About me

Hi, I’m Rael – founder of RT Total Fitness.

Health, fitness, and wellbeing have always been more than just interests for me; they’ve been my way of life. But the real reason I became a personal trainer wasn’t just about my own training, it was about helping everyday people discover what’s possible when they commit to themselves.

I started RT Total Fitness because I saw too many people stuck in a cycle of stress, low energy, and lack of confidence, believing they didn’t have the time, knowledge, or ability to change. I know what it feels like to want more out of life, more strength, more energy, more balance and I’ve made it my mission to guide others toward that.

My home-based gym was built to feel welcoming, professional, and focused. No crowded spaces. No intimidating atmosphere. Just you, me, and the work that will move you forward. Whether it’s building strength, improving fitness, or reclaiming your confidence, I’m here to help you unlock your potential and create results that last.

At RT Total Fitness, it’s not just about workouts, it’s about transformation.

Client Testimonials

Elle Simpson

I have recently completed 10 PT sessions with Rael, I also have attended his boot camp fitness to thrive once pr week. I am delighted to say my progression is starting to show results! with Rael's superb expertise and a combination of hardwork and consistency the results have been brilliant.

I am steadily seeing sucess 🙌 physically and my mind set is buzzing to attend the next session.

Rael has an exceptional knowledge of the human body , training techniques and nutritional information. The programmes he designs are very enjoyable adjusting exercises and challenges to suit all individuals needs, which is reassuring and builds confidence.

Rael's approach is professional, patient, helpful and fun. Ensuring you are in a highly competent setting to enjoy a fantastic workout.

Ann Crawforth

I've been training with Rael for nearly 20 sessions. Really look forward to our training early on a Monday. Its a great start to the week. Rael plans the training sessions to your individual needs.

I wanted to become stronger, which helps me with my job as a Landscape Gardener. But also taking into account the fact Im a runner so need to avoid any unnecessary injuries. All of which the training with rael is achieving.

He's also been very helpful in nutritional needs. I have crohns disease so nutrition is a very fine balancing act! But Ive taken on board some of his advice and its helped massively in keeping energy up. I would definitely recommend training with Rael. Go with an open mind and follow his lead.

Training isn't all about looking good, it also makes your mind stronger too. You gain confidence and a more positive mind set. If you treat your body well and look after it, it will build you a more positive future! Look after it.

Julia O'Reilly

I started with Rael before summer and I cannot recommend him enough.

I suffer from endometriosis, it has been a challenge getting back into things after it invaded all my pelvic organs and needed extensive surgery. Rael listens, observes and works at your pace. He constantly checks in before, during and after the session to see how you're feeling.

I can say out of all the sessions I've done with Rael I've not had pain triggered once, which is incredible as on my own I can no longer run or go to the gym as I was triggering pain so often.

I don't consider myself a gymy or active go getter person but somehow Rael is bringing it out of me. In our last session I was determined to do another half circuit, what's got into me? I'm also looking forward to my next challenge... Very out of character for me!

It's not just the sessions where Rael helps you, he is a fountain of knowledge. He gives tips about diet, foods and little changes you can apply to life that help you thrive.

Mark Pattinson

I signed up to Rael as my personal trainer in spring 2025 to try get my training rhythm back on track after a period of injury. This was also in tandem to maintaining my cardio work as a dedicated mountain biker.

In terms of personal goals, I was looking to get to my optimum weight and fitness for a summer holiday to Asia.

Rael’s professionalism shinned through from the offset in terms of understanding prior injuries whilst setting stretched goals to achieve great results over the set timeline. We quickly went to work and had weekly sessions where Rael finds the right balance of support and healthy challenge to push you through the workouts.

Warmups, PT sessions and stretches are all incredibly enjoyable and I started noticing the results after the first 2 sessions.

I have to say I am now in the greatest shape in years and am really motivated to push new boundaries with the excellent coaching from Rael. I have signed up for a long term commitment to Rael as my personal trainer and deservedly so as he is simply the best. I would highly recommend Rael’s work.

