Dick’s Sporting Goods is bringing Gymshark’s cult athleticwear to cities across the U.S. with a new partnership.
Launching exclusively in 12 Dick’s House of Sport stores this week, the retailer becomes Gymshark’s first-ever U.S. wholesale partner, marking a major milestone for both brands. The news comes hot on the heels of the opening of the U.K.-based gym and fitness brand’s first permanent U.S. retail store at Roosevelt Field mall in New York last weekend.
Starting on Friday, Dick’s will offer a range of Gymshark apparel and accessories, including the brand’s signature Power and Vital lines, in a range of gym-ready colorways inside a fully branded collab space at each participating House of Sport location.
Dick’s noted that the space will feature fixtures that have been designed and clad to display the Gymshark branding, incorporating mannequins modeled on Gymshark athletes – such as three-time Mr. Olympia men’s physique champion Ryan Terry – and specialty mannequin stands made from actual weight plates.

Brendan Kirk, vice president of merchandising at Dick’s Sporting Goods, said in a statement that becoming Gymshark’s first U.S. wholesaler allows the company to give its customers access to “fresh and surprising brands,” as well as further differentiate its product offering.
“Gymshark is redefining what modern training apparel looks like with high-performance, stylish pieces rooted in real gym culture,” Kirk noted. “House of Sport is the perfect place to bring that experience to life.”
Mitch Healey, director of retail and wholesale in North America at Gymshark, is equally excited about the new partnership.
“When we started to look for our first wholesale partner in North America, there were two things we knew we had to have in common – that they were an iconic brand and that they would be able to bring the authentic Gymshark experience to their community,” Healey said. “Dick’s Sporting Goods just leapt off the page. The spaces look incredible, and the community will immediately feel like they are in a Gymshark space the moment they see it. Working with the team there has been a pleasure, and we are so excited to bring the best gymwear to their amazing community.”
This comes nearly one month after Dick’s Sporting Goods opened the doors to its first House of Sport concept store in the New York City area.
Located inside the Newport Centre shopping mall in Jersey City, N.J., the 85,000-square-foot store is the retailer’s smallest House of Sport location, which are typically over 100,000-square-feet.
In August, the company reported net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 of $381 million, or $4.71 per share, compared with $362 million, or $4.37 per share, a year earlier.
Sales rose to $3.65 billion in Q2, up 5 percent from the $3.47 billion in the same period last year. Comparable-store sales were up 5 percent, beating estimates of 3.4 percent.
In September, Dick’s completed its $2.4 billion acquisition of Foot Locker. As a combined company, Dick’s now operates more than 3,200 stores plus e-commerce and digital businesses across 20 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, plus a licensed store presence in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
September also saw the debut of Gymshark’s footwear collaboration with British performance footwear brand R.A.D on two performance training sneaker styles.
