Any of our nine coaches
Personal training in Rochdale
One to one sessions built entirely around you, with a coach whose specialism matches your goal.
onePT is a personal training gym in Rochdale with nine coaches on the floor, led by Dr Neil Fell PhD. One to one personal training is where that depth shows most. You are matched with the coach whose specialism fits what you need, whether that is rehab after an injury, strength and powerlifting, body recomposition, mobility and longevity, or preparing for a race.
Every personal training client starts with the same health and movement assessment as every member. We look at body composition, how you move, what aches and what you want to be able to do. Your sessions are then written from that, not from a template. Detailed health tracking in the private consultation room is included every month on request.
Many people come to us for one to one coaching because of an injury or a lay off. Members have trained with us through herniated discs, hip flexor and ligament injuries, knee problems that stopped them playing hockey, and recovery from concussion and major surgery. In each case the programme was built around the problem, progressed carefully and reviewed every session.
Others come for performance. Harrison coaches powerlifting as a British champion. Adam holds a national deadlift record and specialises in body recomposition. Chris has competed at two HYROX world championships. Kim brings mobility and nutrition, Danielle brings physiotherapy and Pilates. Neil brings 25 years of elite sport.
Sessions run from 6am on weekdays, so you can train before work, after the school run or on the way home. Two to one sessions are available for couples and friends who want to train together. Personal training can be added to the gym and coaching membership or booked on its own. Prices depend on the coach and how often you train, and we go through them at your free consultation.

Who gets you thereLed by a coach with a PhD in human performance.
Our owner and head coach, Dr Neil Fell, built every part of how we coach. He spent 25 years developing elite athletes, set up the sports medicine and human performance facility at St George's Park, the home of England's football teams, and earned his PhD in Sport and Exercise Science at Liverpool John Moores University. So you are not just getting a place to train. You are getting coaching backed by real science, from a team of nine coaches who are on the floor with you.
Assessed before anything else
A full health and movement assessment on day one, so your programme starts from where you actually are. Body composition is tracked in the private consultation room every month on request.
Programmed from evidence
Your programme is written from decades of evidence on strength, conditioning and mobility, then updated as you progress. No random workouts, no guessing.
Prevention is better than cure
Neil's philosophy in four words. The aim is to keep you strong enough to stay out of the doctor's office, with the same standards he used for international athletes.
Neil grew up on a farm in the South Lakes, which means he was flipping tyres and doing farmer's walks with hay bales long before functional fitness was a phrase.
In 2024 he was nominated for Wellness Leader of the Year at the Forttuna Global Excellence Awards in Dubai.
He is a certified EMS trainer and leads the whole body EMS sessions at onePT alongside Kimberley Stewart.
Favourite exercises: anything bodyweight, pull ups, dips and press ups. Favourite food: Italian. Workout music: Northern Soul and Paul Weller. Vices: cherry Bakewell flapjacks and flat whites. He also played bass in a band called The Profile at university in the nineties, with gigs at The Roadhouse, Night & Day Café and Band on the Wall.

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

No. Personal training can be booked on its own or added to the gym and coaching membership. Most people do both because the membership includes unlimited group coaching between one to one sessions.
Rehab led training is one of the things we are known for. Tell us about the injury at your consultation and bring any guidance from your physio or consultant. Your assessment and programme are built around it.
It depends on the coach and how many sessions a week. Message us on WhatsApp and we will send you the current prices today.
