In a bid to increase wellness in the workplace and create more active and healthy communities, BH Live has partnered with corporate fitness expert, Gympass.
Gympass works with companies, such as Tesco, Santander, and International Workforce Group (IWG), to revolutionise how employees engage with physical activity, driving lasting behavioural change. The Gympass team works with HR departments to motivate inactive employees to find activities they love.
Committed to defeating inactivity, Gympass offers access to a range of activities such as gym sessions, swimming, and group exercise which are supported by the employer, thus reducing the barriers to entry for employees. As a result, more people can achieve the benefits of increased productivity and higher engagement.
This collaboration is a testament to BH Live’s strategy and commitment to engaging with those who are currently inactive.
“Having a healthy and productive workforce is great for employees and businesses alike,”
says Matthew Goode, Director at BH Live.
“Our partnership with Gympass directly supports BH Live’s mission to get more people active and delivers economic benefit to the region.”
Director of Partnerships at Gympass UK, Eamon Lloyd adds,
“We are really excited to be working with BH Live so that our Gympass users can benefit from their excellent facilities. As a result, we know that BH Live will see an increased number of corporate users enjoying their facilities. It is really important for us to align with businesses like BH Live who show their commitment to getting more inactive people to exercise.”
