CrossFit^® OL1 - Gym

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, fantastic coaches. The classes/sessions are well thought out with great explanations and the intensity is always high. There is a great community at this gym and everyone makes you feel welcome. The app they have is easy to use to book your sessions and also track your workouts. Overall, I’d highly recommend the gym no matter what level you’re at.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for about 4 weeks now! I love the atmosphere and the encouragement of everyone there, so friendly and happy, helping everyone along on there journey.

Fantastic experience: I started here a couple of months ago as I am rubbish with knowing what to do in the gym and where to start. I was quite nervous to start as I’m quite a self conscious person but I 100% recommend it, the staff and other customers are extremely supportive and helpful. They keep you motivated and knowledgeable on what you’re supposed to be doing. Thank you x

Fantastic experience: For anyone contemplating starting CrossFit this is the gym for you! I have put it off for so long due to gym fear but Sam and the other coaches have been super supportive. Each session they have explained and demonstrated all the different exercises, plus you can start at your own skill and fitness level. The other members are all super supportive and make you feel welcome! The app also helps you track your progress and set realistic goals. Don’t put it off and book a visit.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to cross fit 101, since my first class I have been made to feel welcome and part of the group, everyone from the coaches and the members encourage you and help you. I have never been to a gym like it before and wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: I signed up not really knowing a lot about cross fit ,I was totally new to this but I wanted a challenge and wanted something different to a typical gym as CrossFit is different every session and never gets boring! The first day I went ( and still now) I was made to feel welcome, the coaches are always there when I need a little help or advice, they always have an answer for any questions I ask which made me feel more at ease. After each visit I always feel I have done a really good session and feel great. After the 10 sessions I've had I find CrossFit really enjoyable, I look forward to every session and will definitely continue to keep it up!!

Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough great things about OL1 from the day enquiring to 10+ sessions everyone really friendly and supportive - great vibe and worth every penny

Fantastic experience: CrossFit people are my people. These people help me be me…..and a little bit more.

Fantastic experience: Great gym right in the heart of Oldham , great coaches , friendly atmosphere. Completely life changing.,

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing changed my mind on going to the gym in general as I usually give up after a short amount of time. amazing people and I would highly recommend this place to anyone

Fantastic experience: Been at OL1 for 2years, it has been the best decision I have made Fantastic coaches and support network

Fantastic experience: I joined OL1 two years ago and it has been an experience from day one. The coaching staff are passionate —highly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress. They provide personalised attention to ensure you perform exercises correctly and safely, which has significantly improved my technique and overall fitness, also the workouts can be catered to your own fitness level. The community at OL1 is another highlight. The members are friendly, encouraging, and diverse, creating a positive and motivating atmosphere. I’ve seen remarkable improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall health since joining.

Fantastic experience: Since joining the Battle Cancer program 2 years ago at CrossFit OL1, myself & my husband John went on to join Legends. We have met an amazing group of people who are all so friendly and supportive & have become friends. We have both never felt as strong as we do now both physically and mentally. I truly believe this has been a major factor to John being able to continue to cope with his ongoing cancer treatment. If he can still do it…anyone can. All the staff & members are welcoming and very supportive. It has now become a big part of our lives. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: A amazing gym where you go for the workout but gain a sense of community been going for a while and loved every minute

Fantastic experience: Superb place with fantastic coaches, great workouts for all and a lovely cafe to relax in afterwards

Fantastic experience: Got dragged into the CrossFit world by my best friend and introduced me to such wonderful and welcoming group of people. Coaches are approachable and really push your limits. I couldn’t believe the things I was capable of doing. One of the best decisions I’ve done for my health. I couldn’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit OL1 has changed the way I think about food and fitness. Stopped the fad diets and calorie counting for nutrition driven meals and focusing on form and progression in the gym not just the scales. I am stronger, healthier and so much more confident. I’d never have had to confidence to sign up to Hyrox and fitness competitions before coming here! The coaches are brilliant and the members too. Best decision to join this gym!

Fantastic experience: Love OL1! This gym is my happy place! A really inclusive environment. Top coaches who really support you to make progress and I have made some great friends here. ❤️

Fantastic experience: THE BEST GYM- From being someone who avoided exercise whenever I could to now being addicted (in a good way) I can honestly say it’s been the best thing I have ever done signing upto the Forty5 classes at CrossFit OL1. Friendly, professional and approachable coaches, brilliant atmosphere and an amazing, supportive community. Plus they do the best coffee at Beanbox ☕️

Fantastic experience: The best CrossFit/Hyrox gym in Oldham. Amazing people, great group fitness classes. A fantastic family atmosphere. Great coaching would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Quality gym and great friends coaches! I moved from a large commercial gym and was surprised how friendly and welcoming everyone was, ol1 isn't just a gym it's like a community.

