    This is a gym for people who need to move more which utilises custom machines to enable that to happen. I have been using it and since I started my strength and movement has improved and the team are very friendly and helpful.

    I can supported exercise machines help me move, strengthen muscles, and gently help circulation and breathing in a healthy way, with a program unique to me, especially adapted to my needs and ability. The staff are amazing, so understanding, friendly, caring and very professional. It's the best place for people with mobility issues. It's also a very friendly place to make friends, and chat over a cuppa in a social area. We are so lucky to have this wonderful place in Andover.

    All communities need I Can! This vital artery is essential to people who without it would be worse off. 5 stars simply doesn’t do it justice. The staff make it all the more special. The improvements seen are outstanding.

    I go here once a week to use the 12 power assisted machines to try and help strengthen the muscles in my back and neck. As I am in a lot of pain, for most of the time, I am hopeful that this will help me to cope better with it and not rely on my strong painkillers which i am prescribed as much. I've been going for a few months now and really enjoying the experience. I only use some of them as the routine is tailored for my own needs. Everyone has their own set for them. All the staff are friendly and helpful, as are the other people who use the services provided. Everyone seems to use the provided sanitary wipes to clean the machine handles before and after they have used them, so it's a safer environment. There is always Greatest Hits Radio playing in the background, playing music to match most people's taste. Price is the same for everyone, and it's very reasonable.
