C. M.

Fantastic experience and brilliant coaches! My coach was Craig who pushed me far beyond what I thought I could do, hard work but worth the push, I would definitely recommend Craig but make sure you go with a positive attitude as he works you hard! ROAR is a great gym and everyone makes you feel welcome, thank you to everyone who contributed to my amazing experience!

A. B.

Working with Roar was a complete life changing event. Fitter, stronger and leaner in a matter of a few sessions and I’m still seeing regular, visible improvements. My coach, Craig Laurencin, has been supportive and encouraging throughout. Always pushing me to go further but always in a positive, calm and friendly manner. His expert knowledge of anatomy and sports science is vast and adds great value to the whole experience. Highly recommended!

A. K.

I signed up to Roar Fitness as someone who was terrified of the gym and had very little knowledge of what I needed to do to get the results I wanted - my experience so far has been life changing and I cannot recommend it enough!! My trainer Craig is an amazing trainer and has a wealth of knowledge, but more importantly he is supportive, encouraging, knows when I need to be pushed and we always have a great laugh each session. It genuinely is like spending an hour with a good friend which makes the workout a lot more enjoyable. I can’t wait to continue my journey with Roar Fitness and Craig and seeing what goals we can achieve next!

A. G.

A lot of places that offer personal training offer "results" but what really made the experience at Roar with personal trainer Craig stand out is that the process of getting the results was made as enjoyable as possible! It was a really great experience and I would recommend him personally, and Roar, to anyone. Nutritionist Matt was also great, answering any questions I had very promptly and providing great guidance along the way.

M. B.

Great gym and amazing experience so far. My trainer Conor makes the sessions enjoyable and pushing me to achieve the best possible results. Have been training with him for nearly a month now and I feel way stronger, more agile and overall feeling much better than when I started. Highly recommended!

T. S.

Can't recommend ROAR higher. I've been working with my trainer Conor over the last 2 months and I value every minute I spend with him. He's been able to take someone with absolutely zero understanding of this area and really build my knowledge and comprehension of what we are achieving. He is fantastic trainer. It's because of this that my time at ROAR is the highlight of my week - a sentence I thought I would never say. This is down to the level of service, attention to detail, and rigour that Conor puts into my workouts and nutrition programme with Matt Lindsay. It's an incredible environment and I imagine a boost to anyone who steps into the building.

J. P.

Would highly recommend to anyone who is considering getting in shape for whatever reason... From top to bottom, this place is great! The people are friendly, the gym is clean and well-equipped, and the trainers are extremely knowledgeable. For someone like myself who is ALWAYS busy, I didn't think signing up to a course would be manageable nor make that greater difference to what I do independently - but I can't stress how wrong my assumption was... My trainer Luke has been fantastic! He is always flexible on scheduling, considerate of any physical issues I have, and helps me stay focused on what I want to achieve. For anyone considering signing up, I can offer you a few tips: 1.) Just sign up, don't even think about the cost or time commitment; the sooner you're in, the better your day-to-day life will become! 2.) Don't expect changes after a week or two... It takes time to get results and most importantly you NEED to remain consistent. I would encourage a dog mentality here for both the gym and nutrition. i.e. If you want your dog to lose weight - you get them to exercise regularly and cut the treats for a couple of months - no exceptions. It's very simple logic, but reminding yourself of this during the process helps you stay on track. 3.) Get Luke as your trainer! If you can also get Matt as your nutritionist - it's a winning formula.

P. S.

Coming to Roar has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, not only is everyone so friendly and the place itself spotlessly clean but 10 weeks in and I’m over 10kgs down so far. Having never been to a gym before my PT Craig has been nothing short of amazing with his knowledge, encouragement and patience. At 42 years old I’m now fitter, leaner and stronger than I’ve ever been. I cannot recommend this place enough.

C. R.

I have used the Roar Fitness on line programme for the last 14 weeks and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I was assigned Luke as my coach and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are not able to get into London for one to one training and you have a good knowledge of using a gym then this is a great option. Every 2 to 4 weeks I get a tailored gym work out designed to meet my goals and this is reviewed weekly through a feedback process. I have progressively leaned out and built muscle and love the fact that I have a clear programme to follow both in and out of the gym, gaining results that I have not achieved elsewhere or on my own. Feedback from Luke is always motivating, honest and his knowledge and professionalism throughout the process will get you results if you put the work in.Thanks to Luke I am probably the fittest and leanest i have ever been and proud of this as i approach the big 50!

E. S.

I have absolutely loved my time at Roar and would recommend it to anyone looking to make a significant change to their fitness levels/physique in a healthy and sustainable way (i.e. not a starvation diet or getting you to do 600000 burpees a day to lose weight). The program is really intelligently put together with an incredible support system through the staff members both on the PT and nutrition side. My trainer is Conor who I have loved working with, he is super supportive and encouraging and knows when to push me or when I am flagging and need a bit of motivation. My nutritionist is Matt who I have also loved working with, he explains the science behind all of his recommendations which is super helpful especially for someone as stubborn as I am. Going to Roar was the best decision I ever made for my well-being and I highly recommend it.

S. K.

I had a great experience with Jack who is a very friendly, upbeat guy who will push you hard and help you achieve what you cannot do alone. The gym itself is fantastic with lots of equipment. I did the 12 week programme and ended it the fittest I have ever been. I would highly recommend Roar to anyone of any fitness level.

N. F.

I've been training at Roar for over 2 months and I enjoy every minute. The gym itself is nice and clean, the whole team is professional and lovely (thank you Matt, Kari and Ethan!) and most importantly- Christian is the best PT! He pushes me to do my best and achieve my goals, always with a smile and the loveliest attitude. I'm so happy and grateful for my experience there.

I'm compelled to write a review of Roar London (Eastcheap) having just got to half-way on my 12 week programme. I started on 1st December to give me focus through the dark winter months and the experience to date has been first class. Right in the heart of The City, the facilities are excellent and the photos on the wall as you walk in make you realise this is a place that delivers results. Every member of the team is friendly and engaging but special kudos to: 1) Sophie, front of house - warm, good fun and engaging as soon you walk through the door - first impressions always matter, 2) Luke, nutrition - detailed with expert knowledge and encouraging me to eat more (of the right stuff..) - what's not to like, and most of all.. 3) Sam, my PT - motivating, challenging and patient in equal measure, he does not miss a trick and his focus on form and tempo has made a material difference to my strength, shape and wellbeing. Thanks to the team for the support thus far and I look forward to more progress over the second half of the programme. Roar London carries my full recommendation; get it done.

K. E.

Fantastic time training at Roar Fitness. With the help of Luke I've gained significant confidence and re-defined my body and his approach was expertly tailored, pragmatic and honest.

S. P.

Roar was exactly what I needed to kickstart my weight loss journey! Still quite some way to go but nearly half way through my weight goal and for someone who was apprehensive about weight training, I can tell you it works!! Jiri on the personal training front was exceptional, tough and caring all at the same time. He always encouraged me to bring my best self to training and I enjoyed every session. Tom on the nutrition side is very knowledgeable and certainly an excellent coach when it comes to breaking bad habits. Thank you both very much :)

A. B.

Training with Lucie has been the best. I would never have gotten stronger, leaner, and fitter without her. Our sessions are hard and fun, and I completely trust how she is managing my progress. The winning combination of Roar is that if you put in what they ask you to in the nutrition and put out what they show you in the training, you will see results. Along the way it's been really interesting to earn about macros, and how to use previously intimidating gym equipment. I'm excited to continue training there.

A. I.

I have been training with Matt Lindsey. My goal was familiarisation with resistance training and increasing my strength. Previously, I had an ACL reconstruction, I suffer from back pain, few more aches and pains. I was worried I might injure myself in the gym. Matt is extremely experienced trainer, being an ex Olympic athlete reassured me and selected safe and appropriate selection of exercises. Trust me, I am a NHS consultant and I can say that Matt has unparalleled knowledge and continous attention to detail. My pain is gone. Now, as a stronger skier, I have just had most amazing trip to Switzerland. Thanks Matt!

I am currently 6 weeks in to a 12 week transformation at Roar and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Being a bit of a self confessed fitness junkie, and having tried various different gyms/personal trainers I can genuinely say this experience is like no other. Putting the amazing facilities to one side, what really sets Roar apart are the people. Training with Lucie over the past 6 weeks has been incredible - I have never felt stronger, and my self confidence has sky rocketed. Having been off with an injury for over a year I was quite nervous about getting back into a gym environment and lifting weights again, but those worries quickly disappeared with Lucie at hand. There aren't many people that can make a 6.30am gym session something that you look forward to, but Lucie's positivity and unwavering support definitely has that effect! Having Matt in charge of the nutrition side has been great. I really like the regular follow ups we have, and feel like for the first time I have been learning how to properly fuel my body to get the best out of it. If you are considering signing up... DO IT!! The only regret I have is not joining sooner. Heather

J. S.

My time at Roar has transformed me. After just a month I'm seeing results, a big weight loss, and look pretty different. It's been an emotional experience -- you have to work really hard both in the gym and at home to stick to their plan, but my incredible coach Jiri has made it not just possible but fun. His firm but kind encouragement has got me through some tough moments and given me a new understanding of what my body is capable of.

R. B.

Joining a new gym can be daunting, whatever your age, size or shape! Joining Roar has been a refreshing and enjoyable experience. In large part this is down to Tom Paulson, my PT. I cannot speak highly enough of his commitment and enthusiasm to each session. He works you to your limit but with such a calm and considered approach that you are driven to achieve the weight and repetitions. Tom’s attention to detail and focus on achieving the right technique, coupled with Matt’s great nutrition advice, has paid dividends during my 12 week programme. For me, training has become an important part of self-care – I have re-signed for more.

A. B.

I have been training with Nicolle for around 2 months and could not recommend her and the Roar team more highly. I have been an on and off gym person but always shied away from weight training as I had no idea what I was doing. Nicolle has been amazing at being encouraging, motivating and patient and I am really pleased with how much I have learnt in a short time. Roar is a far more positive training environment than I have experienced before, facilities are great and all of the team really friendly making it a very enjoyable place to train. I could not recommend more!

C. W.

What a team.. my time with Roar really has been transformational..! Tom's nutritional planning, advice and encouragement was really great and my time training with Femi has been absolutely superb...his knowledge, encouragement and positivity made my training such a great experience mentally and physically.. so much so I've resigned to continue my Roar journey with Femi and Tom! If you are thinking about joining...take the plunge! It really is a great place to train with a fantastic team.

S. K.

I’ve been training with Kari, and can not recommend her enough! She’s an amazing trainer always making sure to challenge you in the best possible way, and pushing you to new numbers you didn’t even think you had in you. The first session I trained with Kari, I went home so inspired because I couldn’t believe the weight I’d been able to lift. Since then I’ve been able to increase my strength so much since training with her, and see awesome progress. She’s also incredibly fun and overall just a great person to train with.

D. L.

The whole team at Roar Fitness is amazing. I am coming to an end of my 3 month transformation journey and it has been such a great experience. My trainer, Jiri, has been very supportive, professional and has provided me with excellent guidance throughout the programme. Every training with Jiri is great fun but also hard work. He listens to his clients, pays attention to their abilities and knows exactly when and how to push you for that one final rep to get the most out of you. I have never been a big gym goer, but thanks to Jiri I've changed my attitude and mindset when it comes to gym and he has taught me a lot. The only negative side is that the sessions last only 1 hour - when you train with Jiri time flies and you will surely leave the gym floor sweaty and tired, but full of positive energy :). Matt, my nutritionist, has also been very supportive, responsive and has provided excellent and insightful guidance throughout the process. I cannot be more complementary about the entire Roar experience.

A. R.

I have started to train with Kari mid Sept and I can’t recommend her enough! Coming back to the gym after 5 months, starting to train with weights.. it wasn’t easy, and it is still not easy, but Kari is always there to motivate me and help me do my best. She is very patient, gives me a lot of information about the exercises that I need to do. I think she is very good at understanding the type of client that you are, she cares about the quality of the training and finding the best solution for your profile. She is also a very good listener, I can easily talk about things I (don’t) really enjoy doing, and then she finds the best approach. I enjoy our sessions as she always has good energy, I have learned a lot of things about weight training. I feel much more stronger and happier with the strength I have! Thank you Kari! 💪🏼

I joined Roar Fitness almost 3 months ago after struggling with my weight and lack of exercise during lockdown. Having never done weight training or working with a personal trainer, I was very nervous about how my 12 weeks at Roar was going to be. However, having Nicolle as my PT has been amazing and I couldn't be anymore pleased! Nicolle has kept me motivated, been patient and encouraging about what I can achieve while teaching me so much! Not only have I seen a positive change to my weight and growing stronger while training with Nicolle, my mental health has also improved significantly. Which was a very important goal for me. Pleased to say I will continue to train at Roar with Nicolle after my 12 weeks are up! Everyone is very welcoming and friendly!!

G. B.

I’ve been training with Roar on and off since 2019 and cannot recommend it highly enough! Kari is an amazing trainer - she has tonnes of technical knowledge and has helped me navigate some injuries. She’s also very patient when I’m learning new moves! She’s definitely the reason I can’t seem to quit!

J. S.

The team at Roar Fitness are great, all friendly and exceptionally professional. I've been working with Ethan for some weeks now and his enthusiasm and passion for the job are excellent, he really knows how to get the best out of someone! I've also been working with Matt on the nutrition side who has also been helpfully in making changes so that the plan works specifically for me. All in, if you're looking for the best service from a friendly and knowledgable team, Roar Fitness is your place!

c. m.

I’ve been training at Roar since 2019 and I can highly recommend Kari. She is an experienced, skilled trainer who always knows how to get the best out of me, whilst giving me the confidence to push myself in every session. She’s also intuitive, kind and a great laugh which really helps during those killer leg days!

z. s.

I have loved my time at Roar, a true lifestyle boost. Jordan is a great trainer, his positive demeanour made my sessions enjoyable and his unwavering encouragement helped me achieve more than I thought possible. The transformation in my strength is noticeable both physically and mentally.

S. D.

Couldn't recommend Roar more strongly! Christian is an incredible trainer, so positive and motivating, always pushing me to get PRs during our sessions. I really look forward to our sessions and training with him - even when I feel totally spent! Matt is also wonderful - I didn't initially stick with the nutrition plan but I had a tell-all check-in with him and it was really motivating and helped me get on the right track and the results are speaking for themselves! It's a big commitment but totally worth it; the general feel of the gym is super friendly and welcoming and I'm so glad I signed up!

p. l.

Nicolle is a fantastic trainer. She works me really hard, but is also sensitive to any issues I have with my body. I love working with her and she is also really supportive with my diet. Coming to Roar has changed my life, I can’t imagine not doing it.

J. M.

Great place. Great people. Great vibes. I came for 12 weeks and stayed for 24. If you're looking for some dedicated training from a solid team of people this is definitely the place. Big thanks to Sam and Luke for all the help and guidance.

M. V.

I have to say that I never liked gym sessions … not until I found Roar Fitness and was introduced to Lena Aiello … my amazing personal trainer!! I have always been struggling with my weight and physical appearance and I never thought before that I would enjoy weight training let alone on a regular basis … well here comes Lena!! She is a magnificent person inside our with such a beautiful character!! My training experience with her has been exceptional…!!! her positive energy is contagious and she is so driven to get me looking my best ever!! Her knowledge in the field is endless and big thumbs up to her for being so patient with me to get me motivated even when I am feeling down … Words cannot be enough to describe Lena and her professionalism but also her inviting friendly attitude !!! I love my sessions with her and always looking forward to the next one !! I only signed up for a 12 weeks program but now I am so thrilled to continue training with her for ever!!!! If you are feeling disappointed with the way you look and you are looking for a warm and friendly smile come to Roar and ask for Lena!!! the rest is history !!! ❤️🥰😍❤️🥰😍🤗🤗🤗

S. T.

Highly recommended! I was really sorry to stop training with Tania at Roar Fitness Kensington High Street gym. I've had 3-4 personal trainers over the years, and the trainers here are in a different league. I reached my target weight in 4 months and their dietary advice is excellent. You have to be committed and put in the work, but it is easy with the support they offer.

K. O.

I trained for 12 weeks with Christian. He was a great trainer - he knew when to push, encourage and motivate me when I didn't think I had it in me to do another rep or lift a heavier weight. Really enjoyed our training sessions together! Plus , achieving my goal of doing unassisted chin ups was the cherry on top :) The nutrition check-ins with Matt were helpful too - got practical advise about building consistency into meals and stopping the binge-restrict-binge relationship with food.

A. C.

I am coming to the end of my 8 week transformation program and so far its been great. I was very worried about injuring myself or not being able to sustain the workouts... but my trainer Tom Paulson has been incredible. He always makes me feel safe, whilst knowing when he can squeeze that extra rep out of me! I would never be able to push myself in the same way without the help of Tom. I am lifting weights I never thought possible and even though it can be challenging.. it's a great feeling when you push yourself (literally!) out of your comfort zone. Thank you to all of the Roar team for being so friendly each time I visit. I will be extending my workouts for another 8 weeks and cannot wait to see how much more I progress!

D. H.

I have been training with Kari for over one year now. She is a brilliant trainer. She is extremely knowledgeable and very focused on technique. If I have any niggles or soreness, she will make adjustments so that we can still make the most of our session without causing further aggravation. Our sessions are challenging and Kari will push me, but they are always fun and we have a laugh. Whilst she works me hard, Kari is incredibly personable and down to earth, which I think is so important in a PT. She always knows what mood I am in, and when I need some extra motivation. I have had fantastic results and have extended my plan twice, which is solely down to Kari. I would absolutely recommend Kari if you get the chance to train with her!

R. D.

Been training with Lucie and absolutely loving in. I've lost weight and looking generally more toned already and it's only been a few months. Lucie is excellent at pushing me when I need it and also laying off when she can see I'm struggling. She puts together interesting programs that don't get boring and is great at correcting my technique. Highly recommend!

A. A.

I joined Roar after feeling I needed to get back into training after having my second child. I love the whole concept and really enjoyed the process. My trainer Kari was amazing and really pushed me to my full potential. She made it fun and I looked forward to each session. I have learned how to do each exercise correctly and now I have these skills for life!! I feel sad my journey has come to an end but I’m feeling confident, stronger and leaner. I’m so thankful for this journey and I’m sure il be back at some point in the future.

A. C.

Would highly recommend. I trained with Jiri who is a really friendly, knowledgeable guy who pushes for results. Great facilities, never have to wait for equipment to be free however much you might want to. Did the 12 weeks, lost a load of weight and feel years younger as a result!

M. L.

The Roar Transformation program is the best investment I have made in my entire life. My trainer Giacomo is an absolute pro - he is super helpful and incredibly focused on giving me the knowledge I need to be successful. He has taken the time to get to know me and what I’m capable of so that he is able to push me exactly where I need to go. In 9 weeks so far, I've attained a greater fitness level than spurts of Keto, Spin Classes and random internet-based exercises. If you're thinking about working with roar, stop and just pull the trigger. It will be the best decision of your life.

F. H.

Amazing facilities, great workouts and nutrition. Jiri has been an awesome PT, keeping me accountable and pushing me to workout harder than I ever did before, and the results show! Tom’s nutrition advice has made it surprisingly easy to stick to the plan, can’t recommend this place enough.

L. M. L. J.

I am 5 weeks into my programme with ROAR and I cannot recommend Nicolle there, highly enough. She is professional and caring - the perfect mix of a trainer who knows how to get the best out of you and push you too. My first nutritional/body check in, and all my numbers have gone down. ... I am deadlifting my PB and made great progress mentally and physically. I can see the abs coming :))))) Nicolle is just the best!! Thank you so much. Also want to say that everyone has been really lovely - other familiar faces in the gym are so nice to see like Ethan, Tom (P, on nutrition has been fab!) - the ladies on reception are SO helpful and Abi was the first person we met and gave the loveliest intro to what could have been an intimidating place. It's a great crew - no shouting or any "macho" stuff (that can sometimes put people off PT or gyms) and just couldn't recommend it more. The other clients too - we all have a natter in the changing rooms, and compare notes on what we're doing and how we're doing - fab, normal and sweet people! ROCK ON!!

H. R.

I have been training with Kari at Roar for nearly 12 weeks now and she has been absolutely amazing. Having worked with a few PTs before, Kari is a breath of fresh air. She makes training fun, challenging and most importantly, rewarding. We are always making progress and working towards my goals. I couldn’t recommend Kari more highly as a PT !!

