It started with a dream . . .


WORK founders Dane and Kara Miklaus had a combined 18 years of experience in fitness at gyms, studios, and therapy clinics before venturing out on their own. While the overall value-proposition of the personal fitness industry is one of service, the couple felt that in all their experience with other companies one glaring thing was always missing: the personal part. 

All too often, gyms and studios treat their clientele like mere data points. It's as if, instead of having hearts and souls, every body in the building is looked at as a walking dollar sign. Dane and Kara wanted to change that. With a mission to improve the world through physical exercise and nutrition coaching, the couple set out to do so in the setting of a positive and uplifting community environment. On August 24th, 2015, WORK was born. 

Fast-forward to today. Years later and the mission hasn't changed. We know that when people are at their best, the world is truly a better place. So TeamWORK strives every day to help everyone feel loved, welcomed, and like badass athletes! WORK Merch is an extension of that.

When you look good, you feel good. WORK Merch hopes the apparel, merchandise, equipment and accessories here do just that for you: make you feel good. The products in this store are carefully selected to be of a superior quality and craftsmanship. We listen to customer feedback, update designs consistently, and source products from suppliers that are certified to uphold fair and equitable labor practices. Most of the items are manufactured and assembled in the United States. In order to operate in the most environmentally friendly and lowest carbon-impactful way, we operate with a made-to-order model.
