Fusion Lifestyle Leisure Facilities
Fusion Lifestyle was established in April 2000 following a decision by a London Borough Council to outsource the management of the leisure facilities. Fusion now manages a diverse portfolio of facilities using our specialist expertise to provide sustainable solutions for councils and exciting products and programmes for our customers. Fusion is a national operator managing leisure facilities from Wales to London and as far north as Newcastle.
No two Fusion sites are the same, we retain the heritage of centres when we refurbish and we are experienced at managing centres from ice rinks to outward bound residential centres, town halls and expansive leisure facilities. We put our energies into providing facilities and programmes that are an attractive proposition to the local community. We respect the history of our centres and it is not uncommon for generations of local residents to hold fond memories of learning to swim in our centres, playing football matches over the years and hosting birthday celebrations at our sites.
Fusion is a registered charity, there are therefore no shareholders. We are able to continually reinvest in facilities, products and importantly people. Our Board of Trustees volunteer their time and guide decision making, they have a wealth of expertise and experience and a genuine interest in health and wellbeing.

Impact
Impact
Auracle Sound’s nationwide roll out has grown into a lasting relationship with Fusion Lifestyle as they have taken on the management of further Leisure Centre’s across the country.
It has even led to new installations for other Borough Council’s who have been impressed by the ease of use and simplicity of Auracle’s background music solution and adopted it for their own centre’s.
