Built Different: The Legacy of Brenda Marie Gigi
The Legacy of Brenda Marie Gigi
Cheatcode Athletix was inspired by my late mother, Brenda Marie Gigi. She was unapologetically Built Different — fearless, bold, unstoppable. Every stitch carries her spirit and reminds us to embrace our power.
This brand is for you if you refuse to blend in.
It’s for the ones who stand out, who break the mold, who know they were put here to do more than just exist — they’re here to leave a mark. If you’re Built Different too, wear it proudly.
AS SEEN ON CHANNEL 4 NEWS
Buffalo, thank you for rocking with the Built Different movement.
Live on Channel 4 News — we opened the show — and we presented Stephanie McCants with a $2,000 donation to support her battle with breast cancer as part of our Pink Legacy mission.
Cheatcode Athletix is more than clothing — it’s community, purpose, and giving back.
This is just the beginning.
This Is Bigger Than a Brand
What you see here is family, community, and a message that reached beyond one person.
Built Different was created from real life — and now it’s worn by schools, teams, and people who believe in standing together and standing for something.
This is what impact looks like.
Built Different isn’t just a mindset — it’s my mother’s legacy.
Every thread carries her strength, her fire, and her belief that no matter what life throws at you — you keep pushing forward.
Rest in Heaven, Brenda Marie Gigi
