We Kept Showing Up (Together)
This year was full of moments that made us smile (and sometimes sweat). You rocked up for birthday hikes, tackled trolley dashes, got your hands dirty at terrarium-making classes, and flowed through yoga and pilates sessions like pros. You even played along with our April Fools’ fake coffee shop, still one of our favourite memories.
Whether it was on a mat, in a store, or mid-laugh over a coffee, these moments were all about hanging out, having fun, and reminding us why the G+C community is the best part of everything we do.
We Launched Things You Really Loved
One Small Sip for Man
This year we dropped our Hydrate Water Bottles, and… wow. You absolutely went nuts for them. Selling out once wasn’t enough, you cleared them out again. And again. Turns out staying hydrated, looking good, and carrying a bottle that actually lasts the day is a winning combo.
Knit Happens
2025 was also the year we ventured into brand-new territory with GPC Knitwear, our first-ever knitwear collection. Cosy, chique, and dangerously wearable, it quickly became a fan favourite.
Multiple restocks. Multiple sell-outs. One very clear message from you: more knitwear, please. Consider this our official note to self.
Big Milestones, Big Feelings
This year, we reached 300,000 orders in the UK.
Let that sink in for a second.
What started as a small Irish idea has grown into a brand worn, loved, and lived in by hundreds of thousands of people across the UK. That number represents early mornings, workouts, walks, coffees, commutes, and moments of connection.
It’s a milestone we don’t take lightly, and one we share with every single person who’s backed us along the way.
A Year of Change: Saying Goodbye, Saying Hello
This year also marked a meaningful shift behind the scenes.
After nine incredible years of building Gym+Coffee from the ground up, our founding trio - Niall, Diarmuid, and Karl made the decision to step back from the day-to-day running of the business.
It wasn’t a decision taken lightly. Gym+Coffee has been a rollercoaster in every sense: exhilarating highs, challenging lows, and moments that changed everything. But the business today is stronger, healthier, and more exciting than ever and that’s exactly why now feels like the right time for a new chapter.
With that chapter comes new leadership, welcoming Jason Crawford as CEO.
While roles may shift, the heart of Gym+Coffee stays the same.
More than anything, this moment is about gratitude.
To our team, our partners, our community - thank you for believing in an idea, backing a brand, and helping us build something people genuinely feel part of. That’s rare, and we’ll never take it for granted.
What’s Next?
As we close out the year, we’re taking a moment to pause, reflect, and say a massive thank you. To everyone who joined an event, shopped a launch, shared a coffee, or simply showed up, you’re the reason we do this.
And if you’re in the mood to treat yourself as the year wraps up? Our End-of-Year Sale is live from 25th December, with up to 50% off your favourites. Consider it our way of saying you’ve earned it.
Here’s to the year gone by and to what’s coming next.
More movement. More connection. More moments that make life richer.
We can’t wait to see what we’ll do together.
The Gym+Coffee Team 🖤