K. G.

I can’t begin to tell you how positive my experience of Roar has been to date. I first started training at Roar at the start of 2019 and this was my first introduction to weight training. I originally signed up for the 12-week fat loss programme, but I stayed on for another 8 weeks as the results were phenomenal! Fast forward to 2021 and once lockdown was over, and gyms were open again I knew I wanted to sign up to another block of sessions at Roar. I signed up in April and 7 months later, I am still training twice a week at Roar, and I don’t want to stop! I really put this all down to the wonder who is Kari. Kari has broken down all barriers to me and weight training and because of her I have lost weight, my back issues have disappeared, my nutrition and sleep are better, and for the first time ever, I actually enjoy going to the gym, which is a bit of a miracle because before Kari and Roar, I found gyms intimidating. Kari – you are an absolute joy to train with (even if I do have the occasional moan) but you keep pushing me to achieve more and more and I couldn’t be more grateful! You’re a real tonic, and you’re like therapy for me! Thank you so much!

M. E.

I'm two thirds of the way through a 12 week programme with Roar and hugely enjoying the experience so far. My PT Jiri is excellent - professional and supportive, he is always meticulous about coaching the correct technique and provides exactly the right level of challenge to push me harder at each session. The facilities are top notch. Overall, well worth the investment in a quality, structured training programme.

T. S.

I joined Roar in July 2021, after quite a lot of deliberation. It is an expensive programme and I wasn’t sure whether I would (read: was motivated enough) to get the most out of it. I am so pleased that I took the plunge, and my only regret is not joining sooner. I have recently signed up for a second 12 weeks and would really recommend to anyone who is considering for the following reasons: First, the atmosphere really is friendly - I read that in reviews before I joined and wondered what it meant/why it was relevant (as my typical approach to the gym is to get in and out with minimal interaction!). But it is true! I have never once felt silly or out of place or judged, even not being typical ‘gym physique’ or confident in the move I was doing. As it’s a small gym, you get to know other clients and trainers as the weeks go on and start to feel at home. Second, the training is top class. Although I was not unfit, I had never weight trained before and was keen to make sure I was doing it properly/avoiding injury. My trainer, Kari Oyenuga, is technically excellent. She really knows her stuff and watches me like a hawk, constantly correcting my form and never letting me get away with a shoddy rep. She takes the time to explain moves thoroughly and clearly, adjusting cues/exercises if I’m not getting it. She knows I want to be able and confident to do the workouts alone in my local gym and is really prepping me to do so - for example, by teaching me how to adjust the machines as well as do the exercises. On a practical note, her flexibility on timings is v helpful, as my work schedule is not consistent and I had been worried about fitting my sessions in. I’ve probably made her sound like a strict schoolteacher (which she is in part!) - but she is also incredibly fun, motivating and encouraging, always bringing energy and positivity to my sessions. Most importantly, she makes me look forward to working out! I could not recommend her highly enough. Third, the nutrition plan is super helpful. This will always be the hardest bit, as ultimately it still relies on your own motivation. I had great results at the beginning and since then my motivation (and therefore progress) has slowed a bit - I am still losing weight but more slowly. BUT I have found it so helpful to have a tailored plan, as knowing the principles of the diet (how many calories per day, how much for each meal, % carbs etc) helps me to stay roughly on track, even when not following the diet to the letter. The regular check ins keep me honest and my nutritionist, Luke Grahame, has been great - he strikes a great balance between strict and supportive. I worried before I joined that the nutrition plan would simply be unworkable, requiring me to give up my entire social life (which no one needs after the year we’ve all had!)/feel constantly guilty, but it’s not been like that. I know I will get out what I put in and having the basic framework of a daily diet plan has made it easier to strike a balance between achieving my weight loss goals and maintaining my social life.

M. O.

I'm 6 weeks into a 12 week transformation and it's proving to be a very rewarding experience. I have the pleasure of training with Jake Dousie who is super knowledgable, patient and highly motivating. The 1 hour sessions fly by and he ensures I keep the correct form as well as progressing at a sensible but challenging rate. I always looking forward to training with Jake and feel confident he can help me achieve my goals. Weight training was entirely new to me to and admittedly a little intimidating. The atmosphere on the gym floor is anything but. All the trainers and staff are friendly and positive. Special shout outs to Giacomo and Kari who have also occasionally stepped in to cover my sessions, they're both amazing. Matt has been brilliant handling all things nutrition and is always around for a chat even when he's clearly very busy! He has tried to make the diet as manageable as possible, especially when on a higher calorie/bulk type plan. Thanks for the support and inspiration. The facilities are very impressive and it's a pleasant place to spend my lunchtimes. Can't wait to see where I can get to at the end of the 12 weeks.

A. A.

Roar and more specifically my trainer Lena got me out of a post lockdown rut I thought I might never get out of. Everything about the training has been exceptional - Lena's knowledge, patience, drive and energy have somehow got me off the daily takeouts and loving weights. If you want something soft and gentle don't bother, but if you want to change your life - as well as your body - Roar is the only option. It comes at a price and frankly it's money I am happy to pay. Save up, get to Roar and I would say ask for Lena, but please don't as I need her to train me for the rest of my life.

S. M.

I always felt intimidated in most gyms but have loved training at Roar. As a total beginner Lucie has been incredible, really taking the time to help me improve my technique and she has been fantastic at finding alternatives for me to work around some old injuries. She tailors her style for her clients and I love her great sense of humour - it really helps get me through when things get tough! She always believes in me and I've achieved much more than I would have without her - I'd highly recommend her! Sarah

Y. B.

You probably already have your reasons for wanting to join but are wondering if these guys are worth the investment and the results are real. The answers are yes and yes. I joined coming out of lockdown combined with a serious shoulder surgery (SLAP repair). I wanted to get into shape with a professional and not risk damaging my shoulder. 3 month's after being discharged from Physio I'm now lifting heavier than I have in my whole life and am in the best shape of my life. I've been seriously impressed by the experience, coaching and motivation of my PT Luke and advice from nutritionist Matt.

H. C.

I've had a great experience with Roar. The team have all been excellent. I've trained with Jake, who has understood my goals, pushed me hard to achieve results which I thought were impossible. Just generally an all round great place to train.

I did the 12 week online Roar Fitness programme and my PT was Luke Grahame. Throughout the 12 weeks, Luke worked with me remotely through a combination of videos and messaging to lift heavier weights than I ever thought possible and to become "skinny muscle" rather than "skinny fat"! I struggled with the protein portions but Luke set me up with a flexible app so that I could flex my eating around my likes/dislikes. Every 4 weeks my exercise plan changed and the exercise app showed a video of each new exercise to ensure I approached them correctly and safely. I can truly say that at the outset of my 12 weeks I did not believe that weight lifting alone without cardio could give such dramatic results! I am now a convert and continuing to practise what Luke taught me. Luke was the perfect mix of supportive/challenging and human. First rate and highly recommended!

I've signed up to Roar for the third time now, training with the lovely Kari who is great for pushing and encouraging me. Over time, Kari has worked out what makes me tick, when I'm feeling strong versus when I've had a bad day and feeling low. There has been laughter and tears! Training with Kari has helped me get stronger, not only physically, but mentally as well which is such an important factor to me. I can't say I'm a saint when it comes to the food... probably why my pic isn't up on the wall yet ;-) but training is what I love and plan to keep it up. Thanks Kari and Team Roar!

I've been training for about 6 weeks with Roar and am having a fantastic time! It honestly feels like it's flown by and I am over the moon with the results so far. I've lost a lot of weight but also feel much stronger. I have Lucie as my personal trainer and she's been so fun and supportive. The sessions are hard work but with her guidance and encouragement I feel I can tackle anything in the programme. I have done some basic weight training before but with Lucie's knowledge, I'm learning so much about proper form and new exercises. I feel like with her cheering me on, I'm working harder than I ever would on my own and feel much stronger for it. I would highly recommend Lucie! I have Matt on nutrition and he's also amazing! He's super lovely to chat with and very encouraging. The plan he's set out for me with the accompanying recipes is super easy to follow. Most importantly, I don't feel tired and hungry but actually feel great. Excited to see the results over the next 6 weeks! As for the gym itself, it's a really friendly environment to train in. I was a bit apprehensive about going to the gym again after becoming so out of shape. Since starting, I have never felt anything less than welcomed and encouraged at Roar.

B. K.

Having completed a 12 week programme with Nicolle I can honestly say I cannot recommend her enough. Nicolle is professional and amazing at what she does. I have learnt how to train on my own and what exercises to complete and how to progress the weights too. It has been amazing after lockdown and had huge health benefits in addition to achieving my body goals. Also fantastic is Matt for nutrition as he guided me at every step as to what food would help achieve my goals. Thank you to everyone at Roar.

G. K.

I trained with Ethan. He was very motivating, helpful and pushed me to the limits during training sessions. His broad knowledge and experience around sports, fitness, nutrition etc definitely goes beyond the standard ‘curriculum’. Matt was also great with the nutrition plan. I am happy with the results and highly recommend.

D. M.

I have been training with Kari at Roar fitness for the past two months and it was great! She is very professional, knowledgeable and fun! I couldn’t recommend it more, the results speak for themselves.

A. L.

I’ve been training with Femi and am so so so pleased with my progress. “Can you do a bit heavier?”….yes you can!! Loving this quiet but very significant progression tactic from him along with his ability to adapt exercises so they’re more optimal for me. Look forward to those core blasts too, they really work!

S. B.

I've been training at roar for a few weeks and I cannot recommend them enough! All of the staff are incredibly friendly and the training/nutrition they provide is really effective - as someone who struggled to build strength alone, what I've achieved so far shows that having a trainer makes a world of difference! My trainer Shannon is amazing! Her positivity and enthusiasm means that I leave sessions with more energy than when I came in! She's incredibly friendly but also challenges you to get the most out of each session. She's given me the confidence to push myself much harder in the gym and actually make progress. My nutritionist Alex is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, which has made following the nutrition plan incredibly easy. He has also helped me work around my dietary requirements (Low FODMAP), but the plan has still remained really varied and delicious!

S. P.

I have been a client of Lena at the bank branch for 6 weeks and she has helped me to transform my body already, Im seeing some fab results! I really enjoy going to work out and have a laugh with Lena and the whole team are so nice. Great vibes and good workout! Would 100% recommend Roar Fitness and Lena.

F. A.

I have joined Roar Eastcheap with coach Lucie just after the last lockdown for their 8 week program. Lucie has been an amazing coach, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks to her I moved from never having touched a barbell in my life to being at ease with weight training, and getting impressive results throughout. For the first time in ages I feel happy to be working out in a gym. I am extremely happy with the program and would highly recommend Lucie!

C. M.

I can't speak highly enough of ROAR Fitness! I signed up to the 12 week online training program and I am about to start my final phrase. I have always exercised and been into fitness but never really focused on weight training. Since turning 40, I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t seeing the results considering I worked out most days and ate healthy. Having read about ROAR and Sarah in different magazines explaining the benefits of weight training, and seeing the results on Instagram, I decided to sign up. Wow what a transformation! I have never felt or looked so good! It’s been a real learning experience even though I thought I knew what I was doing at the gym! Using supersets, the importance of resting in between sets and using tempo correctly have all been a real eye opener. The importance of nutrition has been so helpful. Introducing macros, what to eat and when, all from simple meal guides. I am eating more than I ever have! Luke is awesome! He always responds to my messages; gives feedback on any videos I send him about technique and give advices where needed. I love the weekly check in videos as its obvious he checks my measurements, looks at my workouts and reads my feedback form. He is very encouraging and motivating, which is just what you need to keep you going. Building a home gym during lockdown and signing up to ROAR has been the best investment. I will definitely continue with ROAR and Luke after my 12 weeks has finished.

A. K.

I would highly recommend training at ROAR! I've been training with Lena for the last 6 weeks and she is an awesome PT! She is super motivating and always makes the workouts challenging and fun! Matt has been supporting me on the nutrition side and he is super knowledgable and really helped change my perspective on nutrition for the better! You can tell Matt and Lena are both very passionate about what they do and helping their clients to reach their goals! The gym is a world class facility plus it is super clean and well spaced out! It really is the best training experience!

N. M.

I signed up to ROAR after spending the last year and half working from home and very little exercise (like most of the population). I knew I needed to make a change and it was one of the best decisions I have made for myself. I am coming to the end of my initial 12week programme with Lucie. Lucie knew how to push me each session and not let me give up when I thought I couldn't reach the next rep or weight level. Each week I felt stronger and surprisingly looking forward to working out and turn up each session. Lucie is very friendly and she definitely knows what she’s doing . 12 weeks have gone past in a blink of an eye. I am excited to signup for another round and see where the next phase of my fitness journey with Lucie takes me.

J. F.

I cannot rate ROAR highly enough! I did a 12 week online training programme with Luke as my trainer, I lost 10kg and I could not be happier with the results. Totally professional, patient and informative, Luke reassured me throughout and put me at ease. I had not worked with weights before ROAR and now I won’t be without weights again! Highly recommended!

N.

A five star experience! I’ve just completed a 12 week programme and it’s been a great across the board. I am a complete beginner to strength training and my trainer Giacomo has been extremely friendly, professional and supportive coaching me towards a great result. The Roar facilities are excellent and you get a highly personalised service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Roar to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals!

J. L.

I have been a member of ROAR Fitness since September last year, and I couldn't recommend them more. Over the Lockdowns and changing regulations they have been extremely cautious and made me feel at ease when working out. My trainer is Tom, and after taking me on just before Christmas, I have really seen a great difference in my body and attitude toward working out. Tom is great at teaching me how to do things safely and how different elements of our session help in the overall change in my physique. He is supportive and great at pushing me in a positive way to reach the goals that we discuss and set together, as well as with my nutritionist Matt. I have just signed on for another 12 weeks and cant wait to see the results.

A. K.

I love training at ROAR! I've been training with Tom Paulson since September 2020 and he is the best PT! He is so motivating and fun but always makes sure I'm being challenged. I don't dread working out anymore but look forward to it! I've also had Matt help on the nutrition side of things and he's really helped me change my approach to nutrition and overall healthy habits which help make a huge difference! I couldn't recommend the roar experience and team more!!

E. T.

I always wanted to train at Roar and when I decided to I was matched with my personal trainer Giacomo De Mauro. What a match! He's very knowledgeable, professional but with a great sense of humour. He doesn't let me get away with anything but still empathetic and my results after just 8-weeks are staggering. I also want to give a huge shout out to Matt who managed my nutrition for the first 8-weeks. I'm so into training at Roar with Giacomo that I bought another 6- week bundle. Can't wait to see what happens next. Would highly recommend Roar and Giacomo.

c. a.

I signed up to a 12 week programme at Roar Fitness with Lucie and it was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made. Throughout the programme Lucie has been totally attuned to my needs, taking into account any previous injuries but also pushing me to reach my goals and helping me stay accountable to the nutrition guidance from total expert Matt, whilst keeping things fun - which is not an easy combo to nail. Lucie has been an absolute pleasure to train with and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every single session, which I did not think was remotely possible. I’m getting stronger and stronger after every session and my confidence, as well as my physical and mental fitness, has improved greatly throughout my journey at Roar. I would highly recommend signing up to a programme and honestly, if you manage to get partnered with the formidable Lucie - lucky you!

T. L.

Luke and Matt are incredible! The constant motivation from my trainer Luke really does make all the difference, he always pushes me to the limit and ensures my form and posture is perfect every single time - he is incredibly results driven and I cannot wait to see my results after the 12 weeks. Matt, my nutritionist is awesome, he is always on hand 24/7 and really understands my struggles when it comes to the food side of my training and together we make modifications to suit my lifestyle. Couldn’t recommend them both enough - (expect tough love from them both!)

P. K.

I've been going to the gym for 6 weeks and I'm super happy with my results! It's all thanks to my amazing trainer Lucie!! I highly highly recommend training with her!

A. K.

I had amazing time with Lucie, she knew how to push me , I had know idea how heavy I can lift until she made me. Each week I felt stronger and stronger . Lucie was very friendly and she definitely know what she’s doing . Weeks past so quickly but I learn a lot , got great tips and the end so I feel confident now do it by myself . Also my nutritionist Matt teach me that yes I can eat a lot and get leaner and stronger and that’s fantastic . No more little salad for lunch no more skipping meal . Now I know food is the key and that I need push myself and lift heavier and heavier. Thank you so much Lucie and Matt . Definitely recommended ROAR

M. L.

Been training with Tom Bulman the last 5/6 weeks and love it! (Shoutout to Jack Pressling too who covered a few sessions!) Sessions are well planned and tailored to you - with the trainers always pushing you to your max. My knowledge pre-Roar of weight training was non-existent, so great to feel extra strength with every workout, and feel like I'm getting educated on how to train and fuel appropriately (my relationship before with gym and food was poor!)

M. L.

The Roar team are all very friendly, helpful and professional. I just ended my 12-week package and already extended it to another 12-week training. Love it and feeling stronger. Thanks to my PT Tom Bulman, very professional, very helpful and very nice.

K.

Working with Matt (PT) has been completely transformative. Matt is very good at his job and is clearly incredibly passionate about what he does. He is an excellent communicator and listener and he quickly learned how best to motivate and challenge me. My sessions with Matt are structured, educational and tailored to my aesthetic and strength-based goals. He is clear and efficient in giving instructions and he has an unfaltering focus on form and technique and the safe execution of each exercise. The nutrition check-ins with Luke, who is professional and knowledgeable, have helped me to maximise my results from the training and gain a solid understanding of the basics of nutrition for life inside and outside of the gym. I signed up to Roar as a beginner to strength training with a view to learning how to train efficiently and effectively (after burning myself out with a cardio intensive regime pre-pandemic). I will walk away from the experience not only with greater knowledge, strength and confidence, but also an overwhelming amount of gratitude to Matt for helping me to reset my headspace and see my body (and what it can do) in a completely different light.

A.

I LOVE training with Lena at Roar. She brings so much joy, energy and enthusiasm to the gym, and this together with her clear passion for fitness and excellent fitness knowledge makes every session both super fun and super valuable. It really feels like she cares about and is invested in my progress - she teaches me loads about form and technique, helps me to work hard and never lets me slack. She knows exactly when to challenge me to go heavier or try something new, and she’s an amazing cheerleader – with her guidance and non-stop support I’ve really surprised myself with what I’m achieving. I can absolutely see, and most importantly feel, the results – since training began 6 weeks ago I am already stronger, leaner and genuinely feel so happy and boosted. Could not have asked for a better training experience – at the end of each session I’m literally buzzing and can’t wait for the next one. Massive shout out to Matt too, who has been fantastic with his nutrition advice. It’s so useful to have regular check-ins with him to discuss goals. With his help healthy eating has become more instinctive and I feel like it’s something I can sustain with ease and enjoyment. Thank you to such a supportive, friendly, professional and generous team!

J. B.

NOTHING SHORT OF PERFECT. If you are like me, where you are naturally anxious about the quality of the trainers, given the price you have paid - then I can assure you, like Patrick Bateman walking into Espace, knowing he had a good table - the relief will wash over you, in the most awesome of waves. You are probably wondering why I am so jubilant - one word: Lena. She has given me the hunger to want to perform better and better, every time I come back to Roar - while keeping me buoyed so as not to fail or slip up on the 12 week programme. I genuinely feel like I have got the best trainer at Roar, and I am sure, having now been going for 4 weeks - that everyone will feel the same with every trainer at this facility. The training is world class - and I could not be happier with the direction Lena has got me heading in. I just feel sorry for the poor sod I will be knocking off the wall. NICE.

D. W.

Nearing the end of this brilliant 12 week training program and can't speak highly enough of the gym, the program, and my trainer, Jack. The gym is gorgeous, with all top-notch equipment. The program is perfectly planned out, progresses well and works the full body effectively. But the key is in the amazing trainers and Jack is definitely one of the best. Very knowledgeable, extremely motivating, keeps me constantly challenged, and still manages to make the workouts fun at the same time. Can't recommend Roar and Jack enough!

P. M.

Coming to the end of my 12-week course with PT Jake and it's been amazing! Jake guided me all the way through from not training due to a back injury to lifting the heaviest weights I have lifted (all through a measured and safe programme). Combined with their nutrition plan, it's the healthiest, strongest and happiest, I have been in years. 100%!!!!

