It's about more than the workout
Training with me is also time to step back and ask: why do I feel like this, and why am I making this choice? Then work out what to do differently. I'll teach you to set goals and reach them.

What clients say
Hey there, I’m Dean a personal trainer working in Bognor Regis, I founded DJ Fitness & Wellbeing in 2021 after 6 years in the fitness industry.
I got into the industry because well, to put it bluntly, I used to be massively overweight, and hated it, it feels horrible when everything is a struggle, and in my case couldn’t even run around for 30 seconds with the kids before being out of breath.
After I busted my behind to go from 20 stone to 12, I realized there must be an awful amount of people who felt the same as I did, it was then I decided that I needed to dedicate myself to helping others put an end to feeling that way.
Where I am now
The weight came off, but my goals have moved on. When I started I felt like crap, had no energy, and overate to feel better in the moment. I still get that. Weight management still matters to me, but I’ve realised, as I’ve matured, that it’s a by-product. Get the other things in place first (energy, movement, nutrition, mindset) and the weight looks after itself.
What I want now is to feel energised and motivated as much as possible. I want to wake up feeling loose and ready to go, with no aches and pains, and not feel like I’m getting old. I don’t want to think about the stairs, or groan every time I get off the sofa. I want to be the fittest I’ve ever been, and to stay ahead of my kids for as long as I can: beat them in a race, lift something heavier than they can. And I want that to last into old age, so I’m still strong, moving well and independent. I want to be a beacon.
I’d love to help you get that too. I’ll also help you with your mindset: understanding your decisions and impulses, and learning to step back, slow down and ask, why do I feel like this, why am I making this decision, what can I do differently. And I’ll teach you to set goals and reach them.

What my Clients Say
What a lovely calm young man he is! He listened intently to me and he decided on a little workout routine for me! ... Getting me moving again has been his main aim and it has worked!
Seven months later I have a lovely workout with him once a week and a smaller, manageable workout that I have to do 3 times a week, at my home, to suit me....and I do it! I have lost inches from places and I am now walking at least 6000/7000 steps a day and feeling stronger in myself, able to get up from sitting with ease, lift things I used to leave for my husband to do, climb the stairs with a certainty that I will get there, get down on the floor even and get back up again...
I am enjoying life again and it is all thanks to Dean.
Mandee
Anyone who knows me knows I hate exercise, it's painful, sweaty and very boring. I have tried team sports, gym, running, power walking, aqua aerobics, yoga and spin, so a fair few things but each time I lacked the motivation to keep it going longer than a few sessions and then I found Dean at DJ Fitness & Wellbeing...
I'll admit I was nervous booking a PT and it took a few months of emailing before I had the courage to book a course of sessions but I am so glad I did! Dean put me at ease instantly, the sessions were geared at the right pace, intensity and I found myself looking forward to each one.
There were times I struggled but Dean kept up the encouragement and I surprised myself by what I had actually accomplished. I was given a meal plan with plenty of options to help stay within my calorie goals and also an easy to follow work out schedule to complete at home. I am a mum of 3, I work full time and struggle to find any time for myself but the sessions became my "me time" and for the first time in a long while I put myself first for a few times each week.
My body feels stronger, more supple, toned but more importantly I am starting to feel comfortable with how I look. Thank you Dean! I look forward to continuing the journey and for anyone who is considering the PT route than I thoroughly recommend booking with DJ Fitness & Wellbeing!

Dean has been instrumental to helping me recover from lower back issues, his calm and planned approach has helped me to achieve more normality and improved core and physical strength. A great guy who really knows his stuff and cares. Recommend without question.
