I’ve shopped Gymshark Black Friday sale every year for 5 years: here's what’s worth buying (and what I always skip)
I first started shopping Gymshark as a treat in lockdown after I took part in the brands 66 days challenge, I bought a bright yellow two-piece set and haven't looked back.
That two-piece might be a little faded now after too many washes, but my bright pink seamless leggings and my favourite burgundy sports bra still come with me to the gym time and time again.
Every year I always wait for the Gymshark Black Friday sale when I need to re-up on my matching sets and sports bras because the 50 per cent off everything discounts is too good to miss. Best tip I've found over the past five years of shopping the sale, always have your wishlist ready to go on the app, that way you've got your sizes selected and don't risk missing out because the best bits go fast.

What I buy every single year
Gymshark, high support v-neck impact sports bra, £50, will be £25
Top of my list every year is a sports bras. Gymshark has different impact levels, low, medium and high support which is really useful for those with bigger busts because I cannot squeeze into the cute (but sadly too tiny) bra tops that have low support. Specifically I look out for the high impact bra with the adjustable clasp and straps, this year I have my eye on the espresso brown because I already have black, white and burgundy that have lasted me around 5-6 years.

Gymshark, high coverage high support sports bra in pink, £38 will be £19
Another sports bra, this time it’s the high coverage style. These lend themselves more to a crop top which works perfectly for me in the warmer months when I’m not looking for an extra layer. This still provides support for high impact sports and looks cute enough for hot yoga.
Crew socks, 6-pack £24 will be £12
Socks may sound boring, but I bought a four-pack of Gymshark socks in 2021 and they’ve only just started to wear down at the heel. That is an impressive amount of time considering I train at the gym at the least three times a week and at the most six times a week, that’s hundreds of washing machine cycles. This year I need to re-up so will be looking out for a discount.
Gymshark Everyday Seamless leggings, £35 will be £17.50
Call yourself a Gymshark fan and you don’t own a pair of leggings? The best time to stock up on your favourite colours is in the Black Friday sale in my opinion. I’ve had various iterations over the years and much prefer seamless over the regular style. The black sell out the fastest every year, so it’s a game of quickest finger first.
Gymshark Vital Regular Leggings, £45 will be £22.50
The high waist style leggings not to mention the thick waistband that sucks you in right and tight are second to none in my opinion. The only gripe I ever have is that the seams rub together and can fray, they’re a repeat buy though after I’ve stitched them up as much as they can handle. I have brown, camouflage, black, red, pink and blue, so more colours will be added to my collection.
Gymshark SoftSense Shorts, impact red, £40 will be £20
There was a time when I was too nervous to wear short shorts, but then I realised they made me feel good and if Meghan Thee Stallion says we should wear Gymshark SoftSense then who am I to argue. I’m on the lookout for the Impact Red colour because why shy away from a bold design.
Gymshark Mens Power t-shirt oversized, £30 will be £15
The baggier the better when it comes to training tees. This year I’m swapping my long sleeve seamless top and heading over to the men’s section for a super baggy tee. I have my eye on the Power T-shirt because I don’t have a boyfriend to steal it from and I want it to be extra, extra oversized.
What I never buy in the sale
I’m sorry to be a scrunch-bum leggings hater, but I will never buy a pair. I fear big disappointment that my behind doesn’t look like the model on the site, so I think it’s best to go for a well fitting pair of leggings that lift me up rather than feel like I need to position them correctly after every squat.
As I already mentioned, the minimal sports bras are just not for me, there’s not enough material to keep me supported when working out. I’m also not a member of the iddy biddy titty committee, so go off they’re for you.
How I shop the sale
- Build a wishlist or saved basket beforehand in the Gymshark app - the brand often gives first access to subscribers.
- Know your sizes, because popular items go first - I always go large and I am a size 12.
- Check student and other discount stacking - last year Gymshark confirmed that student, military and Blue Light discounts could be stacked on top of Black Friday offers.
- Check the returns window, since extended returns applied last year.
- Compare to the pre-sale price so you know it’s a real saving.
