Bear Grips Pro ShopsCompany and Campus Gym Swag: An Alternative to Buying Lululemon
- Corporate wellness programs and campus recreation centers both commonly buy lifestyle brand gear at full retail as a gift or incentive.
- A private label line lets the same company or campus gym print its own branded gear instead, at a lower base cost and full control of the design.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops covers quarter-zips, polos, tees, and hoodies fit for a corporate wellness kit or campus gym gift shop.
- No minimum order means a single wellness event or a small campus gym can order exactly the quantity needed.
Corporate wellness teams and campus recreation centers both search for lifestyle brand gear as a gift or incentive item, corporate swag, a wellness challenge prize, a campus gym gift shop item. Buying that gear at retail means paying full lifestyle brand markup for something that could just as easily carry the company's or campus gym's own name at a lower base cost, with the exact quantity needed and no leftover inventory risk.
Why lifestyle brand gear gets bought as swag
Lifestyle brand apparel reads as a premium gift because of the name, not because a company wellness program or campus gym designed it. That is exactly the gap a private label closes: the same premium apparel category (a quarter-zip, a hoodie, a tee) printed with the company's own wellness program name or the campus recreation center's own logo instead.
A corporate wellness or campus gym starter kit
- Men's Performance Quarter-Zip Pullover ($29.88 VIP base): the classic office-to-gym piece.
- Men's Performance Polo Shirt ($34.88): for a company wellness or campus gym staff kit.
- Airlume Cotton Tee ($19.88): the wellness-challenge or event giveaway tee.
- Comfort Soft Hoodie ($36.88): the higher-value gift-tier item.

A note on college and university apparel
A campus recreation center or intramural program building its own branded line should use its own program name and logo (a recreation center wordmark or an intramural league mark), not an officially licensed university team logo, which requires separate licensing outside of this platform. The apparel categories and pricing above apply the same way to a recreation center's own brand.
Ordering for a wellness event or campus gym
Sign up at shops.beargrips.com, upload the wellness program or recreation center logo, and order exactly the pieces needed for the event or gym shop. See the revenue math guide if the gear will be sold rather than given away.

Can I order a small batch for a single wellness event?
Yes. There is no minimum order, so a company can order exactly the number of pieces needed for one event.
Does this work for a licensed university team logo?
Officially licensed team and university trademarks require separate licensing arrangements. A recreation center or intramural program's own name and logo works directly on the platform.
Can the company or campus gym sell the gear instead of giving it away?
Yes, the vendor sets the retail price whether the gear is sold to staff and students or given away as a gift.
What is the lowest-cost starter piece for a giveaway?
The Airlume Cotton Tee at $19.88 VIP base is the lowest-cost giveaway or wellness-challenge item in the catalog.
