When passion, community, and quality equipment come together, extraordinary fitness spaces are born!
Recently, the team at Body-Solid spoke with Sophie, founder and owner of Pulse Wellness Studio in Richibucto, New Brunswick, Canada, to learn about her studio’s inspiring journey, her approach to fitness, and how Body-Solid equipment powers her members’ daily workouts.
Pulse Wellness Studio began in February 2025 as a simple, heartfelt idea.
As Sophie recalls:
“What started as a small idea to offer a few Pilates and fitness classes in my basement each week quickly grew into a community that I knew had the potential to become something much bigger. We recently moved into our new, purpose-built studio, which has allowed us to expand our classes, equipment, and community.”
Located in Richibucto, New Brunswick, Canada, the new location was selected to serve the surrounding area better:
“We chose this location because we wanted to be more centrally located and make Pulse Wellness Studio accessible to more people in our community. Being in the heart of town makes it easier for members to fit fitness into their daily routines and allows us to reach a wider range of people. Our goal is to make fitness convenient, welcoming, and accessible to everyone, regardless of their fitness level or experience.”
Today, the studio offers a rich variety of group options, including Pilates, Spin, Step, Yoga, and dedicated strength training.
Every class is led by a qualified instructor with expertise in their respective field, ensuring members receive top-tier coaching every time they step through the door.
Sophie’s journey to studio ownership was shaped by years of personal fitness experience.
Teaching both Spin and Pilates, she experienced firsthand the unique energy that group environments foster:
“Fitness has been a big part of my life for many years. I teach both Spin and Pilates and have experience with a variety of group fitness formats. I’ve always loved the energy and community that group fitness creates, and that eventually led me to create Pulse. My passion is helping people feel confident and capable in their bodies while creating an environment where they actually look forward to showing up.”
This philosophy shines through in every class, creating an inclusive atmosphere where beginners feel comfortable starting and experienced athletes still feel challenged and motivated.
Equipping a group fitness facility with the right fitness equipment requires careful consideration and balance.
The equipment must handle high-frequency daily use while remaining versatile enough to adapt to different group formats and individual ability levels.
When selecting equipment for Pulse Wellness Studio, Sophie knew exactly what she needed:
“Quality, durability, functionality, and versatility were all really important to me. Because we have a variety of classes and members with different fitness levels, I wanted equipment that could withstand frequent use while also being approachable for beginners and useful for more experienced members.”
To outfit her new space, Sophie partnered locally with Body-Solid dealer Fitworks in Dieppe, New Brunswick:
“Supporting a local fitness equipment business was important to us, and they were great to work with when outfitting our new space.”
Since integrating Endurance by Body-Solid indoor cycles into their programming, the response from both instructors and members has been overwhelmingly positive:
“The feedback on the Endurance by Body-Solid cycles has been really positive. We wanted equipment that would hold up to frequent use, since our classes run throughout the week. They have been a great addition to our programming.”
With classes running continuously throughout the week, the exceptional durability of Body-Solid cycles has made them a reliable, high-value staple for Pulse’s growing community.
As Pulse Wellness Studio continues to thrive in its new location, Sophie’s vision remains deeply focused on community-first growth:
“Our biggest goal is to continue growing the community while staying true to what makes Pulse special. We want to continue expanding our class offerings, bringing in new members, and creating more opportunities for people to connect through fitness. We’re also excited to continue developing our strength and conditioning programming and finding new ways to help our members become stronger and more confident. Ultimately, I want Pulse to continue being a place where people feel welcome, challenged, supported, and excited to come back.”
