Gymshark Support: Chat, Email, No Phone (and What to Copy)

If your own inbox looks like a smaller version of Gymshark's, Relay is an AI support agent for Shopify. It answers, refunds and resolves tickets 24/7, following your rules.

How to contact Gymshark support

Gymshark's official contact page on support.gymshark.com lists two channels and says plainly that there is no third one.

• Chat, recommended by Gymshark: open 24/7. An AI agent answers first and may solve the issue right away. A team member steps in if you need more help. Use it for order questions, quick fixes and anything you want handled now.
• Email, support@gymshark.com: Gymshark aims to reply within 24 to 48 hours. Replies can take a little longer in busy periods. Use it for issues that need photos, screenshots or a longer explanation.
• Phone: not available. Gymshark says its support is "provided entirely online" and it doesn't operate a call centre.

The contact page says the chat widget is in the bottom right corner of that page.

Does Gymshark have a phone number for support?

No. Gymshark says that offering support through chat and email lets it help customers more efficiently and "ensure all conversations are properly tracked and resolved." If a third party site lists a "Gymshark customer service phone number", that is not an official channel.

Is Gymshark chat a human or an AI?

Both, in order. The AI agent takes the conversation first. If it can't solve the problem, you get connected to a member of the team. If the bot's answer doesn't fit your case, ask for a person.

Gymshark support help center: where to find your answer first

The Gymshark support hub at support.gymshark.com sorts its help articles into six categories:

• Orders & Delivery (8 articles)
• Returns & Refunds (4)
• Payments & Promotions (9)
• Technical (4)
• Product (9)
• General (6)

The three most popular articles are the ones most people need:

• Expected Delivery Date
• Where Is My Refund or Exchange?
• Delivery Information

Where is my Gymshark refund?

Gymshark asks customers to get in touch only after their country's full return timeframe has passed. Writing earlier won't speed anything up. Before you contact them, Gymshark suggests you check five things:

• Whether your country's return timeframe has actually passed.
• Your inbox and spam folder for a confirmation email.
• The original payment method, because refunds always go back to it.
• Any email saying your exchange has shipped.
• The courier tracking, to confirm your return was delivered.

Once a return is processed, the refund takes:

• Credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay: up to 3 to 5 working days.
• PayPal: up to 48 hours.
• Klarna: up to 7 working days.
• Clearpay / Afterpay: up to 48 hours.
• Gift card: credited back immediately.
• iDEAL / Mollie: within 14 days.

Exchanges ship with standard delivery, and you get an email when they go out.

What to prepare before you contact Gymshark support

Gymshark gives four tips for a faster answer:

• Open one conversation per issue. Gymshark says that contacting it through several channels about the same query can delay the answer.
• Include your order number and the email address you used to buy.
• Describe the issue clearly in one message.
• Attach screenshots or photos if an item is damaged or wrong.

Why some customers find Gymshark support slow

When we checked on 27 October 2026, Gymshark had a TrustScore of 3.5 out of 5 from 42,398 reviews on Trustpilot (73% five stars, 17% one star). The same day, Reviews.io showed 1.7 out of 5 from 205 reviews. On both sites, the complaints cover the same ground: returns and refunds, delivery problems, trouble reaching a person, and automated chat answers that customers didn't find helpful.

The same thing happens to any support team that only works online, whatever the brand, when three things come together:

• A bot that only quotes the policy. When an automated reply explains the refund rules but doesn't say what is happening with this order, the customer still waits. To them, that feels like no answer at all.
• A handover the customer has to fight for. "You'll be connected to a human if needed" only works if the handover starts on its own when it's needed.
• Peak periods. Gymshark itself warns that email can take longer in busy periods. Black Friday is when volume spikes and patience drops.

The Gymshark support model: what a Shopify store can copy

You don't need Gymshark's size to copy what works. Here is a decision grid for your own store.

• Publishes a clear "contact us only after X" rule for refunds. Copy it: yes. On Shopify: add one line to your return confirmation email, saying when the refund is due and when to write back.
• Lists refund time per payment method. Copy it: yes. On Shopify: a short table in your returns FAQ answers "where is my money" before anyone asks.
• Asks for order number, email and screenshots up front. Copy it: yes. On Shopify: put it in your contact form and auto reply.
• One conversation per issue. Copy it: yes. On Shopify: merge duplicates in your inbox so two people don't answer the same customer.
• States a response time for email. Copy it: yes, if you can keep it. On Shopify: only promise a time you also meet in peak weeks.
• AI answers first, human takes over. Copy it: yes, with one condition. On Shopify: the AI must read the real order data and act, not just quote the policy.
• No phone support. Copy it: depends. On Shopify: it works for most stores if written replies are fast and correct.

A concrete example: the "where is my refund" ticket

On day 6, a customer writes: "I sent my return last week, where's my refund?"

• A bot that replies: pastes the refund policy. The customer writes again on day 8, now angry.
• An agent that resolves: checks the order and sees the return was delivered to the warehouse but the refund hasn't gone out yet. It replies: "Your return arrived on Tuesday. Your refund goes back to your card once it's processed, then your bank takes up to 3 to 5 working days." If your rules say the refund should already have gone out, it issues the refund or passes the ticket to your team with the order details attached.

That second reply is what fixes the complaints above. For ready made wording, see our return request reply email templates and our guide to automating "where is my order" emails on Shopify, linked at the end of this article.

Relay is built to give that second reply. It understands the request, finds the order, applies your store's rules and acts (refund, discount code, cancellation, address change, depending on the permissions you give it). When a case falls outside your rules, it escalates to your team. Start the 14-day trial and test it on your own tickets.

Make handover automatic, not something customers beg for

Decide in advance which tickets always go to a human: chargebacks, damaged items above a set value, angry repeat contacts, and anything your rules don't cover. When a customer asks for a person, answer fast. Our guide on replying when a customer asks for a human agent has examples.

Plan the peak before it hits

Gymshark warns that email replies take longer in busy periods. Your store will hit the same wall in November. Plan your support staffing around your email send times with our note on Black Friday email timing and support staffing. To see what automation is really solving, track your AI ticket resolution rate, not just how many replies the bot sends.
