Greater than highs and lows or simply known as GTHL is a concept that was started in 2018 and it focuses on being beyond our problems and limitations. We believe that through a healthy lifestyle and a powerful mindset we can be unstoppable. As people we focus a lot of our energy on our lows and our losses rather than overcoming the adversity. GTHL hopes to inspire others just like they inspire us to create the best possible athletic apparel.
GTHL is a local brand from the suburbs of Chicago that has not forgotten where we came from, we pride ourselves in where we started. This can be seen through our motivated team. We make clothing for the everyday person, whether you are hitting the gym or out and about. Through our apparel our team hopes to inspire everyone to live healthy lives, both mentally and physically. We believe what you wear is how you feel; this is why we produce high quality products that inspire to develop an active way of living. We support JDRF, a non-profit organization by donating 10 percent of our net profits to help create a better life for those facing hardships.
OWNER AND CREATOR
Although GTHL was only created in 2018 and launched in 2019, it has been an idea for much longer than that. Our owner has lived with type one diabetes since the age of three, this is what has inspired him now as an adult to live a healthy lifestyle. Throughout the years he has discovered a love for expression through clothing, this is how GTHL was created. In 2018 our founder, Roman went to his home country of Ukraine and here is where he hit a turning point in creating this brand
“A couple months before my trip to Ukraine, I had thought of the idea of starting my own clothing brand. When I arrived I was stricken with a sea of memories, most of which were very pleasant. On the last night of this trip I found myself getting sick and once I was in the hospital I was hit with nostalgia, I had spent a large amount of my childhood in the hospital and being back many years later I couldn’t help but feel a slight sadness. Here surrounded by others who were just as sick as I was, if not much more is where I found the driving force to really start my brand. I wanted to help others live a healthy and enjoyable life through being active, my biggest wish was to give back and now here we are.”
-Roman, Owner and Creator of GTHL. 2019
We hope to continue creating more and to inspire those who inspired us. We appreciate all of those who support this brand and hope you share our message with others.