Ann Pidd

I have been attending the Thursday 'Fitness to thrive ' sessions since the end of April. I was a bit nervous to start as I am in my 60s. I need not have worried,Rael and the group were so welcoming and supportive I soon felt at home. Everyone goes at their own pace, every week is different and the only person pushing me is me. The routines are different every week. Attending these sessions has certainly improved my fitness, I climbed Ben Nevis this month and where as I could only do one Mountain Climber when I started, I managed 50 last week. 😁

Dale Newman

RT Total helped us out with the Gilberdyke Phoenix u14’s pre-season training for 3 sessions! I must admit Rael did a great job with the lads putting them through there paces with 3 different sessions planned work on the lads strength and conditioning.
Again I’d like to thank rael for all his support in getting the lads ready for the new season.
Hopefully we can repeat this next season as part of our preparations. 💪🏻⚽️

Tammy Jarman

I joined PT training sessions around 10 weeks ago and the results are amazing , ive lost body weight and become stronger and more toned . I look forward to my session every week and I like the fact its personally planned to my needs and ability and the support I get through the training , Im definitely going to continue with more sessions

Sarah Worth

I joined this group before Christmas 2024 wanting to improve my fitness. Having attending the Monday evening classes at Airmyn I have noticed an improvement of all levels of fitness and enjoy the classes. Each week is varied and has different challenges keeping the sessions dynamic. Each fitness ability is catered for with a no pressure environment. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone no matter age or fitness level.

Sue Penistone

I've been doing a combination of PT sessions and bootcamp since January 25. My fitness has really improved and I have made some positive adjustments to my diet with advice from Rael. He is really knowledgeable about both fitness and diet and the sessions are fun despite feeling hard somwtimes. I always come away feeling really good. Can highly recommend.

Gilly Smith

I’ve joined RT Total Fitness recently for a mix of bootcamp and PT sessions to fit around my work schedule and am really enjoying the variety of the sessions.
Bootcamp sessions are varied and can be adjusted to our individual levels and having the extra PT sessions on the side each week has boosted my fitness levels and confidence as I really needed a controlled kick start to getting back into it.

Emma Barrett

I have been going to Rael for PT 1-2-1 for a couple of months now and have been very impressed with the pace and variety of the sessions.
For people like me who may lack motivation for the gym it’s been a game changer and I’m really enjoying the sessions, even though it may not feel like it at the time!
I am getting back into fitness after a quite a few years away and I would highly recommend Rael for those like me who need a kick start. I am definitely seeing and feeling the results more and more each week and the sessions are keeping me motivated.

Gemma Chamberlain

I have been attending fit to thrive sessions for a few months now and I can already see a difference in my fitness and strength. To gain strength was one of the reasons I joined.
Every session is different and I look forward to attending each week.
Rael explains every activity well and keeps the group motivated. I was very nervous attending the first session but Rael and everyone in the group was very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Sam Theakstone

Started attending Raels fitness to thrive at the end of last year, big push for me to get back into training but really enjoyed the varied classes and training we are doing. Starting to notice positive changes and looking forward to continuing with the classes. Would highly recommend anyone to us 💪☺️

Tracey Sharp

Teaching you the best way in a calm but motivated way with no judgment!
Rael makes his sessions different and fun with lots of interaction and knowledge.
He’s able to manage the group keeping a watchful eye on everyone and keeping everyone included.
The boot camps have been so enjoyable and empowering. Well worth the very sensibly priced sessions.
Rael does one to one sessions which I’ve learned so much from and it’s kept me motivated.
Would highly recommend for anyone one on a healthy journey.

Claire Crawford

Absolutely loving our fit to thrive sessions at airmyn village hall. Rael creates some great exercises and ensures variety so no 2 sessions feel the same. It’s a lovely community to be a part of and I’m glad I made it a part of my weekly routine. Thanks Rael ⭐️

Tracy Nicholls

I’ve been going to Rael’s bootcamp since he set it up in August. I’d been looking to kick start my fitness regime but hadn’t found anywhere that offered what I was looking for. Gyms don’t give me the motivation that I need. I decided to give Rael’s bootcamp a go & I’m so glad I did. Every week the session is different so you never get bored. Rael is so motivating in a supportive way. Bootcamp caters for every fitness level so you never feel like you’re competing against everyone else. If you’re looking to get fit I’d definitely recommend Rael’s bootcamp
