Small group training sessions offer a cost-effective approach to reaching your fitness goals this year in which groups between three and five people train together. Small group training sessions are proven to be a highly effective choice when it comes to success because trainees feel a sense of community in their quest to reach a shared goal.
Offering unparalleled variety when it comes to exercise, small group training sessions with Vitality & Mind are different. You aren’t signing up for a class, you’re signing up for a transformative experience.
One of the big problems we see with competing group training packages on the market today, is they don’t evaluate the clients. Individuals are lumped together in a class and told to get started – which has a detrimental effect on both the experience and the results.
We offer 4 flavours of small group training, and which ones you join will be guided by your health and fitness goals.
HIIT & Boxing Our High-Intensity Interval Training class leans on Boxing to keep up the tempo and get your heart racing.
The perfect class for people working towards improved fitness levels, as well as condition their body, improve overall physique and lose weight.
Strength & Conditioning for Weight Loss and Toning Our strength and conditioning small group training classes are designed from the ground up to help our attendees lose weight, drop body fat and improve their bodies condition.
During the sessions, we’ll work towards sculpting your body and improve performance when it counts.
Strength Training Vitality & Mind strength training classes have been developed over time to help clients improve strength and increase lift capacity.
The sessions will also help increase metabolic rate, leading to shaping the body and losing weight.
Remedial Rehabilitation / Foundation Fitness Our foundation fitness classes have been introduced to help people who don’t feel quite ready to participate in the other offerings which might be overwhelming or difficult. We’ll work with you to provide analysis and advice on how to exercise safely and effectively and guide you into the other classes as best as possible.
Our group training sessions are tailored to an individual’s specific goals. Whether you’re looking to lose weight this year, tone up or need assistance with injury rehabilitation – we have a programme suitable for you.
Why We’re Different
Small group training sessions with Vitality & Mind ensure that ability levels aren’t mixed to the detriment of the group. It’s no use pairing up an olympic athlete with someone just starting their fitness journey, because results will suffer.
Each small group training client is provided with a complementary Postural Analysis session in which we work with you on some key health points, and determine where you’ll get the most out of our sessions.
On Going Support Calls / Management
I won’t leave you high and dry. Clients who have worked with me in the past to acheive their fitness goals still speak with me on a frequent basis for some free advice, to check in and discuss how they’re getting on. Just like you would with a friend.
MyFitnessPal App Tracking
Diet and nutritional tracking during your fitness journey is all handled withing the award winning industry standard MyFitnessPal, and the information provided is then reviewed, analysed and improved upon, giving clients the best possible start.
Access to exclusive WhatsApp Support Group
I provide each client with direct access to 30 years of knowledge and experience in the health and fitness industry via a private WhatsApp group. I also give clients the option to join a group of people also on their fitness journey, where they’re able to ask questions, seek advice and share ideas / recipes.
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.
Ryan is an amazing personal trainer, he has extensive knowledge, helped me rehab after knee surgery. The small groups are perfect for people of all ages and abilities. They focus of you holistically, not just fitness. Five star service!
My 8yo son really enjoys his sessions he is not a team sport player but wanted to improve his muscles and being tall is important he strengthens his core muscles. He has enjoyed his one to one sessions
6 weeks ago i went to ryan with a really bad foot that i could barely walk on 6 weeks later im virtually pain free and training upto 3 times a week with some boxing thrown in,would recomend ryan he knows his stuff and will not push you top feller he is. The 1 to 1 boxing i enjoy and again he will push you without physical stress to your body. And helping my posture to ease the problems with my foot..
A great job by Ryan who has helped me with strengthening certain parts of my body required to help with my overall posture and back condition. Great,👍I want to thank Ryan for helping me over the last few months.My knee is much better and I recommend Ryan very highly indeed.Fantastic
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
I have had strength and conditioning training over the years but stopped when the country went into lockdown and I didn't go back to the gym until 2022. Knowing I needed some encouragement and feeling nervous after a 2 year break I did some net surfing and decided to sign up with Vitality & Mind Personal Training. At my first session Ryan undertook an assessment and gave me exercises to do over the following weeks which helped relieve the niggles I had picked up from years of playing sport and also being an office worker. I was then able to push on with increasing my workload in my sessions which made me feel like I was returning to the fitness levels I had previously seen. The group sessions are effective with each person working at their individual level and everyone encouraging each other. When Ryan is away Tom is there to run the sessions just as effectively. I am looking forward to continuing my journey with Vitality & Mind Personal training with the hope it will enable me to play sport for years to come and also keep healthy into an older age.