Fantastic experience: I have attended many gyms in Oldham over the years and can honestly say that OL1 has been the best for me. 2 years in and I still enjoy every session as they are all different which for me keeps it interesting! The Forty5 sessions are perfect to increase fitness levels and strength but are also fun. The staff and other members are super helpful and friendly so staying behind after a session for a brew and chat in the Beanbox cafe just makes it even more wonderful!

Fantastic experience: It’s one year since my last review which was 5* If I could give 6 then I would. Since my last review I have continued to lose body fat, gain muscle mass, look and feel more confident and increased my energy levels and stamina. The Coaches give credit for turning up day in and day out but credit has to go to them for their investment into each individual helping with lifestyle choices and following a programme that can be adapted to individuals if required. The gyms strength is its people. I never thought that one year on, I would be competing in competition and entering Hyrox events. I only wanted to get a better Park run time lol

Fantastic experience: Such an inclusive gym. The most accepting and welcoming atmosphere. Coaches are approachable and not too serious! And the music … banger after banger!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love working out at this gym-the coaches and my gym buddies all motivate me to train hard and we have lots of fun!! If you are looking for the best gym to work out at in Oldham this is the place to be!!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend this gym enough! The coaches are amazing, all really friendly, supportive and know their stuff. They are always happy to help and give advice. I have been going for almost 2 months and already feel fitter, stronger and have learnt some new skills. All the members are really friendly and there’s a good mix of abilities so it really does cater to everyone. Joining the gym will be the best thing you do :)

Fantastic experience: Came to OL1 CrossFit Gym as I was curious about a different kind of fitness. I cannot speak highly enough of Sam and his team, they are welcoming, motivating and inspiring. No matter what level of fitness you are at there is something for you, and more importantly the atmosphere and support by other gym goers is incredible. If you are bored of the mundane sessions in your local gym why not give this a go? Don't let YouTube put you off, CrossFit is for anyone, and you will not regret it. The gym facilities, atmosphere and support here is unmatched anywhere else, so what have you got to lose? On top of the amazing facilities they have a coffee shop where you can watch a class and drink until your hearts content, and listen to the progress you and others have made. An amazing place, and even better people, 5 stars all round.

Fantastic experience: OL1 is more than just a gym, it’s a tight knit community, welcoming you with open arms. Only started in Feb this year and the awesome coaches have helped me achieve amazing progress and the 5:45am crew are simply the best, always the energy to cheer you on, especially when PBs and progress are made. Joined to get fitter and stronger but added extra is making fab friendships. Love love love this place!!!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit OL1 is a friendly place where you can feel challenged in a supportive way, whatever your experience level. I would, and do, recommend it highly.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit OL1 after participating in the second Battle Cancer programme run by Sam and Katie, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness journey. This was my first experience with a CrossFit gym, and I was incredibly nervous walking through the doors for the first time. However, those nerves quickly dissipated, thanks to the welcoming atmosphere and supportive community. After completing the programme, I had no hesitation in becoming a full member. OL1 has become more than just a gym for me; it's a place where I meet up with new friends and receive encouragement and support that truly is second to none. As someone still in the early stages of my CrossFit journey, I am continually impressed by the level of attention and motivation provided by all the coaches. They are knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to offer guidance or a word of encouragement. The other members are equally supportive, ensuring every workout is something to look forward to. OL1 has created an environment where everyone, regardless of their fitness level, feels included and motivated to push their boundaries. The sense of achievement I feel after each session is incredible, and I owe a lot of that to the fantastic team at OL1. If you're considering joining a CrossFit gym but are feeling nervous or unsure, I highly recommend giving OL1 a try. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I am excited to continue my fitness journey with such a dedicated and inspiring community.

Fantastic experience: I only joined CrossFit Oldham a few weeks ago but already can’t speak highly enough about it. I was hitting a wall at my previous gym, not really maximising my workouts and feeling in a slump. I love the morning classes, they really set me up for the day and have banished my lack of exercise guilt. Honestly it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made, I already feel fitter and healthier and the coaching is excellent. It wasn’t overwhelming joining as a complete CrossFit beginner and the community have been so supportive. Highly recommend to anyone in Manchester looking to increase their fitness within a supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Amazing CrossFit gym with good vibes. Would recommend to anyone. The community support you through anything and you meet your life long friends to which are my bridesmaids!!! Greeting coaching and tips to help anyone progress. Caters for any ability! Also nice adding bonus of fresh coffee at the bean box post class. Which 100% is needed at 05.45 workout.

