Gym King allows returns within 30 days of purchase, provided items are in original packaging and meet specific conditions. Returns are not free: UK returns cost £3.49 per order, while international returns are at the customer's cost. Refunds are issued only to the original payment method.

How returns work

You can return items by accessing the UK Returns Portal or International Returns Portal (depending on location), entering your order number and postcode or email address, and generating a return label or QR code. Once you have sealed your parcel with the return label affixed, you may drop it off at an InPost Locker, local Post Office, or DPD Drop Off location. International customers may also return items by mail using self-postage or DHL Express at their own cost.

Exclusions and restrictions

Gym King does not accept returns on Final Sale items, men's swimwear, men's and women's underwear, all bottles, or gift cards. Women's swimwear may be returned only if the hygiene seal remains intact and has not been removed. Socks are returnable only if they remain sealed in original packaging. Gift cards themselves cannot be refunded, though items purchased with a gift card are refunded back to that gift card.

Refunds

Refunds are processed to your original payment method only. The refund process takes 7 to 14 days, plus an additional 5 working days. If you purchased an item with a gift card, your refund will be credited back to that gift card rather than another payment method.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to return an item to Gym King?

You have 30 days from purchase to return most items. Women's swimwear and socks follow the same 30-day window but must meet additional conditions: women's swimwear must have an intact hygiene seal that has not been removed, and socks must remain sealed in their original packaging.

Is return shipping free?

No. UK returns cost £3.49 per order. International returns are sent at the customer's cost, whether using self-postage or DHL Express.

Do I need a receipt to return items?

Gym King requires a tracking number for returns. Without tracking, the retailer cannot investigate your return. A receipt is not always required, but you must be able to provide proof of tracking.

Can I exchange items instead of returning them for a refund?

No. Gym King does not offer exchanges. If you need a different item, you must return the original item for a refund and then place a new order.

Which items cannot be returned?

Final Sale items, men's swimwear, men's and women's underwear, all bottles, and gift cards are non-returnable. These restrictions are typically based on hygiene or final sale designation.

When will I receive my refund?

Refunds take 7 to 14 days to process, plus an additional 5 working days. The total time before money appears in your account is typically 12 to 19 working days. Refunds go only to your original payment method.
