For nearly 25 years, Legend has been at the heart of leisure management for trusts, local authorities, and higher education institutions across the UK and Ireland. From day one, our mission has remained the same: Work together with leisure operators to provide the tools needed to run brilliant facilities.

While this has not changed, Legend has entered a new era. Our logo and brand have been refreshed, and more importantly, the platform underneath it has been completely rebuilt. This isn’t a light refresh. It’s the result of years of significant investment and re-engineering, and it’s already live and in use by customers today.

Here’s what’s new, and why it matters.

A fresh look for a new chapter

You may already have noticed – earlier this year we refreshed our brand. And while this change was designed to unify product brands across our parent company, Xplor Technologies, it reflects something bigger.

Legend has moved into a new era. And our brand now feels as forward-looking as the platform behind it.

Re-engineered and re-built from the ground up

This is the headline news: Legend has undergone a period of significant investment and has been almost completely re-engineered.

We’ve gone beyond adding on new features to rebuild the platform’s foundations. And in doing so, unlock what a truly modern, cloud-based system can do.

That investment isn’t a one-off, either. It’s ongoing.

We’re continuing to invest in Legend’s digital transformation in direct partnership with our customers, shaping the roadmap around what leisure operators actually need.

Now cloud-native

Perhaps the biggest practical change is that Legend is now cloud native. That means:

• No more locally installed software. Access core Legend modules straight through any browser, on any device.
• Work from anywhere. Whether you’re at your desk, on-site, or moving between facilities, your team is never tied to one machine.
• Simpler IT. Less reliance on installations, updates, and maintenance on individual desktops or laptops.
• Be ready for the future. Rely on a leisure management platform that is ready to evolve and meet your requirements in an ever-changing leisure and technological landscape.

For busy leisure teams, that means fewer barriers between you and the job at hand.

A cleaner, easier way of working

In making this move, we’ve revamped the user interface within the Legend platform.

It’s been designed to be clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate. So, your team can find what they need quickly and get on with running your facilities.

Everything you need, in one place

True to our history, this new platform brings together all the functionality you need into a single, connected platform.

And because it’s built to scale, it grows with you:

• Running a single site? Legend gives you everything you need to manage it efficiently.
• Managing multiple sites, or portfolios of locations? Legend scales to support that growth.

Whatever stage you’re at, Legend is built to keep pace with your needs.

Deep expertise, still behind every interaction

None of this would mean much without the team behind it.

Legend is backed by people with deep, hands-on expertise in software for both leisure operators and higher education sports facilities. That experience shapes every part of the platform; from the features we prioritise to the support we provide.

Leading the Legend team into this new era is Nestor Avramov, General Manager for Legend, who joins from fellow Xplor Fitness & Leisure solution Exerp:

Legend has always been about more than software. It’s about genuinely understanding the day-to-day realities of running a leisure facility and building tools that make that job easier.

Coming from Exerp, I’ve seen first-hand how powerful it is when a platform is shaped by close partnership with customers, and that’s exactly the approach we’re bringing to Legend.

This is a hugely exciting moment for the team, and for everyone who relies on Legend to run their facilities.

Built in partnership with you

Perhaps most importantly, we work in genuine partnership with our customers, both in how we develop the platform and in how we support you day to day.

That means:

• Proactive and reactive support, when needed.
• A roadmap shaped by customer feedback and requirements.
• A team that listens, and acts on what it hears.

Legend has been trusted by the leisure sector for close to 25 years. This new chapter isn’t about leaving that history behind. It’s about building on it, with a platform that’s ready for the next 25.