R. S.

I have been training at Roar fitness for 4 weeks, so far I have found the experience to be the most professional I have come across in the fitness world. From the facilities, staff, atmosphere and right the way through to the equipment, everything is second to none. My trainer is Tom Bulman and he has been a massive part of my journey to date. He is supportive, encouraging, down to earth, knowledgeable and he pushed me to my limits. No screaming, shouting or anything like that....just bundles of encouragement and that works for me. So far I have lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of muscle, so I have zero to complain about. I thoroughly recommend Roar to anyone who is looking for a unique PT experience. Richard S

D. A.

I had Lucie as my trainer and Matt as nutrition coach, they are both fantastic! Matt is very supportive and knowledgable, tailors the plan specifically to my needs so I don’t feel very “hangry” all the time while diet. Lucie is the best trainer i could ever get! She is super fun but always pushes me to be stronger. Very professional and positive, has all the ways to motivate me and get me going harder and stronger! Already signed up to keep training with Lucie and Roar~

A. M. S.

I couldn't recommend Roar fitness enough! I've had such a great experience with my AMAZING trainer Luke, who has taught me so much and been so motivating every step of the way. I felt so supported throughout the process, in part because of the detailed feedback and progress tracking, but also because Luke was always there to help if I had any questions. It really felt as though he took my goals as seriously as if they were his own. If your on the fence about signing-up with Roar, do it - you won't regret it!

D. R.

I’m approaching the end of my 12 week program and truly feel like I’ve learnt a lifetimes worth of knowledge. A whole staff of infectious positivity and drive, they impart their wisdom on you to help bust through the myriad of health and fitness myths that exist. I won’t just take away the transformation, I’ll take the foundations to keep progressing and looking after myself which is invaluable. Supported by many people, including Matt, Alex and Josh, the biggest thanks go to Giacomo who trained me, supported me and never let me fail. Giacomo has shown great attention to my form, amazing communication to help me understand his requests and made every session a delight with his laughter and encouragement. Giacomo was as invested in my results and progression as I have been, and my results say it all. What a guy! If you’re worried about the idea of a nutrition plan - don’t be! The plan and options here are insane, I eat more of the foods I love now than ever and that starts from a big meaty breakfast. Sticking to it is a pleasure, no pain in sight.

V. M.

Make your life simple and don't shop around too much if you're looking for a private gym or transformation program. Roar will meet all your needs and you'll see the results very clearly yourself. I started with a 12 week program and ending up coming back for 6 more weeks, having met all of my goals on both occasions. A specific shout out to my trainer, Tom, who is excellent at what he does. Kind, patient, knowledgeable with no undue pressure or judgment. Always pushed me hard but never so much that I wasn't eager for my next session. If you're willing to make the investment in your own health - highly recommend doing it here, and with Tom specifically.

G. g.

I didn't train myself for the last 15ys despite many gym fees paid! With Roar (Kensington) - especially Jordan my PT - it was different. I've had a great experience, during my 12 weeks, 3 times a week journey. The entire staff is excellent. I've trained with Jordan, who has understood my goals, pushed me hard, and been consistently supportive and professional. I am so addicted now that I will come back after the summer holidays (1 or 2 days per week to retain my improvements and beyond)

L. L.

Giacomo was an incredible trainer. He always pushed at just the right level and made me feel totally secure in my capabilities... but I knew he was there to catch me if I failed! He was kind and patient, put up with all my grumbles, and kept the sessions fun, whilst never letting me off the hook. It was exactly what I needed to achieve my goals. All of this resulted in the fastest and safest progression. I was constantly surprised with what I could lift at each session, and ultimately how far I could travel in 12 weeks. Thanks so much to the whole team at Roar… but especially to Giacomo. I am delighted with my results and I couldn’t have done it without you!!!

N. B.

I never write reviews but this one is overdue for Roar fitness. I trained with Roar over two years ago, doing two courses bak to back [because the results were so good] and am back now for another 12 week course post lockdown. I can genuinely say, it's always delivered both in terms of weight goals/nutrition but more importantly the level of fitness and strength this team can offer. Tom Bulman, my PT, is so positive and supportive but also really specific about movements and precise about form, I'm confident I'm doing everything I can to get the very most out of every minute I spend at the gym. It's a really satisfying way to train, regularly surpassing your own expectations and limits does make you feel strong in every way. Big thanks to Sarah, Matt, Josh, Nicole, Tom and all the team.

E. T.

Honestly Lucie made me fall in love with exercising again. I feel strong, healthy, and ready to kick butt ahead of my wedding. She was a fantastic guide and great fun - but also pushed me hard. Matt on the nutrition was also brilliant, and has helped me create great nutritional habits for the long term (learnt a lot). Would recommend, especially if you are preparing for a big moment / wedding. I did the 8 week programme, but would 100% go for the longer - I will definitely be re booking. Can’t imagine getting through a workout now without Lucie!

S. D.

I've been training at Roar with Lena for 7 weeks now and I'm really enjoying it! I've been really impressed with Lena's knowledge, motivation and attention to form; her smallest tweaks to form have the biggest impact on intensity, and I always come away feeling like I've trained really well even when we're pushing the weight. Quality is never compromised in this gym! Having previously trained at other, larger gyms, it's also refreshing working in a more intimate space where there is a 1:1 client / trainer ratio and you feel surrounded by like minded people. The hour sessions are flying by and I've already decided to do another 12 week programme when this one ends. Matt's nutrition programme is tailored to your individual goals and requirements and, although it's been strict, the kilos are dropping off in a really steady / healthy way. Regular assessments help make sure that you stay on track. It's awesome, there's nothing not to like about Roar.

L. S.

I signed up to Roar Fitness for a 4 week online program as lockdown lifted, as I wanted to get back in the gym. I have always trained but never really with a consistent and detailed plan that was designed with a really good understanding of nutrition. I was excited to see what could be achieved if the right thought and effort went into it. Luke was a brilliant throughout the program, and fully took into account my body type and my specific requirements. I could see results after the first week when I looked back and compared pictures, and there were significant changes after 4 weeks. At the end of the program I had moved towards what I wanted to achieve, and importantly took away knowledge that I can carry forward after the program.

F. M.

I am now in my third week of training with Jiri at Roar. Wow! I cannot believe in just a short space of time I have lost nearly seven kilo's. Jiri has an excellent attention to detail and technic and will lead you all the way to a much healthier life style. I still have 9 weeks to go but already I feel great !

A. S.

I signed up for online training at the end of 2020 when I’d stalled in my own training. Luke was a great trainer, guiding me on my journey from a newbie into someone who knows how to train properly and eat well. I now know what makes a good training plan, building good supersets, the importance of rest between sets, using tempo correctly, and the benefits of measuring my workouts and improvements. Nutrition was a big part of the plan, introducing macros, what to eat and when, all from from simple meal guides. The first week or two were a bit of a struggle - to eat that much food - but it was worth sticking to it! Luke gave clear instructions throughout my plan. He was always looking to tweak my nutrition plan based on my weekly feedback. My workouts considered the limited equipment I have at home, and introduced me to a load of new exercises - with written and video how-to guides. Luke encouraged/pushed me as needed. He always responded to queries quickly and with clear advice. An all-round fantastic trainer. I’d thoroughly recommend a Roar online training plan if you can’t make it to one of their gyms.

S. G.

I have been working with Roar now since gyms opened back on April 12th and 5weeks into my journey. In that time I have followed the Roar Fitness Diet and currently in Phase 3 of my training. Christian has been amazing during this time. He has pushed and educated me (coming from very little gym knowledge and experience before) I am now lifting much heavier weights (more than I ever thought I could) and given me a positive outlook on the transformation journey. I also have specific tightness/weakness in my left shoulder and he has curated additional exercises to tackle this and incorporated mobility exercises into the training plan. I can not wait to see what my remaining 7 weeks hold but the experience so far has definitely been worth it!

S. O.

Nothing but positive words to say about ROAR Kensington, every time I attend the gym, I am welcomed by polite and lovely reception staff. I have been on my 12-week transformation for six weeks now, my trainer is James Monger, and my nutritionist is Alex Smith. James has helped me fall in love with training again whilst also allowing me to fall in love with myself again. I have so much more confidence now, and I wore a summer dress for the first in a year last week. James is highly knowledgeable, and I have learnt more with him in six weeks than I did training elsewhere in a year. My training with James is always clear, I always know the steps in my training, and he is honest about what is required. IT IS VERY HARD. But so worth it. James is very professional and always pushes me to believe in myself in my training, helping me achieve and hit my Personal best. He is always friendly and welcomes me every time with a positive attitude. I love my training again and could not imagine training anywhere else. Alex is also highly supportive and very professional. I was extremely nervous in my first weigh-in; I did not have much confidence and felt very self-conscious. However, Alex managed to relax my nerves and supported me through the whole process. He was candid with me about lifestyle changes and explained what was required to succeed and achieve my target weight. He is very supportive and a lovely person. We are in week six, and I have already lost over a stone, but more than that, I am happier and more confident. Thank you, James M, Alex and Team ROAR.

I joined Roar for a 12 week programme in August 2018 and was in pretty bad shape physically and mentally. My trainer was excellent Ethan Kenny who is an incredibly patient (I could be a nightmare, sorry Ethan!) and knowledgeable PT who clearly loves all things fitness. Ethan taught me how to lift correctly and weights that I never thought possible, listen to him as he knows! After 12 weeks I had lost 10kg and enjoyed the journey so much that, after a few weeks off, I continued training with Ethan for another 5 months and lost a further 5kg. It was not easy, but I highly recommend both Roar and Ethan. Thank you!

W. S.

I am just coming to an end to my program at Roar and couldn't be happier. Jack has been great trainer and I could not have expected more support over the last few months. My 12-week plan was broken up by 2 lockdowns but Jack and the team were great in supporting me even during the times when the gyms were closed with at home workouts and nutrition advice. I feel I am ideally placed to carry on my training independently moving forward and can't wait to see how far I can take it, knowing I will always be welcome back at Roar in the future for another program (or two). Thank you!

b. m.

I have trained at Roar for over two years and would highly recommend my coach Ethan Kenny (and Josh Faux who has helped me with nutrition). I initially joined for weight loss and dropped 24kg in my first 3 months. The process was life changing and I discovered that I enjoyed weight training. Since then I have worked with Ethan to change the shape of my body and grow muscle mass. Ethan has been there for me every step of the way and is always pushing me to achieve new goals. The gym is modern, well equipped and spacious. As someone who did not start the gym until their 40s the friendly environment helped me overcome feeling intimidated. I now regard a number of the trainers and fellow gym goers as good friends. I would recommend this experience to anyone.

M. U.

I'm a month in and I feel (and am!) stronger than I've ever been. The Roar gym is such a positive and motivational place that I look forward to every session. My trainer, Christian, manages to push me to my limit EVERY session but is so encouraging that it's actually fun. He's awesome. I've made more progress in 4 weeks than ever I thought I would. I don't want it to end!

C. K.

My experience at Roar was life changing! I had an incredible personal trainer, Ethan, who encouraged & educated me in every session whilst still making them fun. Combined with solid nutrition coaching from Josh, I learnt skills for life (with the results to show for it) and would highly recommend to anyone!

E. M. -. N. D.

I have been training with Lucie for a couple of months and she is absolutely great! Very serious, dedicated and motivating. She knows what she is doing, and careful with past injuries. And we have a lot of fun training together. I barely see the hour going by! I very much look forward to my training sessions. Just sign up with Roar and ask for her!

A. J.

I've been here for 3-4 month stints twice - once in 2019 when I'd never really done weight training and then again after lockdown ahead of my wedding to build on my past experience. Both times have been absolutely great, mainly thanks to the individuals I've worked with. My most recent trainer, Lena Aiello, is an absolute super star. We have made the most astonishing progress and I've got loads stronger. She is such fun to spend time with too and I look forward to every session, and to catching up with her. She has improved my form massively - she has a very clear way of explaining things. Nothing is too daunting or too difficult when training with her - she is endlessly encouraging. She is also a phenomenally hard worker, always going the extra mile and making sure that I get the most out of my experience. I've been working with Matt Lindsay on nutrition (who I knew from my previous visit) and he's absolutely great: the loveliest guy, super knowledgable and diligent and really excellent at his job. Last time around I was training with Matt and that was terrific - I learned loads, and it gave me a long-term love for weight training. Like Lena, he was incredibly encouraging. The lovely Josh Faux provided nutritional support and he was absolutely ace too - calm, warm, reassuring. The great thing was the results were sustainable and I felt able to continue training independently afterwards so that my second time around I hit the ground running. I expected to be intimidated but the team are so kind, understanding and welcoming I couldn't have felt more relaxed. It was a considerable investment for me and I saved up for some time before joining but I've not regretted it once.

C. H.

I'm half way through my transformation with ROAR - it’s been a rewarding, positive experience & I’m only half way through. I’ve been training 3 times a week with Christian Heenan who has been incredible - factual, empathetic, motivational & hilarious! I’ve also been having regular check ins with my nutritionist, Matt Lindsay, who has been keeping me on the straight and narrow food-wise & there’s never a dull moment. There’s a true sense of community here & I’m definitely feeling physically & mentally stronger and in an environment that’s friendly & non intimidating. Can't wait for summer!

Lena Aiello is a rare find in that she is one of the most excellent coaches I have ever had the total privilege to work with. She adapts her style to meet individual client goals, challenges you just at the right point beyond your comfort zone to personally change to meet your goals, and is great company at the same time. 5 stars!

S. K.

I have been training at Roar over the last few months and can honestly say that it has been a great experience so far. The team are so friendly and professional and amazing at what they do. I have learnt a tremendous amount about weight training and nutrition which will now change how I approach fitness. My amazing trainer Matt is always so patient with me and makes my sessions challenging and enjoyable at the same time with his positive approach. It has been extremely motivating to not only see the physical changes but to be able to lift weights (with the correct technique) that I never thought I could. My nutritionist Alex has also been great, answering all my food related questions and guiding me so well in an area that I had previously neglected. Signing up to Roar has been one of the best decisions I have made!

O. F.

I’ve been training semi competitively for a few years now, but I’ve never had an experience like in Roar- The facility- is always clean, never to too busy and the gear is always in top shape. The supporting staff- are always friendly, personable and helpful. The nutritionist- Luke is available and constantly works towards tweaking the plan based on needs and performance. Finally and most importantly- the trainer. Christian takes a holistic approach, pushing you to your limits (and beyond) on both training and rest days. Always looking to balance and strengthen weaknesses while drilling down and honing strengths. This is all done with a personal, relaxed and highly professional approach. Just the best.

I started training with Jake D at Roar Fitness just before the last lockdown and just wish I had joined earlier. Jake is a first rate trainer - so motivational and likeable - he knows how to get the best out of me in every single session and pushes me far harder than I would ever push myself. Every session finishes with the greatest sense of achievement and I have Jake to thank for that!

O. T.

A genuinely exceptional service. My trainer was Lena and she was incredibly professional, motivational and really pushed for results each session. Thoroughly enjoyed every session with her and would happily resign! Very much worth the money.

R. D.

I've just complete the 8 week program with Lucie, and am probably going to renew to do it again. I was nervous to use a PT as I've never done it before, but Lucie made it very easy. It's been a pleasure to train with someone who is so professional and really pushes you, while also making me feel at ease and look forward to training. Really has been great so far!

K. M.

I’ve been back at Roar after lockdown interrupted my training, with coach Luke Grahame. If anyone has ever questioned the value of a PT, you need to train with Luke. He ensures you’ve got correct form, that you maintain tempo to maximise your workout and always pushes you harder than you thought you could go. It’s not easy, but it’s fulfilling, you learn so much and their results speak for themselves. I was a complete novice to weight training and some gyms seemed really intimidating - the Roar environment however is super welcoming and encouraging. I can’t recommend it enough.

J.

I've had such a great experience at Road and in particular with my PT, Lucie. Lucie took the time to understand my goals and has also made sure that I've achieved them while making me laugh along the way! I couldn't be more grateful for all her help and hard work.

T. K.

I have been training with Christian Heenan for 3.5 weeks now. He is a top bloke - always pushing me to get to the next level, whilst appreciating my limitations and level of my strength. So far, I have lost a good amount of weight, my skin fold metrics have improved considerably, my strength and mobility have increased and I am doing a lot heavier weights now. Matt has also been keeping an eye on my nutrition and is helping me stay focussed on my goals. All in all, a very positive and rewarding experience.

D. B.

Training at ROAR Fitness has been a fantastic experience. I completed the 12 week transformation programme and learnt so much about fitness and nutrition which I can take forward. Jack Pressling my PT was brilliant. He really knows his stuff, is genuinely passionate about what he does and he motivated me big time. Best trainer i've worked with. Highly recommend the whole experience!

S. B.

I’ve had a great experience at Roar, really professional team who’ve created an amazing environment. I’ve been training with Femi who’s been great, really knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive – couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

E. G.

I had an incredible time at Roar Fitness. My trainer Jack was excellent - the sessions were tough but I looked forward to them because Jack was motivational and great company. The results have been incredible, and I feel like it's given me a great basis to continue with a sustainable regime to hopefully maintain them. Josh was very helpful and encouraging when it came to my nutrition - he always made sure what I was eating worked for the results and also fitted in with my life. Also, the gym has been very responsive and cautious when it comes to Covid 19 - I never felt unsafe whilst working out and all the trainers were very conscientious. All in all, a great experience!

M. B.

I've had a great experience with Roar. The team have all been excellent. I've trained with Giacomo, who has understood my goals, pushed me hard, and been consistently supportive and professional. Just generally an all round great place to train.

T. H.

I recently started my training programme with Giacomo and it's been a fantastic experience so far. Giacomo is an incredible trainer - a real professional, a great motivator and a friendly teacher. I can't recommend Giacomo and the Roar team highly enough!

A. M.

Forever grateful to ROAR as I was finally able to find a place that made me go back to exercising after more than 15 years, last chance indeed! Amazing people in the staff (trainers, nutrition and admin) and of course special shout out to Giacomo that managed how to make it work for me.

A. G.

I signed up around 2 months ago to the Roar Fitness Online Training and was introduced to my PT Luke Grahame. Luke has been amazing help and has pushed me to new heights in my training. The online training is great because it's tailored to you and what equipment you have access to. After the completing the consultation form my plan was ready for me to start which included nutrition guides, recipes and exercise plan which have changed as I entered a new phase of my plan. Since starting this plan its given me the discipline and structure I need to reach my body goals and I can safely say I am very happy with the results so far. I've become more confident in my body and been able to push its limit with Luke's help. The weekly check-ins with Luke are great, it allows you to get that extra motivation and provides you with any feedback or changes that need to be made. I'm glad I decided to go ahead with the Online Training with Luke, I wish I had started it earlier. I'm excited to see how much more my body will transform. I would highly recommend the Online Training to anyone that is looking to transform their body.

L. C.

Lena is the best trainer I’ve ever had! Completely motivating and super knowledgable, she really pushes me to achieve my goals. I’ve messed around with weights before but always felt quite self conscious in the free weight section of a gym. I would never have progressed to lift what I now can under Lena’s careful guidance. She is patient, explains things in a way I can understand and always makes me perform to my limits - there’s no getting away with slacking under her watchful eye :-) I wanted to improve my strength partly to avoid injury when running. I have really noticed a difference. It’s a big thank you from me!

B. M.

I started at roar 3 weeks ago and can honestly say its the best thing I've ever done! I've lost 9.8kg in 3 weeks and still have 9 weeks to go.Matt has guided me with the nutrition and my trainer Christian has been absolutely amazing.He has pushed me to achieve results I never thought I could. Can't wait to see what to see what he has in store for me in the next few weeks !!!

O. T.

Signed up to roar for a 12 week package back in August and it was honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. My trainer was Alexandra and my nutritionist was Matt and they seriously knew their stuff! Alex is by far one of the most attentive, professional, effective and personable trainers that I have come across. She pushes you each session, ensuring both results and a lot of fun! I have been so impressed with my experience at ROAR that I am planning to sign up for some more weeks in the new year! Thank you Alex and Matt x

J. L.

I currently train with Jake, and have only had a couple of weeks but already can feel a difference in my attitude toward exercise. Jake is super friendly and had great motivational skills, but quickly established where my limits are and is careful not to push beyond that, however still maintaining the tough and encouraging demeanour I need to reach my goals! I’m really enjoying learning about new equipment, how each one effects the body in different ways, and pushing myself a little more each session. Roar fitness is a clean, minimalist and modern space which makes working out safe and efficient. All the staff are very kind and helpful, couldn’t recommend it more!

