Since joining the over 55 men’s weights class for the 6 week course at the Wellbeing Hub, it has changed my life. Having the opportunity to train with people who have the same objective is a great motivator. Abigail is a first-class trainer who assists us individually and with a passion. I have enjoyed the Hub so much that I signed up for the another 6 week course. In the 12 weeks I have trained, I have managed to reverse my diabetes, which is a massive bonus. So, if you want to improve your health as you age, the Horizon Wellbeing Hub is the perfect place to start.

Excellent course, it has given me the confidence to use weights in a safe environment, Abi has been a superstar. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a follow on course 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

I had not been doing any exercise for just over four years after I lost my horse, and my mobility had got bad after the extra weight I had put on. I saw this course advertised and thought, why not? At first, I was unsure about going into a room of strangers, but after the first day, I knew I had made the right choice; both Abi and Becca are so helpful and non-judgmental that the whole course is worth it . I have got back into the gym and got to try new classes that I would have never tried. My whole way of thinking about food has changed. Food is fuel. I would thoroughly recommend this course to everyone. It is so helpful and saving my life; I am so pleased.

To date I have attended 7 of Madeleine’s Otago classes. She plans her lessons very carefully, taking account of each participant’s physical problems and limitations. I have a bad back and a hip replacement that sub-luxes occasionally and she has suggested useful adaptations to the standard exercises. She has a very pleasant manner and explains eadi exercise very carefully at every class, never assuming that we all know what to do and regularly reminds us to breathe. She also ensures that standing and walking exercises are well-interspersed with sitting ones. Madeleine gives us homework in line with improving balance and reducing falls. But this is always in manageable chunks, focussing on a few exercises each week. Although she is only paid for a 45 minute class, she invariably spends an hour so that the class is not rushed and she takes time to really listen to each participant. I have been attending a range of exercise classes for over 40 years and Madeleine is definitely one of the best teachers I have experienced.

On finding the confidence to walk through the doors of The Hub, Havant, I was acknowledged, listened to, helped and given kindness, care and advice from Abi.

It took a while to figure out how she could help me. I have Mobility issues and a Powerchair user, and I am not able to use my legs except to transfer, but Abi didn’t give up on me; found a regular independent exercise routine for me, and away I have flown, still able to Independently do it today, and I am so grateful, I had felt forgotten.

Thank you so much.
