A cardio boxing studio can launch a branded apparel shop in under an hour with no inventory and no upfront cost. Members order direct, the platform handles printing and shipping, and the studio earns a margin on every piece. Here is the step-by-step setup with the launch lineup, pricing strategy, and first-60-day playbook.

Step 1: Set Up the Branded Pro Shop

The setup is mechanical:

  1. Sign up at Bear Grips Pro Shops. Get a branded shop URL for your studio.
  2. Upload the studio logo. SVG or AI for cleanest print. High-res PNG as fallback.
  3. Pick brand colors. Two or three core colors that match the studio identity.
  4. Configure shipping and payment. The platform handles fulfillment. You configure how to receive payouts.

Setup takes under an hour for most studios. Once configured, the rest of the launch is product selection and promotion.

Step 2: Pick the Launch Lineup

The 10-12 piece launch lineup for a cardio boxing studio:

This covers the full in-class and post-class wardrobe. After 60 days of sales data, expand the lineup with colors of top sellers and drop underperformers. Quarterly themed drops layer on top.

Step 3: Set Retail Pricing

Cardio boxing members generally pay a premium for branded gear because the merch signals studio membership and athletic identity. The pricing range that works:

ProductSuggested RetailStudio Margin
Athletic tank$28-$35$8-$13
Performance tee$30-$38$10-$16
Compression shorts$32-$42$10-$18
Pullover hoodie$55-$68$16-$24
Crewneck sweatshirt$48-$60$13-$20
Joggers$45-$58$13-$20
Snapback or rope hat$32-$40$10-$15

Hoodies carry the highest margin. Tanks and tees carry the highest unit volume. A balanced lineup with both produces consistent monthly revenue.

Step 4: The First 60 Days Launch Playbook

The launch sequence that produces the strongest results:

Week before launch: Tease the shop in classes. Have instructors wear branded pieces in class. Post sneak peeks on Instagram. Announce launch date.

Launch day: Email the member list with the shop link. Post on every studio social channel. Run a launch promotion (10% off first orders, free sticker pack with hoodie purchase, member-only early access).

Weeks 2-4: Mention the shop at the end of every class. Highlight one product per week on Instagram. Get instructors to share their favorite piece.

Weeks 5-8: First themed drop. Pick a specific theme (a class name milestone, an instructor signature, a charity event) and produce a limited piece with a 14-day window.

Weeks 9-12: Review the data. Add colors of top sellers. Drop underperformers. Plan the next quarterly drop.

Studios that follow this playbook consistently see steady monthly revenue establish within 60-90 days. For the revenue math: cardio boxing studio merchandise revenue math.
