Why Gymshark is going to Dubai...

Recently, we flew from London Heathrow to Dubai Airport, the busiest international airport in the world! We were visiting to delve into its fitness scene. During our our time there, we visited some of the finest and most luxurious gyms I have ever seen, including TKMMA Fit Gym, which boasts regular visits from big names like Floyd Mayweather, Khabib, and Georges St-Pierre.
Dubai caught our eye as an exceptional destination for all things fitness, which is why Gymshark is incredibly excited to explore this market. I'm also super excited to share that Gymshark is now available to shop in in the UAE here: gym.sh/UAE

Thanks for watching, I'd love to know what everyone thinks of this style of video! Comment below!👇

[@user-sy2qj5up5p]

love the raw kinda style

[@stevepeachey5611]

Great to meet your team, and love DubaiI, love the blog.

[@camysimi9981]

Loved this Ben thank you for sharing!😅Would have loved to see some more from inside the gyms themselves but I understand the policy, could you do more of these kind of style vlogs or just more posts in general love watching your channel and I ve ran out of videos😅Thanks again!

[@chiganuggoo9929]

They're perfect Ben. Clearly well produced, but conveying enough rawness and realness we've come to know and love from your content. Even though you've grown Gymshark into a massive company now, you've managed to still keep it relatable and by default helping keep people invested in the brand, b y opening up like this. Dubai is a great move for Gymshark - it's growing every day. I've been several times and always seen people in Gymshark attire, so you've got a great springboard to really take off there with some official presence..

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

Absolutely loved it!

[@connormcchicken5915]

"Everyone in Dubai is a PT, real estate agent or Model" facts

[@DecisionV2]

indeed

[@jamesg1501]

Funny how the healthiest/fittest person in the video is Ben Francis himself, a lot to be said for being lean, tall,clean shaven and not covered in tattoos

[@georgina4874]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Joshbelieveit]

Love seeing some the thinking. Very impressive. Would’ve loved to see some more collabs with this.

[@samsteel9220]

just casually a billionaire being normal that's nice 😂😂😂

[@newry12]

Focused and Fun,your a great inspiration to young people following their dreams whilst being polite and human. Well done Ben😊

[@michaeljohnson2857]

[@ajewonline4588]

One of the greatest entrepreneurs!!!!?

[@preppy___]

He's amazing, I'm a fan🤧💕

[@paolo7257]

this video is very amazing , to watch and watch again because it explains so many things for a company ( brand , expansion and market analysis )

[@calvinliu6304]

Safe travels mate

[@ArnTerry]

Great style of filming felt more real and involved from a viewers perspective, continued success dude

[@LearnGem]

congrats ben

[@wesleyhealey5272]

Well done Ben 👏🏻 Mitch flying the flag for the Healey’s

[@sennesoetens9438]

I love these vlogs

[@viktorbanczi9905]

Love the inspiration Ben, thank you. One thing I have to point out out of curiosity. You says recently, but it's 2023 in the video? Love you.

[@rhimiles]

Maybe for a CEO who's functioning in the world of long term vision, last year still feels recent?

[@alexb2298]

It's great following the business and seeing the development potential without having to do all the air miles and nights in a hotel. Post a follow up for your shop launch and pop ups over there.

[@kristinablagojevic3710]

I am a trainer in Abu Dhabi, from Europe. I would be absolutely blown away if there was any event in Dubai like there are in LA and GB. I am waiting for my package and trying to be patient for everything that's coming to Dubai. I'm your client since 2020 and definitely biggest fan of the brand. All my clients are buying gymshark now! Btw also other clients were wearing gymshark before I came.

[@TK-nj8xv]

There's literally the Dubai Muscle Show and Active Show that has been going since 2016...

[@netrowex]

All the best!

[@sennesoetens9438]

Lets go !!

[@KaydeeUchechukwu]

Great video, amazing country. But the filming restrictions is ridiculous I think, regardless you are a phenomenal entrepreneur and networking is really important. Thank you Ben for this content 💪🙏

[@alexliba]

Finally, Gymshark in Dubai!!!

