Superfit Hero is an American activewear brand unlike any other.
Founded in 2015 by Micki Krimmel, the brand emerged from her experience as a competitive roller derby player and athlete. Her sports activities and experiences re-shaped her attitude towards her own body to a point where she wanted to help others feel the same. The answer for her came in the shape of launching a “body-positive, size-inclusive fitness brand with a mission to empower women.” After crowdfunding the brand’s launch, and armed with a few years’ worth of customer data and strong community feedback, Micki pivoted to offer exclusively activewear to plus sizes L to 7XL.
“I created Superfit Hero to exist as an alternative, a fitness brand that celebrates bodies as they are, not as they ‘should be,” said Krimmel in a statement.
