14 Brands Like RawGear for Lifters and Bodybuilders
You go to reorder the joggers, and rawgear.com asks you for a password. Every link on the site lands on the same holding page, headed "Coming soon". The lifting apparel that Bradley Martyn built out of Los Angeles is still a company on paper, but you can't put anything in a basket today.
This list does the obvious job. Here are 14 gym brands that sell the same thing RawGear sold, all of them taking orders when we checked, with the currency named every time so you know what you're reading.
Quick comparison: the closest matches on bold graphics and physique-flattering cuts are YoungLA, Darc Sport and Ryderwear. For hard training gear over branding, look at NOBULL, Born Primitive and ASRV. The cheapest way in is Vanquish Fitness. The two you'll recognise from every gym floor are Gymshark and Under Armour.

Gymshark
Gymshark is the British gym apparel brand that turned smooth-knit gym sets into the default gym uniform, and it's the first place most people land after a smaller label goes quiet. The range runs from ribbed leggings and sports bras to men's training shorts, oversized tees and the Crest logo fleece.
What it shares with RawGear is scale of choice and a mid-range price. What it doesn't share is the graphic-heavy look. Gymshark's branding is a small logo on the hem, which suits you if you want the fit to do the talking. The site blocks automated price checks, so treat the tier as the guide and read the figure on the page.
Best for: smooth-knit sets and the widest size run on this list.
Alphalete
Alphalete is a Texas gym apparel brand built around fit, and it's the one lifters name when they want a step up from basics without paying premium money. The Amplify and Interlock ranges are the ones that get talked about, alongside oversized fleece and training shorts.
It sits at a similar mid-range price to RawGear and speaks to the same buyer, someone who trains hard and wants to look a certain way doing it. The difference is restraint. Alphalete's designs are cleaner and the logo work is quieter, so pieces carry over into ordinary clothes more easily. Its store sits behind a bot wall that refuses scripted access, so we couldn't read prices, only confirm it's trading. We've written more about it in our guide to gym brands like Alphalete.
Best for: people who care about fit above everything.
Born Primitive
Born Primitive is an American training brand that started with competition apparel and now makes its own footwear, which is a rarer thing than it sounds in this category. The line includes the Savage 1 training shoe, the Patriot 1 boot and the Tundra Jacket 2.0, plus the usual tops, shorts and swimwear.
The overlap with RawGear is a hard-training audience and a mid to premium price. Born Primitive goes further into equipment territory, so if your training involves conditioning work as well as hypertrophy, it covers more ground. US orders ship free over $150 USD. There's a fuller round-up of brands like Born Primitive if that's the direction you want.
Best for: lifters who want shoes and apparel from one place.
Darc Sport
Darc Sport is the Californian brand that comes closest to RawGear's actual look, all heavy graphics, limited runs and drop culture. It's run by Civil Clothing Inc. and prices in US dollars, with tees, hoodies, jackets, sweat shorts and headwear alongside licensed collections tied to Star Wars and Naruto.
The release model is the thing to understand before you buy. Darc Sport works in dated drops, not a standing catalogue, so a piece you like can be gone and not come back. That suits you if you enjoyed RawGear's restock cycle and it frustrates you if you wanted to reorder the same shorts for three years. Our Darc Sport alternatives guide goes deeper on the range.
Best for: graphic-led pieces you wear outside the gym.
NOBULL
NOBULL is a Boston brand that makes training shoes and plain apparel with almost no visible branding, and it now owns Public Rec, which it absorbed. Trainers, the Allday Knit range, lifters and accessories make up most of what it sells.
Price sits above RawGear, and the aesthetic is the opposite of it. There's no slogan and no chest print, just a wordmark. Buy here if what you liked about RawGear was the fabric weight and you're done with the graphics. Stock moves oddly on the apparel pages, with plenty of sold-out sizes showing at any time, so check your size before you plan an outfit around it.
Best for: plain, heavy kit that survives years of training.
Muscle Nation
Muscle Nation is an Australian gym apparel and supplement brand, and it's the strongest option on this list if you're shopping from Australia. Leggings run around $99.99 AUD, shipping within Australia is free over $130 AUD, and the site switches to USD, GBP, CAD, NZD and others if you're elsewhere.
It matches RawGear on audience and beats it on breadth, since the same checkout carries protein, bars and pre-workout next to the clothes. The apparel itself is closer to Gymshark than to RawGear, meaning fitted, logo-light and built around smooth knits. Read the currency selector before you judge the price, because the default follows your location, not the brand's home market.
Best for: Australian shoppers who want clothing and supplements in one order.
Ryderwear
Ryderwear is an Australian brand built for lifting specifically, and its D-Mak lifting shoe is the piece that made its name. The clothing side covers smooth-knit leggings, gym shorts, tanks and oversized tees, priced mid-range.
Of everything here, Ryderwear's design language is nearest to RawGear's. Bold logos, physique-flattering cuts, and marketing aimed squarely at people who compete or train like they might. If you want a raised-heel shoe for squats without moving to a specialist powerlifting label, this is the easiest place to get one. We've compared it against its own peers in our Ryderwear alternatives piece.
