FOR EVERY SPORT

We make what we sell

GymBeam is a European sports nutrition company that develops and manufactures its own products in Germany and Slovakia, and sells them directly through 18 local online stores across Europe. Owning the chain – formulation, production, logistics, e-shops – is what lets us verify quality batch by batch, and what our prices are built on.

Everything for every sport, and the evidence to back it

Most people who train don't want to research twelve brands to fill one basket. They want one place that has the protein, the creatine, the leggings and the kettlebell – and a straight answer about what's in each of them.

That is the company we are building. We develop and manufacture most of what we sell in our own facilities in Germany and Slovakia, we register our products with the competent authorities in the markets where we sell them, and we have our formulas tested by independent accredited laboratories. The whole range on one shop, and something to show for every product in it.

  • Everything in one basket.

    Sports nutrition, healthy foods, sportswear, accessories and cosmetics – so one routine doesn't need five checkouts.

  • Made by us, not just branded by us.

    Our own production in Germany and Slovakia means control over the batch, not only over the packaging.

  • Evidence, not adjectives.

    Independent accredited laboratories verify our formulas, and the results are available on the product page.

AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK ACROSS EUROPE

Where does GymBeam operate?

We deliver across the whole of Europe through 18 local online stores. We own our manufacturing in Germany and Slovakia, operate robotic fulfilment centres in Italy and Slovakia, and welcome customers in person at five Fitness Hubs across Central Europe.

FITNESS HUBS

Where you can meet us in person

We're not only online. Our Fitness Hubs in Vienna, Warsaw, Budapest, Prague and Košice carry the full range – supplements and apparel – so you can try a size on, get advice from staff who use the products themselves, or pick up an order in person. Each hub also hosts workshops, training sessions and community meet-ups.

SPEED YOU CAN FEEL

Fully robotic logistics

Behind every fast delivery is a robotic network. Our newest hub – a 15,300 m² AutoStore facility near Milan with 85 robots – cut average picking time to under 10 seconds and serves Western and Southern Europe.

During seasonal peaks we process over 24,000 orders in a single day without missing a beat – so your order arrives quickly and reliably.

THE FOUNDER

Dalibor Cicman

Dalibor Cicman, founder and CEO of GymBeam
Dalibor Cicman Founder & CEO

From a single e‑shop to a European leader

Dalibor has been building e-commerce since 2006. In 2014 he started GymBeam from a single online store – and stayed. Twelve years later he still runs it as CEO, now across 18 markets, own production sites and a catalogue of more than 14,000 products.

His background is in applied informatics and corporate finance, with doctoral research in business intelligence – which is why GymBeam was built on data and its own supply chain rather than on marketing spend.

“We didn't want to be just another brand selling protein. Our goal was to create a complete fitness ecosystem. For millions of people across Europe, GymBeam has become synonymous with everything needed for an active lifestyle.”