Fantastic experience: Ive been training at crossfit OL1 almost three months and have fallen in love with the strong positive community there. Crossfit can be an intimidating sport but both members and staff have time and time again gone out of there way to make me feel welcome. Coaching is some of the best i’ve experienced with a focus on diverse and effective warm ups and cooling down at the end. You don’t often get this in a crossfit box. Equally they follow a well balanced and thought out program and the coaches are always there to help you understand the focus in the workout. Their tips on technique have already helped me to develop my existing skill set, they know their stuff! There are no strong egos at this gym everyone arrives to class to work hard and have fun. Having attended a number of crossfit gyms during my time in this sport this gym is up there as one of my favorites. If you are a first time crossfitter or experienced you will not be disappointed in visiting and joining this gym.

Fantastic experience: Starting CrossFit OL1 was the best decision I made! After losing my confidence to train over lock down, the coaches and members couldn’t have been more welcoming! Since joining I have took part in races, Hyrox and multiple competitions including OL1’s very own M60 throw down! If you’re in the Oldham/Manchester area I can’t recommend Crossfit OL1 gym enough! There’s also an added bonus of the Bean Box coffee shop for all your pre and post WOD catch ups!

Fantastic experience: I signed up to OL1 CrossFit 2 years ago and it was the best thing I ever done! I signed up as fitness instructor myself but always struggled to find high quality coaches that I felt in good hands with… As being self employed myself I wanted to join somewhere with a community feel too and it’s exactly what I got.. in fact I’ve made some of the best friends ever! I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it now!! Thanks Guys Karen Austin xx

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend CrossFit OL1 enough! I have been training here for the the last 3 years and I would never train anywhere else! It really is an amazing gym, the coaching, facilities and programming are brilliant and they have the best coffee shop too!

Fantastic experience: Top gym, very welcoming to old and new members. Had a few injurys, mostly due to lack of mobility. Coaches always happy to alter workouts to still train with slight niggles rather than stop fully. Friendly environment whilst still encouraged to push your own boundaries…whether thats as a new member or more experienced member

Fantastic experience: This gym is where I started my fitness journey a couple of years ago. I am a completely different person both mentally and physically now, thanks to OL1. If you are thinking of joining here then do it. Ol1 will always have a special place in my heart.

Fantastic experience: Personally can’t speak highly enough about the gym or the staff. It’s not even just a gym it’s such a community that they’ve built at OL1. I’ve always wanted to do CrossFit (followed it for 10 years) but always thought I needed to be fitter but the OL1 team make every workout accessible and I can still feel myself getting better with every workout. Also feeling safe enough to bring my wife here as an LGBTQ couple speaks volumes to the integrity of this gym. If you have any hesitations - just take a jump. I had anxieties but the staff couldn’t go out of their way anymore to be accommodating in getting me into the gym. Now 5:45am at OL1 is my safe place. I’m doing mentally and physically better and that’s all down to OL1. 5 stars won’t even begin to touch the sides of the respect and gratitude I have.

Fantastic experience: It feels like home , a place where you feel welcome and keen to return the next day. Friendly environment, clean, spacious and well ventilated, with new kits. The classes are challenging but you feel a sense of accomplishment by the end. The coaches are there to support and guide you at all times. OL1 is my Monday to friday date.

Fantastic experience: This place has honestly changed my life for the better once i finally took the plunge after 3 years of the wife banging on at me to give it a try. I’m into my 6th month at CrossFit OL1 and just done my 100th class. In my first month I joined the Look Good Feel Good challenge where I managed to drop over 5% in body fat and gained 2.7kg of muscle which is way beyond what I could have hoped for in such a short period of time! I’m feeling better now then I have for long time and it’s taken alot of effort getting up at 6am every morning to make it to the 6:45am class but the friends I’ve met during my journey so far make it so much easier. All of the coaches are fantastic and have helped me train through a recent injury and now I’m back training fully again. I’ve also done my first CrossFit competition which was a brilliant day and lots of fun. One of the best decisions I’ve made in a very long time and it’s paying off! Thanks so much guys x

Fantastic experience: The BEST gym, there are so many options for all abilities, with fantastic facilities all fully kitted out! everyone is so welcoming met so many amazing people through the gym, and there are always extra things going on outside the gym too to get involved in!

