Ryen Teague
​
Hi, I’m Ryen — founder of RJT Fitness & Wellness.
I’m a personal trainer and coach, here to help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident inside and out.
I know what it’s like to lack confidence and feel unhappy in your own skin. Starting small and staying consistent completely transformed my mindset, discipline, and self-belief.
Now I support others to do the same in a friendly, no-pressure environment.
Whether you want to move better, feel fitter, lose weight, or simply feel more like yourself again, I’ll guide you at your own pace every step of the way.

I have over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry, and in that time I’ve seen—and personally experienced—the many challenges around eating, body image, and mental health. I know how tough those struggles can feel, but I also know what it’s like to come out the other side feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident.
That’s why I’m so passionate about helping YOU do the same. My journey has given me the tools and empathy to support others in finding a balanced, sustainable, and enjoyable approach to fitness and wellbeing. I know how amazing it feels to feel strong, energised, and comfortable in your own skin—and I want to help you experience that too.
Sarah Falvey
I live with my husband, our two daughters and our dog by the sea in Sussex. I refound my love of fitness after having children - I wanted them to grow up seeing me feel confident in my body and taking the time to look after my mental and physical health. I believe that the two are intrinsically linked.
I love being outside, especially in the sunshine! I love running, yoga, pilates, paddle-boarding and resistance training, and my training programmes reflect this holistic approach to fitness. It's all about finding the things that bring you joy so that you enjoy the journey. The physical results are an added bonus on your own personal adventure.

Hi, I’m Tom – the personal trainer here at the Saltdean Lido gym.
If you use the gym regularly, you may have seen me around helping members feel more confident and comfortable when they train.
Most people want to feel stronger, healthier and more confident – they just don’t always know where to start. Whether you feel nervous in the gym, out of shape, or simply want clear guidance without pressure or confusion, you’re always welcome here.
My coaching makes fitness simple and approachable. I work with beginners, people returning after time away, and those who want more structure – helping you train in a way that suits your level and your life.
You’ll get clear instructions, exercises matched to your ability, and steady support to help you stay consistent. There’s no shouting, no judgement, and no pressure to be perfect – just friendly, patient coaching that helps you feel proud of your progress and confident in your body again.
If you want a trainer who listens and makes fitness feel possible for anyone, I’m here to help.
Tulay
Hi, I’m Tulay — a Level 4 Personal Trainer, GP referral instructor and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) coach.
I have many years of experience in the fitness industry, and I specialise in supporting people with weight management, obesity, diabetes, lower back pain, and a range of medical conditions and injuries. I also work closely with clients through menopause, offering tailored guidance that respects how your body and needs change at different stages of life.
My approach is calm, supportive, and realistic. I believe fitness should help you feel better, not pressured or judged. Every programme I create is adapted to you, your
health, your abilities, and your goals, so you can build strength, confidence, and
consistency in a way that feels safe and sustainable.
​
Above all, I’m committed to making your fitness journey a positive experience, where
you feel listened to, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.
If this sounds like the kind of coaching you’re looking for, feel free to drop me an
email, I’d love to hear from you.
