Hey fam! Welcome back to the vlog — this week was one for the books. I had the incredible opportunity to travel to the UK with none other than GYMSHARK! Yep, that’s right. It still feels surreal even typing that out. Whether you’re here for the fitness inspo, behind-the-scenes brand life, or just curious about what goes down when influencers fly out with major fitness brands — this weekly vlog has got you covered.
DAY 1: TOUCHDOWN IN LONDON
The week kicked off with a flight into London Heathrow. I was running on pure adrenaline and coffee, but nothing could dull my excitement. Gyms were on the itinerary, but first — hotel check-in. We stayed at this chic spot in Shoreditch, super urban vibes, exposed brick, neon signs, and the fluffiest hotel bed ever.
After a quick freshen-up, I met up with the Gymshark crew for a welcome dinner. Everyone was so warm and hyped — it was a room full of people who just get it. We talked content, fitness goals, favorite workouts, and of course, got our customized Gymshark kits for the week. Spoiler: the new releases are fire.
DAY 2: TRAINING CAMP DAY 1 – LIFT, SHOOT, REPEAT
We started bright and early at a local fitness center Gymshark partnered with for the week. Think top-tier equipment, high-energy playlists, and clean lighting — basically a content creator’s dream.
The day was packed with:
- A group HIIT session led by one of Gymshark’s athletes
- Brand storytelling workshops (how cool is it to hear the backstory of a brand you’ve worn for years?)
- Filming for upcoming campaigns (yes, I might be in an ad 👀)
My favorite part? The energy. Everyone in the room was passionate, goal-oriented, and lifting each other up — literally and metaphorically.
DAY 3: TOURING HQ & MEETING THE BRAINS BEHIND THE BRAND
We headed to Gymshark HQ in Solihull, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The space was next-level. Think: fully equipped in-house gym, creative studio spaces, collaborative zones, and the friendliest staff.
I had the chance to sit down with some of the brand’s key team members. We talked about the future of fitness, inclusivity in branding, and how Gymshark chooses ambassadors. It wasn’t just inspiring — it was affirming. Knowing that the brand really values authenticity made me appreciate them even more.
Oh, and the cafeteria? Five stars. Healthy options galore.
DAY 4: FREE DAY IN LONDON – EXPLORING + SELF-CARE
Gymshark gave us a free day to explore London and recharge. I took the tube to Notting Hill for brunch (avocado toast and a flat white, of course), wandered through Portobello Market, and popped into a few vintage shops.
I also made time for a quiet moment in Hyde Park. Traveling with a brand is exciting, but it’s important to balance it with moments of stillness. I journaled, meditated, and just let myself be present.
Later, a few of us hit up a hot yoga class near Soho — the perfect way to release tension from all the training. We followed that up with a casual dinner and mocktails. London has such a cool wellness scene, y’all.
DAY 5: FINAL WORKOUT + GOODBYES
Our last day was all about celebrating the week. We wrapped with a strength and mobility session led by another Gymshark coach, followed by a community Q&A event where we got to meet some local fans and followers. It was heartwarming and humbling.
I signed some merch, took selfies, and chatted with people who said they followed my journey from the start. Moments like that remind me why I do this. Fitness isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about connection, empowerment, and showing up as your authentic self.
WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEK
- Community is everything. Whether it’s online or IRL, the people you surround yourself with matter.
- Fitness has no single definition. We all move differently, and that’s beautiful.
- Never be afraid to take up space. Being with a brand that amplifies voices and stories made me realize how important visibility is.
- Self-care is key. Even in the busiest weeks, rest and reflection fuel the best version of you.
WHAT’S NEXT?
This trip lit a fire in me. I’ve got some exciting content coming soon — from fitness challenges and behind-the-scenes looks at Gymshark’s new collections to mindset chats and real-life updates.
If you’ve ever dreamed of working with your favorite brand, let this be your sign: keep showing up. Keep grinding. Stay authentic.
Thanks for coming along with me this week. Whether you’re chasing fitness goals, exploring new cities, or just looking for some motivation — I hope this vlog gave you a spark.
See you next week! 💪
Stay strong,
