Our story

Our origins

Gymnasium’s roots go back to the 1960s, a period of strong growth for the Italian textile and apparel industry. The brand was born in the Emilia textile district, in the Mirandola and Carpi area, long known for its manufacturing culture and commercial know-how.

Originally linked to Maglificio Fontana S.p.A., Gymnasium developed as a practical and accessible brand, close to people and naturally connected to sport, the gym, leisure and everyday life.

Our DNA

Sport attitude. A natural connection with movement, the gym, leisure and an active everyday life.

Italian roots. A brand born from the Italian textile tradition and shaped by decades of product culture.

Comfort first. Soft fabrics, easy fits and wearable pieces designed for daily use.

Everyday lifestyle. Not only for sport: Gymnasium is for free time, home, the city and every casual moment.

Our wardrobe

Sweatshirts and hoodies, polo shirts, t-shirts, pants, shorts and easywear pieces for men and women. Cotton, French terry, piqué, jersey and seamless constructions shape a comfortable, simple and versatile wardrobe.
