We’re all for taking proactive steps toward better health, but bone health? Not exactly the buzziest wellness topic — until it’s too late. With around 3 million people in the UK living with osteoporosis (many unknowingly), the risk of a seemingly harmless stumble turning into a fracture is alarmingly real. We heard that HOOKE Fitness — London’s high-spec wellness sanctuary in Mayfair — had become the UK’s first clinic licensed to offer the ONERO programme, we wanted find out what the hype was about.

The Lowdown : What Is ONERO?

Originally developed in Australia , ONERO(pronounced “oh-neh-ro”) is the only evidence-based exercise programme specifically designed to improve bone density and reduce fracture risk in those with low bone mass or osteoporosis. It’s backed by hard clinical science — most notably the LIFTMOR trial — and combines progressive resistance and impact training to help rebuild bone strength, improve posture, and enhance overall balance and mobility.

This isn’t your average fitness class — there are no burpees or ‘beach body’ slogans here. This is targeted, personalised, and clinically backed. It’s wellness with a mission: keeping your bones stronger, longer.

The Experience

My session began with a two-hour deep-dive consultation a specialist in the ONERO method. Begun with a screening to assess my bone health, injury history, and lifestyle factors. From vitamin D intake and posture to previous breaks. Next, a tailored a bespoke programme based on my assessment, which would form the foundation for ongoing one-hour sessions twice a week.

Who’s It For?

While it’s ideal for anyone diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, ONERO also caters to those simply looking to be proactive about bone health. Women approaching menopause (when bone loss can accelerate) will particularly benefit, as will those recovering from injury or managing family history of bone conditions.

This isn’t the trendiest programme in town. You won’t find a DJ spinning house music while you lift. But if you care about long-term strength, balance, and independence this is one of the smartest wellness investments you can make. If you have older family members you worry about then it would be worth convincing them to be checked out. ONERO at HOOKE isn’t just another programme it’s a personalised, science-backed path to a stronger future. In a city obsessed with aesthetics, it’s refreshing to see something rooted in function, health, and longevity. Because when it comes to bone health, it’s about time we stopped waiting for a fracture to wake us up.
