The Problem With Gymshark
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- Gymshark were one of the first companies to use influencer marketing effectively, however while being my favourite business growth story, the rise of Gymshark helped incubate problems which would go on to haunt the brand if left unaddressed....
---------------------------------------
The growth of Gymshark has been nothing short of incredible.
Without a doubt, they have inspired millions to go to the Gym.
This seems weird when talking about a clothing brand, but Gymsharks use of influencer marketing and conscious focus on their ‘culture’ has in fact earnt them a cult following.
While getting people into the gym is a positive thing, many have criticised Gymshark for promoting and sponsoring disingenuous influencers secretly take PED’s all the while claiming natural to sell their programs and supplements to naïve teenagers who hero-worship influencers.
One of the biggest things which puts people off going to the gym is unrealistic expectations and fake naturals are only making this problem worse.
Amongst this advice being given out by Gymshark athletes are glaring pieces of misinformation which could have very negative effects on their audience’s health.
While most of these instances are just honest mistakes and the influencer truly does want the best for their audience because effective advice is often boring, many of these influencer’s resort to party tricks and the invention of their own ridiculous exercises to stand out from the crowd.
Misinformation and dishonesty are one of the main things which the Gymshark founder’s initial fitness inspirations (Scott Herman and Scooby1961) fought against, and Gymsharks association with those who spread misinformation has resulted in the company losing one of their best most transparent science-based influencers; Natacha Oceane.
So, I believe that this is something that Gymshark are going to start taking more seriously.
Moreover, now that Gymshark are a global billion-dollar brand for them to expand they cannot focus purely on sponsoring those with often unnaturally achievable physiques, after all aesthetics is one of many reasons to go to the gym. If Gymshark do start posting photos of people who aren’t diced to the socks, I really don’t think this is a bad thing. If the person is actively trying to improve, many people are likely to find this more relatable which may as a result encourage them to get to the gym.
After watching every single video of Ben Francis, I can say that one of his main philosophies is to not fear failure/mistakes, he views them as a good thing as they cannot be avoided (especially when running an innovative company), after all it is from responding to and addressing mistakes and failure that the business has been able to scale so fast.
Ben remains the major shareholder and from the companies’ recent actions, it does seem like they are making changes for the better.

"There should be no excuse for being a fake natural in this next generation of fitness"
100% agree. It's shameful for a brand to use lying scumbags to push product, and they deserve the pushback they're getting.
Amen brother! Hopefully we’re turning the corner on this issue soon as it’s actually harming people with false marketing, & setting people up for failure or causing kids to take PEDs when they don’t achieve their unreasonable desired results naturally.
The problem is that it works. If you can find a target demographic that's long on disposable income and short on smarts, you can make a lot of money if ethics don't trouble you.
I agree. Time to shut down professional sports for hiring lying scumbags that cheat the system.
Aye the only good fitness poster on Quora
hey, i keep seeing you on quora, u are a cool dude!
Great video as always. I made it in the video with a head shake. Cool seeing Scobby in the video. Saw will tennison as one of the rare Natty gym shark athletes. Obese to beast making an appearance and so many more.
If we keep calling out the bullshit it makes it harder for the people get by on their looks alone as eventually people will be too smart to fall for the none sense. It’s a tough battle as we have to unlearn what people think is currently true when it’s in fact not.
les go g-shred :D
Nice to see someone with a large following agreeing with the need for change. Hopefully more people gain more and more awareness from this.
Dr Greg make a video in this topic its so important. I stopped bodybuilding because of all the fake natties because I thought I had bad genes 🧬 and couldn’t build muscle
Chef Rush spotted @11:57 and @Greg Doucette calling him out ofc :)
@@SukiInDubai Why on earth would you stop bodybuilding just because you don’t have good genetics. That would be like stopping bike riding just because you’re not fast and bike riding it makes no sense
I was with you until the end. They've spent the last 9 years promoting their brand on the backs of way too many influencers who pushed unhealthy, unrealistic broscience. They chased the dollars even though they knew it was morally wrong to align their brand with those people and now we're supposed to give them another chance? They aren't promoting inclusivity in fitness out of the goodness of their hearts, they're doing it because they're being pressured to. Let's be clear about that.
