OnePT - Rochdale

I have been a member of OnePT for 7 years and I cannot recommend this gym highly enough. From Day 1 as a nervous first timer, I was made to feel welcome and my needs and goals were listened to. The Coaches, under the expert leadership of Dr Neil Fell, are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to understand your individual goals, tailoring sessions around you. What really sets this gym apart is how they adapt training around any injuries or limitations. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the Coaches consistently go above and beyond to ensure you can continue progressing safely and confidently. The encouragement and support they show every member is exceptional. Being a member of OnePT has kept me motivated for 7 years. At 58 I am stronger than I have ever been and I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else.

As someone who was in their late 50s when I joined, I was very sceptical about joining a gym,, but honestly, in the 6 years I have been going, I have never looked back. I am a keen equestrian and was a member of a walking group, but ached every time I rode my horse, used walking poles when I went out with my group and could only go up and down stairs, very cautiously, one at a time. My husband and I do joint twice weekly “PE Lessons” (as I like to call them), with Dr Neil Fell. Through his unsurpassed knowledge into anatomy, physiology and what muscles are involved in different sports, he has improved our muscle strength, balance and general conditioning, thus reducing injuries & improving performance. I no longer use walking poles, can ride for 4-5 hours without aching, and even managed to climb up 997 steps up to a hilltop fort in Greece. To top it all, we now have metabolic ages, far younger than our actual ages. ( my husband is 71 but has the metabolic age of a 56 yr old) I have introduced lots of my friends to the gym and they are enjoying it as much as we are. I can’t recommend it highly enough & it totally deserves the national gym accolades that it has won over the years.

One PT is fantastic gym with great facilities and super friendly staff. At nearly 55, I want a gym that is not massively oversubscribed. The balance is perfect. Gym opening times which you can track on the Gym App, book classes and PT sessions, mean you can get in and out quickly to suit busy schedules or work commitments. I particularly like the Hyrox classes delivered by Chris Mann a seasoned Hyrox competitor himself. Chris pushes you to the limit with constant coaching throughout sessions. I am seriously considering a Hyrox competition in the future! One PT is not just a gym, it's a community. With events and fitness competitions organised throughout the year. It's an ideal opportunity to get to know fellow members outside the gym. I would not hesitate recommending One PT to other family members and friends.

The best gym I’ve ever been a member of. I hesitated to join for a long time because as someone who hasn’t historically frequented the gym regularly, I thought it might be intimidating. I could not have been more wrong. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed (from both the PTs and other members) and it really is a gym that everyone can attend and get the most from. The PTs really make an effort to establish your goals and tailor your program to meet them. If you want to do Hyrox training there’s plenty of support and opportunity to do that, but if you don’t, that’s fine too. The equipment is top quality, and there is everything you could possibly want- even when busy there is plenty available and lots of space to use it. And the PTs take time to make sure you know how to use everything properly and are always available if you have questions. I can’t recommend One PT enough- I wish I’d joined years ago! (NB it is also a member of Wellhub, for those of you with a plan)

I joined onePT through the wellhub. I have attended numerous gyms, but this is byfar the most enjoyable, there are a wide variety of classes, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and plan personalised workouts, and have monthly check-ins. Would highly recommend.
