About Us

Nothing is clearer to us than the belief that every woman should include strength training in her life to enhance both physical and mental well-being. It's about building strong bodies and even stronger minds, asserting their right to take up space in the gym, and allowing the spotlight to shine bright on their progress.

To us, strength training represents a determined, goal-oriented mindset and an unwavering work ethic. We don't wait for success; we create it through hard work and determination. When faced with challenges, we don't back down; instead, we break through barriers, recognising that true progress lies on the other side.

These are the pillars that form the foundation of Oner Active. We consistently challenge ourselves to create innovative and impactful products, so that you can perform better. With our range of products and innovative approach, we provide a wide variety of colours to ensure that all skin tones genuinely radiate in Oner.

Our Purpose and Mission

We are on a mission to unite and empower women to be the strongest version of themselves through strength training. We want to inspire women to take centre stage in the gym by promoting strength training, which underpins all movement and sport, as a healthy foundation in life. 

About You 

As our Freelance Visual Merchandiser, you will play a critical role in shaping the visual identity of our first retail store. This is a strategic and hands-on role that will involve concept development, layout planning, fixture recommendations, and seasonal visual updates—ensuring our store communicates the brand’s DNA while driving customer engagement and sales.

• Providing recommendations on in-store flow and customer experience enhancements
• Supporting seasonal refreshes and product drops with updated visual strategies
• Ensuring visual consistency across all product categories and brand touchpoints
• Offering on-site support during store setup and launch phases (if local or travelable)
  

You'll need to have:

• 10+ years of visual merchandising experience in retail fashion or lifestyle brands; athleisure or activewear a strong plus
• Strong portfolio showcasing previous retail and display work
• Proficiency in spatial planning tools (SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, CAD, or similar)
• Strong sense of style, color theory, and brand storytelling
• Excellent project management and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaborate across creative and operations teams
• Flexibility to work in-person for key milestones (store walkthroughs, installation, etc.)
  

Nice to have:

• A genuine passion for fitness or active living, with a deep understanding of the performance-driven consumer
• A flair for premium brand expression and sensitivity to visual storytelling and in-store design
• A strong point of view on leading retail concepts and immersive in-store experiences
• An interest in cultural and design trends beyond retail—drawing inspiration from art, architecture, and global fashion hubs like Paris, Milan, New York, and London
