A local high school has received a boost to its sports and wellbeing facilities thanks to a generous donation of fitness equipment from Pulse Fitness.
The donation has been made through Lichfield District Council’s Our Community Can initiative, which ensures contractors and partners deliver real community benefits alongside major council projects.
Pulse Fitness, the supplier chosen to install gym equipment at Burntwood Leisure Centre and the new Lichfield Leisure Centre, has donated two treadmills, a cross trainer and an upright bike to Chase Terrace Academy in Burntwood.
The equipment will support the school in enhancing its PE provision, promoting active lifestyles and giving students more opportunities to build confidence, strength and wellbeing through fitness.
Councillor Rob Strachan, Cabinet Member for Finance and Commissioning, said:
We’re really pleased to see another example of Our Community Can in action. This donation will make a real difference to young people locally and shows what can be achieved when partners work with us to give back to the community. – Councillor Rob Strachan, Cabinet Member for Finance and Commissioning
Pulse Fitness is one of the UK’s leading fitness equipment suppliers and has delivered the new state-of-the-art gyms at both Burntwood Leisure Centre and Lichfield Leisure Centre. The company’s commitment extends beyond facility delivery to creating a positive impact for local residents and schools.
Pulse Fitness is proud to support Chase Terrace Academy and Lichfield District Council by donating equipment for the school’s fitness suite.
We believe health and fitness are fundamental in students’ lives as they begin their healthy, active lifestyles. Engaging both students and staff is crucial in helping them achieve their fitness goals while supporting motivation and overall wellbeing. – Kellyjoe Pollabauer, from Pulse Fitness
We are delighted and incredibly grateful to Pulse Fitness and Lichfield District Council for their donation and support in securing additional equipment for our fitness suite.
Fitness and health are central to our aim of ensuring students at Chase Terrace Academy lead healthy, active lifestyles. Our fitness suite is used during every PE lesson and is also available at lunchtimes and after school, so having a fully functional space is essential in helping students stay engaged and achieve their goals. – Jamie Barter, Head of PE at Chase Terrace Academy
The donation forms part of Lichfield District Council’s wider Our Community Can programme, which ensures major contracts deliver tangible community benefits. Recent examples include the purchase of an adaptive bike to make cycling more accessible for people with disabilities, volunteering support for local heritage and conservation sites, and contributions to foodbanks and community welfare initiatives.
