Turn Gymnastics Apparel

What Turn Gymnastics Apparel does

Turn Gymnastics Apparel is a private, Berkeley, California-based apparel company founded in 2011 that designs and sells men's gymnastics clothing, uniforms, equipment, and accessories. It operates as the only U.S. brand exclusively dedicated to men's gymnastics, offering a comprehensive catalog that includes competition singlets (one-piece unitards), competition shorts and pants, training apparel, warm-ups, grips, wrist supports, trampoline shoes, and accessories across senior and junior size ranges. The product line spans base SKUs, custom teamwear via the myTURN online kit builder, and athlete collaborations including the Frederick Flips line (with Frederick Richard) and the Ruben Padilla Collection (with the 3-time World Champion), plus a sister-brand relationship with OZONE Leos covering women's gymnastics.

The company runs a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model on a Shopify storefront with free domestic shipping over $100, a 30-day return window on stock items, and a loaner fit-kit program to reduce sizing risk. B2B revenue is generated through custom sublimated team orders processed via a dedicated custom kit builder and team order workflow for clubs and collegiate programs. Athlete collaborations and event sponsorships (PODNASTICS+ Men's College Finals, NCAA/GYMACT competitions) form a community-led go-to-market motion, supplemented by organic social, email, and content marketing through a brand blog.

Revenue mechanics are unit-based with one-time purchases: singlets priced $36-$62, competition shorts/pants $33-$50, custom teamwear $42-$96, and collaboration and accessory items in the $4-$56 range. There is no disclosed recurring subscription model, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and headcount sits at 1-10 employees, indicating a small, founder-led operation. International reach is enabled through a distributor network referenced from the storefront, with primary markets being the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Champion Sports: Athletic apparel and sporting goods retailer selling team uniforms and competition gear. Overlaps with TURN at the team-uniform and basic athletic apparel level, particularly for gymnastics clubs seeking off-the-rack alternatives to custom orders.
• Holloway Sportswear: Team sports apparel and outerwear manufacturer serving schools, clubs, and teams. Comparable B2B custom teamwear motion (custom sublimated uniforms) and partial overlap on competition pants/shorts, though serving a much broader range of sports.

Broad incumbents

• GK Elite Sports: Largest gymnastics apparel manufacturer in the US and the dominant leotard brand. Comparable in category (competition gymnastics apparel) but vastly broader in scale; offers women's and limited men's gear through custom and retail channels, competing most directly with TURN at the team/club order level.
• Nike: Global athletic apparel leader. Potential encroachment threat into men's gymnastics apparel given its existing men's training categories and athlete sponsorship playbook—not a current direct competitor but a structural risk to any niche athletic apparel brand.
• Under Armour: Global athletic apparel incumbent with broad men's training and competition lines. While not gymnastics-specific, UA competes for the same athlete apparel wallet and has the athlete endorsement and distribution scale to enter the gymnastics niche if category economics justify it.
• Adidas: Global athletic apparel competitor with strong gymnastics heritage (notably women's). Comparable in men's training apparel and competition kits, with the brand recognition and capital to expand into men's gymnastics apparel if market conditions favor entry.

Direct peers

• Destira: US-based gymnastics apparel brand focused on competition leotards with custom team orders. Most comparable to TURN's myTURN B2B custom kit builder motion, though primarily serving the women's/girls' segment—positioning Destira as a cross-gender competitor at the institutional buyer level.
• Alpha Factor: US gymnastics apparel brand selling competition leotards, shorts, and warm-ups with custom sublimation. Direct overlap with TURN's product catalog (competition shorts, pants, warm-ups) and B2B team kit builder model.
• Euroteam: European gymnastics apparel specialist offering competition leotards and team kits. Comparable to TURN in its sport-specific specialization and custom team order capability, though primarily serving European clubs rather than the North American NCAA market.
• OZone Gymnastics: Sister brand under the same parent company covering women's and girls' gymnastics leotards. Directly comparable product category (gymnastics apparel) and shared go-to-market model, but addresses the opposite gender segment—essentially the mirror SKU set to TURN.
