Dylan Wray

Dylan’s interest in fitness began during his university years when he worked hard to transform his body and gain strength. This passion led him to explore the connection between exercise and mental health in a research paper, which further fuelled his desire to help others. After gaining his qualifications from OriGym, Dylan became a personal trainer, specialising in guiding clients through mental health struggles like depression, PTSD, and anxiety.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to help people go from being too hesitant to step into a gym to truly falling in love with fitness and achieving goals they never thought possible.”

Dylan’s Qualifications

  • BSc (Hons) Psychology
  • Level 2 Gym Instructor Qualification

  • Level 3 Personal Trainer Qualification

What do Dylan’s students think?

“OriGym is doing a great job providing high-quality training with excellent tutors. Everything was well organised and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Would definitely recommend!”

    Sue Evans

    Qualified PT

    “I researched many fitness courses but kept coming back to OriGym. The course itself was AMAZING! The staff and teachers were fantastic, I really felt that they cared about me and my progress, going above and beyond what I had ever expected from them. I’m now a confident Personal Trainer working for an international gym chain. The future looks so bright for me; I’m even enquiring about doing a season on a Cruise ship as part of the Royal Caribbean fitness team! OriGym has helped to make my dreams come true.”

  • Heather Hacking

    Heather Hacking

    Founder of Heather Hacking PT

    “Studying part-time with OriGym to fit around family and work, I achieved my Level 2 and Level 3 PT qualifications. I found the courses to be fantastically structured and well organised, and my tutor Andy was brilliant – he taught me so much! After graduating I started my business with the sole purpose of empowering women physically and mentally. My business has now been shortlisted as a finalist in the ‘Breakthrough Personal Trainer’ category at Northern Ireland’s Health & Fitness Awards! I am very grateful to OriGym for giving me a great foundation to launch my business from.”

  • Jessica Lee

    “Although this is starting something new, it’s also building on something that I already have.I reached out to friends who have done similar courses and OriGym was mentioned as the course to go to. After I enquired, Michelle called the next day and was really organic and genuine in our conversations, whereas other providers sent a generic email where I still had to do more research myself. As an olympian a mission is to always pass on experience and knowledge. I’d look to eventually have my own company to really pass on my passion and maybe even help create a new olympian in the future!”
