BH Live kitted out to boost active lifestyles

The team at BH Live centres across Bournemouth and Portsmouth is sporting a dynamic new look to reflect its mission to inspire more people to get more active.

Designed and manufactured by the UK’s fastest growing sportswear brand, Viper 10 Sportswear, the new uniform also bears the distinctive orange and black logo and colours of BH Live Active.

“Our BH Live Active portfolio and team is growing fast – with new centres, more activities and more people coming along to sessions every week,”

says Matt Goode, Head of Marketing and Communications for BH Live.

“We wanted a uniform to make our team look good, feel great and proud to be here. This is to inspire our customers and to show that when it comes to being more active, we really do mean business.”

Roger Woodall, CEO of Diamond Sporting Group and owner of Viper 10 adds,

“Viper 10 Sportswear is tried and tested by world-class athletes including England rugby legend Lewis Moody MBE, and international netballers Geva Mentor and Pamela Cookey. We are proud to be a British Performance Sportswear brand that is based in Bournemouth. We worked with BH Live to create the perfect blend of strong branding, technical and feel-good products.”

Matt concludes.

“We wanted an elite, hardworking product that would appeal to and fit well on men and women, and deliver the high performance functionality the team needed to cut through a demanding daily routine of classes, gym and swim sessions. Because Viper 10 already provides quality technical sportswear for more than 1,500 sports teams and international athletes, they understood exactly what we were looking for and created bespoke kit that looks and performs really well.”

BH Live’s own range of technical, lifestyle wear for customers will be launching in BH Live Active centres later this year.