D. S.

I’ve just completed a 12-week training programme with Jake after having renewed a number of times – testament to how brilliant the team has been and how much I’ve enjoyed coming to Roar. I was a complete novice to weight lifting and Jake has been incredible, coaching me through some of the most basics but making it increasingly challenging each time to the point where I’ve made significant progress. My experience with Jake has been a major contributor to signing up for longer. Extremely talented trainer and great to work with. He’s been unbelievably patient answering all my beginner questions and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed coming to the gym for my sessions. The 12-week programme was interrupted by COVID but the support the team have provided has been second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending a programme with Jake and Roar, the entire team have been top-class.

T. S.

I have thoroughly enjoyed training at Roar, Lena has been amazing and making sure we get results... She is by now as much my trainer as my therapist and have helped me destress and disconnect from a very demanding project at work. She is always incredibly positive and knows how to motivate me to give it my all! Thank you Lena, you are a star 🌟 even when we are on no talking grounds about 75% through 🙏

H. H.

Nicolle is a fantastic trainer. She really pushed me and kept her eye on my form throughout. Thank you for introducing me to the world of weight lifting!

S. B.

Working Lena is an absolute dream! I'm so grateful to have the opportunity. I'm only part way through, but so far she has been like my own personal cheerleader, who has lifted me up, made me laugh and pushed me to always put my all in!

N. I.

Never felt compelled to leave a review for anything until Roar. The results, just a month in, speak for themselves and are significantly visible. All credit to Alexandra as a trainer, she is the antithesis of what a stereotypical PT is like - empathetic, gently motivating and able to magic the impossible: make me look forward to early morning sessions in the gym and actually *enjoy* working out. She is so good at pushing you further without you even realising how much harder you worked and just has a lovely, calm, manner that goes a long way to make the whole experience a positive one; I can’t recommend her enough! Another key plus point: the gym itself is free of the sort of competitive, meathead aggression found in rival places which is a huge bonus, especially given it’s all about weights. Didn’t even realise how little I enjoyed cardio/how ineffective it was for me until I started strength training.

A. J.

I can’t recommend Roar Fitness enough, my only regret is that I didn’t sign up sooner. The tailored approach to both nutrition (with an individualised, easy to follow programme) and exercise (with my brilliant personal trainer, Jordan Bunting) is manageable but has also pushed me in ways I would never achieve on my own or from generic gym classes. Everyone at the Kensington branch are so warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend and if you are thinking of joining, I would definitely recommend asking for Jordan!

A. M. C.

I've been training at Roar for about a month and am already hooked! It has been an incredible experience so far - entirely because of my trainer Thomas Bulman, who I can't recommend highly enough. Tom is incredibly friendly and approachable, which for someone like me who is uncomfortable and unsure in the gym, let alone the weights area, is really important. I've always enjoyed fitness classes and was (pre-lockdowns) in decent shape, but would never have ventured out of my comfort zone into the weights area. Having put on a metric ton of weight over 3 lockdowns (!!!!) I wanted something that not only would work, but would help me develop healthier habits and teach me more about fitness as I got older (*sigh*). It's been everything I expected and more - Tom has me lifting weights I'd have hardly managed to pick up 4 weeks ago and has kept me smiling the whole time. I know at the end of the 12 weeks I will have the best results, but more importantly I will come away from this with greater confidence and belief in myself. Thanks Tom!!

H. K.

I signed up to Roar at the end of August for the 12 week programme. I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. My trainer Tom has been amazing, always supportive but pushing me in the calmest and nicest way. I’ve made more progress with my fitness than I ever thought possible, and that’s because of Tom’s support. My nutritionist Matt has also been great, I’ve learnt so much about how to use food to fuel my workouts and now feel equipped to make much healthier decisions in the future. I’ve just signed up to another 12 weeks and can’t wait to see what I can achieve.

T. R.

I have been training with Nicolle Smart for a year, she has helped transform my attitude to fitness and introduced me to the benefits of weight training which has had a significant transformation for me. Sadly training has been stalled for a while but she continued to provide support throughout lockdown, ensuring I don't lose momentum. Can't wait to get back to the gym .

Z. V.

Although I occasionally have to leave London, I return to Kari every single time I am back, no matter how brief the period may be! Training at Roar has not only made me far too excited about seeing how heavy I can lift, but it has made me more confident in my form and ability when I'm training alone. Even from afar Kari pushes me to get better so that when I am back we continue as though I never left. Above all both the team are the best because of how welcoming and encouraging they are!

C. N.

I am thoroughly enjoying my workout experience with my trainer Thomas Bulman. Thomas is very focused and serious about giving me the best work out experience possible. He always takes the time to explain the moves and cares that I understand the science behind it. Highly recommend Thomas as a trainer.

M. V.

Coming to the end of my 12-week programme at Roar Fitness and I can honestly say the experience and results have exceeded my expectations. Jack truly is an exceptional trainer always maintaining a positive, professional and motivating attitude which has pushed me through every work out session. His attention to detail and technique through every exercise has help me improve on form and strength to a level I never imagined and he’s always supportive showing genuine interest in you reaching your goals. I have really looked forward to every PT session and Jack never fails to make me laugh and keep my spirits high! Big up to Alex as well for his nutritional guidance and encouraging comments. I really couldn't recommend Jack, Alex and Roar more highly! :)

A. K.

Roar Fitness has great staff and provides with highly personalised service. I was lucky to train with Luke Grahame. His training program, exercises and nutrition are very clear and easy to understand. It was all made to help me reach my goals. He helped me immensely with strengthening and in just a month I was feeling much stronger. He understands the challenges for me and adjusts the program where needed. On a weekly basis he sends a very detailed review of my performance, with recommendation and analysis. This is the best feedback for online training I have ever seen. The nutrition plan he made for me worked amazingly! I have lost weight significantly already in the first month, and the weight has been declining constantly. He is always there to answer any questions and discuss what difficulties i have while training. I am looking forward to continue my training with Luke Grahame at Roar FItness and reach my goals! Thank you Luke for your professionalism!

d. d.

Currently on a 12 week transformation and loving every minute. Jiri is incredible! Professional, knowledgeable & friendly but pushes you to the limit. Can't recommend Roar & Jiri enough. Thank you!

S. S.

I've been fortunate enough to train here with Nicolle Smartt for over a year. She is supportive, incredibly knowledgeable and an all round fantastic trainer and motivator. Thanks to working with her, my attitude towards the gym and fitness in general has completely shifted for the better, and I truly look forward to our sessions each week.

An update. As 2020 was a year marred by multiple lockdowns and re-starts, it was a real challenge staying committed to my transformation. I decided to re-start my Roar journey in 2021, same old me, but now in the capable hands of a new trainer, Matt Lindsay. This due to my needing to change gym locations. Matt Roars! We are few weeks into our programme and I am really starting to feel good about myself again and am noticing real change. You know this to be true when friends and family pass comment. Matt is laser focused, supportive, patient and incredibly professional - A Trainer And A Gentleman. I am in awe of his training and nutrition knowledge and every session I learn something new. I feel inspired by his his own healthy lifestyle and outlook and so it's not just a case of do as I say.. Matt has a clear plan for me and he constantly motivates me towards achieving my goals. As long as I lay off the jam doughnuts, I am sure we will get there 🤞🏽#hotboysummer Signing up is the only good thing about 2020! I am mid-way through my programme and am excited about my progress to date. Both physical and mental challenges a plenty, but stay the course. I am getting outstanding support from my trainer Jack. I look forward to our sessions ( just don't tell him that 😜). I chose Roar because I wanted to achieve real change and I believe this is only possible through a holistic approach. Josh is providing me with excellent nutritional guidance. Sometimes it really does takes a team to move you along and help you achieve your goals. Importantly, I believe both Jack and Josh are providing me with the tools I need to continue on my journey of health and fitness beyond the duration of my programme. I signed up for a new way of life!

A. S.

I was fortunate enough to be trained by James Castle-Mason and nutritionally guided by Josh Faux while I was at Roar. The attention to detail both on the gym floor and diet-wise is unmatched. James really focuses on building up your confidence where there is weakness so you can continue when you complete your course. I had lower back issues due to a prior injury and James adjusted all exercise to accommodate this. He has really built up my knowledge of what to focus on to build a fantastic, strong physique and how to maintain it as well. Nutritional guidance from Josh is second to none. He is always on hand to ensure that nutritionally you are getting what you require while still achieving your goals. I learnt more about nutrition and intake during my check-ins with Josh and how my body responds to certain foods which is invaluable. After training at Roar, I’ve not only walked away with a physique I am happy with but an incredible amount of knowledge that will now help me achieve new goals. Grateful to have been coached by the best in the business.

C. T.

I just completed an 8 week transformation course at Roar. Everything about it was exceptional - a lot of attention has clearly been paid to the gym environment/facilities, the staff, and the workouts/nutrition plans. Results-wise, I far exceeded my goals and for the first time in my life, I think I’ve developed a healthy lifestyle that I can do forever. Will always be very grateful to the trainers who helped me - Anca Vrabie (gym PT) and Matt Lindsay (nutrition coach). The programmes are not cheap, and they will be out of budget for many, but if you can afford a course, I’d recommend it. I’ve achieved more in a couple of months than I have over probably 10 years of ‘standard’ gym membership and dieting.

S. O.

WOW !!!!! What can I say . Started at roar 5 weeks ago and its been amazing . Already seeing the results and I've still got 7 weeks to go . Christian, my trainer, is the best trainer I've ever had .He's an absolute dream to work with and pushes me to achieve above and beyond. One of the best things Ive ever done !!!

C. Q.

I've had a fantastic experience with Roar, and despite some training interruptions due to the pandemic, I saw some real progress and physical change. I've particularly enjoyed working with Tom Bulman, who's been a brilliant PT - incredibly understanding of what I can and cannot do and really motivating.

F. T.

I have just finished my first 12 weeks at Roar, and what a fantastic experience it has been. I hadn't set foot in a gym for years and was initially nervous, however the support I have received has been incredible. My amazing trainer Tom really has an attention to detail, he has been so motivating, supportive and kept a smile on my face despite the hard training for the past 3 months. I would highly recommend Tom and I have loved training with Tom so much I have signed up for another 12 weeks! Thanks Tom for making serious training enjoyable! My nutrition has been overseen by Matt who has been super supportive and has an infectious positivity, which has really helped me overhaul my diet. A fantastic duo, looking forward to the next 12 weeks, thanks for your support!

A. D.

I signed up with Roar in January and its been the best decision I have made. Training with Pierce has been an awesome experience and I am now leaner, stronger and enjoying the gym more than ever. Pierce is an extremely experienced, dedicated trainer and makes each session challenging and enjoyable. The nutrition advice from Luke has been extremely helpful to support my training and help me reach my goals. The entire Roar team are very friendly and supportive and its a great place to train.

D. N.

What can I say? Roar Fitness is great. I have trained in the past with other leading PT studios in London but can honestly say that Roar surpasses them in all aspects. Roar creates a conducive training environment and has a real team atmosphere. Shout out to my trainer James Castle-Mason. He is amazing! James really tailors your program to you as an individual. James is great at motivating you and pushing you to achieve what you thought you couldn't. He is the perfect blend of strict trainer, informative guide and humorous training partner. Highly recommend James as a trainer. Should also mention Josh. Josh has been in charge of my nutrition and has taken a hands on approach with regular checks. Overall, if you are looking for a supportive place to train properly and where you will achieve great results, look no further than Roar Fitness!

J. K.

I am a client of the roar online program and I can highly recommend it. My trainer is Luke Graham and I couldn’t wish for a better PT. I am from Germany, so I am not able to go to the roar studios. After a very nice phone call with the office I got Luke as trainer. Shortly after I got a consultation form which I had to fill out. After that he built me a nutrition and a workout plan based on my consultation form. I also got a lot of background information about them two. I weekly fill out an online check in, which gets sent to me by mail. And every week I get a check-in video response from Luke which is really really good. After a good week it is awesome to have someone to cheer me on and push me to go further. He also helps me with choosing the weights, and pushes me to train hard. If it was a hard week the check-in brings me motivation to get back on track and be better. The weekly check-ins really give me the force to go to the gym three times a week even in weeks where it feels like there is no time. After 12 weeks I got awesome results and really enjoy the training. If there are problems with an exercise Luke always finds a solution. And after every four weeks I got a new workout plan and maybe a new nutrition plan, if it needs an adaption. I did try a personal trainer in Germany before but as a student it was a to expensive option so I decided to try the roar online program. The roar online program is a perfect combination between online program and personal support. Thanks Luke and the Roar-Team for the awesome experience.

S.

I have just finished my first 12 weeks at Roar and didn't need to think twice about staying on for more; the results speak for themselves! My personal trainer, Jack, has been truly wonderful. He has really made this experience for me and is certainly one of the main reasons I didn't hesitate to sign up for longer. He is very professional and encouraging, always helping me through the pain of more reps whilst also managing to make me laugh without fail. His knowledge is unwavering, and my sessions are always varied with plenty of time and patience to ensure I have the correct technique. I never thought I would say that I enjoy spending time at the gym, but I definitely look forward to my training sessions with Jack; he is a true asset to the Roar team. My nutrition with Matt has also been excellent. The support from him has always been there when I need it, and without his incredible knowledge and guidance my first 12 weeks would not have been as successful. Jack and Matt make a great team - thank you to you both. I look forward to the next 12 weeks!

S. H.

James is hands down the best PT I’ve worked with. His manner is both professional and friendly. He takes the time to explain what each exercise and movement is for, the benefit and where each movement should be firing. In the time I’ve trained with James, he’s come to understand my movements, fix them and work around limitations I have due to spine surgery I had prior to attending roar. My own personal understanding of my body, the work I’m doing and my success so far with changing my body shape are down to James and I couldn’t recommend him enough. Also, the whole team at ROAR for their support and friendliness. If you’re looking to change your life and get in shape, head to ROAR.

G. S.

Best decision ever! - if you're thinking about signing up then I would recommend!!! I stared at Roar after the summer and after my 12 weeks I was amazed at the results and just how much better I felt - fitness and confidence wise, but also my energy levels and sleep are now better than they have been in years! My trainer, Linda, was amazing - supportive but also pushing me to get the most out of each session whilst also having fun! My nutrition plan was clear and was much easier to stick to than I initially thought with the ongoing support from Matt! Thank you to both Linda and Matt - looking forward to seeing what the next 12 weeks will bring!

N. N.

I recently completed my 12 week training program with Tom Paulson at ROAR. As a complete beginner in weight training Tom helped me develop confidence with weights as well as slowly build up strength. He is an absolute delight to work with. His choice of weights is great and he always manages to get the best performance out of you in each session. He has a very calm and composed temperament which I found particularly helpful for our gym sessions. I have absolutely loved training with him and will be continuing to train 1x times a week with him post this 12 week program. I had guidance on nutrition from Matt during my time at ROAR and his knowledge on food groups and intakes is so vast and crystal clear. He always explains in simple English and small tweaks to calorie and fluid intakes under his supervision have made the biggest of differences. Everyone at ROAR is super friendly and it's an institution that I would hands down recommend.

S. R.

I am loving working with Tom Paulson on a transformation programme at Roar. Although the aim is to get results in the short term, Tom’s laser focus on technique is going to help me for years to come. Everyone is positive and motivated without the cult-like atmosphere of other clubs. Tom makes it all so easy, all I have to do is show up! The nutrition plan has been great too and much easier to follow than I anticipated. Matt has a way of making everything very simple and logical and takes out much of the anxiety for someone who finds food complicated like I do. I actually love getting up early and going to the gym which is something I never thought I would say and probably shouldn’t admit.

C. C.

Been training with Ethan for a month, and it's been amazing to train with someone who not only loves what they do but who is also so knowledgeable. He's been an incredible teacher, motivator, and driver of results. If you're going to Roar, definitely ask for Ethan.

E. B.

I initially joined Roar Fitness on their 12-week transformation program, but enjoyed (no make that loved!) it so much that I’m still there now, 9 months on. A major part in my decision to carry on training at Roar was down to my brilliant trainer, Adam Hyams. Adam is a truly talented personal trainer, who goes above and beyond to ensure that I succeed and makes every session enjoyable – even with what feels like his slowest three second counting known to man! He tailors every session for my ability and strength, and knows when I can do that extra leg curl, go up a weight or correct my technique by a millimetre – he pushes me harder and believes in me more than I would ever push or believe in myself if I was training on my own. As a result, not only have I become incredibly strong, and much leaner (my initial goal) but my confidence and mental health has improved immensely too. When I'm unable to train, I really do miss my sessions. The whole set-up at Roar has been designed to help you succeed and achieve your goals. As well as your dedicated trainer, you’re also assigned somebody to tailor your nutrition plans (thank you Josh you're a dream!), which are tweaked and adjusted every 3 weeks. And should you need physio support, then that's right there on site too. The atmosphere is such a warm and congenial one that you actually look forward to every appointment. Whilst some gyms can be overwhelming and intimidating, Roar is the complete opposite where everybody is extremely welcoming and friendly. If I had the choice, I’d never train anywhere or with anybody else.

J. T.

I have just completed an 8 week programme @ ROAR and can tell you it works! It's not easy and takes 100% commitment but the results are clear. Special thanks to my trainer Matt Lindsay and my nutritionist Alex Smith who were both very knowledgeable but made the process fun and enjoyable. The focus on safety (gym, technique, covid-19) was paramount throughout and not only have I achieved my weight loss goal but I have gained invaluable knowledge as respect weight training and nutrition that I am confident I can continue to live a more balanced and healthy lifestyle after the program. I had never trained with weights before but will absolutely continue to do so! Highly recommend ROAR to anyone that needs that kick start to a healthier life but don't go into the process not fully committed.

K. C.

I have just completed a 12 week course at Roar & can honestly say as a 54 year old mum of 3 grown up daughters that it was the best decision I’ve ever made. It has been life changing as for the first time in many years I’ve discovered the balance of a healthy diet & exercise that I’ve grown to love that actually gives results. None of this would’ve been achievable without my trainer Kari & nutritionist Matt. They are both inspirational. Kari takes no prisoners but her expertise & guidance is exactly what I needed to learn how to lift weights correctly & Matt has tailored my diet that compliments the exercise perfectly. His in-depth consultations have given me the tools to continue & maintain my new figure. I was nervous when I first started, clearly no spring chicken but the gyms are great, not intimidating & everyone is there to support you. This has been an investment in me & I would heartily recommend this to anyone who is thinking about joining ‘another gym program’. Why is it different? It works, if you follow your tailored guidelines, you will get results. It’s not easy but definitely worth it.

L. B.

I can honestly say that signing up with Roar has been one of the best decisions I have made. I have seen better results in the 12 weeks that I have been training with Luke than I have in the 10 years of training that I attempted on my own and in classes. Luke is an amazing PT and has been hugely supportive and patient, despite my whinging and ranting - he doesn’t let me get away with any slacking and while I curse him at the time I always come away from my sessions feeling amazing. The nutritional planning and guidance from Josh has also been second to none - they’ve been the dream team!

P. N.

This is a go to place if you want to do something with your body, fitness and healthy lifestyle. The team at Roar is incredible and very professional. I signed up for 12 weeks programme.My trainer and nutritionist was Alex - he knows his stuff and I the results I managed to achieve with him are astonishing. If you are ready to commit and invest into your new you, I can only recommend this place. Also, I signed up for another 8 weeks with them.

I joined Roar to get in shape for my wedding. I am still with Roar 8 months later because I love it so much - specifically my trainer Jack and nutritionist Matt. I had been going to various gym classes, trying to run and had a personal trainer but had hit a plateau and needed help. I could not have hoped for better results. Jack is amazing - he is an exceptional trainer. Always positive, always pushing you to do more and get those extra reps, always incredibly conscious of technique and gently correcting me when I get tired or lazy, always fun, funny and never gives up on you. Jack really listens and was always able to adapt exercises when needed due to injury. I trained three times a week and Jack's plan was always varied and felt bespoke to me. You are in a team with Jack, he has your back and is totally dedicated to making sure you get the best results. He has changed my body shape and I although I often want to be sick or feel like I want to give up during a set I look forward to training with him and having a proper laugh. Matt has been incredible as my nutritionist. He has gone above and beyond for me: at the end of emails when I have questions, super supportive and creating food plans that have truly worked. He is very empathetic, takes everything in to account and is so supportive and encouraging. I am indebted to both of them and anyone joining Roar would be very lucky to have them as your team.

