Custom functional fitness hoodies from Bear Grips Pro Shops start at $36.88 VIP base with no minimum order. Hoodies cover warm-up, cool-down, post-class wear, cold-weather training, and the Q4 holiday apparel cycle. For most functional fitness gyms, hoodies generate the highest per-piece margin in the apparel program.

Hoodie Picks for Functional Fitness

Most gyms order 2-3 hoodie styles: one daily-driver pullover, one fitted women's cropped, and one premium for Q4 holiday or competition apparel.

Crewneck Sweatshirts (No-Hood Layer)

For gyms with members who prefer the no-hood profile (camera-friendly content, easier movement), crewnecks fill the same role as hoodies in the warm-up and post-class wardrobe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best hoodie for functional fitness gyms?

The Bear Grips Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 VIP base. Midweight pullover with brushed-fleece interior. Most-ordered functional fitness hoodie style. For premium Q4 pieces, the Champion Performance Hoodie at $45.88 is the standard.

Do functional fitness members prefer pullover or full-zip hoodies?

Pullover hoodies lead in volume. The Comfort Soft Hoodie pullover ships in higher quantities than the full-zip equivalent. Full-zips appeal to members who layer in and out during dynamic warm-ups.

When should a gym launch its Q4 holiday hoodie?

Open the pre-order in late October so pieces ship in mid-November ahead of Thanksgiving. The Q4 holiday hoodie is typically the largest single apparel cycle of the year for functional fitness gyms.

How much margin should a gym take on a hoodie?

$15-$25 per hoodie is typical. The Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 base and $52-58 retail gives $15-22 margin. The Champion Performance Hoodie at $45.88 base and $62-72 retail gives $16-26 margin.