This. When I first looked at their stuff a few years ago I didn't even fit into the largest size. I'm a powerlifter, I train 5 days a week, based on the guys they used to promote them I should have been their key demo, but no, I'm female therefore I must be the size of a toothpick. I have noticed they have some slightly larger sizes now (I would just BARELY fit!), but you still don't really see any big thick muscle women or anyone obese.
Agreed!
Completely agree! It's a business. Like films now days, they are all inclusive not because they actually care, it's because it's the market, the current trend. They are just appealing to peoples sensibilities to sell their product.
To be honest that inclusivity thing is how most companies do it. If a bigger company promotes is doing anything beneficial to the normal person it's just cuz the money.
@@jakedragon8753 I mean why almost any company does anything is for the money. If they are a publicly traded company they legally HAVE TO. If you ever have thought or think other wise their marketing/branding/advertising is working just like they want it on you. Saying large businesses like this work solely on profit motive is like saying water is wet. The problem is their "were sorry and inclusiveness" bullshit is basically that "were sorry" bp commercial from South Park.
What they forgot to mention is that Ben’s grandad owned a clothes factory and his dad lent him £100,000 to start 😂
All these “great” entrepreneurs always have a rags to riches story which can be easily debunked. Richard Branson was given £25k in 1973 by his parents to start his business. In 1973 the average house price was £8k.
@@mikel8850 Fair Point, non the less the conditions the bank gives you, are different from the ones your family give you. Also you're excluding Background, that plays a part in getting a loan and the conditions. And more importantly, i would rate the fact, that his granddad had a factory way higher.
@@nicholashatton3628 not all wealthy people choose private schools.
No way!!!😮😮😮
we didnt.@@clkb8277
I was a personal trainer and powerlifter for years. I wish kids knew most of their fitness heroes are on gear. That's not Walmart protein and Flintstone gummies.
Lol. Who cares? I never knew. It only pushed me to work extra hard not knowing I would never attain that naturally. You want people to just reach the goal and stop? Lol
@@tigreytigrey8537 Somehow you not only completely missed the point of his comment, but the video as well. Congrats!
@@Edgar... lol not agreeing with a person's perspective doesn't equate to missing their point doofus. 🤣
@@tigreytigrey8537 "You want people to just reach the goal and stop?"
That last sentence proves you missed the point and inserted a strawman argument. doofus.
@@Edgar... lol. That actually means that I understood the argument and took a counter position doofus. Jesus. You said it yourself. I inserted a strawman argument. If I didn't understand I wouldn't have been able to insert a strawman argument. lol
Super informative, objective and great video as always. Though I did like the old version of gymshark, the fact that they're trying to involve the average person more is promoting health and fitness at every level, is great. Some would say it promotes being average and unhealthy though I don't think this is the case. Most of the athletes seem kind and down to earth. Promoting health and fitness can't be done in just one way, so branching out like they do will certainly reach more poeple, though parts of the fitness industry still sit on their high horse.
Thanks!
And I completely agree, as great as gymshark was back when aesthetics was their primary focus, their goal is to be a worldwide gym brand so it's pretty important for them to be more relatable to others and include other sports/ niches. Completely respect Ben for that, would be nice if they brought out a line for smol back having individuals though
Look at this doode trying to compensate for his small back with a big comment.
I mean Matt does fitness is still one of their biggest “athletes” who claims natural so I wouldn’t celebrate their new found ethics just yet
@@brettjosh 😂😂😂😂
@Rozrywka Po Pracy my only issue is that the only obese people that gymshark are women right? I mean correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve never seen them promote an thick or obese man. Might as well be called woke shark at this point
I honestly don’t mind unnatural bodybuilders as long as they’re honest. I do have a problem with the ones that claim natural when they’re not.