Fantastic experience: Would absolutely recommend OL1 to anybody wanting to join Crossfit, the coaches, members are all so welcoming… it’s more like a community than any regular gym. Ive also taken part in the nutrition coaching with Rob… again, would highly recommend this too! Love OL1!

Fantastic experience: What a gym!! Taken me from being lazy and doing nothing to having to force myself to take a rest day. Not just a gym! The members and coaches are brill, great atmosphere for a laugh and a brew after tough workout. Don’t think I could ever move gyms after going here!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at several gyms over the years, but OL1 is hands down the best place I’ve ever trained. From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcomed by both the members and the coaches. The sense of community here is unmatched—everyone is so supportive and encouraging, regardless of your fitness level. The coaches are top-notch, offering personalized attention and expert guidance to ensure you’re performing exercises correctly and safely. The workouts are challenging but scalable, making them accessible for everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes. The positive energy and camaraderie in every class make working out something I genuinely look forward to. If you’re looking for a gym that combines excellent training with a welcoming and motivating atmosphere, this is the place for you. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Can’t speak highly enough about this gym. Training in a group setting helps push me and keep me motivated. Taken part in the CrossFit and Hyrox classes as well as the Look Good Feel Good Nutrition programme. Supportive teammates and coaches provide that extra encouragement at every class! Best gym around if you’re looking for a place to train in Oldham!

Fantastic experience: 3 years since I walked into CrossFit OL1 and I’ve never looked back. Not only am I fitter and stronger but I have found my tribe who encourage me every day. No matter your age or fitness, I encourage you to give CrossFit OL1 a try, you will love it. Thank you to the team at OL1 for being great at what you do.

Fantastic experience: OL1 is so much more than a gym. Choose a vibrant atmosphere. Choose first class programing. Choose the coffee bean, coffee shop. Choose top-notch coaches. Choose the community of people. Choose your friends. Choose encouragement. Choose progression. Choose inspiration. Choose your future. Choose life. Choose OL1.

Fantastic experience: I have been a CrossFit OL1 member for just over 12 months and I can honestly say that it has been one of the best decisions I have made. The coaches are great, my overall fitness, strength, confidence and ability to do CrossFit has come on leaps and bounds! The people are amazing, everyone welcomed me from my first session, and I am lucky enough to say that I have made some great friends since joining! I definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined a month ago and I have to say it was the best decision I've made to further my fitness. The coaches are amazing. Extremely supportive and cater training based on ability. All the members are very friendly and it feels like one big family. It's just a shame I didn't make the shift to CrossFit much sooner. Keep it up guys!

Fantastic experience: I've been at Crossfit OL1 for a few weeks, and it has been an great experience. The staff and members are exceptionally amiable and inclusive, making everyone feel welcome. The trainers are highly knowledgeable and offer invaluable guidance, creating a supportive environment that caters to all fitness levels. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: A Great gym with everything you need to get better at CrossFit and functional fitness. If your goal is also to meet people and find a new social circle this is the place with great people from the owners to the newest members. If you want to start your fitness journey or a seasoned athlete then OL1 has it all.

Fantastic experience: My journey at OL1 started 9 years ago bringing 3 of my kids down to teens sessions and decided to jump on a session myself . Fast forward 8 years and it was the best decision i ever made ! OL1 caters for all ages/abilities and the community /members are second to none . When i decided 4 years ago to do my coaching qualifications and sam and dan gave me the opportunity to come on the coaching team it was a no brainer , i was honoured . If you are looking to get fitter / stronger there is no other place to be . The best crossfit/hyrox gym in oldham . Angie thewlis.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit OL1 - a fantastic community full of encouraging and inspiring people. Workouts are accessible to everyone, everyday is different and you feel incredible after each session! Moving house meant I needed a new gym. I saw a friend post about OL1 on their story but I used to think CrossFit was only for mega fit people - which I'm not! I also had my wedding coming up. With all this, joining OL1 was one of my best decisions. The coaches are really friendly and supportive, you can start CrossFit from any skill level. I've come a long way (fitness and nutrition) since joining. Another plus is you don't have to think what workout you'd be doing (doing gym on your own) as it's all planned out! OL1 is simply a part of my routine now and I highly recommend to anyone considering on joining.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. I started coming to OL1 as part of the battle cancer program. I never thought I would actually start CrossFit, but everyone was so welcoming and friendly I never left when the battle cancer program finished. OL1 have played a major part in my recovery both physically and mentally, and I can’t thank everyone enough for their help and support x

