Our Team
Glenn Braunstein
Glenn is the owner of Pulse Performance Studio Buckhead. Glenn had a successful 30 year career in corporate America working for some of the largest tech companies. He’s always had a passion for fitness, health, and helping others ever since he was a young child. So in 2023, Glenn decided to leave his long tech career and pursue his dreams of opening up a Fitness business where he can help individuals achieve their health and wellness goals. He learned about Pulse Performance Studio, which started in Austin, TX, and immediately fell in love with the concept of combining technology with fitness/wellness to help other achieve their goals. And that’s how Pulse Performance Studio of Buckhead was born!

hannah bodus
Hannah recently graduated with her Master’s in Management from Emory University and brings fresh energy and ideas to her role as Sales and Fitness Advisor at Pulse. She cites “discipline, resilience, and fitness” as core parts of her identity, shaped by her years competing in track and field and soccer at Emory. At Pulse, Hannah is excited to welcome new faces, support members on their wellness journey, and help create the kind of positive studio experience that keeps people coming back. When she’s off the clock, Hannah loves getting creative whether it’s planning events, writing stories, or curating the perfect playlist. She’s always up for exploring something new and letting her curiosity lead the way – both inside and outside the gym!
John Lay
John’s unique combination of sales, marketing, customer service, and fitness/health experience make him a jack-of-all-trades around Pulse. He started as a Sales Associate, but he quickly realized that his true passion is in helping people set health and wellness goals, guiding them in their physical and nutritional journeys to achieve those goals, and coaching them through intense EMS workouts along the way! John loves engaging with every one of his clients and designing custom workouts based on their specific needs – whether it’s improving their golf game, getting ready for a ski trip, or just nursing that tight hamstring. John is currently working on his NASM Personal Training certification. And in his spare time, John can be found spending time with his girlfriend, playing pickleball, working on his golf game, or watching any sport he can find on TV!

Isaiah received a Bachelor’s Degree in History from UCLA and played linebacker for them, which is evident by the intensity, discipline, and leadership he demonstrates in his role as a trainer/coach. In addition to his coaching at Pulse, Isaiah also coaches at an Athletic Performance Facility in Atlanta while also helping grow his family business of Big Red’s Hot Sauce (be sure to ask him to try a sample!)
