Ya’ll…..if you have not tried any of of the Gymshark clothing brand of fitness apparel, you are seriously missing out. This company is the bomb.com and I know I say that about a lot of companies….I’m probably the biggest boast writer out there lol
This review is going to be solely based on their apparel, and by that I am their tops, bras, and accessories. This company is so large and in charge that I am having to break it up into multiple parts to even cover everything.
I have invested my time and money into getting to know this company as a whole. Gymshark is real and awesome and I am about to show you why.

About Gymshark
One thing I have learned already is that this is a United Kingdom based company. I don’t know why I didn’t know that, shame on me. You learn something everyday, still remains true lol.
A group of young high school lads created this and engineered this brand in a garage in 2012, and it ever expanded over a short few years. Gymshark is supported by a small million (HA) or so social media followers and around 131 countries!
Gymshark is one the fastest growing and innovative fitness brand companies around today. They are striving to create effective gym attire while holding fast to their beliefs and visions. I would say they are highly succeeding. They obviously caught my eye and I became obsessed. Thanks boys!!
P.S. Check out our latest Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 Review video below!
Gymsharks’ Vision
“Before there is an action, there is an idea.” Before I fulfill my dream of joining the team, I had to think about it. Not the same meaning as what they are saying, but still a truthful statement.
Before you can succeed at anything, you have to think about why it is worth it to you. Such a related vision that they seem to continue to hold through every launch. You seriously have no idea what you are missing if you haven’t dipped your toe into this brand. Take the leap of faith and dive into this review of tops, bras, and accessories. You won’t be disappointed!
Gymshark Tops
I honestly don’t know how I narrowed this post down to just tops, bras, and accessories. Hold onto your knickers because we are diving head first into the deep end.
Crop Tops
I firmly believe that anyone should wear crop tops if you want to. You might not think you can, but girl….you got this. If it makes you happy, forget all the haters out there. Rock their socks off with your confidence!
The first item for review is this coral vital seamless cropped long sleeve. I have the matching leggings to complete the set. I love these together. I have worn them separate as well, but both pieces together is a real vibe.
If only I was tan all year around because this color 100% makes you darker because of how bright it is. The color is not see-through, so sometimes I wear it bra less depending on the mood (the nips can show through if you’re worried about that).
This piece is one of the less expensive pieces on their site, setting at $35. Yes, ok, paying for a half shirt at that price can seam expensive. But compared to the other shirts on the site, it’s pretty decent.
Next up for review is this grey beauty. I couldn’t find it on the website, but I would just announce this as a grey crop top tank top. I love this top. She goes with dang near everything. I have even worn it on a bloated day and she flatters the curves in all the right ways.
I want to say that this top cost around $40ish….but shoooot she is worth it. I love buying color neutral tops that I know I can wear with other brands. But also, this is a piece you could wear out upon the town if it floats your boat in that way.
Finally, a non-crop top, in the crop top category lol. I know I’m going off the edge here! This young lad is soooo dang cute. Goes with dang near every pair of leggings I own.
This is a buttery soft, high edged top that I could not live without in my collection. This Gymshark top has a special scrunch accessory in the back of the shirt that is especially nice for a more flattering look. Boxy shirts can tend to look less than flattering on any body, and the scrunch definitely helps show off them curves girl!
Unfortunately, this shirt is a few years old. So I can’t show you How much it is, or if it came in different colors, or how it looks on a models body. Not saying that my dirty mirror pics aren’t enough, but sometimes it is helpful to get a better visual on someone who takes professional pics!!
Sports Bras
These are items that most women can’t go a day without. I on the other hand, could never wear a bra again and be the happiest chick alive. However….running without a bra on is very uncomfortable….
That being said I wear bras from now on. I learned my lesson in high school, going a whole soccer practice without wearing a sports bra…..woof. First up is Gymshark’s Flex Strappy Sports bra! I have it displayed with the matching leggings, which are called the Flex High Waisted Leggings.
My knowledge in Gymshark’s sports bras are limited, but the flex strappy bra is excellent. It provides medium support, the front comes up pretty high so none of my boobs are trying to climb out, and the color goes with dang near everything. I tend to take out the padding because I just find them the most irritating. So even though those are out, my nips are not trying to poke through.
This bra is about $35. The material isn’t really soft, b it just a smooth durable material. The description says sweat wicking, but when I am profusely sweating during leg day, sweat will show up. I would still highly recommend this product for its durability.
Final bra for review is a gorgeous new product that just came out last month. Below is the V Neck Training Sports Bra. I bought it in the Royal blue color that I have been recently pairing it with the new Adapt Camo Seamless Leggings (which are BOMB).
This bra is BUTTERY SOFT guys. I am literally obsessed with this bra. I want it in every color. Like STAT. If only I had an endless amount of money. All I can say is some day….when I am sponsored….hopes and dreams hehe!
Furthermore, this bra provides loooooow support. I wore this bra recently for an upper body day, and my girls were trying to escape! HA! Definitely shows sweat if you are not into that sort of thing. But this bra is a meer $25 which, for this site is a STEAL so hop on these!
Accessories
Gymshark has A TON of options to improve your fitness journey. And I have only 2 of those items lmao. I only wish I could afford to have them all. If I did have an endless amount of money, I would get the water bottle, the backpack, a hat of theirs (which they have hella cute ones), and maybe some of their socks!!
And that’s probably not even it. They have a bunch of other cute products that I dare you to try out. But what I have for y’all to ogle about is a jump rope and wrist straps….
I can see the excitement fill your eyeballs after reading that. I know I am a risky buyer!! Well, let me tell you, these 2 purchases could not have been better ones. I have used both of these to death.
The first is the jump rope. Ok so it may seem like just an average joe…but it isn’t. So if I was at all bad ass, I could make the handles heavier by adding rocks or sand. I can’t do it now because I may lost one of the caps, but you still can and let me know how it goes for you!!
Last but not least, the wrist straps. I bought these because I had seen a lot of female lifters use them to help them grip bars and things. Well, I was too scared to use them for a while because I didn’t have the confidence, which seems so silly, right?!
Well, I grew a pair not a day too late, and I FREAKING LOVE THEM. These straps have been the best decision when doing PR Deadlifts. I even let my boyfriend use them the first couple times to stretch them out, and he said they are great quality.
The straps are designed to help with holds on the barbell or any other kinds of bars when doing heavier lifts. They have a cushion for the tops of your hands as to not cause any breakdown. I HIGHLY recommend these for anyone starting out too. Despite what I said earlier, they are a great confidence booster for lifting heavier weight. Just took me a minute to realize.
SUMMARY
Gymshark is one of the more highly recognized brands for fitness attire out there. They have a great vision with great quality to back them. If you are in the hood for some kick a** gym attire, I highly recommend that you venture over to their site and browse. You will leave liking something…