Best for: squat shoes and gym clothes from the same cart.
Echt
Echt is a Melbourne gym apparel label founded in 2014 by Jeremy Lay, and it ships to more than 50 countries from a US storefront that defaults to dollars. Men's stock covers shorts, tees, joggers, hoodies and zip-ups, with a women's range alongside it.
The clothes are cut to be worn after training as well as during it, which is where the RawGear comparison holds. Prices sit mid-range and US orders ship free over $99. One thing worth knowing before you plan a purchase, the men's collection currently shows 72 products in stock against 58 out of stock, so filter by your size before you browse the grid.
Best for: gym-to-street basics in one weight of fabric.
Vanquish Fitness
Vanquish Fitness is a London brand started in 2015 by school friends Oliver Maloney and Ruben O'Brien, and it's the cheapest route into this look. Men's pieces run from about £16 to £49.99 GBP, with most tees, tanks, hoodies and sweatpants landing between £20 and £40.
The design sits in the same streetwear-informed corner RawGear occupied, with bigger logo work than Gymshark and a lower price than almost everything else here. It's the sensible pick if you burn through gym tees and want four of them at a time. Prices are quoted in pounds, so factor in conversion and duty if you're ordering from outside the UK, which the site doesn't absorb for you.
Best for: buying several pieces at once without much thought.
Better Bodies
Better Bodies is the Swedish bodybuilding label sold by SFGroup, the same company behind GASP, and it's the most old-school brand on this list. The range covers tees, tanks, hoodies, joggers, shorts, sports bras and leggings, plus lifting belts, straps and gloves.
Where RawGear leaned modern and streetwear-adjacent, Better Bodies keeps the gym-floor look it has had for years, closer to a competition prep wardrobe than to something you'd wear to a bar. The accessories side is the real draw, since belts and straps sit in the same checkout as the clothes. If that direction appeals, our GASP alternatives guide covers the neighbouring brands.
Best for: bodybuilding kit and lifting accessories together.
ASRV
ASRV is a Californian sportswear brand with shops in Beverly Hills and San Diego, and it's the technical end of this list. Prices run from $28 USD for a bandana to $198 USD for a shell jacket, with most tops and bottoms between $68 and $158 USD.
The fabrics are the pitch. Ranges carry names like AeroSilver and Tech Essential, and the cuts are designed to work for running as well as lifting. You're paying more than you did at RawGear and getting a quieter, more engineered garment for it. Everything is numbered instead of named, which reads as cold at first and turns out to be the easiest catalogue here to reorder from.
Best for: training in heat, or lifting and running in the same kit.
Under Armour
Under Armour is the Baltimore sportswear company whose compression tops built the category, and it's here because it covers gaps the smaller brands leave. Men's, women's and kids' clothing, shoes, bags and sport-specific gear all sit under one checkout, with US orders shipping free over $99 USD.
It isn't a style match for RawGear and it doesn't try to be. The logo is a performance signal instead of a graphic, and the fit is cut for movement instead of the mirror. Buy here when you want a compression layer, a cheap training tee or a pair of trainers without hunting across four sites. Kids' graphics start at $15 USD in the outlet if you're shopping for someone else.
Best for: filling out the rest of a training wardrobe cheaply.
Hylete
Hylete is a California training brand known for shorts with zip pockets that hold a phone, which sounds small until you've lost a key mid-session. The catalogue is built on its HY-Blend fabric, and the Minimalist and Stacked Nation crew tees are the pieces it sells most of.
Design is restrained, so a Hylete short reads as plain next to a RawGear one. Prices sit mid-range. The thing to check is stock depth, because individual colourways go unavailable while the same style stays live in another shade, and the site keeps sold-out variants on the page. Pick the colour in stock, not the one in the first photo.
Best for: training shorts you can carry a phone in.
YoungLA
YoungLA is a Los Angeles clothing brand and the closest overall replacement for RawGear on this list, sharing the city, the audience and the drop-driven approach. Prices run from about $18 USD on sale pieces to $75 and up for jeans, covering tanks, shirts, shorts, pants, hoodies, joggers, leggings and bras.
The collaborations are what separate it. YoungLA has run collections with Attack on Titan, UFC and Batman, which lands it in the same graphic-forward space RawGear worked in. US orders ship free over $100 USD, and there are separate EU and UK sites plus a physical store. Our YoungLA alternatives guide has more if you want to compare it directly.
Best for: the closest thing to the RawGear wardrobe you already own.
Where to Start When the RawGear Basket Won't Load
Start with what you were about to rebuy. If it was joggers and graphic tees, YoungLA and Darc Sport are the direct swap, and Vanquish Fitness does the same look for less. If it was shorts and tanks you train in four times a week, Born Primitive, ASRV and Hylete build them to last longer, at a higher price.
Watch the currency. Muscle Nation quotes AUD, Vanquish Fitness quotes GBP, and several of these sites reprice themselves based on where you're sitting. The number on the page isn't the one you assume, so check the symbol before you check out. And if RawGear does come back, nothing here stops you shopping both. More of these round-ups sit in our brand guides.
