I’m Tanvir Singh Rayet — and I’ll be the one coaching you.

I didn’t come to fitness through sport or vanity. I came to it through silence. I grew up with a stutter, and for years speaking — in class, in any social situation — was the hardest thing I did. Training was where that pressure fell away. Moving, pushing, learning what my body could do: that was where I first found my voice.

As a kid I threw myself into jiu-jitsu and martial arts, into music, into sport. I didn’t know it then, but I was learning the things I still coach today — how breathing really works, and how a single athlete, alone with the task in front of them, manages their own mind.

The quiet years taught me something else. When you don’t speak, you watch. I learned to read body language, to notice how people carry themselves, to understand behaviour from the outside in. Seeing how someone moves, spotting where the dysfunction really sits, working a problem back to its cause — that turned out to be the largest part of coaching well, and for me it was already second nature.

So when I moved into personal training, it came naturally. I’d spent my early life mastering my own training and, just as seriously, my own growth — I’ve always been a relentless reader on the psychology of how people change. I’m a lifelong vegetarian too, who built his own physique without ever eating meat. All of it, I bring to my clients now: not just the programme, but the person running it.
