Custom Printed Hoodies — Premium Gym Merch That Sells Itself

Why Custom Hoodies Are a Gym’s Best Merch Investment

If you run a gym, fitness studio, or PT brand and you are only going to produce one piece of merchandise, make it a hoodie. Custom printed hoodies consistently outperform every other merchandise category for gyms in terms of sales volume, profit margin, and brand visibility. There is a reason every successful gym brand has a signature hoodie — it works.

Members wear hoodies everywhere. To the gym, after the gym, to the shops, to brunch, on the couch, on holiday. A premium custom hoodie with a great print becomes a wardrobe favourite — and every time your member throws it on, your brand gets seen.

FITPRINT produces custom printed hoodies specifically for the gym and fitness market. Premium fleece blanks, vibrant DTF prints, and the attention to quality that active communities expect.

Our Custom Hoodie Range

• Heavyweight pullover hoodies — Dense, warm fleece at 350gsm+, brushed interior, kangaroo pocket, adjustable drawstring hood, and ribbed cuffs. The hoodie your members will live in.
• Midweight hoodies — 280–320gsm for transitional weather and layering. Substantial enough to feel premium with a softer drape. Popular for year-round gym merchandise.
• Zip-up hoodies — Easy to throw on and off, practical for warm-ups, available in heavyweight and midweight options.
• Oversized & boxy hoodies — Dropped shoulders, extended body, relaxed fit. The streetwear-meets-gym aesthetic that younger demographics love.

Printing on Hoodies — What You Need to Know

Print Placement Options

Custom hoodies offer multiple print zones, and many of our clients take advantage of multi-placement printing to create standout merchandise:

• Front chest — Your logo, wordmark, or small graphic. The most common single-placement option.
• Full back — The hero print zone. Large graphic designs, detailed artwork, and statement pieces look their best on a full back print.
• Sleeves — Sleeve prints add a premium, considered detail. Text, logos, or graphic elements running down the sleeve create visual interest from every angle.
• Hood — A printed hood interior or exterior adds a distinctive touch that is visible when the hood is down.
• Pocket — Kangaroo pocket prints work well for subtle branding or secondary design elements.

DTF on Fleece — A Perfect Match

DTF printing bonds particularly well with the cotton-rich fleece fabrics used in premium hoodies. The adhesive layer penetrates the fleece surface fibres to create a strong, durable bond that resists peeling and cracking. The print itself maintains a soft hand feel — there is no stiff, heavy plastisol patch sitting on top of the fabric.

The result is a printed hoodie that feels like a printed hoodie should feel — soft, comfortable, and natural.

Colour and Detail

DTF reproduces your design with exceptional colour accuracy and fine detail. Gradients, photographic elements, small text, and complex graphics all print cleanly and vibrantly. Whether your design is a simple one-colour wordmark or a full-colour illustrated graphic, the output will be sharp and true to your artwork.

Popular Hoodie Design Ideas for Gyms

• Minimal wordmark — Your gym name in a clean, bold typeface on the chest, with a larger version on the back
• Graphic back print — An illustrated or graphic design covering the full back, with a small logo on the front
• Sleeve details — Coordinates, phone number, motivational text, or your gym suburb running down the sleeve
• Drop collections — Limited-edition seasonal designs that create urgency and collectability
• Competition hoodies — Event-specific hoodies for throwdowns, challenges, and milestones
