Training Programs
Team Apparel.

Apparel for gyms, strength programs, camps and clinics — and the members who want to wear it

Training programs run year-round and their gear does two jobs at once: it's what the coaches wear on the floor, and it's what members buy because they're proud of where they train. Strive-To-Be outfits strength-and-conditioning programs, athletic-performance gyms, youth sports camps, summer clinics and school weight rooms across Central Ohio, printed and embroidered in Delaware, Ohio — with an always-on member store so the merch sells itself.

What training programs actually order

• Coach and staff gear — performance tees, quarter-zips and hoodies in one color so the floor staff reads as a team. Embroidered left chest for the polos and outerwear; printed for the tees.
• Member tees and tanks — the shirt people train in and wear to the grocery store after. Soft cotton-poly or performance blends, one-color print, the logo big enough to read across a parking lot.
• Member hoodies and joggers — the item that sells in October. Heavyweight fleece, printed or embroidered.
• School weight-room gear — "Strength & Conditioning" tees for the athletes who lift year-round, often across every sport in the building.
• Camp and clinic tees — the dated shirt every camper gets. One design, one week's notice for the sizes, sorted by camper on delivery.
• Milestone and challenge shirts — the "1,000 lb club," the summer challenge finisher tee, the anniversary hoodie. Short-run full-color DTF so twelve shirts is a real order.

A sample training program package

What a gym or strength program typically launches with. Every package is quoted for your headcount and artwork — no public price list, and you'll always talk to a real person.

• Staff: 2 × performance tees, one-color chest print; 1 × quarter-zip, embroidered left chest
• Members (store): tee, tank, hoodie and hat in your colors, sized youth XS to adult 4XL
• Optional: dated camp tee; challenge or milestone shirt in a short DTF run

Timeline: whenever you're ready, then always on

Training programs don't have a season, so the deadline is yours. The first order takes about four weeks from artwork to delivery; after that, the member store stays open and reorders match the first run because the artwork is on file.

• Camps and clinics: send the design and rough headcount three weeks before the first day; final sizes one week out.
• School weight rooms: order in May for summer lifting or August for the school year.
• Seasonal merch drops: a hoodie in October, a tank in April. Two weeks of store, then delivery.

A member store: merch that sells itself

The gym that keeps a box of tees behind the desk is guessing sizes and eating the leftovers. A private online member store fixes it. You approve the items and the logo once; members open the link, pick their size, and pay online; we print, sort by name and deliver to the gym in one box. The store stays up all year — a new member in March buys the same tee as the one who joined in January. Run it as a straight store at your quoted pricing, or as a fundraiser for a cause the program backs, with $5 from every item — standard — going to it when the store closes. Launch a member store →

Why Ohio training programs print with Strive-To-Be

• Local. Delaware, Ohio — pickup available, problems fixed in person.
• Fabrics that survive the floor. We'll steer you to performance blends that wick and hold a print through daily washes, and away from the ones that don't.
• One contact. One email, one person, one answer — for the owner, the head coach or the camp director.
• Small runs are normal here. A dozen milestone shirts or a fifteen-camper clinic is a real order, not a favor.
