THE EVOLUTION OF iGD SPORT

COMPRESSION WEAR BECOMES THE HERO
Using tight fabric around the muscles groups to aid recovery, compression wear became the hero product to help with that next day ache – Delayed Onset Muscles Soreness, or DOMS.
These products were picked up by professional athletes, and iGD Sport became the sportswear brand for some of the greatest athletes in the world. Product was supplied to the likes of Tyson Fury, Josh Warrington, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Jorge Linares, Kid Galahad and the Vargas family to name a few.
TECHNICAL SPORTSWEAR BECOMES ACCESSIBLE AND FASHIONABLE
A chance meeting with Leeds-born actress Zeriozha Annika - who's starred in TV series Waterloo Road, Coronation Street and Emmerdale - introduced the keen gym-goer to the brand before heading on a family trip to Dubai.
The mum of four soon became a huge fan of the compression set and the other products in the range. Juggling motherhood and running a brand, Zeri trains most days and found these products to be the best on the market. She invested in the brand, and became the Brand Manager in November 2021.
