About Us
Pursue Fitness was founded in 2013 by our CEO Michael Hughes when he was 18, in Bolton, United Kingdom.
ㅤ
Whilst out with lifelong friends, Michael proposed the idea of starting a sportswear brand, he knew the name straight away. Within a few months, he saved £300 from his part-time job at Nando's, then a sample-sized order was placed with a supplier for 4 different products.
ㅤ
Products were designed by him, orders were packed by him, queries were answered by him and the brand was grown by him.
ㅤ
Since then, Pursue Fitness has shipped orders to over 160 countries and released more than 2,000 products.

The Idea
"Never give up."
ㅤ
Our niche is a name, brand and idea that makes sense - to everybody.
ㅤ
Whether you run, walk, train or play sports. We've got you covered. We strive to develop collections based on what you need, both physically and mentally.