This is why I support small brands, they don’t reach out to the biggest dudes in the gym, they look for people who can grow themselves as a person, and help grow the brand over time
Gymshark once started out as a small business.
@@user-bs6os7dn5v yah lmao
Any small brands you recommend? Been looking for high quality alternatives
I’ll reach for gymshark cause it’s affordable on sale lol
Lol ES collections, addicted, Cellblock 13, Barcode Berlin, TOF Paris, Nasty Pig, n2n body wear 😅😅😅

Not the kind of bbc content I want 😔🥴😈
Actually it's better than that
I too make BBC quality content 👀
This is a better documentary on the fitness industry than anything the BBC could make.
Martin Bashir would disagree
Can we take a second to appreciate the integrity and morals of natacha? Big respect.
I got wrapped up in this toxic influencer gym culture. I was not eating enough, and I was working out like a mad man. The “never miss a gym day” mentality ruined my life. I am always careful now.
oooohhh so close....anorexia is lifelong if not fatal.....😢
How did it ruin your life? You have long term damage to your body?
@@brandonross8200 Psyche
Think u forgot the steroids
You know never miss a gym day was not got to the gym everyday right.
When I was younger, the focus on the weight room was tilted much more toward strength. Now, it's almost entirely about appearance. Chasing an aesthetic instead of performance can lead to some dark places.
I think it depends more on the weight room/crowd in general. as what you've pointed out is basically powerlifting = strength or bodybuilding= aesthetics which have always been the case. Bodybuilding IS about chasing an aesthetic. And in that you are right, bodybuilding (and powerlifting) in general can often be far from healthy, both physically and mentally (as much as we love it)
Yeah, it’s really weird. Working out should first and foremost be about physical and mental health, but it’s just become pure vanity.
I dunno mate. It's not everyone. I like having a nice body (and so does my wife). But my focus while working out is how strong I can get.
Depends on the sport
Young boys are having more and more body dysmorphia issues and earlier.
Even though he only posts evrey now and then, the quality is worth it
I can guarantee a truly absurd amount of time and effort goes into each one of these videos.
@@GVS Seriously. It's not the same as ranting in front of a camera with only a few edits. This man is scouring the internet for the right clips and making animations to help illustrate his well written script. It's gotta take a while
@@TiberiusCreates yup. I take a middle of the road approach where I can get 3-5 videos out a week (doing all my own editing/scripting/thumbnails/etc)...once you start creating content you realize how much more it takes, for me a 10min video might take 5-10 hours but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was 10x that for his, or more. Mad respect.
Quality over quantity
Wish way more channels were like this, but RUclips just won’t allow it
My son is 17 and was getting into the whole fitness thing like all his buddies and I showed him this video and it opened his eyes he didn't realize a lot of things.. I told him to be himself to be his own individual person don't follow trends and things that are fake or not real it was a big eye opener for him better than I could have explained it.. thanks for the great video.
Love these kind of videos. I did my uni dissertations on fitness branding, a few years ago I had nothing but praise for Gymshark, but did my final year diss around January time and my perspective was completely different. Covered many similar topics as you have in this video, love it.
Uploaded 10hours ago but only now making it into my subscription feed? Interesting RUclips.
I know right? I hit the bell button so I would know right away next time.
I didnt get it until 23 hours later, and i have the bell on... Hmmm
Sameeeeee
Same same
Thought I was the only one
Tbh I love their clothing, but never wanted to buy anything bc of the issues you raise here. Assume I am not the only one, and once again, great videos! Very impressed 👌
Honest question what makes you love their clothing, if you can just get it for like pennies on the dollar off of Ali Express or Ali Baba? Is the gymshark logo worth a 1000% upcharge?
@@saxonjohnson6075 please link I am interested!
