I love the idea of the community they created around the brand and their goals to Make Life Richer. The first time I bought some Gym+Coffee gear I was struck by the high quality of the clothing and I was delighted to see they were an Irish brand with a serious team behind their operation. As I looked into it more I started to understand their ambition and I’m delighted now to become part of the team that will hopefully bring the brand to a wider audience,” he said in a press release.
He first learned about the brand 18 months ago through some friends who were talking about it, so he decided to check it out.

In 2020, Gym+Coffee set their sights on international expansion and opened a store in Westfield, London. They hope to expand further retail ‘Clubhouses’ this year. Horan visited the London store on its opening weekend and automatically wanted to become a part of the team.
