Joggers for Gyms, Ordered Properly
By The Velocity Wear Team
Wholesale joggers for a gym start at $22 a pair at our fifty-piece minimum, and those fifty can be split across sizes however you need. The fabric decision is the one that matters: brushed fleece for warmth and a soft hand, loopback for something lighter that dries faster. Gym kit is washed constantly, so that choice shows up within a month.
What does a gym jogger order actually cost?
The from-price is $22 a pair at fifty, and it falls as the quantity rises — the tiers run 50 to 99, 100 to 249, 250 to 499, 500 to 999 and 1,000 upwards, with up to 35% off the fifty-piece price at the top. The wholesale joggers page carries the current figure, and the gyms and fitness pages cover the rest of the kit that usually goes on the same order.
Most gyms get to fifty faster than they expect once they add staff, personal trainers and a member release together. What they cannot do is split those into two designs and still count them as one fifty — the minimum is per design.
Which fabric survives a gym wash cycle?
Brushed fleece has a raised inner face that feels warm and soft on day one. That raised surface is also what flattens and pills after repeated hot washes, so it suits joggers worn over kit rather than trained in. Loopback leaves the inner loops unbrushed: less initial softness, noticeably better recovery, and faster drying, which is why it tends to be the better choice for staff who wear the same pair four days a week.
The hem decision follows the same logic. A cuffed hem keeps its shape and stays off the floor; an open hem drapes and suits a looser fit, but it frays sooner in a room full of equipment. Our guide to custom joggers and sweatpants goes through the construction detail in more depth.
How do you split fifty pairs between staff and members?
If both groups get the same design, one run of fifty covers them and you simply allocate. If staff need something different — a role name down the leg, a different colour — that is a second design and a second fifty. The cleanest approach for most gyms is one design, one colourway, with staff distinguished by a top rather than by the joggers.
Weight the size split towards the middle. Members ordering for themselves skew larger than a staff rota does, and a gym selling to members should hold more M and L than the staff cupboard needs. Custom gym hoodies covers how member merch tends to move, and the same pattern holds for legwear.
What else should go on the same order?
Matching tops, usually. A hooded top and jogger sold as a set gives members a reason to buy both, and tracksuits start at $53 a set at the fifty-set minimum. Towels are the other common addition, since a gym is already buying them and a branded one sells at the desk.
Consolidating helps on delivery rather than on price, because the minimum and the tiers apply per design. What it does buy you is one lead time instead of three: production is 10 to 15 working days from artwork approval, and running everything on one approval date keeps the whole kit arriving together.
