Gymshark is partnering with Bratz on a limited-edition activewear collection, marking a crossover between performance fitness wear and a well-known pop culture franchise. The collection, titled Gymshark x Bratz, is set to launch on June 8.
The range includes sports bras, crop tops, leggings and shorts, developed using Gymshark’s seamless construction and fitted silhouettes. Designs incorporate brighter color palettes and graphic elements associated with the Bratz brand, positioning the capsule within a more expressive segment of the activewear market.

The collaboration reflects a broader shift in women’s fitness apparel, where performance and personal style are increasingly positioned as complementary rather than separate. According to data cited by Gymshark, a majority of women say their clothing influences how they feel during workouts, a factor that continues to shape product development and marketing strategies across the category.

“Bratz believes that confidence, individuality and style can all exist together. Whether she’s in the gym, creating her own style, supporting her friends, or chasing her goals, today’s generation deserves to see that strength isn’t about fitting into one definition; it’s about owning who you are without compromise. That’s why this partnership with Gymshark feels so natural,” Jasmin Larian Hekmat, president and creative director of Bratz, told WWD. “Together, we’re celebrating a new generation of girls who move through the world boldly, express themselves unapologetically, and redefine what confidence looks like on their own terms. As we celebrate 25 years of Bratz, we’re proud to champion the girls who show up, trust their instincts, and inspire others simply by being fully, authentically themselves.”
To support the launch, Gymshark will roll out a series of activations, including a pop-up gym experience in Miami. The space is designed around survey insights on women’s preferences in fitness environments, such as improved lighting, greater privacy and a stronger sense of community.
“This collab is a love letter to every girl who had a Bratz doll growing up. Culturally, Bratz marked something important — it was the first doll that was feminine, but also a bit rebellious, unapologetic, and unafraid to take up space. With so many women feeling pressured to downplay their femininity just to be taken seriously at the gym, and we wanted to create something that encourages them to show up as themselves,” Hannah Hastings, head of brand at Gymshark, said.
The Gymshark x Bratz release adds to a growing number of brand collaborations aimed at blending fitness, fashion and entertainment, as activewear companies look to expand their cultural relevance beyond the gym.
