Today, the name Sweatshop seems like an unfortunate choice as it instantly creates images of underpaid workers in a foreign land. In fact, Sweatshop was founded 1971 in Teddington. It was created by Chris Brasher who originally named it Chris Brasher’s Sporting Emporium. Chris was a dedicated runner and saw a gap in the market for running gear. Initially, he intended to create a store that sold everything sport-related. However, when he realized how popular and needed running gear was, he changed the name to Sweatshop. That was in 1978 and the company has continued to flourish for the last forty-plus years. In fact, it was voted best retailer by the U version of Runner’s World every year from 2008 to 2013.
The range offered by Sweatshop is split into women’s, men’s, and children’s. Inside each category, you’ll find an array of clothing options. Sweatshop offers base layers, shorts, t-shirts, jackets, vests, and an impressive array of running shoes. It doesn’t matter whether you male, female, or a child, you’ll find something that appeals. It should be noted that you’ll find their complete product range online. They don’t produce a traditional paper-based catalog. But, they do have regular sales catalogs. These are generally six to ten pages long and highlight the latest special offers and deals in-store. The company also has an impressive array of fitness equipment including mats, foam rollers, and GPS watches.
There are currently nearly twenty stores in the UK. These are in most of the major cities, ensuring there is one not too far from where you are. Each store is well laid out with friendly, knowledgeable staff. They will be happy to help you locate the right running gear. In fact, the staff can even help you assess your gait and tell you which shoes are best suited to your running style.