Fantastic experience: I joined OL1 CrossFit just over 3 months ago, and can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve made! I’ve been out of any form of exercise for a long time, I was very nervous with many anxieties! However, all my anxieties and worries were eased straight away, it’s been like joining one big family, so welcoming and supportive and its pushed me to do things I never thought I could do! I now love turning up and working out, it’s become part of my life and routine! I mostly do Forty5 classes and a few CrossFit sessions which i have grown to love! Every work out can be scaled to any ability which allows everyone to give everything a go! OL1 continues to help me physically and mentally and I cannot wait to continue my fitness journey with OL1! The best gym, with everything you need from amazing supportive coaches, to perfect facilities and the added bonus of the bean box coffee shop☕️

Fantastic experience: I moved to Manchester in October 2023, and needed to find a new CrossFit, luckily for me the one closest to me was full so I went for my second option OL1. I can honestly say it’s the best gym I’ve ever been a part of, I recently achieved my first ever pull up, have made lots of new friends and took part in my first ever friendly comp

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend CrossFit OL1 enough! It’s not only a gym but a community ❤️ and it is suitable for all levels of fitness and the coaches are amazing at altering the movements if needed. Love OL1 ❤️

Fantastic experience: I joined OL1 in November 23 and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. Im the strongest I have ever been, I’m pushed daily to be stronger both mentally and physically and even better than all of that I’ve made the best friends. This is a fantastic CrossFit gym and I can’t recommend it enough!!

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean with all new equipments. Affordable membership prices is an added advantage.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Good place to train

Fantastic experience: Been at CrossFit ol1 for 7 years now. Couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather be in my fitness journey. It's a 2nd family.

Fantastic experience: I came to CrossFit in September 2021. At the time I was feeling pretty much down in the dumps about most things. Thanks to the pandemic I’d not worked properly for nearly 18 months and my fitness level was on its knees. I was also the heaviest I’d ever been. After much consideration I finally walked through the doors and I was amazed by what I’d found. Coaches who want to help and offer advice on exercise and nutrition but also members who do nothing but make you feel welcome and encourage you every step of the way. These days I can’t wait to get in the gym, currently attending 5 or 6 times a week. My spirits have well and truly been lifted. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Come and see for yourselves

Fantastic experience: I have just completed my second block of the mum and baby gym classes and successfully lost a stone of my baby weight in 12 weeks. It’s not only a great work out but also provides childcare so you can have uninterrupted sessions which I’ve struggled to find at other gyms. The coffee shop attached is also a great place to sit and chat to other mums at the end of each session.

Fantastic experience: Started training at OL1 specifically for the Hyrox package they had to offer and was instantly welcomed into the community! They train hard but play hard and treat everyone the same no matter what background or current fitness level. Have met some great people since joining this gym and would highly recommend to anybody looking for a good place to train, grow and improve - with a few good laughs along the way.

Fantastic experience: OL1 is an fantastic place with a great atmosphere. The sessions keep exercise interesting and fun and keep you motivated to be stronger, fitter and healthier. The coaches make sure you have a good technique and give guidance on all exercises. Basically it's fab and I love it!

Fantastic experience: Joined OL1 a little over 2 years ago, and never looked back. Fitter now than when I was in my 20's. Sam and Danielle have a built a great gym.... great facilities, great coaching team (all home grown talent) and a welcoming and inspiring community. If your thinking about it.... give it a go :-)

Fantastic experience: Lovely community, amazing coaches, all the support! Being at OL1 has helped me improve in skill and consistency since joining last November. Whether you feel 100% or 10%, you'll look forward to a session. Love the challenge, inclusivity and spirit each class brings :))) Also... Noon class, best class! xx

Fantastic experience: This is a lovely community gym where people of all fitness abilities can attend. The classes challenge your level, it’s fun, professionally taught by great coaches and then there’s a great coffee shop to relax in after. I go before work and it suits my day perfectly. If you have thought about trying it then go ahead. The members and staff are a friendly bunch. We take students in from a Oldham College and they are well looked after.

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful gym with a friendly, family feel to it. The owners, Danielle and Sam are two of the nicest people you’ll meet - and Rob (one of the coaches) too. In fact, everyone I’ve met there have been very welcoming and supportive. A great bunch, in a tidy, modern facility not far from the centre of Oldham. Recommended whether you’re new to fitness, or an experienced CrossFitter.

