Bear Grips Pro ShopsPersonal Trainer Fitness Apparel Pricing: Costs, Savings, and Real Numbers
- Personal trainer apparel pricing has two parts: the base price Bear Grips charges and the margin the trainer sets on top.
- VIP plans lower the base price by $4 to $11 per item compared to the free plan.
- Trainers searching for a discount code can build their own client discount instead of hunting for someone else's.
- A 30-client trainer can realistically clear $2,500 to $3,500 a year in merch margin.
Searches like "personal trainer clothing discount" and "personal trainer affordable" usually come from two different angles: a trainer wanting cheaper branded gear for their own practice, and a trainer wanting to know how to price merch for clients without overcharging. Both answers start with the same base price table. Bear Grips Pro Shops charges a base price per product (which covers printing, shipping, and platform costs), and the trainer sets the retail price on top of that base. The gap between the two is the trainer's margin.
What actually determines the cost of personal trainer apparel
| Product | Free plan base | VIP base | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airlume Cotton Tee | $23.93 | $19.88 | $4.05 |
| Comfort Soft Hoodie | $44.94 | $36.88 | $8.06 |
| Men's Performance Polo | $41.93 | $34.88 | $7.05 |
The free plan carries a higher base price on every product. A trainer running any real volume of client sales earns that VIP savings back within the first few sales each month.
Free plan vs Self-Service VIP vs Done-For-You VIP
| Plan | Price | Live products | Notes |

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Where the "discount code" search actually points
Trainers who search for a personal trainer clothing discount code are often trying to make their own branded gear cheaper to hand out. The better move is flipping the question: instead of hunting for someone else's discount, a trainer can create their own client discount. Every Bear Grips signup gets a unique affiliate code that can be shared as a 10 percent discount for clients, which also earns the trainer a commission when a client or referred vendor signs up. See the ambassador program guide for how that works in practice.
Sample margin math for a first client drop
| Item | Clients buying | Margin/item | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tee ($30 retail) | 10 | $10 | $100 |
| Hoodie ($55 retail) | 4 | $18 | $72 |
| First drop total | $172 | ||
Repeated monthly across a 30 to 40 client base, that pattern lands in the $2,500 to $3,500 annual range with no inventory carried.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is there a real discount code for personal trainer apparel?
Bear Grips does not run third-party discount codes, but every vendor gets their own customizable affiliate code to offer clients a discount while earning a commission.
What is the cheapest way to start selling branded apparel?
The Free plan at $0 per month with 3 live products is the lowest-cost way to test demand before upgrading to VIP pricing.
How much margin should a personal trainer add per item?
The default suggested profit is $10 per item. Most trainers charge $10 to $15 on tees and $15 to $25 on hoodies.
Does upgrading to VIP always pay for itself?
It depends on volume. A trainer selling more than a handful of items a month typically recovers the $59 VIP cost through the lower per-item base price alone.
