Back to Basics

I specialise in helping beginners with a solid foundation.

Children’s Personal Trainer in Essex

We offer personal training exercise groups for children and young people. Ages 8-16 to inspire and motivate them and let’s face it some children today need it!

We train regular people, not just those who are into sports.  We help people to improve their confidence and increase their education of health and their own bodies helping them avoid injuries later in life.

Be inspired to train correctly with a fully qualified Personal Trainer with over 20 years experience, including PE teaching in Schools.

Group sessions take place at the following times: 

  • Mondays to Fridays: 4pm & 5pm
  • Saturdays: 10am & 11am
  • Sundays: 9am & 10am

We also offer 1-2-1 sessions – enquire today!

Starting to exercise and workout can be a daunting experience for anyone but especially youngsters.  Whilst their bodies are growing and developing its also easy to cause injury during sport and exercise, so with our classes each young person will have a personal experience tailored to them and their needs.

Understanding how to exercise is a vital part of a young persons education, which means that they can enjoy a life of activity knowing how to stay fit and healthy and injury free.

Copying friends in the gym can be dangerous as we are all built differently, physically.  All of our clients are assessed individually and exercises are tailored for them.  Even following an “expert” on social media can be detrimental to your health without understanding specifics of how you move and where your strengths and weaknesses are.

Exercising also greatly improves mental health, wellbeing and cognitive functions, the more you train the smarter you can become!

I have unique qualifications that have trained me to work with children who have ADHD, SEN, other neurodiversities and physical disabilities.

The sessions will combine strength and fitness, using the latest equipment and techniques to maximise each session including:

  • Boxing, Box Fit and Boxing circuits
  • Circuit training for fitness and strength
  • Cardio workouts
  • Movement and flexibility
  • Sports conditioning 
  • Sports specific strength & conditioning 
  • Weight loss & toning 
  • Mental health rehabilitation through exercise

We undertake a free assessment before training begins and provide nutritional and information sessions that parents can attend at no extra cost.

If you have been putting off or have not been to a gym in some time like me, then I can fully recommend that you give Vitality in Mind a try!
The group PT sessions are small and concentrated with expert tuition and motivation from Ryan. Great atmosphere and feels good to be around like minded people wanting to improve on health and fitness. There is a real personal touch with this gym which I don't think you will get from the fancy gyms you could go to. The Boot Camp sessions are great fun and also a good work out. Been going for about 6 weeks and really noticed the differenced physically and also mentally. I would really recommend you give it a go!
Great Work Ryan with the gym.

I have just completed my 6 week challenge. I have enjoyed it and learnt a lot of new exercises. Attending the session motivated me to finally do something to improve my health and wellbeing. I have signed up for further sessions as the trainers are very knowledgeable and the other participants are good fun to be around.

I can’t recommend Ryan at Vitality & Mind enough! He’s been an incredible personal trainer, helping me stay motivated and teaching me the right exercises to lose weight and get fitter. With a back injury, I was always worried about form, but Ryan ensures I’m doing everything correctly to prevent injury while still making progress.

I recently completed the six-week challenge, and it was a game-changer. I learned so much about nutrition, tested my fitness levels, and gained confidence in my strength sessions. Now, I feel more knowledgeable about the weights I use and how to structure my workouts effectively.

If you’re looking for expert guidance, motivation, and a supportive trainer who truly cares about your progress, I highly recommend both the six-week challenge and Vitality & Mind. Thank you, Ryan, for all your support!

I began training at Vitality and Mind 3 months ago and I can honestly say it’s the best gym I’ve ever been to. Ryan and his team are knowledgeable, experienced and yet manage to make every session fun and enjoyable. Everyone that attends is friendly and welcoming and I’ve made some lovely friends.
Since joining, my strength has improved, I’ve lost weight, gained muscle ( which was my goal ) yet I’m eating more! Like so many women, I wasn’t eating enough but with Ryan’s guidance, Ive upped my calories, in particular, my protein and now feel so much better overall.
I recommend Ryan and his team to anyone to wants to finally discover a way to get fitter, stronger and healthier in a fun and supportive way.
