HYROX Team Kit: Build Your Own Brand Instead of Wearing Gymshark

Walk the floor at any HYROX event and the Gymshark logo shows up on more racers than any other single brand. That is a marketing budget at work, not a team decision. A doubles partner pair or a full relay squad that wants to look like a unit, not five people who happened to shop the same online store, needs apparel with its own name on it. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints matching event day gear one piece at a time, from a tee at $19.88 VIP base up through a hoodie for the cooldown, with free US shipping to every teammate and no bulk order required.

Why HYROX teams end up in Gymshark by default

Gymshark sponsors athletes, runs ads across the functional fitness feed, and sells a retail product built for one buyer at a time. None of that adds up to a team kit. A rack of five racers in five individually purchased Gymshark tanks reads as coincidence, not identity. HYROX itself is a race organizer, not an apparel company. What a team wears on race day is entirely the team's call, and buying one retail brand off the shelf is a habit, not a requirement.

Buying Gymshark per racer vs printing a team kit

SizingEach racer buys separately at retailEach racer orders their own size, one order

The cost per piece lands in a similar range either way. The difference is that a team kit is actually a team kit, printed with the squad's own name instead of a brand that sponsors someone else's athletes.

What to put on a HYROX team kit

Most teams start with the tee and the hoodie, then add shorts and a hat once the design is proven at one event.

Sizing doubles and relay squads without inventory risk

A doubles pair needs two sizes. A relay squad might need six different sizes across six athletes. Ordering that mix from a retail brand means checking out six separate times at six separate prices. On a Bear Grips Pro Shop, one design supports every size and color the team enables, and each teammate places their own order through the team link. No one holds inventory for the teammate who has not paid yet.

Selling the kit to the rest of the box

Once the design exists for the competing team, the rest of the box often wants the same look even if they are not racing. A team captain can open the shop to the full membership and set a retail markup above the base price. Default profit setting is $10 per piece, and most captains charge more on the hoodie. That turns a one-time team order into an ongoing small revenue line for the team or the box. See crossfit box merch without reselling Gymshark for the box-wide version of this idea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gymshark officially affiliated with HYROX?

HYROX is a race organizer. Sponsorship relationships between brands and individual athletes or events change over time and are separate from what any team chooses to wear as its own kit.

Do we need to order the whole team kit in bulk before the race?

No. There is no minimum order. Each teammate can order one piece in their own size whenever they are ready.

Can doubles partners have slightly different designs, like different name placement?

Yes. Per-piece customization is supported, so a doubles pair can add individual names while keeping the shared team design.

How close to race day can we still order?

Production runs about a week. Order at least two weeks out to leave a buffer before travel.
