As a finalist in this category it shows our hard work, innovation and determination has paid off– we are delighted with this result.”

We believe this has been achieved with the continued help and business support from Pulse Fitness, their expertise and equipment has enabled us to implement effective and efficient sales, marketing and retention strategies.” commented Tim Wilson, BPL Chief Executive.