I have just finished my 12-week program at Roar and it has been absolutely fantastic. The gym has everything you need to train hard and there are never more than 5 people training at a time. Training with Jack has been a real pleasure. He has pushed me to work as hard as possible in every session and has made me realise the potential I have. Always extremely professional, has a tremendous emphasis on correct form and tempo. Jack will guide you through every exercise to make sure the correct muscles are getting worked. Sessions are always fun and different, Jack livens up the gym and takes real interest in you progress.

This will be the best investment you will have ever made in yourself. Sarah is genuinely passionate about helping clients to achieve their goals and better their lives. You can see that every single one of the staff there love what they do and are amongst the best in the fitness world. Not to mention incredibly friendly and encouraging. My nutrition coach Josh is so thorough and helpful and always answers my never ending questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better PT than James. He is brilliant at what he does as has completely Fixed my techniques and transformed the way I train. Learning so much from them both. If you’re serious about getting healthier and transforming your life, Roar is the place to go.

Just finished a 20 week training program at Roar and have loved every minute. The incredible team I worked with made even the very tough workouts a little easier to get through. Everybody working there is a fountain of knowledge and together they make for a really fun and friendly atmosphere. I was very inexperienced at the gym when I signed up, but thanks to Adam, Luke and Josh, I've left with a sound knowledge of how to carry on with my own training. Adam and Luke have been the most incredible resources on good form, breathing and development, helping me to safely progress. Josh was also instrumental in helping me to track my progress, weight and nutrition along the way. Special thanks to these three guys. I am really grateful to everyone at Roar and would definitely recommend them to anybody wanting to improve their fitness.

The past four months have been more challenging, rewarding and motivating than I could ever have expected. Roar is a truly awesome gym and I genuinely look forward to my sessions each week. I’ve been training with Nicolle and have had nutrition coaching from Matt and my progress has totally surpassed my expectations. Nicolle is a great PT, every session is challenging but she is hugely encouraging and we have a good laugh too (very important when some weeks you’re spending more time with your PT than your friends!!). Matt is helping me to change my relationship with food and it is amazing to see my body positively responding to the changes I’m making. Whilst I’ve still got a way to go I have no doubt I’ll smash my goals with this hard working and dedicated team supporting me.

M. N.

Signing up for sessions at Roar is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had never lifted a weight before my first session at Roar, and had always felt intimidated stepping out onto a gym floor. Several months later, with the encouragement and knowledge about proper technique and form that my trainer Tom has given me, I feel my confidence in my abilities has shot up. Matt's guidance and watchful eye on the nutrition front have been invaluable, and have reshaped the way I think about food for the better. All that I have gained from my experience at Roar is absolutely priceless. Thank you!

J. P.

Ok, I came to a conclusion in January this year I needed to do something about my ever spiralling weight! I signed up with ROAR after a bit of research on transformation programmes (having followed on insta a for a while). I was a complete novice to not only the gym but weight lifting and eating healthy! The programme was built around this while also taking into consideration my injured back. I won’t lie the initial few weeks are tough, but if you stick to the programme, the results are brilliant. I have completed the initial 12 week period and continued for an additional 12 weeks. My life has radically changed, I have personally been transformed and have discovered a passion for nutrition, weight lifting and keeping fit. The knowledge I have acquired during this process I think will always be with me.....I will never get back to the way I was! The staff, programme and facilities are all brilliant – you may think something like this could be intimidating, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. You are always greeted with a smile from the receptionist to the owners! My trainer was Tom, who is a diligent, friendly, hardworking and focused individual. Your performance and wellbeing are always at the forefront of his mind. He provides support when needed and likewise will push you when needed! His genuine passion for the process is brilliant to see aside from that he’s also a nice dude! From a nutritional perspective, Luke looked after me. His voice of reason (as well as discipline!) has been great and always has the time to talk through any issues and happily answers any questions …even my ridiculous ones! In summary, my life has changed, and without the passion and support from everyone at ROAR, it wouldn’t have been possible. Sarah and Richard, you should be very proud about what you have achieved and the team you have created – thanks for everything and I look forward to continuing on my fitness journey!

I’ve been lucky enough to have Victoria Norris as my trainer for the last two months, and I genuinely look forward to every session. Victoria is incredibly positive, supportive and full of energy, motivating me to get that extra rep and to lift heavier than I thought I could. Seeing the differences and results week by week has been such a great experience that I don’t want it to end! On the nutrition side, Matt has been brilliant, somehow managing to break some terrible habits and encouraging me to keep going. The whole Roar team are so welcoming and friendly, I feel very fortunate and happy that I was able to sign up for these 12 weeks.

D. M.

Started training with Matt Lyndsay @ROAR Fitness a couple of months ago - (he's excellent by the way!). Absolutely the best decision I've ever made with regards to my positive mental health, being transformed and being in an environment that just works brilliantly. To say I was slightly apprehensive would be a massive understatement. For over 10 years I had continually made a promise to myself, that I would get back in shape, healthy and fit! it just never happened and everything else was a priority and I had tried many different options. This is a friendly but serious environment, they work you hard and that's absolutely fine by me. In the current climate I've been fortunate enough to find this place and I've definitely got lucky with Matt as my trainer - honest, knowledgeable, professional and always has a smile on his face especially when he's pushing me towards my goals - truly empowering... I have my nutrition sessions with Luke who's advice and knowledge is spot on.. Truly transformational - I'm going back for more and so should you if my story resonates.

D. P.

I bought some watson gym equipment and found roar on their website. I work with Ethan. He is patient, encouraging, communicates well and is helping me achieve results. I would strongly recommend Roar and Ethan if you really want to put the effort in

M. B.

I'm coming up to the end of my 12 week programme. I've been training with Victoria who is an amazing trainer. She will always tweak your positioning to ensure you're getting the most out of your workouts. She has pushed me to get in those reps that I didn't think was possible. She will change exercises to ensure I'm working out the correct muscles. I have honestly seen such big changes in my body and energy since I've been training with Victoria. My nutrition plans have been controlled by Matt who is incredible. He's always positive and motivating and has helped me reach my goals. The nutrition plans have many options which help keep you fulfilled and full. Matt will create a nutrition plan to cater to your lifestyle and needs. Overall the whole experience has been tough but has been completely worth it. I have loved my experience at roar so much that I have booked in another 12 weeks of sessions!

m. B.

I have been training remotely with Luke Grahame for 12 weeks. He has been absolutely fantastic. He has been completely positive, helped me gain muscle mass, address my nutrition and really see the benefits of weights. He has been amazing at setting goals for me which have been right at the edge of what I can do, whilst still being acheivable. His professionalism and depth of knowledge is awesome and he has always been willing to give time to address whatever issues I've had with either nutrition or technique or minor aches and pains. I love the way he has emphasised form (quality) over quantity - it's given me a great foundation to keep working from.

S. L.

I just finished my 12 week body transformation with Hym and it was absolutely fantastic. He is a great trainer who really understood how I can work and how to push me further. And Roar really worked for me because it does not just train you and make you diet, it changes your entire approach to working out and to nutrition, and teaches you how to keep the good results going. I can honestly say that I've never been more motivated for the gym than with Roar but also now since I have started going to the gym by myself again. Would highly recommend it.

S. V.

I completed the 8 week course at Roar recently. The training with Lucie was great (and is the only reason I can give them 3 stars) and it helps you build confidence in the weights section in the gym. However, that is not all you pay for with Roar and I have to say as a vegetarian I was very disappointed with the nutritional side of things. As a veggie/vegan, I would not recommend this diet and some of the key reasons are set out below. 1. There is not enough choice. Although there are a few vegan and veggie options for breakfast, the options for lunch and dinner are limited and frankly, fairly lazy options with most of them being based on mock meat. I think there is a fundamental lack of understanding of veggie and vegan diets if the alternatives are always mock meat dishes - this doesn't really cater to veggies or vegans that don't like meat(!) 2. Its not healthy As a meat eater, perhaps cutting out all grains, pulses and beans and dairy is do able because there are other options to consuming protein. However as a veggie/vegan this seriously limits your choices for high protein foods and the same blanket rules for meat eaters should not apply to those with restricted diets. Most veggie/vegan athletes consume a healthy amount of these things so the science behind cutting them out is highly questionable (in addition no food intolerance test is carried out to make sure this is actually necessary). It means as a veggie you end up relying solely on eggs, cottage cheese and tofu or as a vegan you have to eat highly processed mock meat. When it gets to the point that you are eating a minimum of 14 eggs a week - this is just not natural or healthy or sustainable which means that this is only a short term quick fix. I did ask to eat purely egg whites as I had concerns over cholestrol but was told not to. I'm also not comfortable living off huge amounts of tofu given the small link to breast cancer (which runs in the family ). I understand that the only reason that pulses/beans/dairy is cut out is to stop the possibility of bloating - so its for aesthetic reasons which doesn't seem good enough of a reason to compromise on health (even if its for a short period of time). Veggie and vegan diets are meant to be clean, natural diets - this just doesn't embrace that which leads me to the next point. 3. Lack of understanding There seems to be a lack of research into veggie/vegan diets and alternatives. I also don't think the nutritionists are qualified dieticians or that any qualified dietician has been consulted. For the money you pay surely you expect this? For example, instead of strictly cutting out all dairy (and there is a big difference between consuming milk and yoghurt, but this isn't considered) what about considering alternatives like kefir yoghurt etc. The coconut collaborate alternatives are actually high in saturated fat which is not healthy at all and which seems to defeat the purpose of trying to switch all your cooking oils to coconut oil or butter etc. In addition, coconut oil and butter are only healthy when cooked in high heat dishes - which not all of the dishes are. There are also hardly any vegetables in the recipes(?!). Where is the actual nutrition for veggies and vegans?! In summary, I do think that a lot more consideration needs to be given to health and that veggies and vegans can't be treated like "pretend" meat eaters. Its a real shame as I expected a lot more understanding and a more personalised service on the nutrition front. But it is a bit of a one size fits all approach which is not what you pay for when you dish out over £3k. For the reasons set out above I lost interest in the nutritional side of things (it has not been given near enough thought for veggies and vegans). I lost about 3% body fat with Roar but having left, I have lost at the same rate making my own changes to my diet. It feels slower, but its also more sustainable which means its better in the long run.

Having just finished my last few sessions of the 12 week program, I can say without a doubt that this experience was worth it. I trained with Tom, and received nutritional information from Josh. Both of whom were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in guiding me for the last few months. Tom has been absolutely incredible to work with. He’s always positive, and is great at motivating you to push yourself to achieve more than what you thought you ever could. He’s also very informative which allows you to better understand which muscle groups are working, and how best to preform a certain action. From the beginning Josh gave me all the information I would need to start a new diet, live a healthier lifestyle, and answer any questions I had. He was extremely encouraging throughout the weeks, which continued to motivated me further, and stay strict on my diet plan. Moreover, Josh continually tailored and adjusted the nutritional side of the program to my personal needs, which really made such a big difference. Overall, I feel more confident in not only myself but my knowledge of the gym. It’s an extremely well rounded program, and I highly recommend working with Tom and Josh. I can’t thank them and everyone at Roar enough for all they have done for me.

D. H.

Second time using Roar - first was disrupted due to holidays and an operation yet was still a success from 35 sessions over 6 months ( should have been 3 months). 18 months later went back in the same shape I left (it is sustainable) and I’ve seen immediate and further gains (weight down, muscle increase - ticking both boxes) after just 12 sessions (4 weeks). Shout out to Matt - good guy, good communicator, top trainer!

M. S.

2/3 of the way through a 12-week course with Jake. Sessions have been great and, combined with the nutrition plan, I'm already in the best condition I've been in in years - would definitely recommend!

J. F.

I just completed a 12 week Transformation at ROAR Fitness, all I can say is they are the best in the business. These guys will take you to the next level are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. The atmosphere is great and all the trainers are friendly and welcoming of any level. My PT was Luke Grahame, he was simply excellent, I was learning new things every session from the best exercise techniques to the science behind the Transformation process! He encouraged me and pushed beyond what I thought I could achieve. I never been this fit or lean in my life!! I can't recommend ROAR any more highly!

C. F.

I'm in the last weeks of my 12 week program with ROAR and I could not be more pleased with the results I have seen working with the team. Tom has been my incredible trainer. Always positive and encouraging, he is constantly working to get the best outcomes for me and this is evidenced by my increased strength and confidence. I can't imagine working with another trainer now I have met Tom. My nutrition overhaul has been guided by Matt and it has truly made such a difference. Matt is always positive and listens intently to how my nutrition journey is progressing, offering structure, guidance, and empathy throughout the process. A program like this was exactly what I needed to change my habits and reach the goals I wanted to achieve. I have never felt more confident, strong, or happy.

B. S.

I’m not one to exaggerate but Roar has truly changed my life as well as my body! My 20-week time here saw me lose over 15kg and built my confidence and ability to exercise and use weights... I’ve always felt intimidated and overwhelmed using gyms before, but Roar is an inclusive and supportive place and if they can get me into dead lifts, presses and more, they can do anything! Massive respect to my trainer Matt who has made me laugh, sweat, sob and shout on occasion, but he has the patience of a saint and he really knows his stuff and as a result has made my body completely change! Josh in charge of my nutrition has also worked wonders and has made altering my diet fun and fascinating and I barely got hungry! Yes, it’s a commitment in terms of time and money, but god it’s worth it. In my early forties, my body is the best it’s ever been and I love the way training here makes me feel. It’s such a mental boost and that’s why I’m staying on to see if I can continue the good work. I wish I’d done it years ago to be honest... I thoroughly recommend it!

N. J.

Just finished 12 weeks training at Roar, with Nicolle who was great and incredibly motivating. She's pushed me to do better and lift heavier than I could have imagined and has really inspired me to work hard every time. She's so positive, and has helped me along on this journey, which I'm so grateful for. The entire Roar gym is very welcoming, though I was intimidated at first, that certainly didn't last long! Absolutely recommend working with Roar. Results have been great, and the encouragement from Nicolle has changed me for the better in so many ways!

F. R.

I signed up toan 8 week program with Roar 6 weeks ago as I wanted to kickstart my year off work with getting fit, losing weight, and building a good set of habits after many years of not eating well & being inactive. In those 6 weeks, I've dropped over 12kg, a size in clothing, and feel the fittest I ever remember being (and close to my lowest ever weight!). I've achieved weight strengths that friends who have been lifting for years have got to, and have had a lot of fun doing it. It's been an amazing experience from the people that were involved to all the facilities and instruction. I didn't struggle with the food beyond the first couple of days of adjustment, and was pushed at the right pace and with the right force through the weight training within the gym. Luke, my trainer, hasn't let me stopped below my physical limits within the gym and Alex Smith on nutrition has gone out of his way in between our nutrition checkups to check on how things are going. Going to Roar has become a highlight of my day and it truly feels like a family, positive environment yet focused on performance and goals. If you sign up to this and are willing to follow everything that Roar says, you will become part of a high-performance team that is focused on helping you achieve your body & fitness goals, and the results will blow you away.

I finished my 12 week Roar transformation a few weeks ago. From the second I walked into Roar and throughout the transformation, it was five-star professionalism all the way. My initial consolation with Sarah was informative, friendly and she totally managed my expectations. Roar was a tough journey (if you face the challenge in a dedicated way), but when you start to see results, it spurs you to continue. My trainer Laura was simply fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. She made my workouts really enjoyable, yet pushed me to the limit, and believed in me even when I thought I could never do it. She was understanding, caring, yet tough; an almost impossible balance to possess. I miss our sessions! Matt, my nutritionist always made time for me, and found solutions when I was hitting a plateau or just needed more food variety. He clearly explained not just what I had to do, but why. The context was important, as it gave me the know-how to plan my own meals and maintain my body post-Roar. Having finished my transformation I feel a massive sense of achievement, a new found body-confidence, as well as gym-floor confidence. A big thanks to the Roar Team for empowering me to achieve results I am really happy with!

J. L.

I am not a gym person! However since joining Roar just over four months ago, I’ve lost over five and a half stone and find myself looking forward to going to the gym. My trainer, Jack, is exceptional. Despite my undying protest and negativity he has managed to motivate and encourage me. His dreadful anecdotes also keep me amused! The Roar nutrition plan is excellent, I have discovered a whole new way of eating that means I’m not hungry and I can loose weight… how is that possible?! My thanks go to Josh for putting this together for me. Roar is a very comfortable place to train and the whole team is very welcoming. Thank you Roar, but particularly Jack, I could/would never have done this without you guys.

G. R.

It's hard to put the amazing last 12 weeks into words but joining Roar and training with Jack is probably the highlight of 2020. I've learnt loads (specially around form and tempo), and progressed both physically and mentally to the point I really like lifting weights and going to the gym after years of lacking motivation. Aside from being an exceptional PT (always pushing my limits to lift more and better), Jack is an amazing guy to be around, he's considerate, funny, and by the end it really felt like I was training with a friend. I'm really going to miss our sessions together (and our bespoke Spanish lessons). Also shoutout to Matt and his amazingly designed nutrition program, due to my physique I always struggled to gain weight and muscle but following his advice I managed to build up to 1 stone. Thanks for everything and I hope our paths cross again!

F. T.

My experience at Roar Fitness has been fantastic. I have been lucky enough to train with Pierce who is incredibly knowledgeable and with his support and encouragement, I have been able to see strength gains which I wouldn't have thought possible. Pierce is very professional and friendly which makes every session enjoyable. Sarah's nutritional advice has also been very valuable and the regular catch ups have ensured that I have made good progress with my overall goals. Sarah's positivity and passion for fitness is also infectious. Roar really is a great gym, the camaraderie between the trainers is obvious which helps to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I really am grateful to the team, particularly Pierce and Sarah, and look forward to continuing my progress at Roar.

C. B.

I have been training at ROAR for the last 10 weeks and I can honestly say it’s the most I have enjoyed any gym-based experience for decades. The gym environment is completely non-intimidating, and my trainer, Nicolle, has been incredible. Professional, supportive, motivating but also really fun to work with, she explains everything fully in order to help me understand what each exercise is helping to achieve whilst also devising a program that means I can now lift heavier than I ever thought possible. I genuinely look forward to our sessions. Along with Matt’s nutritional advice this program has made me stronger, leaner and fitter than I have been in years, and the sense of achievement is amazing. If you are still thinking about signing up to ROAR don’t waste any more time, do it. It’s not easy but it is so worth it and it will 100% change your life. Two weeks to go and I don’t want it to end (will be back in January!)

h. n.

I have been training at Roar since April this year and I am officially 100% hooked. I have never felt stronger, been leaner - and enjoyed training so much. It is truly amazing how much your body can do...Working with my PT Jasper and nutrition with Josh has been genuinely great fun with achievable goals set and advice at every corner. My body shape has completely changed and I can guarantee the sessions are tons more fun than continually doing spinning classes at the gym....Give it a try - I promise you wont be disappointed!!! #strongnotskinny

M. C.

When I first opened Roar Fitness’ door on the day of my initial consultation my attention has been drawn to a little sign on the wall: “Easy? No. Worth it? Yes”. Well... this is exactly the summary of my wonderful experience with Roar Fitness. A journey of dedication, commitment and little sacrifices aimed at achieving my results. My body now changed completely and so did my food habits and lifestyle. My PT Alex and my Nutrition specialist Matt are the fantastic guys who supported me at all time and helped me feeling so much better. I would do it again and again and I would recommend Roar Fitness to anyone. If you love yourself you should give it a go and join this fantastic journey. Grazie Roar Fitness, I am looking forward to coming back for another great training session!

c. m.

I’m getting to the end of my 12 week course at Roar with James Castle-Mason as my trainer. James has been brilliant and so professional, really focusing on building my strength and tone, fully understanding what my objectives are, being very supportive with the right amount of toughness and humour when pushing to the limit! With the support of Josh’s nutrition plan, the pounds have been shed and I’m in great shape. Fantastic experience, totally recommend James and Roar.

