We’re Celebrating 25 Years of Creating Active and Healthy Communities
At Impulse Leisure, we’re proud to be celebrating our 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of commitment to improving the health, fitness, and wellbeing of the community in Thurrock and the surrounding areas! Over the years, we have become a cornerstone of local life, providing accessible, high-quality facilities and programmes designed to inspire active and healthy living for individuals of all ages and abilities.
Since the charitable trust was founded in 2000, at Impulse Leisure we have consistently championed the importance of physical activity, social connection and mental health support, and we take immense pride in the impact we have within our community.
With over 500,000 annual visits across our facilities. We have served thousands of individual members, all with their own personal stories and journeys. Inspiring future generations to learn to swim and providing a wide range of services, our organisation has truly played a pivotal role in supporting healthier lifestyles and a stronger community.
A Legacy of Impact in the community
Impulse Leisure’s impact extends far beyond fitness facilities. With an emphasis on inclusivity, we have launched a variety of community-centred initiatives, including:
- Health and Wellness Programmes:
Providing tailored exercise classes for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those managing long-term health conditions.
- Youth Engagement:
Affordable and fun sports and activity programmes designed to encourage children and young people to develop lifelong healthy habits.
- Social Inclusion Projects:
Partnerships with local charities and organisations to ensure everyone has the opportunity to stay active and connected, regardless of financial or social barriers.
Celebrating 25 Years
To mark this historic milestone, we will be hosting a series of celebratory events across our centres throughout 2025, including:
- Open Days:
Providing free access for the whole family, including gyms, swimming pools, group exercise classes, and personal health consultations.
- Community Activities and Events:
Praising individuals and groups who have contributed to the success of Impulse Leisure over the past 25 years.
- Special Promotions:
Discounted memberships and exclusive offers to thank the community for their support and to inspire the next generation of members looking to improve their health and wellbeing.
Karl Hayes, Managing Director of Impulse Leisure, expresses his pride at our trust’s longevity and achievements:
“As we celebrate 25 years of dedicated service, we reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had supporting our local community and empowering our staff. Our success is a testament to the hard work, passion, and commitment of everyone involved. We are immensely proud of the positive impact we’ve made and are excited to continue building a brighter, healthier future for generations to come.”
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, we are committed to furthering our mission of improving and enhancing the lives of our members through innovative programmes, sustainable practices, and investment in modern facilities. As a charity, we will also be exploring new ways to address emerging community health challenges, such as mental health support and digital access to fitness resources.
