Rayn Walden

Having won a competition that Scouty kindy ran, I got the opportunity to work with Rayn for a S&C session.

Great advice and tips were provided. As I’m Preparing for the Kepler this year Rayn has now created a running and S&C training plan which has worked perfectly along family and work life. It’s been such a positive and easy journey with Rayn. He listens, checks in and offers positive advice. I highly recommend getting onboard with him and the other wonderful crew under Scouty.

I've just completed my 200th workout from Rayn! Mostly online, with the occasional in-person session when we're in the same place. When I first started, I was getting back into exercise after a long period of doing very little and had quite a bit of apprehension around some weights and exercises. What stood out to me immediately was how well he listened. I felt like he really understood where I was coming from, and he was encouraging without ever making me feel pushed beyond what I was comfortable with.

The online training has worked incredibly well for me. I love being able to walk into the gym and have everything there in the app, the session, videos if I need to check an exercise, and really clear guidance around the weight and level of effort I'm aiming for. I generally train four times a week, and it's made being consistent really easy.

He's also very responsive if I have a question or need something adjusted, whether an exercise isn't quite working for me or I'm managing an injury.

My progress has been great, but one of the biggest changes has been my confidence. I've gone from feeling apprehensive about certain weights to feeling like I completely belong in the gym and being excited to see what I'm capable of next. My goals have definitely grown along with my confidence!

Since starting with Rayn, I’ve really noticed an improvement in my overall pace and endurance as I work towards my first marathon in November!

It’s been really great having a coach who can help with both running and strength training, and having a structured plan that works towards my goals.

I’ve always been a little hesitant about online coaching, but Rayn always makes an effort to keep in communication and check in on how everything is going with my training, which makes the whole experience feel a lot more personal.

I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made so far and can’t wait to see how the rest of my marathon training goes!

I can genuinely see and feel the difference since I started training with Rayn. It’s not just that I feel stronger when I’m skiing or doing other activities — I can actually measure the progress. Exercises that started at 2kg have gradually gone up to 10kg, and seeing that progression is pretty amazing.

I started training with Rayn in March this year and had never had a PT before. I also wasn’t really a gym person. I had always done classes, Pilates and group training, but had never really trained by myself in a gym.

I started seeing Rayn once a week, and he slowly taught me the correct techniques, how to use the equipment and how to train safely. After a few months, I started introducing my own gym sessions because I finally felt comfortable doing it by myself. I’ve now progressed to seeing Rayn every two weeks, and my husband has been doing the same.

What I really like about Rayn is that he takes the time to look at how you move and makes sure you’re doing things correctly. Everyone is different, and having someone look at your technique, positioning and individual strengths makes such a difference — especially when you want to get stronger without injuring yourself.

He’s also really fun to work with, explains things really well and is always available if you have questions. His online programmes are great too, with videos for each exercise, so you can easily check what you’re meant to be doing when you’re at the gym on your own.

I’ve really enjoyed the whole experience, and my husband feels exactly the same. We’ve both learnt so much and can genuinely see the results. We’re still training with Rayn and definitely plan to keep working with him long-term. It’s become a really important part of our routine, and I can’t see us stopping anytime soon!

Definitely 100% recommend Rayn!

I’ve been seeing Rayn since April and honestly… what a game changer for my running!

He’s an awesome coach, always pushing me just enough to make me question my life choices! But I absolutely love our sessions and can already see such a difference in my running.

And sometimes he actually RUNS with you too… which is soooo nice! Nothing like having your coach suffer alongside you instead of just watching you struggle!

Highly recommend Rayn if you want to improve your running, have a good laugh, and be looked after along the way.

Gracias, amigo! 🫶🏃‍♀️

I have loved working with Rayn and will continue to do so! He is always available though we do not meet in person due to distance. I am currently training for my first half marathon and I am feeling really confident that Rayn’s planning and program has me on track to achieve my goals. What is unique about Rayn is that he has listened to my goals and understands where I am at with conditioning. His workouts reflect this and appropriately push me where I need it! The app he uses is very user friendly and makes workouts simple and easy to track! I would recommend Rayn to anyone regardless of age, fitness level, or goals! He has my trust 100%!
