About Innerva
Innerva
About us
Innerva are a UK manufacturer of ‘Power Assisted Exercise’ equipment for older adults, those with long-term health conditions and anyone uncomfortable in a traditional gym environment. Unlike conventional exercise equipment, Innerva’s electronic power system enables users to work passively or actively, with a focus on improving aerobic fitness, muscular strength, balance, flexibility and social wellbeing. As the user does not have to provide the motive force, they do not have to overcome inertia to use the machines, so it is a perfect choice for anyone new to exercise or those limited by their mobility or health. The vast majority of people who use our equipment would not exercise otherwise.

Product range and services
At Innerva our mission is to create innovative exercise solutions that keep older adults and those living with limited mobility both physically and socially active throughout their lives.
Led by science, our product development team work with academic and university partners to continuously drive innovation and ensure our products meet the needs of end users. The Innerva circuit model is a range of power assisted exercise machines that provides a full body workout in as little as 30-40 minutes for those who need that extra ‘helping hand’ to be able to exercise, and to do so in a more social environment.
In addition to attracting a completely new demographic, providing for harder to reach individuals within the local community, and the opportunity to develop long term partnerships with health, social care and other third sector providers, the Innerva solution offers the potential to generate new annual revenue. But more importantly it can support organisations to meet health and community objectives and KPIs, supporting older populations to become and stay more active and helping users retain their independence as they age.
case study: Grimsby Leisure Centre, Lincs Inspire
After 10 years of running its flagship Innerva suite in the UK, Lincs Inspire invested in an additional circuit of power assisted exercise machines to create a Wellness Hub within Grimsby Health & Wellbeing Centre. The Wellness Hub now has 22 Innerva machines across three rooms, with over 600 regular members visiting regularly to improve their health, activity levels and wellbeing.

Plans for the next 12 months
We will further develop our solution to support active and healthy ageing, working with our health, academic and operator partners to meet the needs of those with long-term health conditions and bridge the gap between fitness and health.

The next year includes the launch of our new digital solution and the results of a pioneering pilot to improve outcomes for stroke victims at University Hospital in Wishaw.

Our continued international expansion will give the world’s ageing population an accessible exercise solution to improve physical and mental health.
