ABOUT US
Rugged Spartans
In Warriors We Trust.
We are Rugged Spartans, a brand born from purpose, shaped by resilience, and anchored in legacy.
In 2024, at just 15 years old, Ledjar launched Rugged Spartans. His inspiration? A military upbringing rooted in discipline, sacrifice, and unshakable love. Raised by a U.S. Army Veteran, he understood that true strength isn’t loud, it’s lived.
His dream wasn’t just to sell apparel. It was to build a legacy strong enough to support his mother, build her a home, and provide for the woman who gave him everything.
He’s not building this alone.
Behind Rugged Spartans is a family of warriors. His mother, a proud Army Veteran, whose strength lies in quiet sacrifice. His sister, a 26-year-old single mom, is a fighter who faces life with fierce love and unbreakable loyalty. Together, they’ve built more than a brand; they’ve built a mission.
Every piece we create is more than fabric; it’s a symbol of fight, purpose, and grit. From our American Veteran graphic tee that salutes service, to our Love Legacy Loyalty tee that speaks to our values, we craft inspirational workout clothes for those who carry their battles with grace.
Whether you're powering through the gym or life’s toughest moments, our durable and comfortable gym wear is made to move with you. This isn’t about style alone. It’s about strength, shown in sweat, scars, and perseverance.
We stand for survivors, protectors, single parents, and every underdog out there. This is gear for real warriors, those who rise again, even when the world counts them out. And now, with our premium workout gear sale, we invite you to wear your story with pride.
This isn’t just a business.
This is family.
This is the purpose.
This is legacy.
Welcome to Rugged Spartans.
The Spirit Behind Rugged Spartans
Rugged Spartans didn’t begin with wealth, fame, or a carefully mapped-out business plan.
It started with a teenage boy, a military mom, and a sister who had every reason to quit, but never did.
In 2024, at just 15 years old, Ledjar made a decision: to create something real. A brand that stood for warriors, not just those in uniform, but the ones fighting quiet, daily battles. He watched his mother serve in the U.S. Army at just 17, and then return home to serve her family and community with equal strength and dedication. He saw his sister, a single mom, carry the weight of the world with nothing but love and grit.
He didn’t just want to create a clothing line.
He wanted to build a legacy.
With no business background and no safety net, he launched Rugged Spartans, a brand offering durable and comfortable gym wear made for those who live life with relentless purpose. His mission? To retire his mother. Build her a home. Honor her sacrifices. And he wasn’t doing it alone.
His mother brought the heart of a soldier and the soul of a protector to the mission. Disciplined. Loyal. Unshakable.
His sister brought humor, fierceness, and unbreakable spirit, raising her children while helping build a brand that now stands for something far greater than apparel.
Together, they poured their stories into every thread of Rugged Spartans. From our inspirational workout clothes to our Love Legacy Loyalty tee, everything we design is a tribute to real warriors, soldiers, and survivors alike.
This brand is for those battling grief, trauma, poverty, and illness. It’s for the American Veterans who served with honor. It’s for single moms, devoted fathers, and anyone rising again after life knocked them down. We are built for those who fight with quiet strength and wear their stories with pride.
Our premium workout gear isn’t about fashion. It’s about function, faith, and fierce resilience. And now, with our premium workout gear sale, we invite you to stand with us.
Rugged Spartans is our battle cry.
It’s our tribute.
It’s our truth.
For the tired, but still standing.
For the scarred, but still showing up.
For the overlooked, underestimated, and unbreakable.
We are proof that you can build something powerful from nothing when it's built on love, loyalty, and legacy.
Thank you for standing with Rugged Spartans.
In Warriors We Trust.

Nikki
U.S. Army Veteran, Licensed Therapist, Christian & Survivor
Nikki is no stranger to adversity. Her life isn’t defined by hardships, it’s defined by what she’s overcome. A proud U.S. Army Veteran and licensed therapist, Nikki has spent her life fighting, not just in uniform, but for her family, her community, and for every soul who’s ever felt broken or unseen.
But through every trial, Nikki has drawn her greatest strength from her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. As a Christian, her belief in God's plan and His mercy carried her through moments of helplessness and fear. It was her prayers, spoken through tears in emergency rooms and whispered in quiet moments alone, that gave her peace when the world around her felt like it was falling apart. Her faith isn’t just something she speaks of, it’s how she lives, loves, and leads.
Nikki now pours that same strength into her work as a licensed therapist, specializing in serving military veterans and first responders, people who, like her, know what it means to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. She believes in giving back to those who’ve given so much. Through every word, every session, and every act of service, she proves that healing is possible, and that failure is never an option.
As a co-founder of Rugged Spartans, Nikki brings more than just military discipline and clinical expertise, she brings the soul of a warrior, the heart of a mother, and the spirit of a woman rooted in faith. Her life is a living example of what it means to lead with honor, give selflessly, and never, ever quit.
