Littleborough has Hollingworth Lake and the Pennine paths on its doorstep, which is why so many people there walk, run and cycle but have never been shown how to lift. onePT is a coaching gym about four miles away on Albion Road Industrial Estate in Rochdale, and strength is usually the thing missing from an outdoor routine.

Personal training here means a coach whose specialism matches your goal, from a British powerlifting champion to a physiotherapist and a two time HYROX world championship qualifier, all under the leadership of Dr Neil Fell PhD. Before your first session you have a health and movement assessment, so your coach knows exactly how you move and what aches.

Walkers and runners come to us for two reasons. Some want to stop picking up the same niggles, and stronger hips and legs are the fix. Others have noticed that miles alone have stopped changing how they feel. One member told us she used walking poles before she trained with Neil and now rides for four or five hours without aching.

You will never be left to figure it out. Personal training sessions are one to one or two to one, and you can add the gym and coaching membership for unlimited group sessions, the recovery room and the infrared saunas between them. Monthly health tracking in the consultation room is included on request.

The drive from Littleborough is around eleven minutes off peak and there is free parking at the unit. Book a free consultation to see the gym and talk to a coach, or message us on WhatsApp with your goal and we will tell you who would coach you.

    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!”
