Gladstone Health & Leisure's Plus2 system has been chosen as the membership management solution for Virgin Active's very first club on Australian soil.

Already serving more than 900,000 members across 170 clubs worldwide, Virgin Active has aimed its focus upon the Australian fitness industry as its next key growth area. Indeed its first Australian club, located in French's Forest within New South Wales, is already being inundated with membership applications.

With Virgin Active's world class facilities, cutting edge equipment, exciting new fitness programs, and a non-intimidating atmosphere, the company needed a membership management solution to match. This meant only one choice and that was Plus2 by Gladstone Health & leisure.

Virgin Active Australia Managing Director Mark Blackman commented. "The quality of the Gladstone system and service support made them the natural choice to service our requirements in Australia."

Dr Said Ziai, CEO of Gladstone, added "I am delighted to welcome Virgin Active to the rapidly expanding Gladstone customer base. It is a reflection on the unrivalled quality of our solutions and services that an internationally recognised name such as Virgin Active have chosen Gladstone as their membership management solution."
