Fit and Cut Comparison

Which Brand to Choose for Your Shop

A gym or team selling primarily to a training audience does well starting with the Next Level racerback or the Bella+Canvas performance tank, both at the same $19.88 VIP base price. A boutique studio or lifestyle brand leaning premium should look at the Next Level triblend racerback or the Bella+Canvas flowy scoop muscle tank, both priced at $25.88 VIP but with a different fit character. See the full fabric guide for more on how each option feels and prints.

Can You Carry Both Brands in the Same Shop?

Yes. Since Bear Grips Pro Shops has no minimum order on any product, there is no downside to listing tanks from both brands side by side and letting customers choose based on fit and fabric preference rather than picking one brand and hoping it fits everyone.
