What our members say
Attending a Better gym has helped me in a multitude of ways. Physically, it obviously helps me in my day-to-day life, it helps me understand my body. Mentally it's helped me in terms of giving me a center for myself. And socially, it helps because I'm a more confident, outgoing person.
Exercise is really important because if you've got MS, you have a problem with your nervous system […] and to be doing any form of exercise, keeping yourself flexible is keeping you supple - it's keeping you moving.
