If you are in Heywood and looking for a gym, onePT is about 3.5 miles east on Albion Road Industrial Estate in Rochdale. Off peak it is a nine minute drive, straight along the A58 and down past Castleton. Plenty of our members make that trip several times a week, and the free car park at the unit means it stays a nine minute trip.

What they are driving past the nearer gyms for is the coaching. onePT is led by Dr Neil Fell PhD, who spent 25 years in elite sport before coaching adults in Rochdale, and every member starts with a health and movement assessment, gets a programme and is coached through it. A fob and a floor is not what we sell.

Heywood members tell us the same thing new members everywhere do: they had paid for a gym for years and gone less and less, or they had stopped altogether after an injury. Several came to us with bad backs, knees or hips and are training pain free now, because their programme was built around the problem rather than ignoring it.

The timetable suits a commute. We open at 6am on weekdays and close at 9pm, so you can train before work in Manchester or Bury, after the school run, or on the way home. Saturday is 8am to 5pm and Sunday 8am to 2pm. Group coaching runs through the day and your sessions are booked in the onePT app.

Start with a free consultation. You come in, see the gym, meet a coach and talk about what you want. If it is the right fit, your assessment follows and your programme is written from it. Message us on WhatsApp and we will book you in.

    See the gym, meet the team and talk through your goals with a coach. No pressure and no hard sell. Book a complimentary session if you want to try it first.

  2. Your health and movement assessment

    Body composition, how you move, what aches and what you want to be able to do. Everything that follows is built from this.

“I came to lift weights. I left feeling ten years younger. At 58 I am stronger than I have ever been and I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else.”
Catherine Smith, member for 7 years · August 2026
“I'm currently recovering from a herniated disc and ongoing sciatica. Neil has taken the time to understand my injuries, adapt everything to my needs and help me feel safe exercising again.”
Cathy Shone · September 2026
“I had been a member of a gym 20 years ago, since then life had got in the way and I had lost a bit of confidence to start again in my 60’s. Unsure why I initially hesitated!”