Ben Francis cares about what gym shark becomes, not for monetary reasons, watch his videos on youtube, they are soooo genuine and I trust that they'll actually change. So I guess you can buy it now
@@Moghster Lol nah. Gym shark is so genuine they helped spark the current fake natty crazy? All the dumb performative workout videos. Yeah every successful con-man, snake oil salesman, and grifter seem genuine and that they actually care about you. Thats how they con you and rake in the cash. Spare me the soap box for the crappy apparel company
@@saxonjohnson6075 i like ur idea but then.. sweatshops though lmao i'd rather not buy directly from gymshark or any of those two websites
This won’t change. It won’t change because people want to see people who look unrealistic to obtain and chase after them. Most people don’t really want to put the effort to be actually fit. If they did, they wouldn’t have put 100% of trust in influencers and researched a little deeper into the field. Most people want to give responsibility to another entity
Really good point
laziness is a lifestyle for the average human.
"Most people don’t really want to put the effort to be actually fit". Nope. Most working adults simply don't have enough free time during the day to do so. As simple as that. Plus cotton gym or sport gear really makes little sense to those adults left who for some reason need sport gear for gym or other sports.
@@femmeNikita27 that's a big lie. That time spent watching netflix and just staring endlessly at a screen can be replaced with better habits. But let's say you are right. How about the increasing number of kids who are fat and not doing exercise? Do those bad habits not translate to adulthood? Get real and stop making excuses.
@@stuff4232 True
I love your videos, you are highlighting all the issues that have always annoyed me in fitness industry, this channel is going to be huge. Keep up the great work!
I’m already looking forward to Josh Bret getting that One million subscribers.
why?
That Chef Rush diss at 12:04 was on point 😂
Lol
i noticed it just now lol
yeah, saw that and i was like "my man"
Been a while since I've done one of these and great to see the quality is still up there, subs have grown and you're still smiling. Awesome stuff
I have to say it man, you make the best science-based fitness related documentaries there are, for real. I really appreciate your work and hope more people flow into this channel and get awareness of these issues.
I'm overweight and was looking around the health food section of my grocery store. Someone with a gym shark sleeveless shirt came into the isle and started looking around. He kept glancing over as I was reading various ingredient labels. I finally chose something and he asked, "Just curious what you were looking for. Because buying that won't matter if you don't lose a bunch of weight first." --- Really? Me buying a bag of Wilde Chips instead of Ruffles is a pointless move? Oh, and what did he buy? Some Keto Oreo knockoffs. Because, of course, he's earned it.
He’s a dick. Sorry you even had that unnecessary experience
Fuck him. Choosing something different to eat which takes you out of your comfort zone is a lot of progress.
wilde chips instead of ruffles isnt gonna do anything
man i’m sorry :( he seemed awful & that he was just projecting his insecurities on to u :(. keto is for epileptic children anyways but of course diet industry got a hold of it
@@lljw7151 I just compared their nutrition labels. Definitely a difference and I’ll point them out too ;D 20 Wilde chips are 160 calories compared to roughly 267 calories from 20 Ruffle chips. Wilde chips also offer more protein, less fat, and way less carbs compared to the same amount of Ruffle chips. Granted, you can get a bit more Iron and Vitamin C from Ruffles but you can *definitely* get those from other healthier sources.
Missed my chicken broccoli and rice and my protein window for this and it was totally worth it.
lmao nice meta comment

Hello mate ,start watch your videos today at first time,and u make a very good work about it.I go to gym about 6 years,in my second year at age of 21 i was ripped without protein powder ,creatines etc,just everything that my body gets was from my food,i dont eat so much cause studying but the result was amazing,for guy that hit the gym for 2 only years
The editing was incredible, great work! it's nice to see people bringing out the hypocrisy of the fitness industry
I love the gymshark clothing itself the material feels great to me but in terms of marketing 100% agree most of them are all fake nattys
At least they don't have child slave labor making their clothes like Nike.
@@thecensoredmuscle563
Good point bro
@@thecensoredmuscle563 Where are their clothes manufactured?
@@snuffcore9686 china is their biggest manufacturer.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 not defending it but sometimes those are their only job and if you take that away.....well.
Influencer marketing definitely has its glaring issues as you highlight so well. While Gymshark basically created that marketing method in the fitness space & went down the wrong path for several years, I’m glad to see them starting to take measures to right the ship now & start using more “real” & attainable models in their campaigns.
