40s, 50s & 60s Personal Trainer in Essex

At Vitality and Mind we specialise in working with people who have experienced quite a bit of life!

That can often result in ailments, such as arthritis and injuries.

Sadly but often, NHS services might diagnose long-term mobility and pain issues but do little to help rehabilitate patients leaving people suffering and simply managing pain.

Regular personalised exercise can greatly improve flexibility and mobility and help reduce pain or even eliminate it all together. We regularly work with people who suffer from joint pain or muscular pain.

Men especially ,might focus on the onset of “Dad Bod” and want to look better, but far more important than that is how we move and therefore how we feel and how we age.

We offer group sessions, paired sessions and 1-2-1 training sessions to suit all needs and budgets.

Every person undergoes a personal postural and injury assessment before they start with us, it is vital that we learn how you move already in order to tailor your programme to your specific needs.

Together with our nutritional advice, training with Vitality and Mind can greatly improve blood pressure, respiratory health and reduce risks of Type 2 Diabetes.

We also work with professionals such as a Physiotherapist, Osteopath, Nutritional Therapist and a Naturopathic Specialist to rehabilitate from and reverse the effects of:

Operations
Injuries
Strokes
Heart attacks
Auto-immune issues
Skin complaints
Bloating, digestion and gastrointestinal issues
Sleep problems
Diabetes and blood sugar related conditions
Other major medical traumas

Other benefits of working with us include:

Weight loss
Toning
Gaining strength

A vital part of the work we do is accountability towards a healthier and more active lifestyle, we keep in touch through sessions, messaging and phone calls.

We use a booking application to make scheduling sessions easy

I have been with Ryan, Vitality and Mind for a year now.For anyone suffering as I do with painful legs, back and hips Ryan can help with this.I was in a lot of pain when getting up from a chair and walking, also sleeping at night, regularly being woken because my legs ached.My mobility was starting to suffer and really needed to do something.I looked on social media, but didn’t want to make things worse.Ryan has been so patient, knowing when to push me that little bit more to help me to strengthen my muscles.My husband and I go together, but Ryan tailors our workouts to suit our own needs.I don’t know where I would be now if I hadn’t joined Ryan’s Gym.I can now walk relatively pain free and run around after my Grandson.I don’t believe this would be possible without Ryan’s help.If you are struggling, contact Ryan now, he has a really nice friendly Gym, you won’t regret it.Sue Cutts 😊😊

I joined Ryans's PT sessions in December 2023. It's been a great journey so far and am thoroughly enjoying the sessions. I have joined many gyms in the past and I really struggled to remain consistent and motivated. Since joining Ryan’s PT sessions I feel more motivated and confident in achieving my heath and fitness goals. Ryan is a great instructor and very knowledgeable about health and fitness and he ensures the sessions are well-planned and enjoyable, so you do not get bored. I thoroughly recommend joining Ryan for your fitness journey if you are struggling to get motivated and unsure about where to start. Ryan is very helpful and always available to provide support.

I can’t recommend Vitality and Mind enough. I always have the best time in my sessions. A good mixture of people and fitness levels but with the bonus of being individually tailored. Only a month in but so far so good. Seeing improvement in my fitness but most importantly my mood. Thanks to Ryan and Luis for all their help so far.

Had a great experience when joining with Ryan’s gym. He’s taken time to assess and coach me to improve my posture and fitness. For someone that had never been a gym member I now have three 121 sessions a week and have never felt better, more energised and motivated. Thoroughly recommend Vitality & Mind.

I started with Ryan last year, he is very experienced and went through all the issues and concerns I had with my back injury and we created a customised plan just for me. I really enjoyed my sessions from 1:1 and group sessions. It was fun, but hard work.

I first went to see Ryan for assessment, after illness, post covid and a difficult family situation had left me feeling unwell and defeated.After an open discussion and some stretches and simple exercises, Ryan said he could work with me.My focus was on improving flexibility and strength.I had been attending Yoga classes, but experiencing a lot of hip pain after each class.Ryan helped me to correct that and fully explained about my inherent strengths from previous sporting activities, and also my weaknesses.His sessions have helped me to resolve the problems I was having, and made me feel overall much stronger, with better flexibility, movement and confidence. My posture has improved and with that I even feel taller!Thank you Ryan.Joanne

Ryan is a brilliant personal trainer. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. He has been a great help to my husband, helping him to get back his strength and movement after he has suffered 2 strokes.Twice weekly sessions for just over a month have already resulted in great improvement and an increase in self confidence and positive outlook for Johnny too. Thank you Ryan from both of us.

