MEMBER SPOTLIGHT ✨ member Janet 💪

Since achieving a PB in a Hyrox Doubles Event in January with Alison. Janet has been back focusing on strength and conditioning for her main passion, running… under the careful guidance of gym owner and high performance coach, Dr Neil Fell PhD.

Neil explains we have been paying particular attention to single leg stability and strength work as well as developing Janet’s core strength.

Janet decided to get fit after the big 40th birthday.
“I signed up to the Manchester 10km as my incentive and ran it in 2009 & I haven’t stopped since!”

And here is the evidence from Janet’s recent runs ...

Wilmslow Half Marathon March 2026 1:44:57 A half marathon PB

Abersoch 10km which is the hardest 10km that I’ve ever done 🤪 June 2026 50:31 PB for this event and 2/42 in FV55 category. I last ran this one in 2019 with a time of 54:44!

Finally, the recent summer evening race with the photo -it’s called Round the Resers, it’s an 8km trail run
Result - 39:47 and 2/21 in my category an improvement from 2023 when my time was 41:44.

The achievements just keep on coming since joining onePT … eyes peeled for the next one 👀

It has been a sad week at this week as we have had to announce the enforced retirement of our beloved colleague Franke.

Franke has served our members for over 9 years.

Often temperamental and very high maintenance, Franke has had more parts than Trigger's broom!

But sadly this week, Franke finally went kaput!!

We will miss our coffee machine!!

Time to look for a new one!

Fantastic progress made by .

Craig has been so consistent with his training since joining in February - 3 coached sessions per week with .coaching plus additional cardio work.

Craig can't speak highly enough of the guidance and support he receives from Adam ... but massive credit must go also go to Craig for simply turning up and getting the work done!

Great team effort!!

Awesome to have my best mate of nearly 25 years come to visit today! Don't think we've aged that much ... the inset picture was taken in 1995 at the International Society of Biomechanics Conference in Jyvaskyla, Finland.

To give Phil his official title ...

Dr Phil Graham-Smith PhD, Reader in Biomechanics and Innovation at the Manchester Metropolitan University Institute of Sport, and also member of the Sports Science Advisory Panel.

Phil is overseeing a Masters project to examine the relationship between strength and HYROX performance in both individual stations and actual race time - the aim of the project is to effectively determine individual's theoretical minimum HYROX race time based on the test results.

We are delighted to announce that we will be offering our members the opportunity to take part in this study.

As part of the test battery, we've got the Concept3 Strength Erg to measure Leg Press, Bench Press, and Seated Row performance.

If anyone is interested in taking part in the project and undertaking the Hyrox Specific tests, please comment the word TEST below.

BIG NEWS 👊

We’re launching Small Group Personal Training at onePT…

Think of it as the perfect middle ground between 1:1 PT and large group training:
✔ Max 4 people per session
✔ More coaching attention
✔ Personalised support
✔ Better accountability
✔ More affordable than 1:1 PT

This is for members who want faster progress and a more focused coaching experience.

Current members will get first access before we release spaces publicly.

If you’d like more info or want to reserve a spot, message us or speak to a coach this week 🙌