A. G.

Enrolling with Roar Fitness when I lost my job back in August was one of the best decisions of my life and led to one of most amazing experiences! After 12 weeks and 48 hours of training, I am still in shock with the results! Thank you to Luke for his continuous support and his professionalism, adapting every single routine, set and rep count to my body and health condition every step of the way. I never thought I would be that lean yet that much stronger! 💪🏼 Thanks to Matt for the nutrition support, guidance and advice, how amazing to re-learn how to eat properly! 😋 I don’t have enough words to say thanks for all the support received from the broader team too, every little nice word in the locker room helped to achieve this goal! Sarah and Rich what a great team you have built, now that is world class personal training! Guess what, I have enrolled for another 12 weeks so watch this space!

J. L.

I signed up to Roar in February and was lucky enough to have Alex as my trainer. Alex is extremely personable, knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring I get the most out of each session. My training was supported by Luke’s advice on nutrition. The nutrition programme is clear, simple to follow, and works. Even after completing the initial programme its totally changed my approach to exercise and food. I found the results easy to maintain and after a short break continued my training at Roar with a focus on building strength and muscle. I couldn’t be happier with the results!

A. M.

I've trained with Luke Grahame for the past 4 months and it has been a pleasure to work with him. I had no confidence in using the gym properly, low knowledge of nutrition and training. Now that I've come to the end of my time with him, I can confidently take forward training and nutrition to continue working towards my goals. I've been able to drop almost 2 stones and I've been amazed at what I can achieve (it's just the start!). Would strongly recommend anyone to work with Roar Fitness. I bit the bullet and haven't regretted it at all.

A. O.

I have joined Roar Fitness as I was looking for a change in my lifestyle, a new project to focus on. I must tell, I'm having an absolute blast! I have been in sport all my life and have seen many different gyms. But in Roar you will find something very different - personalised approach, attention to detail and the highest level of professionalism. I'm very lucky to have James as my PT. He is exceptionally competent and focused, listens to your opinion and can adjust the programme in accordance with your ability and potential. My nutrition coach is Matt, who is exceedingly knowledgable and always prepared to provide detailed answers to all your questions. If you are serious about changing something in your life, I cannot recommend Roar highly enough.

A. L.

I couldn't have been luckier to have Jack as my trainer. He always explained what each exercise was focused on and was constantly pushing me beyond what I thought I was capable of. Jack also just has such an infectious, positive energy and is always up for a laugh. These last 8 weeks have been super challenging but have made me feel stronger than I ever imagined I could be. Combined with my nutrition plan with Matt, who was always super helpful and encouraging, I've come away feeling confident and armed with so much knowledge that I can use in my day-to-day. This has been an amazing experience!

A. G.

I have trained with over a dozen personal trainers throughout the years and got some great results with one or two and mostly mediocre with the rest. James Castle-Mason at Roar Fitness has been different to all the others. I have been training with him for just over 8 weeks now and already I know the final results will be the best I have ever achieved. He is so knowledgeable about training (particularly proper form), which is so important to achieve an amazing transformation in a short time. I would highly recommend James as an elite Personal Trainer who will take the time and effort to ensure you can get the best possible results you are hoping to achieve.

E. T.

I have been signed up to Roar’s online plan for a few months now, under the watchful eye of personal trainer Luke Grahame. I decided on the online plan as I do not live or work near their London gym and I have my own gym membership. Luke has been fantastic and its no surprise that Roar have high-praise reviews here. Luke immediately understood what I was looking for from this plan, and the exercise and nutrition plan have been really easy to follow and, most importantly, have had a real impact on me physically. As I get closer to my goals I have not experienced any drop in motivation which is testament to Luke and the support given throughout. If you are prepared to commit and work hard, that’s exactly what they will do for you, and I thoroughly recommend them because you will see great results.

T. O.

This is a top notch facility with the highest calibre of training, trainers, advice and service. Working with Ethan has been (is) a wonderful experience as he is not only highly skilled in the theory and practice, but is always reading my needs in the moment to ensure the programme will work best for me personally ... and, in turn, he helps me see/achieve results I didn't even realise were in me 😊. HUGE thanks and respect.

L. T.

I have trained with Marion for 12 weeks and I enjoyed every single training session. Marion is always full of energy and her ongoing support and advice helped me stick to my goal and achieve amazing results. I was thrilled with how quickly I saw my body change, all while having a great time! Having never set foot in a gym before joining Roar, Marion's constant focus on my technique learned me how to properly weight train and feel confident in a gym. Many thanks for being the best coach I could have wished for!

J. S.

Truly thankful for my experience with Roar Fitness - especially my trainer Jack, and my nutritionist Matt. Initially went in for a consultation, which was just an informal chat looking at where I felt I was currently, my experience with fitness, and what I was looking to achieve. Talking to Rich really helped me to make my decision to join Roar - it was clear he knew what he was talking, but also he listened to what I was looking for and found me the perfect trainer who I could gel with - Jack. I was booked in for an assessment with another professional, in which I went through my history of injuries, and then completed a range of movements to test my mobility and function - simple enough. I got started with Jack soon after, and we hit it off immediately. Initially Jack had me hit the ground running with a full-body regime working so he could assess where I was at, and so that he could help me to really nail the form. After a year out from training, it was difficult but at the same time exciting to get back into it. I was training 3 times a week, and we had a laugh throughout sessions, and then Jack would get me focussed again on the work, and we got a lot done in each session. He encouraged me to lift heavier and to always get in those last few reps - and knowing that he was there to help out, meant I could go all out. He adapted the workout when I got injured, and gave me tips around alleviating the pain etc. He identified the movements that didn't work well for me and suggested other movements which would be better suited. And he helped me to get to the strongest I've ever been, lifting a whole lot more weight and volume than I ever have previously! Top man! Every couple of weeks I would have a check-in with Matt, who was able to provide the nutritional expertise to supplement the work in the gym. He adapted the nutrition to my plant-based lifestyle, whilst ensuring that I got the correct macros and micronutrients. Matt was supportive throughout and made time to answer any questions I had. He was always asking about my progress, and requested feedback in terms of what worked, and more importantly what didn't, so that he could further refine the support he provides. Together both Matt and Jack (and the rest of the lovely team) have made my time at Roar an invaluable experience, where I have learnt so much, progressed physically and mentally, and found a whole new level. At the end of the day, I knew I could rely on them, and I knew I had to ensure I put in the time and effort to make my goals a reality.

From my first day at Roar Fitness, I knew I was lucky to have got Marion as my trainer. She has consistently been there at 6:30am with me each morning, full of energy and ready to push me to achieve my best! I’m now 15 weeks in and couldn’t be happier with what Marion has helped me to achieve. She focuses on ensuring that my technique is always perfect, so I don’t waste a single rep! Thank you so much Marion for making weight training one of my new favourite hobbies, and for being the best coach I could have wished for in this journey! Also very grateful to Josh for helping me stick to and enjoy my nutrition plan so much! Thank you Roar Fitness for helping me achieve a body that I am happy to walk down the isle with on my big day! xx

I really enjoyed my 8 week training and nutrition programme at Roar Fitness. It totally surpassed my expectations, which were already high! In particular I would like to call out Scott Anderson, who as my trainer, was amazing. He impressed and inspired me with his fitness and training knowledge, attention to detail, and the level of energy and encouragement he bought to all of my sessions. It really helped keep me focused and motivated on my 8 week goals and to help me challenge myself beyond what I thought was possible. I would like to also thank Matt Lindsay for all his great nutrition advice and guidance, which combined with the training, made a big difference! I will be highly recommending Roar fitness to my friends. Thank you so much!

Loved my 8 week training programme at Roar. 5 star facilities and a great community feel. Yordan my trainer was incredible, the ideal mix of tough training and motivation alongside practical advice and support to get me through. Yordan knew how hard to push me in each session and I've learnt so much from him. I've trained at gyms before but Roar is next level and delivers amazing results, with hard work. Shout out to Josh my nutritionist who educated and motivated me with healthy eating advice and regular check ins, which really helped to keep me on track. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to make a real change to their health and fitness.

Its been an amazing experience in regards to my fitness goals, a massive shift to the positive in terms of my relationship to food and nutrition and having a great time doing it. At Roar, my trainer Laura keeps it fun yet challenging, and friendly. Having a female trainer has been good for me as then we can discuss the problem areas and improve on them!!! My nutritionist Matt has been awesome too with monitoring my food intakes and keeping it in check to get the best results!! The vibe overall is professional and relaxed at the gym. The advise given and the corrections made to my exercise posture and techniques is priceless. I am feeling stronger and overall there is a positive shift in my mood and energy levels, of course there is the aesthetics side to it and that bit is coming along wonderfully!!!

What you need in a PT is someone who is honest, and that pushes you in a manner that empowers you and constantly scrutinises your form, giving you hints as to how to get the best out of your sessions. Tom is all of that and more. You may think you know what you are doing and then someone tweaks your technique and suddenly the weights are moving up rapidly and you are training in a completely different way on the same exercises! The nutrition with Matt is spot on. Don’t question it because it works ... you may sit there saying I can’t finish this plate but you do and you not only see results you feel ready to train. This gym is covid safe to the max, Tom follows you around, cleaning everything but in a way that doesn’t impact the session at all. Team Tom & Matt

My second time working with Roar and I’m still really impressed at their outstanding service. My trainer James and my nutritionist Matt were phenomenal. Although, it seems to me that ALL the coaches are great because Sarah & Rich have invested their time in Roar’s culture (eg. friendly high performance) that attracts and retains great coaches! Can’t wait to make it a third time in the new gym!! A

A.

Such a fantastic experience training at Roar! I was barely able to lift weights and also slightly intimidated by them but under the supervision of my brilliant and professional PT, Tom, my confidence grew. He's a star! His patience, motivation and support to continually push and challenge myself helped me to get stronger and change my body shape. I had Matt looking after the nutritional side, who was great at answering my questions and offering alternatives when I was struggling. He has completely changed my understanding of food and healthy eating. I loved training at Roar and will be back when I return from my travels! Have to mention the lovely Abbie at reception and wonderful Neil the physio (he sorted out injuries that had been troubling me for years!)

E. T.

Training at Roar has hands down been one of the best things I have ever done. My trainer Tom was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgeable and I learned so much during my 12 weeks. He knew when to push me but also when I was having a bit of an off day and just needed a bit of encouragement. Matt looked after my nutrition and was also amazing. I was worried being almost completely plant based would be an issue but he always made it work. I have learned so much about nutrition and he has completely changed my attitude towards food. I enjoyed my time at Roar so much I signed up to continue training once a week with Tom and can't imagine our sessions not being part of my week. If you're on the fence about whether or not to sign up, just do it - you won't regret it!

L. M.

One of the best decisions I made was to sign up for Roar. I spent 3 months with Marion Reguera training me and Matt telling me what to eat and I lost 12kg and now feel that I can walk into a gym on my own and know what I'm doing. I'd never considered lifting before outside of the occasional body pump class, but now I'm going to carry on with it. They're all really friendly and enthusiastic at Roar and its a great atmosphere. My only small criticism is that they need a bigger place with more equipment to avoid having to wait to use some machines.

C. &. G.

Nicolle is an excellent trainer - her technical attention to detail means that I am training properly and getting stronger without injury. I had such great results from my first 12 weeks that I have signed up for another 12. You get the full package with Roar - they help you understand your nutrition habits, change any that need changing, and train you into the physical best version of yourself.

A. P.

Have had an amazing time training at ROAR with Tom for 12 weeks. Have been so happy with the progress I've signed up for another package and can't really see myself stopping any time soon! Tom is really supportive, knowledgeable, and has amazing attention to detail. He's always making sure my technique and tempo are correct and is great at motivating and reinforcing all the progress by explaining how I've improved from each session to the next. The nutrition sessions with Josh are super helpful as well to keep you encouraged with the amazing decreases in measurements. Will be sad to take a month off while traveling!!

A. R.

I've been training with Anca at Roar Fitness for over 4 months. Great training facilities but Anca has made a real difference. Always enthusiastic and profession - at each training sessions she makes small changes that make a big difference. Each session is a challenge and never repetitive or boring. The workouts have made a huge difference to my fitness level and well being. Get training with Anca!

K. R.

I had Nicolle as a training manager during 12 weeks and she was amazing ! Very kind and very professional, she took time to explain the exercises to me and to correct me, plus she was always pushing me to do more, increasing weights as soon as she saw it was too easy. I now feel comfortable going to the gym and use the different machines and weights available. Regarding the facilities at ROAR, the organisation is well designed so that the gym is not too busy and I never had to wait to use a machine. Thank you Nicolle !!

J. D.

Working with the team at ROAR has had a hugely positive impact on my life. What they do is so much more than weights and cardio, it's about helping you take control of your life through improved health and nutrition. I've been training with Luke Grahame now for several months and I cannot recommend him enough. He understands how I work and has helped me achieve some fantastic results. My training sessions and nutritional habits are now very important to me ... it wasn't always that way. I've stayed well beyond my initial 12 weeks and judging by the familiar faces I see on the gym floor, so have many others.

R. D.

A week after completing my initial 12 week phase and the results are spectacular, so much so that I have signed up for another 8 weeks! I feel more confident, I have lost weight and my body has started to become toned and defined. I was so apprehensive about this level of training as I have never been a 'gym' kinda person and I had never really lifted weights before. I decided to just go for it and nervous me walked into their private personal training facility and I have never looked back. I was greeted by smiling happy people and felt welcomed and at ease straight away. I met my trainer - Jack, and we just clicked straight away. It's been an amazing mix of laughter, sweat and the occasional happy tears! Jack has pushed me hard, listened, taught me the correct techniques and most importantly helped me shape my body, achieving results that in the past I thought were never achievable. As a first timer to training I am so happy to be paired with Jack, he is so understanding and helpful, especially how he patiently corrects my posture or techniques without ever sounding condescending or like he has told me 100 times before. Not forgetting the invaluable nutritional advice from Josh, I have been able to easily adapt my lifestyle to suit the training programme and not feel like I was ever on a ‘diet’ or ‘meal plan’. He enabled me to have all the recipes and information on hand to help me achieve my goals. Here's to the next 8 weeks and hopefully making it to the infamous wall of results!

A. C.

I signed up for the 12 weeks program with ROAR at the end of the lockdown as I was feeling sluggish, bloated and desperate to move my body again. Was lucky to get SASKIA as my PT. She is a GEM ! As a total beginner, I had no idea what I was in for… With SASKIA support and her bubbly way to teach, I am really enjoying my journey so far and seeing progress. SASKIA is very patient and she always manage to get me through each session with a smile on my face despite a sore body. She push me to achieve above and beyond. Every session is challenging as I hate exercising. Also not making it easy for her as I travel quite a lot. But SASKIA is able to adapt the program to my need and has given me a huge confidence and energy boost to help me venture out of my comfort zone and ensuring results. Here for the long run and really happy and excited to see what awaits me… Grateful for SASKIA, I highly recommend her !

R. Q.

The online programme has allowed me to access the knowledge and help of the experts at Roar Fitness from my home hundreds of miles away. Weekly check-ins and video updates from Luke Graham have kept me motivated to push myself further each session even though I am unable to attend the Roar Gym in person.

R. S.

I signed up for a 12-week course with Roar when I retired at 65. I was assured by Roar that if I strictly followed the diet assigned by Josh the nutritionist and completed at least three guided workouts a week, I would see significant improvements in my body shape and strength. Ethan, my assigned trainer gave me lots of advice, encouragement and systematically charted my progress. As with all fitness training you get out what you put in. The Roar team ensure that you do make that crucial effort through their enthusiastic, targeted, professional approach. After three months I was significantly fitter, measurably stronger and in a much better equipped to live a healthy ‘Third Age’.

S.

In a nutshell: The team at Roar is amazing and I loved training with my outstanding PT Nicolle so much, I signed up for another 12 weeks! The longer version: With a ballooning waistline, signing up to Roar was a drastic turn intended to, if not right the ship, then at least stop the hurtling towards the edge. And it really was drastic as I had never done any weight training. In fact, I had avoided the gym like the plague in the last decade and as a result I had never been so out of shape. I approached this with a heap of body image issues, more than a little trepidation and a raised eyebrow for anyone who said they truly loved going to the gym. PT Nicolle really had her work cut out for her but took it all in her stride. She is the kindest, most patient trainer I could have hoped for, pushing me further than I ever expected possible. Nicolle is not just motivating and amazingly effective as a PT, she leaves you walking out of the gym feeling like a champion, even if an exhausted one. In the 12 weeks I worked with her, I saw a real transformation not just physically, but in my whole outlook on life. The latter is a testament to the insightful conversations into which she had somehow turned my distracting chatter. Nutritionist Matt was an understanding cheerleader for change and the whole team at Roar is there for you. “Ready to kill it today?” is something I heard on a regular basis. This supportive environment extends to the changing rooms where being part of a demanding gym programme fosters camaraderie. I have never gone a week without overhearing compliments like "It looks so easy when you do that!" or "I don't know how you do that weight; it looks so impressive!" flying around. Just one good training session at Roar can turn around a rubbish week.

J. R.

I have been training at Roar since October 2018 and I cannot recommend the whole team and especially my incredible trainer, Jack, and nutritionist, Matt, highly enough. I was apprehensive before starting because of ongoing pain from old injuries but I shouldn't have worried...Jack is extremely knowledgeable, motivating, gives great advice and is fun to train with. He makes every session interesting and listens closely to what I want and we have worked together to achieve my goals. Matt has kept me focused on my nutrition and I now find meal planning so much easier. I've never felt better or stronger and am now pain free which I did not imagine would be possible. If you're having doubts about signing up, DON'T, it's the best thing you can do.

R. W.

10 weeks into to my 12 week transformation and I can definitely say I’m loving the ROAR fitness experience. James Castle-Mason is my PT, he has been excellent his professionalism and wealth of knowledge regards weight training and human anatomy have been second to none. He has safely guided me through all the training sessions without any issues even though I have had a history of back problems. I’d recommend him to anyone. Josh Faux looks after my nutrition and I’d equally recommend him too he totally understands your goals and is quick to give good advice when you are finding the diet tough. ROAR is a great place to train and all staff are really friendly. It’s hard work and you need to be disciplined when following the diet but the results up to now have been worth it!

C. P.

My trainer is Nicolle Smart and she is absolutely fantastic. It's hard work and it's a long journey for me because of the change I need to make and she keeps me going. She keeps me motivated and engaged . Her knowledge is amazing and I feel in safe hands at all time. She goes the extra mile and is totally amazing.

I joined Roar in January with 6 months to get ready for my wedding. I bought the 12 week programme and enjoyed it (and the results) so much I signed up for a further 12 weeks. As others have said it is hard work, but the results are so worth it. I am lucky enough to be trained by the wonderful Ethan Kenny who has kept me on track and helped me achieve results I could not have thought possible when I started. The only downside being the amount of additional costs in getting my wedding dress altered repeatedly due to continuous fat loss :) Ethan is brilliant at knowing how far he can push you so that he challenges you but so you have complete confidence that you can do what he is asking without hurting yourself. He is also great fun to spend time with and makes the early morning starts a little easier. The knowledge of everyone here is great and for someone who finds gyms intimidating generally you could not find a more friendly and supportive place. It also helps that they clearly practice what they preach and Ethan is a great example of this. His work ethic and commitment to helping clients achieve their goals is clear, he was very supportive of me when I was travelling and always has tips and tricks to help. I can't imagine training with anyone else. Thanks also to Matt for the nutritional help, I've completely changed my attitude to food and now enjoy living a really healthy and clean lifestyle. I would recommend Roar to anyone. Yes it is expensive but you get what you pay for and for me it has been worth every penny. Thank you Roar!!

R. W.

Roar Fitness have an amazing team of experts, and a very high energy and positive environment. Sarah's tailored diet consultations and constant progress tracking made sure I was on track. My trainer, Luke Grahame, incorporated different types of training to ensure I got the maximum out of my hourly workouts, and constantly pushed me to do better. Training at Roar Fitness is worth your time and investment, go for it!

F. A.

Roar fitness really is the place to go if you want to improve your fitness. My trainer Anca has been fantastic. I am the most reluctant client who came to roar fitness to improve my strength and stamina after 20 years of inactivity. She has worked with me to encourage me, enthuse me and get me moving in the right direction towards my goals. I even signed up for a further 12 weeks and it is all down to her patience, understanding and flexibility with fitting me in despite my hectic schedule. If you are looking for a great friendly place to train then you cannot go wrong by choosing this gym.

