Founder — Logan Holby

My name is Logan Holby. I'm 17, I live in Mundelein, Illinois, and LYFTED is mine.

The idea showed up in 8th grade and it just would never leave my mind, so I started it up. That's honestly the whole origin story. I love the gym, I'm a hard worker, and I love Jesus. I wanted gym clothes that said that without being loud about it.

What LYFTED actually is

Christian gym apparel, designed in Illinois. The black shorts are the flagship — 2-in-1 compression, $39.99, with Isaiah 41:10 on them. Fear not, for I am with you.

A few things I decided early and won't move on:

• Not dropshipped. Not pulled off Alibaba and relabeled.
• Small batch. I'd rather make fewer and have them be right.
• A real person behind it. That's me. If something's wrong with your order, you're talking to the guy who started it.

The dollar

A dollar from every sale goes to a local church. Not a marketing line — it's just how this works. If faith is going to be at the center of the brand, the money has to go there too, not just the verse on the shorts.

The other thing I build

I also founded Nexus Pen, where I design hardware — an AI-powered pen with a color display built into it. I did the circuit board, the firmware, and the app. It's a completely different world from apparel, but it comes from the same place: I'd rather build the thing than talk about building it. There's more about that side of what I do on my founder page there.

Why this page exists

Most brands this size hide who's behind them. I'd rather you know. You're not buying from a store — you're buying from a high school kid in Illinois who thought Christian gym wear could be better and decided to find out.

Spread faith and fitness.