Like any trailblazing company, they’re bound to make mistakes, but the important thing as you said is to admit when you’ve done something wrong and work to improve and fix those issues.
It's strange what kind of odd places my depression and need for distractions take me. I have never even heard of Gymshark before. I have never been in a gym before lol and yet I continue to see so many fitness related things recently.
It’s a sign, look into joining a gym. Helps with the distraction part at the very least
I actually think beauty influencers were most likely the first (possibly other clothing brands as well), but gymshark was the first in the fitness world
Your ability to edit and the way you deliver using a journalistic approach is top notch
Damn bro, found this on my recommended. You are literally amazing at making these types of videos. You're basically like the Vox of fitness. Love your docu-cinematic style. Hope you'll expand like crazy

Great Documentary! This video just reminded me of a time when out of nowhere I felt like somehow the fitness industry EXPLODED shortly after social media became mainstream. When I first started seeing these Gymshark logos at the gym more frequently, I felt like it was one of those "in the right place at the right time" stories. I was impressed by how quickly Gymshark got popular and just capitalizing on the social media trend of influencers and social media marketing. I was seriously thinking that your typical marketing firm was going to start panicking!
"The better someone looks, the more they know" that's true the conditioning is there to make that click. Obvi this person looks so good because they know what they are doing, and therefore their fitness plan will help me... Fallen for that too many times
they know what’s best for them, that’s the best way i could put it
Quality content. BBC need to give you your own series. You carry a powerful message.
I honestly never knew about these Gymshark controversies. I think Gymshark needs to stop promoting people on the gear because it's causing ED's and body dysmorphia to both men and women. Gymshark needs to step up their game.
The workout industry is basically filled with gear heads, never going to stop
Erectile disfunction?
@@sixtus9559 In this case, ED stands for Eating Disorder. A widespread summary: “Eating disorders are serious mental and physical illnesses that involve complex and damaging relationships with food, eating, exercise, and body image.”

@@Manusia.satu1 it’s a problem when you’re absolutely shredded and big, and you think you’re too small, so you chase PED’s to “improve your health” when you’re already incredibly healthy
Good video again Josh, your channel is growing very fast, congrats 👍
Thanks James!
Thats what she said ....
Honestly love your videos please keep up the hard work but all enjoy live too ❤😁
I just started getting back into working out purely for my mental health and I gotta at least say a couple of the videos I have stumbled on are pretty good. Thanks for all the new info and helping me remember stuff I've learned from the past.
The white house chef animation killed me 🤣!!!!
This is an amazing video and seriously underrated. I can imagine being a pioneer company they are going to make mistakes, lets hope they learn and improve. Also just wanted to say I'm thankful for Greg Doucette and ObesetoBeast for helping me understand what it takes to be healthy both physically and mentally.
This editing and video is really phenomenal
Not much of a youtube commenter normally. But shoutouts to Natacha Oceane for not selling herself that's a rare trait in today's society. Also your videos are great, keep up the great work!
These video essays are outstanding. You hit every nail on the head and do a great job clarifying your points and acknowledging countering views. Love the references to Natasha, Will, and Hellah as examples of the right direction.
The quality and content of this video is off the charts, on par with other videos from Josh. Just amazing stuff all around.
Also, your objective approach shines through in that it wasn't only calling out the BS. You highlighted well that the rate of growth likely contributed to the current problems and also that they are beginning to acknowledge that there are problems. Hopefully this video is part of the solution to the problems.
First time stumbling across your channel, this video is super informative and I'm only halfway through. Had to pause to provide some positive feedback 👍
Josh I hope someday someone will make a video detailing your rise to greatness. You're amazing at what you do, bruv🤯. Much respect all the way from South Africa👌🏿🇿🇦
I love your documentary even though take more time to upload because a lot of research and other activities you must do, not to mention video editing. Good job and thank you for keeping us informed!!!
