Direct-to-consumer calisthenics equipment and apparel brand
GORNATION is a D2C fitness brand selling calisthenics equipment and clothing through Shopify, operating lean (2–10 employees) with a marketing-heavy org structure. The company is actively tackling conversion rate optimization and page-speed issues while scaling content production across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube—a typical e-commerce pain stack, but the repeated CRO and speed-optimization focus across projects and pain points suggests meaningful friction in their sales funnel.
GORNATION manufactures and sells calisthenics equipment and apparel to street-workout enthusiasts, founded in 2015 and based in Münster, Germany. The business operates as a direct-to-consumer model via Shopify, supported by a small team focused on marketing, operations, and customer support. The company is actively launching new products, testing messaging and creative formats, and pushing content across social channels (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) to drive awareness and sales.
Shopify for e-commerce, Google Tag Manager for analytics, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro) for content, plus social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest) for distribution.
Münster, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Founded 2015.
