From Hobby to Hustle: The Evolution of M.U.S.T. Fit® Sports
Every successful venture starts with a spark — for M.U.S.T. Fit® Sports, it began as a hobby, a simple idea driven by passion for fitness, sportswear, and style. What started as a way to express creativity and share a love for sporty-casual fashion has grown into a full-fledged online business, all while balancing the demands of a full-time job.
Not one to sit still, I decided to put my thoughts on paper, sketching out what would become the foundation of M.U.S.T. Fit®. With invaluable guidance from my brother and exceptional logo design support from Mark, the brand began to take shape.
The real grind came with the hands-on work — countless hours spent on Printful, our product supplier, fine-tuning details; experimenting with Squarespace as our website host; and diving deep into social media to create thousands of posts showcasing the unique gear we offer. From hoodies and tees to tote bags, baseball caps, and windbreakers, every product has a story.
Of course, the journey wasn’t without hiccups: editing mistakes, updating information, learning the ropes of Shopify, managing TikTok Shop listings, and navigating the ever-changing world of social media. Every error became a lesson, and every lesson moved us closer to where we are today.
In just over two years since going live, we’ve achieved milestones we’re incredibly proud of — including reaching over 25,000 followers on TikTok with more than 60,000 likes, and, believe it or not, only one banned post (we’ll call that a badge of honour!).
Our commitment to quality has led us to forge incredible relationships with suppliers across the globe. Through Alibaba, we found partners who turned our ideas into reality, and we must give special thanks to Helen, who makes our best-selling DryFit Baseball Caps — simply the BEST!
Now, the vision is expanding beyond the internet. With our knowledge of the best cap, hoodie, tee, tracksuit, tote bag, and windbreaker suppliers, we’re setting our sights on launching M.U.S.T. Fit Boutique — our first physical retail outlet. The idea is simple: create a welcoming hub where everyone, whether a hardcore gym-goer or a lover of casual sporty style, can explore and shop our collections.
But that’s just the beginning. The boutique will also be a springboard into new product lines, including vitamins, proteins, and body oils under the M.U.S.T. Fit® brand — broadening our mission to help people look good, feel great, and move confidently.
What started as a hobby has become a thriving online store, and now, the future looks brighter than ever.
Stay tuned, join our journey, and keep moving with M.U.S.T. Fit® Sports.
