Just Say NO TO DRUGS AND OVERPLAYED DESIGN TEMPLATES
Keeping an independent gym open leaves no spare hours for chasing merch ideas. So we invest that time ourselves. In the Design Lab, our team develops complete concept brands and collections on our own dime, testing logos, colorways, garments and print techniques before a gym ever calls us.
Not to sound cheesy, but we think of design as a living creative machine that needs feeding with new ideas throughout the year. Like a music record in the making, some concepts take shape one to two years before we ever share them publicly. We're continuously building and refining new work — not recycling a library of ready-made designs
SEE FINISHED IDEAS BEFORE YOU SPEND A DOLLAR
Browse fully developed concepts before committing to an order. See what catches your eye, then we'll make it right for your gym.
FASTER TURNAROUND
The exploring is already done, so your project starts at refining, not guessing.
BIG-CHAIN QUALITY. INDEPENDENT-GYM BUDGET.
Get the same level of creative attention, apparel quality, and service you'd expect from a large gym chain with a six-figure merch budget — without needing one.
TESTED BEFORE IT SHIPS
We explore garment options, techniques, and artwork on our own time, so you're choosing from ideas we've already put real thought into.
MORE COLLECTIONS AND CONCEPTS FROM THE LAB
VIEW ALL CONCEPTSWay back in college, when people apparently still traveled by horse and buggy...
I spent an unreasonable amount of time designing fraternity T-shirts. I loved working out, too. At one point, I somehow managed 86 pushups in a row during a fraternity challenge. Unfortunately, that was probably the peak of my athletic career.
For my senior project, I pitched a business that combined a gym with a bar and social hangout, complete with its own "Wheysted" Protein Beer. The local experts laughed me out of the room. My professors weren't much more impressed with my obsession for T-shirt designs. So I did the sensible thing and spent the next decade bouncing between advertising agencies, largely ignoring both ideas.
Then one morning, a T-shirt idea scribbled on a scrap of paper, partially soaked in Miller Lite from the night before, started something I never saw coming.
With my entire life savings of $420 (pretty sure rent was due, too), a local banker willing to take a chance on me (thanks, James!), and printing equipment crammed into our apartment kitchen, UNITEE was born. We literally flooded our apartment printing shirts. We sold them out of backpacks at football games, flea markets, and wherever else someone would give us a shot. Eventually, my love for fitness led us into the functional fitness community, and things started coming full circle.
Along the way came Tanya, my wife, business partner, best friend, and much-needed voice of reason. Together, we've built a team that includes some incredible people who've been with us for years.
Today, UNITEE handles artwork, garment selection, screen printing, digital printing, and embroidery from our production facility in Lafayette, Louisiana. We work with gyms, dance studios, and groups across the country, helping them with everything from one-time events to their ongoing apparel needs.
AND HERE'S SOMETHING WE'VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY.
If you own a gym, you know running a business isn't all personal records and fist bumps. There are difficult months, decisions you'd love to have back, payroll to meet, and people counting on you. Some days, just getting everyone through the door feels like an accomplishment.
We've had our share of those days, too. We've made mistakes, figured things out the hard way, and kept showing up.
Maybe that's why we've always felt at home working with gym owners. We understand the work that goes on behind the scenes because we're living it ourselves.
And if we can make one part of running your business a little easier, even if it's just the shirts, we're doing our job.
NOT A GYM? WE DO THOSE TOO.
