I Had This Idea in 8th Grade.
I Couldn’t Let It Go.
My name is Logan. I’m 17, I’m from Mundelein, Illinois, and I started LYFTED because I love the gym and I love Jesus — and I couldn’t find anything to wear that represented both.
The idea came to me in 8th grade. I don’t know how else to explain it — it just wouldn’t leave my head. So I started building it. I figured out sourcing, designed the shorts myself, picked the verse, chose every detail. Nobody handed me a playbook.
Isaiah 41:10 — “Fear not, for I am with you” — is the verse I come back to when I’m pushing through a hard set or just having a rough day. I wanted it on something I wear every day, not just in a Bible app.
A Brand With Meaning.
LYFTED isn’t just another clothing brand. I designed these shorts with intention — the fit, the compression liner, the cross placement, where Isaiah 41:10 goes on the leg. Every detail matters. This is a real brand with a real mission, not just a logo on some shorts.
The first batch was about 100 pairs. Small on purpose. I’d rather sell 100 pairs I’m proud of than 10,000 I rushed through.
$1 From Every Sale Goes to Willow Creek
Every single order donates $1 to Willow Creek Church in South Lake, Illinois. That’s not a marketing line. That’s just how this works. If we’re going to put faith at the center of this brand, we have to put our money there too.
What LYFTED Actually Means
Not lifted like a PR. Lifted up — by faith. The cross on these shorts isn’t decoration. It starts conversations. I’ve had people ask me about it mid-workout. That’s exactly what it’s supposed to do.
If you train hard and believe harder, these are for you. Wear them like you mean it.
