Supplier Pulse has stolen a march on competitors by providing £2m worth of fitness equipment to the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force in its first year as an approved supplier to the MoD.

The armed forces placed orders for equipment across 130 sites to help keep troops in peak physical condition.

The company worked closely with the MoD, modifying several pieces of equipment to make them more suitable for the fitness needs of the armed forces. Adaptations have included adding fitness testing programmes to the CV range, extending the weight stacks and increasing the top speed of its treadmills.

Over the last 12 months, equipment including free weights, CV machines, resistance machines and functional training kit has been supplied to military bases in Cyprus, Germany and the UK. UK installs include RAF Marham, RAF Falklands, HMS Dauntless, Bassingbourn Barracks and even the prestigious Royal Guards room at Buckingham Palace.

"As a British company, we are proud to be supporting British troops," said Pulse key account manager for government services, Ben Steadman. "Our equipment range is of the highest quality and durability and one of the most cost effective in the world. This, combined with our ability to modify equipment to meet the enhanced needs of the armed forces, makes us the ideal supplier for the MoD."

Pulse won a three year contract to be an official supplier in April 2013. They are also the official sponsor of the Royal Army Physical Training Corps football team.
