AFS was built on a simple idea: that great fitness shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. From the moment we opened our doors in Andover in 2010, we've believed that everyone — regardless of age, ability or goal — deserves specialist coaching, genuine accountability and a community that shows up for them.
Over 15 years and thousands of members later, that belief hasn't changed. We're not a globo gym. We're not a drop-in class. We're a training community — and we'd love you to be part of it.
Alternative Fitness Solutions — since 2010.
