Ian Tussie, Head of Partnerships at PHAR, added: “Pure Gym is one of the few rights holders that can offer a national reach to partners and a huge audience of people to communicate with on a regular basis. There are so many opportunities for partners to create genuine added value for Pure Gym’s members and to engage with them, not just whilst they’re working-out, but in their everyday lives and we’re extremely excited to work with Pure Gym and to start talking to the market about the opportunities.”
