The Founder, Creator of The Backpack, and CEO
Gavin Worrell
Hey, I’m Gavin Worrell, the founder and CEO of Locked In Athletics. Growing up as a gymnast, I was always on the go—training, competing, and living the athlete life. But one thing always bugged me: I could never find a bag that truly worked for me or my teammates. All of our bags lacked space, compartments, and the durability to handle the demands of a gymnast’s lifestyle. Everything would always get clustered, covered and chalk, and lost. Me and my old friend Kaleb Palacio (who is a gymnast at Springfeild now) always fantasied about creating the perfect gymnastics backpack.
So, I made it.
It all started with the idea of a perfect gymnastics backpack—a bag designed to meet the real needs of gymnasts. With customizable compartments, a removable grip bag, and enough durability to survive the chalk, sweat, and grind, it’s the bag I wish I had back in my gymnastics days.
Now, two years later, Locked In Athletics is more than just a brand—it’s a reflection of my passion for helping athletes perform their best. Whether it’s through our backpacks, shorts, or other gear, every product is designed with purpose and care.
Locked In Athletics isn’t just about making gear—it’s about creating solutions for athletes who deserve the best. I’m so glad you’re here to be part of this journey with me.

What The Boys Coach At Top Contenders Has to Say
"We reached out to Gavin from Locked IN about getting some bags and custom shirts and shorts for boys' Nationals! He communicates great and got us some awesome custom Locked IN gear very quickly, with out team logo on it, and they look great! The bags are perfect too. So much room for the kids to store their stuff and fit in their cubbies at the gym. So much cleaner! We appreciate it and will be ordering for the whole team again soon! Thanks Gavin!" - Boys Team Coach Billy West
Let customers speak for us
Great training shorts, my son love it and he said very confortable for gymnastics.
This backpack fits literally all of my essentials for practice and competition. The bottom part fits all extra clothes, shoes, and more while the top part fits both my grips, tape, and other items.
Amazing shirts and shorts. Quick delivery. Great service!
fits a lot of cool stuff got to be the best bag I've owned in a while convenient for everything
I’m not a gymnast but an avid runner n lifter and these have become my go to shorts for training and short distance runs. Very breathable, on the lighter side for a lined short, and have held up well with lots of training hours put on them. Highly recommend to not only gymnasts but anyone who wants high quality shorts for any purpose.
My son saw your shorts on IG and wanted to get them. I surprised him and they arrived yesterday. He was so happy and put them on right away and wore them
To gymnastics. He thinks they are the best shorts ever! We will be getting other colours at some point. Thanks!
Our son is a competitive gymnast and loves these shorts. He wear them to every practice and every day to school and we live in the cold Midwest.
The shorts where super comfortable and are definitely worth the price I’m so glad Jackson told me about this
They are light and really comfortable! I like the style and they are perfect for gymnastics!
