Vic started Muscle Republic in 2013 with no budget, no background in fashion, and nothing but a bag of samples from Bali and a belief that the brand could connect the world through the heartbeat of fitness. After nearly two decades in Sydney commercial and residential real estate, he walked away from a successful corporate career to build something that actually meant something, packing T-shirts by night while closing property deals by day. Today, Muscle Republic ships to over 50 countries every month, employs 50+ people, and carries over 650 products from a 3,500 square metre facility.