A. F.

I have been training with James Castle-Mason at Roar and have achieved fantastic results over the past 10 week - have just signed up for another package as I am so thrilled with everything achieved. James is a brilliant trainer - patient with newbies (I had never been in a gym in 36 years - a.k.a. my entire life) and diligent, ensuring you get the best out of both yourself and the training programme. Josh Faux oversaw my nutrition - and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the progress and the experience generally. It is something I am 100% planning on continuing and recommend 100%.

V. M.

I started my Roar journey in October 2019 and was lucky enough to be paired with trainer Alex Knox. I was pretty nervous to begin but Alex made sure I was always pushing myself in the right direction and meeting my goals each week. We often laugh about how I couldn't even lift the dead weight bar at the beginning of the programme and how much stronger and fitter I was by the end of the 12 weeks. She also never complained about having to train me at 6.30am every other morning which was a massive ask! I couldn't have been happier with the service and support, both physically and mentally, I got at Roar and feel like i've got a real friend through Alex! She's the best and I couldn't recommend her more!

H. B.

I can’t praise the trainers at Roar enough. I signed up for the original transformation programme and both Mel who was my trainer and Matt who was managing my nutrition were outstanding. It was evident from the start they are super knowledgeable and tailored the programme to meet my goals. After the 12 weeks I was absolutely delighted with the results, so much so I signed up again with Ethan as my trainer. He is an absolute professional and his focus on technique and dedication to helping me meet my new set of goals has been hugely motivational. I really trust Ethan and despite trying to fit training in around a busy schedule he knows how to get the most from me in every session. I’m quite literally going from strength to strength and enjoying every minute . I’d recommend this to anyone looking for top notch professional support with their fitness journey no matter the goal and an added bonus is that everyone else is in the same boat so it’s a really supportive environment! I"m now 9 months on and still coming back for more - that's testament in itself!

H. M.

Roar is an incredible one stop shop for body and lifestyle transformations. The atmosphere is electric and the client service is unparalleled. I train with Anca, who provides unfailing support and enthusiasm, and tailor makes each session around my individual goals to produce bespoke results. I couldn’t speak more highly of the entire experience.

A. P.

Training at Roar with Jack has been absolutely fantastic. From the start Jack has been brilliant at explaining every exercise and what it targets. He always keeps me motivated, always encourages/pushes me to lift weights I never knew I could and most importantly has taught me to never give up on the last rep. Jack is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and he provides great advice. He makes sure every single challenging session is full of humour and even remains patient when I’m having a bad day. The results I’ve seen over the last few months has been incredible and my whole attitude towards fitness has changed. Matt has provided excellent nutrition advice and has completely overhauled my terrible diet. Matt has always answered all of my nutrition queries, it’s great to have his help, support and excellent nutritional tips. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to get these results without Jack & Matt and cannot thank them enough for all they do!

D. B.

I just completed a 12-week program with Roar and it certainly delivered on its promise! Roar provides the most thorough and well-rounded exercise and nutrition program out. If you follow what they say, you will get results. Alex was a terrific trainer. He is not the shouting/commando-type but has the ability to get you to reach from within and push yourself – a truly invaluable quality in a trainer. He was focused, easy going and provided the perfect balance of flexibility and guidance - not to mention the good chat and friendly banter in between sets which added some fun and made the one hour sessions fly by (also helped with pushing through the pain!). Luke was also equally dedicated to the cause handling my nutrition plan. He provided clear guidance, adjusted the plan as I progress through the program and most importantly kept me accountable. I was in very good hands with these two and look forward to tackling another 12-week program.

A. H.

I am 7 weeks into a 12 week programme at ROAR and thoroughly enjoying every moment. My trainer, Kari, is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. She knows exactly how to motivate me and ensures that every session is varied, challenging and fun. Alongside the training, Josh has been keeping me focussed on maintaining a nutrition plan which not only suits my lifestyle but is targeted at achieving my goals. So far I’m seeing some good results and feeling stronger - so looking forward to the next 5 weeks!

c. k.

I did a course of 35 training sessions with James Castle-Mason at ROAR fitness. James was excellent - extremely knowledgeable, pushed me right to my limits, and a nice guy who is fun to train with. I went from around 77kg when I started to around 72kg when I finished, so I dropped a total of 5kg which I was very happy with. More importantly I lost a lot of body fat, dropped from a 36 inch waist to a 32 inch waist, am visibly bigger and feel very strong. Josh Faux was my nutrition advisor, which is a critical part of the equation. He really helped me to focus on what I was eating, and over the course of the training we reduced my calorie intake gradually, which helped make it not too painful. Josh was also excellent, a nice guy and knew his stuff. The facilities at ROAR are great, and all the personal trainers are very friendly. Even when it was at its busiest, you never had to wait more than a minute or so to use any of the equipment as everyone is very considerate. I would recommend ROAR to everyone who wants to get in shape. It is not cheap, but for me it was worth every penny as I look much better and feel so much better about myself.

I. S.

I just finished my 12-week course with Jack Pressling at Roar Fitness and I can say that for the first time in my life i can see a big difference. Jack not only knew exactly what to work on, when to push hard & when to easy off but he made the entire 3-month experience a very pleasant one, always smiling and motivating me to do a little bit better each session. We did a special program for my triathlon preparation and it definitely help me tremendously during the race. I also worked with Josh Faux on my nutrition, who was excellent and able to guide me in the right direction on diet dos and don'ts. I'm looking forward to my next course with Jack in the fall. I strongly recommend Roar Fitness and Jack personally.

J.

Currently halfway through my programme I never thought I would get addicted to the gym and that’s thanks to training with Alex. Such a top guy, I felt comfortable straight away and he keeps you motivated for the whole session. I never thought I would be lifting the weights I’m currently lifting as never had the confidence but Alex changed that and I feel myself getting stronger each week. I have always worried about bulking up weight training but I’m trusting the process and seeing some results. Roar have created such a great atmosphere to train in, all staff are positive, personable, knowledgeable and you can tell they are generally great friends too. My nutrition is being looked after by Matt who is keeping me on track in trying to reach my goal. I’m already planning what I’m going to do next with Roar before this plan is even finished. Would definitely recommend

A. B.

ROAR's protein shakes bring all the boys and girls to the gym! Not quite true.... but they certainly all leave the gym with one, plus the benefits of a life changing experience led by some of the best in the business. The friendly and highly experienced staff certainly do keep all the boys and girls going to the gym though. I started with a 12 week package, and am still regularly attending months later. The lovely beefcake that is Alex Smith ensures I “work it” to the max each session, lifting weights I never thought possible, and ensuring much fun is also being had. Having a sound knowledge in nutrition already, I find my assessment sessions with the incredibly supportive and inspirational Sarah Lindsay (that bod...!) a great way of being accountable and implementing new dietary approaches. Sarah's pep talks have given me the confidence to challenge myself beyond what I ever thought was possible. I’ve basically been on to a winner from the start. It is extremely rewarding to know you’ve been challenged like this during each session and watch your body transform week on week. The 1:1 set up and variety of equipment ensures a range of techniques are used to produce a bespoke plan to meet my personal goals and abilities. My ROAR experience has been the best thing I've ever done in my fitness journey so far. FACT. I went to ROAR for structure, accountability and support, I got that and a whole lot more. Thank you Team ROAR: you’re all awesome x

D.

I’m coming to the end of my 12 weeks and whilst it’s be challenging it has also been so rewarding. I now feel confident using weights where as I would usually shy away from this area in a gym. I’ve loved training with Nicolle - she pushes me hard and I can’t believe how much I’ve progressed. Matt’s provides great support and ideas on the nutritional side. I enjoy every session and always receive a friendly welcome from everyone.

B. H.

I am coming to the end of my training at Roar (having already extended once, I’m hooked!) and I’ll be so sad to go. I never thought I could enjoy weight training, or generally personal training, as much as I have and I feel so lucky that my experience has been with Laura, who has made it such fun! She keeps our sessions interesting, mixes things up so I don’t know what’s coming and is so easy to talk to that the hour flies by. Laura’s patient, kind and motivational style suits me perfectly and she always encourages me to push that little bit harder to reach the next level. She has made my commute across London and my three trips per week to Roar something I look forward to and if I could keep training with her, I would in a heartbeat! Matt has made my nutrition plan personal to me and has adapted to accommodate my needs and development at every step of the way – he makes it not nearly so scary as it might first sound! I couldn’t recommend Roar highly enough, and particularly Laura and Matt, who have really made my time there so much fun and have inspired me to make a real lifestyle shift. Thank you Roar! 🐯

L. H.

I've been training with Alex for the past 8 weeks and have genuinely enjoyed every session...apart from split lunges ;) I hadn't trained for quite a while before starting, and Alex has helped me gain so much strength in such a short amount of time, and feel confident in the gym again - you're in a good pair of hands, he's a top trainer! Hugely knowledgeable team and everyone is really friendly - it's worth the investment!

L. T.

I've just finished a 12 week programme at Roar and I've found the experience absolutely transformational - both physically and mentally. After several years of no exercise due to a busy schedule and an aversion of smelly, sweaty gyms, I joined Roar. The gym is clean, friendly and has a supportive atmosphere - I genuinely looked forwards to every one of my sessions. I trained with James who was amazing ensuring that my lifting technique was correct from the start and encouraged me in every single session, keeping count of the reps and kept me laughing in between! I've been amazed at what I can achieve with his support. My training changed over the 12 weeks so I was never bored or stagnated. Equally important in the programme was spending time with my nutrition guru Josh whose friendly approach totally transformed my ingrained attitude to eating and was always there with suggestions on meals when I felt challenged and gave continual support. He monitored my progress throughout so to tweak and adapt the nutrition as needed. I wouldn't have made the significant changes in my body shape or strength without him. Roar is an amazing place full of amazing professional staff who are producing amazing results.

K. M.

Started with Roar 3 months ago and over the course of this time I've not only lost weight and put on muscle, but learnt eating and training habits that will enable me to continue past working with them. All the staff (especially my trainer Hym and nutrition consultant Luke) were knowledgeable and most of all friendly and I'd highly recommend Roar to anyone who wants to learn skills as well as see results.

C. V.

The team at Roar are brilliant. Nearing the end of my sessions, I’m feeling much fitter, leaner and happier in myself. What they say they can do is all completely true. I tried and tried on my own for years and failed, but a few months training with them was like magic. Just really wanted to give a big shout-out to James my personal trainer who knows his stuff and just a wonderful person to be around. James is the absolute best of the best when it comes to training and it’s been a pleasure to work out each session. Thanks for always pushing me to my max. Also thanks to Matt my nutritionist who has also been fantastic at tailoring and answering all of my many questions. I really enjoyed every step and highly recommend the Roar team.

K. D. S.

The endless stars on Roar’s reviews speak for themselves—this is an engaging and effective training program that will not leave you disappointed. Working with Tom has been a gift and the highlight of my time spent with Roar as his meticulous attention to detail and his skilful ability to know exactly how hard and when to push me into new personal bests ensured that I was getting the most out of my 12 weeks. I never imagined that I was strong enough to reach where I have in such a limited time, but Tom has shown me what I am capable of and given me the motivation to keep pushing myself forward. I simply could not have asked for a better personal trainer. My initial physical assessment with Neil allowed me to become more aware of the habits I hold within my body, while my check-ins with Josh on nutrition added another layer of accountability and pushed me to put more time and effort towards what goes into my body. I have gained so much from Roar, and I will take these lessons with me as the benefits of this program extend far beyond the number of weeks you spend training with the team.

C. P.

I’m a huge fan of Roar. I first came here a couple years ago and was so impressed with the calibre of training and the great buzz the place has. I’ve made lifelong friends here. After lockdown I signed up again immediately, obvs. Sarah the owner is fantastic. What a visionary. Her brother Matt has been amazing helping me with my nutrition and being really supportive. But the best part is my trainer Lena. Lena shows up with a smile every time and really cracks the whip! She comes with all the support and encouragement I need. I’m really excited to reach new levels of fitness with Lena. Plus we basically laugh the whole time while simultaneously getting shredded. So what’s not to love?!

R. R.

Came across Roar Fitness by chance and decided to give it a go...the 12 weeks were tough going and hard work...the results however speak for themselves and I am super pleased with what I was able to achieve. I have trained with many gyms and trainers and I can honestly say the standards at Roar are among the highest I have experienced. The trainers are exceptionally well qualified and the results I achieved would not have been possible without their help and support. A HUGE thanks to everyone in helping me with my transformation. If you are thinking of a transformation challenge train with the best!

I have been going to Roar Fitness for a couple of weeks now and I can honestly say that it has been one of the best life experiences. Roar is a very professional environment and they deliver what they promise! I can already see a positive shift in my energy levels and I am sculpting muscles that I did not know I had! And this is all thanks to my fabulous trainer Laura who encourages me to really push my limits, both physically (you can always do one more rep!) and mentally! Laura is super professional, a passionate person with a strong work ethic. She knows exactly how to tailor-make each training session so I get the best results! She is funny and supportive, and extremely encouraging! Not to mention that she makes nothing out of a running a challenging marathon! I very much look forward to each training session with Laura as I know I will come out re-energised, motivated and sculpted :-)!! Big thanks also to Matt for being patient and providing support and encouraging words on the nutrition front! And for dealing with those sugar dips! The team at Roar, and my trainer Laura in particular, really do excell in what they do! Roar on!

I have lost 30kg since the start of my programme with the help of Tom and Matt. I have seen such impressive results (not limited to weight loss, but also strength and nutrition education) that I have signed up for an extra 4 weeks. Tom is the best PT I've ever had - the results speak for themselves, and Matt has taught me so much about food etc. that I have tools and knowledge that I can use going forwards.

H. O.

ROAR is a fantastic gym. I've been training with Alex S who is an absolute superstar. He's fun and easy going (most of the time!) but keeps me on my toes and as a result after a few weeks with him I've lost 5kg and am in the best shape of my life. Totally worth it!

A. C.

I'm half way through my programme at ROAR and it has been amazing so far. My trainer, Kari, has been so motivating and has pushed me in every session. I've always been really intimidated and a bit clueless when it came to working out and losing weight but now I'm training at ROAR I feel so comfortable and confident! I'm learning so much in every session and have already seen good results! The team at ROAR are so lovely and supportive. I cannot recommend them enough!!

K. R.

I started at Roar in January with the aim of building strength to improve my running. Since then, thanks to the brilliant support of my trainer, Yordan, and helpful nutrition advice from Matt, I've done my personal best in the marathon and half marathon and I feel fitter and stronger than ever. I love it so much I've signed up to a second 12-week course and I plan to continue after that. I highly recommend Yordan as a trainer. He's dedicated, incredibly patient, always pushes me further, and most importantly, has a great sense of humour.

A. E.

I have to admit, that I was quite sceptical going into this program with an online trainer. In the past I've had the best results when I've had a PT right in front of me pushing me to my limit. However, having worked with Luke has been an absolute pleasure. Having the weekly check-ins have been such a great support to have, and receiving a new workout plan on a monthly basis has made working out really motivational and inspiring. The quality of the program is incredibly high and efficient, with easy-simple workouts that you feel safe doing alone, but with great results. He has also been incredibly understanding and respectful of things in my private life, that may have altered my motivation to work out or eat healthily - however, having his understanding and never ending support further inspired me to continue my workout journey. I am very happy to say I have signed on for 12 new weeks and am very excited to continue working with Luke!

M.

I've worked with James Castle-Mason coming up to 12 weeks, and it has been by far the best decision I have ever made. And what a fantastic experience it has been. The support I have received from James has been incredible allowing me to come out of my comfort zone and really enjoy our sessions. James is a remarkable trainer and has been so inspiring, to work with always happy to answer my nonstop questions. James has given me the skills I need to carry on by myself and I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me. My nutrition has been directed by Josh who has been wonderfully supportive and has really helped me overhaul my diet. Thank you so much to Roar for a great service and a wonderful place to train.

J. L.

5 stars to Roar's East Cheap gym - it's been a joy to get back there after lockdown! A special shout out to trainer Tom (Tomas Paulson) who I've been training with 3 times a week since August. Tom's attention to detail and meticulous planning have meant I've seen fantastic progress week on week and shifted all my excess lockdown lard in a few weeks, whilst still gaining muscle & strength - thank you Tom & roll on this week's sessions!

J. B.

I have just finished my 12 week program with the marvellous Tom and have achieved even better results than I was expecting! Tom has been incredibly patient, is always encouraging, explains the technique and makes sure I get it right (something I really value) and pushes me to my limits (and beyond!). I have never done a purely weights-based training program before and have found it much more enjoyable than any other exercise program or PT session I have previously done. Apart from the physical results, the mental break it provides has been a key incentive for me to renew for another 12 weeks. Big shout out also Matt who has been great on the nutrition front. He listens and works with you on any issues and is always positive and encouraging (but at the same time completely honest and realistic which I appreciate). Looking forward to my next 12 weeks!

E. P.

I am coming to the end of an amazing 12 weeks at Roar under the watchful eye of Nicolle as my PT and Matt doing my nutrition. They have both been absolutely amazing and beyond supportive through my whole journey. Nicolle has been so encouraging and always pushed me a bit further than I thought possible in each session and combined with Matt’s great nutritional advice, I am thrilled with the improvements in my fitness and general health. I would recommend Nicolle, Matt and the whole Roar team to anyone wanting to make the same changes/improvements!

F. P.

I finished my 12 weeks at Roar, and its been such a great experience. Excellent set-up with an amazing team of professionals and a great atmosphere. My trainer Alex has been very supportive and helped me gain so much strength in such a short amount of time - I highly recommend him!! Thanks Alex and thanks Roar for all your support, I hope to come back very soon.

S.

Joyous atmosphere of support and hard work, the friendliest gym I've ever been to even though the exercising itself is brutally hard. Ridiculously talented and fit team who genuinely care about their clients' progression. I worked with Hym as my PT who was brilliant at customising exercises when needed, pushed me beyond my perceived limits, and was utterly fantastic at correcting form and showing all the exercises so that I did everything correctly. He is a professional of the highest standard. Matt's food plan was sustainable and manageable, and his support was invaluable in weaning me off my bad food habits. Highly recommend!

S. S.

Nothing but positive things to say about my experience at Roar Fitness. I signed up on a 12 week transformation programme initially but have carried on in order to maintain the results I achieved and because I thoroughly enjoy the PT sessions with Laura. Doing this programme has permanently changed the way I eat and train and after years of effort in the gym without much progress, I now look and feel 100% better! I would thoroughly recommend the experience and especially training with Laura who is super tough but lovely with it and definitely gets results!

Y. K.

Anca has been an incredible PT, she is kind, yet firm. I am truly grateful for her support. She has pushed me way beyond my boundaries. I’ve discovered inner & outer strength & am blown away by the results. I love training at Roar, love the discipline, which now permeates through all aspects of my life. Matt is brilliant with nutrition advice. The entire team are professional & amazing. It’s like being part of a wonderfully supportive family. Thank you!

M. D.

I've trained with several PT's, and gone through all kinds of fitness programmes. I came to Roar Fitness because I was at a low point in my life. The journey has been an amazing experience. In my first consultation, I was greeted by Sarah with understanding, empathy and positive support. I immediately knew I was going to be looked after. I got assigned to Jack for my fitness and I'm compelled to sing his praises! He is consistently positive and high energy. He knew exactly when to be supportive and when to push me harder, so that I could breakthrough and become stronger than I ever have been. The 12 week programme gave me the discipline and consistency that I was searching for, and I enjoyed the new-found strength (body and mind) so much so that I extended my time with them, and definitely will be coming back. If you're considering going with Roar Fitness, don't hesitate. It will change you for the positive. Love these guys!

I joined Roar during the summer, signing up to the online programme as I'm Dubai based. Since moving to the UAE the pounds were slowly creeping on. After thinking about Roar for 6 months, I finally took the plunge and signed up in July. I'm now 11KG lighter, a dress size smaller, and have signed up for a further 8 weeks. The fitness and training programmes are totally tailored to me which I fully believe is why it actually works. This is by far the best fitness programme I've ever signed up to. Massive thanks to Luke Grahame who has helped me achieve my fitness and lifestyle goals in only 12 weeks; I'm excited to keep working with him as he is really fantastic! Super helpful. knowledgeable, and always on the ball when it comes to answering emails about my workouts or nutrition. It makes such a massive difference working with someone who's such a professional. Thank you Luke!

