Black History Month, UK
Gymshark Is About Belonging.
So this month, join us in celebration as we explore, amplify and share the stories of Black athletes who are influencing the culture of conditioning; paving the way for a new generation of athletes and starting conversations that will be remembered for years to come.

Conditioning Is Everything We Do Today To Prepare For Tomorrow.
There's no denying that conditioning is what continues to unite us. There may be less energy drinks and squat rack selfies these days. Our lifters may be joined by those who 'board, skate and play ball, but that same physical, emotional and social connection is something that will never disappear. It's a mutual understanding of what our sweat represents that really unites us.
This month, in celebration of Black History Month, UK, we're utilising our platform to explore and educate ourselves on what conditioning means to our Black community; shining a light on the Black change-makers who are influencing not only the culture, but also the direction of conditioning.
Join us in education, celebration and support as roller skaters, freestyle athletes, and artists from the UK come together to celebrate change and bring awareness to the barriers that many Black athletes still face. Here's what you can expect...