[@preppy___]

This is so exiting!❤ Gymshark has the best quality for sportswear. I've been wearing it for 5+ years and while brands like sweaty Betty deteriorate quickly, Gymshark passed the test of time.

[@broggie123]

Man crazy sunburn 🥵

[@eldonhughes6780]

Inspiration

[@fabandell]

I think we were out there same time as you guys!! Missed you but saw Joe

[@olbapoli4074]

Tan owner of tk mma is a good guy. Been to that gym and its really good. Seen khamzat a few times (think he is based there now).

[@ashishRjs695]

Please come to India #gymshark indians waiting for this brand🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Lewissummerson]

Big up tkmma best gym by far

[@emiratesdubai7s]

Did someone say 7s 👀 see you in November Ben!

[@MrNagasakii]

I live in Dubai and everything in this video is right, fitness and MMA is extremely trendy at the moment everyone is into it. Also in terms of brands Dubai is an amazing hub for international brands, the biggest Asian, European and American brands are here you can find everything (except gym shark for now 😉) but yeah amazing stuff

[@kristie5916]

Hi Ben - so great Gymshark is expanding! Although I have not seen a lot of happy reviews of the women’s products lately especially from the older athletes/long time Gymshark reviewers.. As a whole, Gymshark has been lacking in getting with the trends and coming out with unique designs that people would be attracted to (not to say there aren’t currently any great products at all). We want to love Gymshark but unfortunately have not been satisfied with what’s been releasing lately

[@JayFriedrichs]

I’m curious, was it warm there by chance ?

[@ianmcintosh6457]

Hi Ben. I live in the Middle East Jeddah actually. Watched you story from the start great work . Check out the make up of the UAE.

[@faraz_ahmed_74]

Can't wait for gs to be here

[@HDBnB1]

Love the content, but can we get better microphones? Pretty tough to understand everything.

[@ZydKhambule-mi4wu]

Ben and Team. You forgot to visit a gym called "Oxygen, O2"

[@TypicalZain]

Take me along

[@Blacc_Queen21]

🥰🥰

[@Sensei_88_]

Ben mid June to mid September [3 months] the Dubai is very very hot that is when you have to live somewhere else in the world that is a bit cooler and get away from Dubai ~ maybe live-in Singapore for that 3 months[?]

[@connormcchicken5915]

Singapore is one less hot but it's not as tax advantageous as Dubai is. It is the better of the two if one was previously operating from South East Asia

[@Sensei_88_]

@@connormcchicken5915 for those 3 months when Dubai is way too hot, which country/city do you recommend someone temporarily move to? so in mid September they can move back to Dubai and live there for 9 months. I think UK is also very hot mid June to mid September that is why I didn't mention UK

[@SvN8SiX]

For a billionaire, he is so humble... wow.

[@sayantaniguha8519]

You can try contacting Yash Moradiya

[@deodenum]

was this shot last year July?

[@thenotorious2289]

Yeah with all the flooding in dubai

[@jameswalker366]

First 🇦🇪🙌🏻 💪🏻

[@LifeofSam24]

bring gymshark to birmingham bullring!!!

[@ianmcintosh6457]

Expats consist of 27% Indian , 12.7 % Pakistani , 7.4% Bengali 17% others. Marketing there may well increase awareness. Renting in a Mega Mall would take a lot more consideration. All the best.

Please come to fast in india because fuaark brand copying you in logo already 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@SachaBitar]

I think you need to bring good design back. Oner and nvgtn are doing a better job in my opinion design wise. What is this atrocity of ripped leggings that you just dropped. Focus

[@TheFourSatoshis]

You burnt bro 😅

[@olbapoli4074]

...to jump on the bandwagon and pay no tax lol

[@snaptenilles]

So this is a video of gyms we cant see pff what a waste of time 😬

[@michaelbrightmore9343]

How's he built a billion pound business, he's zero personality about him. All he does is moans about how hot it is but then was in a jumper on more than one occasion!

[@anythingunderdsunyt5701]

hi ben 🙏 any job openings happening anytime soon? WOuld really like to apply its a dream job for me to work in my favorite gym wear of all time 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 im qatar based and would happily cross country if given a chance 🤍

[@surgicalcapscom]
