We didn’t start P1 to build another gym

We built it because too many people were training hard —
and still not getting the results they should.

Most people aren’t lazy or lack time.
They’re not under-training.

They’re under-coached.

That’s the problem P1 exists to solve.

  • Featured in Manchester’s Finest, MEN, and other leading publications

  • Shortlisted for the National Fitness Awards 3 years running

  • Proud to be Manchester’s only personal training gym recognised nationally

Training should
make sense

At P1, we believe training should be:

  • Structured

  • Purposeful

  • Coached properly

Not random.
Not chaotic.
Not based on whatever happens to be popular this month.

If something doesn’t have a clear purpose, we don’t do it.

Coaching comes first

Everything at P1 is built around coaching — not volume, noise, or ego.

That means:

  • Small-group personal training

  • Coaches who actually watch and correct

  • Clear progression instead of guesswork

  • Training that fits real lives, not influencer schedules

We don’t shout.
We don’t rush.
We don’t throw people into workouts they’re not ready for.

We coach.

What “training properly” means to us

Training properly isn’t about doing more.

It’s about:

  • Doing the right things

  • At the right time

  • In the right way

  • For the right reasons

That’s how you build:

  • Strength that carries over into real life

  • Confidence in your body

  • Progress that lasts

And that’s why we focus on strength training, done well.
