Custom Leggings Brand: A Lululemon and Gymshark Alternative for Studios

June 10, 2026 6 min read By Cameron Wells
Quick Answer
  • Leggings are the single product category Lululemon and Gymshark built their entire reputations on, and the highest-margin piece for a private label too.
  • Bear Grips Pro Shops offers the Signature Seamless Leggings, Women's High-Waist Pocket Leggings, and Capri Leggings from $54.88 VIP base.
  • A small leg or hip logo placement, the style borrowed from lifestyle brands, is available as a design option.
  • No minimum order means a studio can test one leggings design before committing to a full color run.

Search interest in "custom lululemon leggings," "lululemon alternative leggings," and "gymshark leggings alternative" all point at the same underlying want: a leggings line good enough to wear next to a lifestyle brand's, without paying that brand's logo tax. Leggings are also the highest-margin category in most gym or studio shops, which makes a private label leggings line one of the strongest first moves for a business building its own brand.

Why leggings are the category worth owning first

Leggings sell at a higher price point than tees, get worn more often per week than most other gym pieces, and carry the highest brand-loyalty behavior of any apparel category, members who like one pair tend to buy a second and third in different colors. That combination makes leggings the single best category for a studio or gym to put its own name on first.

Logo placement options

Lifestyle brands popularized a small logo placed on the outside of the calf or hip rather than a large front print, and the same placement is available as a design choice when uploading artwork. A small wordmark or icon in that spot reads as premium and intentional, closer to how Lululemon and Gymshark position their own leggings than a large front graphic would.

Pricing math on leggings

ProductVIP baseTypical studio retailMargin per piece
Signature Seamless Leggings$54.88$78 to $90$23 to $35
High-Waist Pocket Leggings$54.88$78 to $92$23 to $37
High-Waist Capri Leggings$54.88$70 to $85$15 to $30

Leggings routinely clear more margin per piece than any other apparel category in a studio's shop, which is why most studios launch this piece early rather than last.
