D2C Startups Case Report

GymX Activewear Scale Run

+340% Growth

Scaled to 5,000 units/mo

The Challenge

GymX faced high return rates (running inside a 30-40% industry average) due to sheerness (lack of squat-proof opacity) in bottoms and unresponsive 45-day turnaround times from their previous vendor.

The Solution

We migrated GymX to our catalog 300 GSM 4-Way Lycra Interlock fabric (tested to AATCC 135/150 for ±2% wash shrinkage and 95% stretch recovery) and established a 7–15 day replenishment sprint.

Sourcing Outcomes

Fit and sheerness-related returns dropped to 0%
Inventory replenishment lead time reduced by 66%
Successfully deployed 5 new seasonal style drops in 90 days

Fabric used:

Fitness Chains Case Report

Pulse Fitness Club Rollout

12 Locations

Staff uniforms for 150+ trainers

The Challenge

Pulse Fitness required sweat-wicking staff uniforms for 150+ trainers across 12 locations that could withstand 50+ industrial wash cycles without logo peeling or sizing drift.

The Solution

We sourced a high-tenacity 180 GSM Dry-Fit Polyester Interlock and used heat-sealed 3D silicone logo bonding tested against pilling (ISO 12945-2 Grade 4-5) and wash-loss.