Fantastic experience: Best thing I have ever done joining OL1, the Forty 5 classes are the best. I joined in November 2022 and I have never looked back, I am the fittest I have ever been. Everyone is really welcoming and friendly. Love my caramel lattes off Dan after each session.❤️ The coaches are amazing and will push you in each class. Angie is my fav ❤️ I have also made some really good friends through doing the classes. Get joining!!! X

Fantastic experience: My favourite place! Great coaching and friendly atmosphere, suitable for all fitness levels. I’m fitter and stronger than ever since joining OL1, and have made friends for life <3. Added bonus of an oat milk cappuccino from the Bean Box after an early morning workout.

Fantastic experience: Great coffee, always served with a lovely smile

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Whether you are starting from scratch and can’t do a single sit up or are further on your journey and looking to take it to the next level, this place has it all. The coaches, the community, the workouts, the tunes and the Bean Box all hit the spot. If you are fed up of doing the same thing every time you hit the gym, you will never look back once you walk through the door here

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for 3+ years. I found the gym on my own boring and as a result didn't achieve much. I've achieved much more since joining, and the social part was an unexpected bonus!

Fantastic experience: Since retiring from Rugby I've needed something to give me that buzz. This environment has given me that. Such a great place to train with fantastic technical coaching. The people who train here are down to earth with no egos. So glad I started

Fantastic experience: Amazing box. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I originally attended via the battle cancer program, and have fallen in love with exercise again thanks to the brilliant staff and supportive atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym for all abilities. Far better than your standard gym & PT sessions. It’s like having PT with a great group of encouraging & supportive people

Fantastic experience: Best Coffee around! Especially Cappuccino with Almond Milk! Staff are lovely and the atmosphere is great! Deffo worth a visit! The gym is also fantastic! Fitness fun, nutrition advice and great coaches! The best place in Oldham

Fantastic experience: What an amazing gym with attached little coffee shop! The coffee whether iced cold or piping hot always tastes mega with an array of brownies/blondies and other goodies to devour as a more than necessary side order! With alternatives for those with intolerances/varied dietary requirements. Whilst service is always with a smile from the gorgeous barrister Danielle, she even takes requests for music and more importantly milky froth art :) It is a superbly run small business with clean facilities and quirky decor! A chilled atmosphere filled with an amazing community for which you couldn’t really ask for anything more! Here’s to continued success and more of my wage well spent!

Fantastic experience: Best atmosphere and coaching of any gym I’ve been to. Great class times and variety inc partner workouts. Facilities and equipment cannot be faulted and the coffee is even better Keep up the good work !

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly gym, never trained anywhere like it before. The workouts are all challenging but do-able whatever your ability and the atmosphere is so encouraging. I always leave the sessions smiling from ear-to-ear

Fantastic experience: A great gym with top quality coaching. OL1 is the best community to help you push yourself and enjoy your training. Also, the best coffee in Oldham!

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for 5 years now and can definitely say it’s more than just a gym. The community is the absolute best around and the facilities are by far the best in Oldham. Always a friendly welcome and has without a doubt changed the way I train for the rest of my life. Couldn’t imagine being anywhere else now.

Fantastic experience: Started at ol1 with fit mum classes after I had had a baby, I was really nervous and quite anxious about starting training again, however I shouldn’t have been everyone was so warm and welcoming it was a huge relief! I would recommend OL1 to everyone but especially new mums ;)x

Fantastic experience: Jeanette Taylor would like to thank Sam, Katie, Rob, Angie and all the amazing staff at OL1 for a great opportunity and experience at the superb well equipped and welcoming box. I took part in the Battle Cancer Project with the awesome Pete and Rob and can’t thank you enough for helping me get back onto an even better healthier life style, gaining confidence and life long friends. What a fantastic place to be at where everyone there helps each other along their fitness journey at whatever pace you are looking for.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit OL1 is more than just a gym, it’s a welcoming community, full of likeminded individuals. By joining this gym you don’t just gain (quality) CrossFit knowledge, you become part of a community that’s like no other. All in one place you can, improve fitness, learn technical movements, grab a gorgeous coffee at The Beanbox and make friends! OL1 has changed my life and I’m forever grateful for this place!!

Fantastic experience: Never been to the gym before due to my anxiety but Crossfit OL1 as helped me come out of my shell, they’ve taught me everything from Nutrition all the way to ensuring i’ve got the correct form when working out. Only been here for 2 months and now i feel like a PT myself. It also helps that its group fitness so if you’re a novice like i was this is the place for you, you’ll get all the support you need. Sam and Rob are the best PT’s in the oldham/manchester area highly recommend this gym!!!