These videos are so well done. Watching these documentary type videos are always informative and well done. Keep up the great work!
The quality of this is... OFF THE CHARTS!!
Keep up the good work 🔥
10:36 this!!! I think too many haters in comment sections don’t understand that the majority of gymshark customers have very “normal” bodies. Most of the people I see out and about in gymshark aren’t ripped to shreds and don’t have to be to wear gymshark, so I don’t see why it’s not okay for gymshark to showcase people with “normal” bodies. People leaving hateful comments on pictures of people without shredded bodies on gymshark‘s IG just further pushes society’s unrealistic body standards and causes people with body image issues to potentially dislike themselves and feel unwelcome to “become fit”
Seeing people with my body type getting gym shark sponsorships makes me feel more motivated to continue my own fitness journey. I hate this idiot mentality that seeing a fat person work out promotes obesity. We're just trying to get in shape like anyone else.
miss
Literally nobody is claiming that fat people working out promotes obesity, i think you people completely missed the point.
And that is that obese people want to be seen as people who are on the same level as Chris Bumstead for example, and they want their bodies to be seen as beautifull.
That by definition is bodydysmorphia, and they're trying to label everyone who criticises them as being guilty of "fatshaming".
The body positive movement is a cancerous movement.
L comment, work out
@@ishitrealbad3039 it’s not body positivity, you are confusing the movements.
It’s saying that fat people can and SHOULD work out too
@@ishitrealbad3039 I hate it so much. If anything, it keeps people from being their best because they think its okay
Edit: it also pisses me off when they say "plus sized" instead of fat. It is FAT. It's not supposed to be sugarcoated. You are not just larger than other people. You are fat.
Josh Brett acknowledged that Greg Doucette and other big influencers called out Chef Rush’s video on Men’s Health at the end there…that’s awesome!
Great stuff with these videos Josh. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to learn more truths about the industry.

I really liked watching Matt Ogus back in the day.
Yes, I was clued up enough to know he was juicing to achieve his physique, but what set him apart for me was the fact that he actually had knowledge aswell.

He never came across as bro science.

What I took away: the majority wants a “get fit quick” solution so these influencers preaching it with the backing of good genetics and steroids as their credibility are rising to the top. Potentially ruining or severely harming their audience with false information. And this company is fueling it with their name and reputations.
That's pretty much it.
Haven't even watched a minute and I already agree
Suuuupperrr under appreciated channel, love all this content man, keep it up
like your videos man.,. great effort
One of the best vidéo on RUclips ! Mad props ! Keep Going Josh !
I've never clicked on a video notification so fast. Amazing work as always!
very informative video that hits the good and the bad of the company - great job!
The guys right.. i have a number of t shirts where just one or 2 actually makes me look better .. i will only wear those t shirts to the gym as it improves my perception of myself. its not a vain thing. its just a boost in confidence. if a t shirt is fitting me just right and making me look good as opposed to a t shirt that only hugs my love handles then im in the gym feeling a bit more motivated if i think i ''look'' better.
Fantastic video
Was just about to comment that u should be a gymshark athlete 100%. A guy who used to be fat but now is at an attainable but healthy body fat percentage with a great but not roided out build. Feels like you would be the type of guy they should wanna reach out to
I love that all of Brett's videos are showing me the same shitty snake oil commercials that he is talking about, literally in the middle of him talking about them.
Josh Brett uploads are the best day of the month
This video is insanely informative, gymshark just by looking at it doesn't seem that bad, doesn't seem different from other clothing brands, but when you get into detail and research on their history, on their means, and you realize the damage they create to other people's health it's outraging.... Nice video!
I love their shorts tho they don’t give me 🐪 toe
Loved hearing about the rise of the company. Very inspiring story.
Great video as always, can't wait for the next one!
Just one small advice, when you personally show up to talk, the sound changes a bit and somewhat breaks continuity, if you only use one audio output even when you show up, that shouldn't happen :p
Keep them coming!
Thanks! And Yeah, I forgot to swap the mic audio🙁 I'll remember next time!
