Boutique Fitness Studio Austin, TX

Their Story

Pulse Fit started in a converted warehouse with two rowing machines and a dream. Founders Maya and Derek built a high-energy group fitness studio that blends cardio, strength, and mobility into 45-minute classes that sell out every morning. Within two years they had a waitlist for every time slot and members asking for branded gear to wear outside the studio. The problem was they had no way to offer merch without dumping thousands into inventory they might never move. When they found Bear Grips Pro Shops, they launched a full branded collection in one afternoon — no upfront costs, no guessing which sizes to order, no boxes of unsold stock gathering dust in the back office.

What They Sell

Here's what Pulse Fit offers through their Bear Grips Pro Shop:

Why Print on Demand

Before print on demand, Pulse Fit got a quote from a local screen printer — $2,400 minimum for 200 shirts in limited colors. They would have needed to guess sizes, pick one design, and hope it sold. With Bear Grips, they uploaded four different designs their first week, offered every size, and only paid when a member actually bought something. Zero risk meant they could experiment with seasonal drops and limited editions without losing sleep over unsold inventory.

Results

In their first three months, Pulse Fit moved 140+ pieces of branded apparel. Their members started posting gym selfies in Pulse Fit gear, which drove organic referrals. Two nearby studios asked where they got their merch program, and Maya signed both up through the affiliate program — earning recurring commissions on top of her merch profits.

In Their Words

“We went from zero merch to a full branded collection in one afternoon. Our members wear Pulse Fit gear everywhere — it's become our best marketing channel.” — Pulse Fit
