Quick Answer
Yes — Alphalete is an American company.
It was founded and is headquartered in Houston, Texas, USA, by fitness entrepreneur Christian Guzman.
However, like most premium activewear brands, its manufacturing is international, mainly in Asia and Europe.
Where Alphalete Was Founded
- Founded in 2015 by Christian Guzman, a Texas-based influencer and YouTuber
- Started in Missouri City, just outside Houston
- The brand grew from YouTube followers to a global fitness movement
Alphalete’s growth story represents the modern American dream — starting small, scaling big, and inspiring community-driven success.
Alphalete’s Headquarters and Operations
Alphalete’s headquarters, called Alphalete Athletics HQ, is located in Stafford, Texas.
The campus includes:
- Corporate offices
- A massive Alphalete Gym (open to the public and influencers)
- A warehouse and fulfillment center for U.S. and global orders
Its home base gives the brand an authentic American identity, even though it operates internationally.
Is Alphalete Made in the USA?
Not entirely.
While Alphalete is an American-owned and designed brand, its production is outsourced to specialized factories overseas.
Common manufacturing regions include:
- China — technical fabrics and seamless knitwear
- Vietnam — compression and contour lines
- Turkey — premium performance blends
This model allows Alphalete to balance American design with global production efficiency — a strategy shared by brands like Lululemon and Alo Yoga.
