My name is Chawla, and I am the proud founder of this business. AKRA Apparel was born out of my love for the gym and fashion, as well as my desire to provide other fitness enthusiasts with clothing that they could feel comfortable and confident in.
My fitness journey began when my childhood friend invited me to join him in the gym. I quickly became fixated, enjoying the progress that came with it, as well as seeing and feeling the improvement week by week. After a few years I found my niche in ‘’strongman’’; the challenge, novelty and variety spoke to me. It then became my passion, helping me with both my physical and mental health. I understand everyone is on a different journey and has different fitness goals, and that’s what AKRA stands for.
AKRA Apparel is an Irish-based fitness and loungewear clothing brand with a focus on fit, comfort, and quality. At AKRA we believe in making clothes that make you look and feel your best. We put our emphasis on comfort and quality, to make sure every piece of clothing is comfortable and well fitted.
AKRA comes from the Greek word for ‘’peak’’. We chose this as our main core ethos, as we believe everyone should become their best selves. No matter what stage of your fitness journey you find yourself in, AKRA is there for you. When wearing our clothes, we want you to feel confident and empowered, regardless if you’re at the gym, going for a run or walking your dog.