Ryan has helped me with my mobility and success in losing weight. Always challenging, always upbeat and always ready to suggest different ways of exercising so that boredom doesn’t set in. I would highly recommend his services.

I’ve been attending 1-1 training sessions with Ryan for 6 weeks now with very positive results.When I went for my initial assessment with Ryan, I explained that I’d had numerous knee and shoulder operations with little to no physio afterwards and was suffering as a result.Over the past 6 weeks Ryan has tailored my training to alleviate the issues I’ve had post-surgery which has been a great success.My balance, coordination and strength has shown considerable improvement, which has got me to a condition where I can now also attend group training sessions to further improve my fitness.I’m very pleased with how the training has gone so far and am looking to continuing my training with Ryan to maintain and improve on the progress I’ve made so far.Highly recommended.

I have been working with Ryan for a month now and have been surprised how much I have enjoyed it, as well as working in a small group. Starting from zero fitness at 49 yrs old, Ryan took the time to listen what I wanted to achieve and tailored the session to my needs. Would highly recommend.

I have been training with Ryan for a few months now and I can already see the progress made.We worked on my back, posture & balance for the first 6 weeks and I can now really feel my shoulders and chest really starting to show after I had spent a year with a previous trainer with little to no results doing incorrect exercisesI have learned a lot about my body and muscles with the right balance of strength sessions combined with fitness sessions!With motivation and the correct nutrition / diet I will be where I want to be.Hes a great motivator and encourages you to push beyond what you think your capabilities areHe knows his stuff very well and I'm glad i have signed up with Ryan and Vitality & Mind

I’m been training with Vitality and Mind for over a year now. All of the training is specific to the individual’s needs, following a one to one postural assessment with Ryan. He targets the weaker muscles to help you improve prior to taking part in the group classes. Everybody is super friendly and encouraging, and there are no ego’s on display! There are many days and times to choose from, and booking is easy via the app. They also have a great set of body scales that not only measure weight, but looks at water intake, body fat percentage, and more importantly, visceral fat that surrounds your vital organs! Have not regretted a single moment since joining!

Ryan is fully committed to personal training and coaching. He offers a holistic approach to personal training. He conducts o postural assessment prior to starting any training journey. He then combines training with nutrition to achieve the best results he can.My son did some training with Ryan earlier this year to help him prepare for the Royal Navy pre-joining fitness test. His advice and guidance was invaluable and he passed.

Highly recommend Ryan and Vitality and Mind. Ryan is so passionate and committed to helping and educating people which makes our personal training sessions a cut above the rest. No injury or problem is too much of a challenge and Ryan always has a solution to help. After nearly 2 years of training here 100% feel like I have learnt a lot and improved my fitness and strength. Thank you Vitality and Mind😃

I've been training with Ryan for about 9 months now.I had a poor diet and my activity levels were really low so I decided to contact Ryan to go about changing my lifestyle.Ryan invited me for a postural assessment and identified alignment issues and weaker areas of my body that we needed to work on.We set to work on improving these areas during personalised strength and fitness classes.I'd had lower back issues since 2005 and with the help of Ryan and an Osteo he recommended my back pain has gone.Over time we have progressed the strength training to work on different areas of my body along with the nutritional advice that Ryan has given to make sure I am getting the most out of my sessions.Ryan arranged for a body composition test recently using some inbody scales which gave a detailed report of body fat, muscle mass and recommended calories intake.The great results on the printout backed up that all the training we were doing was paying off with above normal muscle mass and low Visceral fat.The variety in both strength and fitness sessions keeps me interested and wanting to go back which had always been an issue at previous gyms.I'd say at the age of 46 I am probably stronger, fitter and eating healthier than I have ever been thanks to Ryan at Vitalilty and Mind.

My time with Ryan as been probably the most insightful inspiring and educational time I known for 25 yearsI was incredibly positive starting my one too one sessions with Ryan and was also a bit apprehensive I’m quite old and didn’t know quite what to expect “also what my body could still do”but i couldn’t believe he’s positivity encouraging me too another levelteaching me the right way to train and most importantly how to prepare nutritionally for not only work outs but day to day livingfantastic trainer great guy
