Fitness Uniforms for Gyms, Studios and Clubs

No, staff wear only. Retail stock for the counter is a promotional supplier’s trade: they hold drinkware and bags by the pallet and price them accordingly, and we would be buying them in and marking them up. What we do is the gear your team is in — polos, tees, singlets, hoodies, jackets and caps, sourced as part of an order or decorated on garments you already own. Branded gym bags are the one place the line blurs, and if a bag is going to staff rather than to the counter we can quote it.

It depends on the shirt more than on the print. On a dyed polyester the garment colour can migrate up into a pressed transfer under heat, which is what turns a white logo pink on a red shirt a few weeks later — it is avoidable with the right transfer and the right press settings, and we will tell you if the fabric you have picked is a risk. Sweat and a daily wash then work at the edge of any adhesive. For a mark somebody wears every shift, embroidery on the chest and print on the back panel is the combination that lasts.

Embroidered for the things worn daily, printed where the artwork earns it. On a polo, a hoodie or a cap the stitching is structural, so it outlasts the garment rather than lifting at the edge the way a transfer eventually does. Print is the right answer for full-colour artwork, for a large back panel, and for lightweight performance tees where a dense stitch would sit heavy and pucker. Embroidery is stitched here in Glenfield; transfers are printed by a trusted partner and pressed here on our own heat press. Caps and beanies are embroidery only — pressing headwear needs a cap press and we do not have one yet.

Yes, and it is worth setting up deliberately. Once your logo is on record we can decorate single garments on request, so a contract trainer can order a shirt in your branding without you carrying stock or handling the money. Tell us who is allowed to order against your logo and we will work to that list. If you would rather keep it centralised, we can quote the whole floor at once instead — both work, and the difference is who pays rather than what we do.

Roughly 5 to 21 working days from artwork approval. A straight reorder sits at the fast end — a stitch file we already hold, at the same size, with stock on hand. Artwork we have not stitched at that size before, a garment we have to bring in, or a run across several sizes and styles sits at the slow end. If you have an opening date, a rebrand or a new intake of instructors starting, say so when you ask and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable rather than agreeing and hoping.

Yes, and plenty of sites do — a brand of tee your trainers already like, or a part-used run from a previous supplier. Send them in and we will decorate them. The one thing worth knowing is that we cannot replace a customer-supplied garment if something goes wrong on the press or under the needle, so on something you cannot get again we will tell you the risk before we start.

No. One shirt for a new casual instructor is a real order and so is sixty for a site opening. Larger runs get better per-unit pricing, because the setup work is the same whether it is one garment or fifty — which is also why a very small order carries a handling charge. It is shown on your quote, so there is nothing to discover later. Speciality film is the one exception to no minimum: reflective and fluorescent logos, and fabrics that need a film made for them, start at ten transfers of each design at each size (twenty for fluorescent), counted in transfers rather than garments. The quote says which your garment needs.

No — there is nowhere to come to. We are a workshop rather than a shop: no retail counter, no walk-ins, and no collection by arrangement. Everything is couriered, Auckland included, and freight is quoted as its own line rather than buried in the garment price. For a multi-site operator we can split a run and send each site its own boxes.