H. O. A.

I’ve trained with some of the competitors and I have to say I love this place. They have listened and understood my requirements, tailored my training and generally really looked after me. My trainer Alex is awesome! His cheerful greeting is always welcoming before the real hard work starts. He really does know how to get the best out of me. He’s encouraging, motivational and extremely knowledgeable. At the end of each session you feel exhausted but great! Highly recommend

C. O.

Roar Fitness is fantastic. I lost 8 kilos in 10 weeks thanks to the detailed diet plan and the hard work of my excellent PT, Pierce, who keeps me motivated no matter how sore, lazy or stressed I feel. There's a great atmosphere in the gym. The staff are professional and the equipment is excellent. I would highly recommend Roar and Pierce!

L. E.

Training at Roar has been a fantastic and enlightening experience, one that I would highly recommend signing up to for anyone contemplating doing so. From start to finish there is a sense that the team is really focussed on helping you achieve your specific goals and the atmosphere in the gym is welcoming, inclusive and relaxed. I was lucky to be paired with Ethan as a trainer who has been a brilliant coach with an excellent balance of getting you to work hard whilst providing encouragement and support, always explaining everything very clearly and with a great sense of humour. Under his tutorage I have gained the tools and confidence to go to the weights section in a gym without feeling lost or intimidated- the focus on technique and tempo at Roar is superb (also reinforced by Yordan who seamlessly covered a training session while Ethan was on holiday). During my time at Roar I also had tailored nutritional advice from Josh who was great at understanding and working with my lifestyle, work patterns and personal training aims. These nutrition principles and planning have reinforced healthy, long lasting habits. In summary team Roar are a great bunch and first class at what they do- I’ve had great fun while training there and finished the programme feeling like a new person. So a big thank you from me to you all!

I hit the jackpot when I signed up to Roar and was allocated Matt for both my training and nutrition. When I started my 12 week transformation programme in January, despite being outwardly confident, it wasn’t how I was truly feeling on the inside. 10 weeks in and I’m feeling far better about myself than I ever have done before. Not only is Matt highly knowledgeable and supportive as a trainer, his passion for getting you the results that you want is really clear to see. He genuinely cares. Every session he brings the same positive and motivating attitude that make training with him an absolute pleasure. He has instilled me with the self-belief that I’ll be able to lift the weights and, when I feel l like I can’t do another rep, his encouragement spurs me on. I haven’t had a session yet where he hasn’t made me chuckle in between reps – whether it’s his singing and dancing along to Britney or discussing his questionable sock choices…. He ensures that I always leave the gym happy and buzzing. On the nutrition front, Matt has provided clear guidance and support to ensure that my eating habits change for the better. He spends a lot of time going through my plan with me to make sure that I understand it and answers every silly question that I may have. It’s invaluable education that I will have for life. I must also give a shout out to a few of the other people that make Roar the incredible personal training facility that it is…. Thank you to Abbie for being so welcoming and making you feel comfortable from day one. To Jack for making me laugh whilst bantering with Matt and I... your banter skills are nearly as good as ours ;-) To Ethan for supporting me on my quest for a normal cup of tea and to Laura for being a running inspiration. This is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself and I can’t thank you enough for making it happen.

L. D.

It’s not an overstatement to say that Roar, specifically Tom and Josh, have changed my life! When I first walked into Roar, I was absolutely terrified- but all the staff are so friendly and so dedicated to helping you achieve your goals that it’s impossible not to feel at ease. Tom has been a superstar- I am not a natural gym goer, but I have loved working with him and have been so surprised at what I am actually capable of with his meticulous instruction and tailored programme. Tom is always so motivated and has encouraged me to push myself way beyond my expectations. He has the patience of a saint and I genuinely cannot imagine how I could have done this without him, or ever having a different trainer now. On the nutrition front, Josh has completely overhauled how I think about food. He has been so kind and supportive throughout the process and again, I couldn’t have stuck to this without his regular check ins and encouragement. Roar has been turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done- can’t recommend these guys highly enough!

Everyone has personal fitness goals, no matter whether it’s gaining strength, weight loss or having a lifestyle change. Mine? To kick hyper-mobility in the ass. Joining Roar Fitness wasn’t a decision I took lightly, until I had an induction with Sarah and instantly knew it was something I needed to invest in. I have been incredibly lucky and struck gold having trained with Adam (AKA The A Team) for the last 6 months where he has thoughtfully tailored each session to my capabilities, needs and goals whilst providing a wealth of knowledge, drive and constant support throughout each week. His continuous encouragement and enthusiasm have allowed me to build strength in places I never knew muscles existed, and lift weights I didn’t think my joints could ever take. Besides the physical training, Adam is the true definition of dedicated and goes above and beyond to see you succeed. Not only does he make each session enjoyable, but he genuinely cares for your progress, just as much as you. From day one, my goals have been his goals and he has without a doubt, believed in me more than I ever did - I say a negative, Adam will inevitabley fire back a positive! He has taught me the importance of consistency and progression in my training and how to ingrain fitness into my lifestyle in a comfortable and non-evasive way. This is what set Roar apart from other gyms; it eliminates all the intimidating aspects of weight training and is so much more than just 3 gym sessions a week. The trainers are an incredibly talented, passionate bunch who push you to limits you never thought you’d reach. You don’t think you can do something, but they have a way of proving you wrong! One negative, you’ll most certainly never want to leave.

L. W.

The last 12 weeks have been a life changer for me, I've learnt so much from my Roar experience and it will certainly influence my training, nutrition and lifestyle choices going forward. Nicolle has been a brilliant trainer, making me push myself to the max every session whilst making the hard training sessions really enjoyable and rewarding! I look forward to every session and enjoy having a laugh with Nicolle at the same time. Matt has provided me with great nutrition advice that I've learnt so much from, it has made a huge difference to my progression over the last 12 weeks and been a real education. I'm absolutely delighted with what Roar have helped me to achieve and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about joining. Thank you Nicolle & Matt!

A. F.

What other gyms promise, Roar delivers. My experience with Roar has been nothing but the most dedicated, professional team of trainers leading the field. My trainer Alex has helped me achieve my goals through motivation and hard work combined though a robust diet plan. Many other gyms will offer the diet plan or either the PT sessions. What makes Roar difference is that the nutrition and on hand guidance and advice is the guaranteed formula for you to succeed. They really are the best out there and Sarah and her team are second to none.

M. P.

I've faced challenges when I started at ROAR, but this experience is really eye opening for me. Thanks to Kari and her really really really kind support, I've never felt stronger and healthier before. She pushed me to do something I thought I couldn't and it made me realize what I'm really capable of! Thank you also to the whole ROAR team for making me feel comfortable and confident every time I step in the gym. This is the place to go if you feel like changing your life style

S. C.

I’ve been training at Roar for a while now and just love it!! I train with Jack who pushes me to the limit in every session. Jack is incredibly knowledgeable and is always ready to explain the exercises and what part of the body they are targeting. With Jack’s guidance I am lifting weights I never thought possible. The whole team at Roar are so welcoming and always ask how you are getting on as they have a genuine interest in your progress. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough and never thought I would look forward to training so much. Thanks Jack for making the sessions so much fun too. We always have a laugh!!!

C. F.

I was looking for a fully supported, kick up the ‘exercise’ backside, no holds barred, push me to the extreme experience, and Roar Fitness did not disappoint! Luke at Kinetic Health (based within Roar) assessed me for injuries before I started and throughout my training he worked with Jack suggesting additional exercises and variations on a theme to achieve my goals safely. Jack my PT took me under his wing and was great to work with. He took me to the edge and back again more times than I can count, and in so doing helped me lose three dress sizes in 12 weeks….all with a smile and a joke that kept me motivated and looking forward to our sessions. Jack enthusiastically helped me build my confidence in the gym, which I take with me going forward and together with Matt my nutritionist helped me completely overhaul my diet, a long overdue challenge. I shall miss my weekly sessions at Roar, but will be back for more I am sure. It was so much fun and just a little bit addictive!

L.

I have just finished an 8 week programme at Roar with the exceptional Nicolle as my trainer and the brilliant Josh on the nutrition side. It has been a fantastic positive experience with great results even in a short timeframe. I loved my regular visits to the gym with such support and encouragement and even though the sessions are hard I looked forward to each one knowing that I was on a path to great results - i lost a stone in just under 8 weeks. I can't praise Nicolle enough, she was brilliant, so positive and very quickly worked out how to get the best out of me and push me to my limits. Josh was equally awesome, always so supportive and I learned so much working with him. Between them I achieved results I didn't think possible and its been a hugely positive life changing experience. I miss them both now I've graduated but look forward to coming back soon!

I started at Roar in August 2017 after being out of the gym for 12 months with an injury. After research, I found Roar could be the place for me. I met Sarah who was so positive and started training with Pierce 3 times a week 6am and seeing Josh for nutrition every 3 weeks .... here I am nearly a year later with no intention of giving up my slot with Pierce! I started wanting to lose weight and now I just want to be strong and push myself each workout. The positive impact on mental health too should not be understated. I have totally lucked out with the dream team combo and I am super thrilled with my experience. You have to be in 100% and you see and feel results. All the trainers I have met in the gym are very encouraging and friendly.

A. D.

Amazing team of professionals, great facilities, warm and welcoming atmosphere. I was lucky to come across Roar Fitness when I was desperate and convinced that nothing would help me to get back into shape after trying so may different things, failing and getting more and more disappointed. Sarah's honest, patient and friendly way of communication and wealth of experience lead me to give the 12-week fat loss program a go! So happy I did: I lost 13 kg, feel energized, strong and confident. This program, while not cheap, is worth every penny and is one of the best investments I have made. It does not stop after 12 weeks, it teaches you key principles of smart food choices and approach to workout that you can apply going forward - and this alone is priceless. Nutrition plan was very clear, versatile and gave a lot of clean but delicious options to not get bored. It is not easy as you have to let go of old unhealthy eating habits, but it never left me hungry and I soon could see benefits and realize that it can still be delicious (it helps if you cook). I enjoyed my workouts with Melissa: she is professional, friendly, patient and at the same time firm, perfect combination to achieve results! There is a special place in my heart for the Team Roar Fitness. Thank you for helping me to reverse my weight gain trend for the first time in 5 years and getting back my energy, confidence and fitness!

I wanted to leave a review as I've just come to the end of my 12 week transformation programme with Roar, and have enjoyed it so much that I’ve signed up for another 12 weeks. I’d done a bit of training before joining, but had never felt completely comfortable in a gym and I wasn’t achieving the results I wanted. After joining Roar, I was lucky enough to be placed with Kari for my training, and Sarah for nutrition which turned out to be such a dream team. Kari is the best; she’s always in a good mood and she manages to make each session both challenging and enjoyable. She’s given me such confidence in lifting more than I ever had before and I now can’t imagine training with anyone else! Sarah’s knowledge of nutrition is incredible and the nutrition plan she gave me helped me achieve my weight loss goals whilst never feeling like I was depriving myself. I can't recommend the team here highly enough. Long story short, I haven’t come across anywhere in London that gives what Roar does. Your programme is tailored to suit your own goals and the space and the people create the environment for you to achieve them. If you’re thinking about joining, definitely give it a go - you’ll be glad you did. The results on the Instagram page speak for themselves!

J. D.

Having a fused spine I was worried about joining a gym, but Roar Fitness are incredible and adapt their training to each person's requirements. My PT is Jasper the Giant, who has made me feel so confident in myself. He gives you the drive to achieve things you didn't think you had in yourself. The entire team are so friendly and helpful. A shout out to Josh the nutritionist also, and the amazing Sarah - a Goddess.

E. R.

I can't speak highly enough of Roar. From my initial meeting with Sarah to my 3x a week sessions with Tom Paulson, I had an amazing (although painful!) experience. Tom was professional, motivational, encouraging and a genuinely lovely trainer to be paired with and Matt was excellent on the food front to keep me sticking to the plan and encouraging me when I was finding it tough. The team gave me the motivation to continue exercising and eating healthily long after finishing my 12 week programme and I wouldn't have been able to do it without them.

N. S.

I started my fitness program as a complete gym novice. I didn’t know the basics, Sets? Reps? Tempo? Dumbbells? Bench Press? I mean I knew nothing!! I started my program more as a lifestyle change than any vein attempt for self-improvement. I was at a point in my life where I needed focus and this was the reason I contacted ROAR. It was quite simply one of the best decisions I have ever made and has changed my body and mind forever. Luke has held my hand (not literally) every step of the way and has been patient when I have bombarded him with ridiculous questions and there were plenty. After 4 months following the fitness program, nutrition plan, no alcohol to the letter the transformation is remarkable and much more than I’d hope for. It’s been a very tough journey but with the help and support from Luke my new lifestyle will continue as it’s now a part of me, the transformation is complete. I would wholeheartedly recommend ROAR Fitness to everyone who wants to change their life for the better, physically and mentally. Remember I knew nothing and did the whole plan remotely, if I can do it anyone can!

V. B.

I have just finished my 12 week programme at Roar with Marion Reguera as my trainer but I had also the pleasure of training with Alex Smith and Yordan Stovyanov. All trainers were brilliant and really focused on getting the technique exactly right to build my strength and tone. All trainers were challenging me with the right amount of pressure and humour making it fun to work out again and building the consistent habit that I lost along the way. Josh Faux’s nutrition plan was straight forward and easy to follow. Josh understood what my objectives were and my lifestyle with work / life balance and built the plan around me. The pounds fell off and with the combined diet and training I lost two stone but the number doesn’t matter as I’m in great shape, feel fantastic, have more confidence and got that consistent habit of eating right and exercising again. Amazing experience, totally recommend Roar.

T. B.

I absolutely loved training with Nicolle at Roar. She was the perfect trainer - she always had amazing energy whether it was at 6.30am or 7pm. Her energy always lifted me and pushed me in each session. She listened to any feedback about how my body was reacting to certain exercises and would tailor the workout as a result. She was a stickler for form and making sure I was doing things correctly and couldn't get injured. Fitting back into my old clothes and no longer feeling not myself has been great - and doing this in a healthy way with plenty of eating has been really beneficial. I would highly recommend.

R. B.

I have had an amazing time training with Nicolle at Roar over the past few months. As a total gym newbie, Nicolle has exemplified 1-2-1 personal training at it’s best. She has been incredibly patient and supportive, guiding me consistently on the right technique and form, whilst pushing me consistently - and as a result I’ve managed to achieve results and perform in ways I didn’t know possible. Couldn’t have asked for a better trainer or experience and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with Nicolle and Roar!

K. P.

I have joined countless gyms over the years and whilst I start off keen and eager, this enthusiasm quickly diminishes as the weeks go on. I’ve been working with my trainer Mike Carter at Roar for about 5 months so far and this is the first time I’ve really enjoyed training. Mike has kept me motivated week in week out and really cares about my progress. He is constantly pushing me to my limits and as a result I have seen my fitness and strength levels improve consistently since I started. I've lost weight and even more importantly to me, have dropped a dress size. It's also been a great help to check in with one of Roar's nutritionists (mine is Josh Faux) every few weeks to measure my progress and talk about ways of working a healthier diet into every day life. Josh is great and the diet plan he set to kick me off on the journey really worked. I'd highly recommend Roar to anyone who wants to start personal training. Mike and the team are a great bunch and the programme really works.

J. F.

I cannot recommend Roar highly enough. I trained with Alex for 12 weeks and saw huge results. In the past I’ve been dedicated to training and dieting in many ways, but none have come close to the results I’ve got with Roar. Josh was great in setting a nutrition plan, and on the gym floor Alex put me through my paces every time. I regularly leave looking like zombie after an intense session, but it was impossible to argue with the results. I dropped a huge amount of weight and stacked on muscle. I’ve now signed up for another 8 weeks. Whilst the sessions are hard, it’s made easier with a trainer like Alex. He’s a brilliant PT with exceptional knowledge - ask him a question about how you’re training and he’ll have a very detailed an interesting answer. On top of this, he’s a lovely chap you can have a good conversation with between your gruelling leg press sets! Just a shame he’s a West Ham fan.

J.

I'm about half way through ROAR's transformation program. Not only am I loving it but I am also learning so much as my body shape gradually changes. The ROAR team is highly professional and it's a real privilege to train in this environment. James, my trainer is extremely knowledgeable, a real expert who knows how to get the most out of me in a single workout. The gym floor banter is strong which adds to making the whole experience hard work and fun. Matt on nutrition is a highly motivated nutritional whizz who has provided clear guidance and support on the food front. I couldn't be happier with the progress made so far.....

r. s.

I started 12 weeks programme as I was out of my shape since my child birth. I thought I was eating healthy already but when I followed the nutrition plan with Matt who is very good and knowledgeable and my trainer was James who is very attentive and meticulous on each movement. I enjoyed the training so much and very happy with the result. it was the best thing I’ve ever done and best money I’ve spent. Would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of making change in their body and life style.

S.

I have had an amazing experience with Roar Fitness, particularly training with Nicolle! She has been an extremely effective trainer and has helped me develop muscles I didn’t know I had! She also focuses on proper form above everything else, which has meant that I haven’t experienced any pain while weight training. Training with Nicolle feels like training with a friend - I enjoyed training with Nicolle so much during the 12 week program that I signed up for another 8 weeks and can’t wait to see more results!

C. K.

If you want results this is hands down the place to go! A first class gym with first class personal trainers combined with Sarah's expert nutritional knowledge and guidance is what makes this such a stand out training facility. I trained with Pierce for 12 weeks and he pushed me to achieve things I never thought I could. The results speak for themselves and I cannot recommend the team at Roar Fitness enough for anyone that's ready to get in the best shape of their life.

N. T.

I joined Roar Fitness at the beginning of year following a recommendation from a friend. My aim was fairly simple: to increase basic core strength. Little did I know that 16 weeks later, well past my initial 12 week programme, I’d have smashed through my original aim and set my sights on bigger and better things! The journey would not have been possible without my trainer, Scott Anderson, and nutritionist, Matt Lindsay. Scott has been fantastic at pushing me past what I thought was achievable and encouraging me to set new targets, all the while keeping training sessions light-hearted and fun. Scott’s professional experience is evident and brings a unique perspective to the gym floor, and he always has the patience to explain new sets or get me through a tough session. Fair to say that I now look forward to each new training session; thank you Scott! Matt has completely converted my views on nutrition. I was initially quite sceptical about the whole process, but followed the plan and could hardly believe the results. I’ve really appreciated the care and thought Matt puts into each nutrition plan and retest - the things I’ve learned along the way will undoubtedly result in a lifestyle change... and nobody is more surprised about that than me! I count the decision to join Roar as one of my best ones. Thanks to the whole team at Roar Fitness for being so welcoming and making me feel a part of the “Roar family”!

Having suffered a significant injury earlier this year I had lost all my confidence when it came to my ability to train and my rehabilitation, with walking even being a struggle at times. When i first came to Roar I was worried that I wouldn’t be able keep up or that the trainers wouldn’t understand the limitations caused by my injury. However, just nine weeks of training with James Castle-Mason has exceeded the 6 months of physiotherapy I had and I’m feeling even stronger than before my accident. Training at Roar under the diligent guidance of James has reminded me how much I love weight training and I look forward to my sessions every week! I cannot recommend Roar and particularly James highly enough and I’m looking forward to continuing my training.

E. G. C.

Training with Victoria at Roar has been incredible. My first time ever in a gym and the 12 weeks flew by. She is supportive, professinal, informative all whilst encouraging and every session helping me to achieve new strength and fitness. Highly reccommend.

After a couple of years of relative inactivity, I decided I needed to get back in shape. The ROAR team have been incredible, I am 6 weeks through an 8 week programme and the change has been astonishing. The nutrition plan laid out by Josh was very clear and completely manageable, resulting in a rapid but managed loss of fat. Alex has been training me and he has been outstanding. He very quickly understood how to get the best from me and has driven me each and every session. Alex is very personable, a great communicator and clearly exceptional at training people like myself. I am feeling healthier, more energised, slimmer and far more toned than I could have imagined 6 weeks ago.

Earlier in 2018, I decided I needed to get my A into G and shed some pounds, or if you’re younger than me – kilos. Fast forward to now and I’ve just finished my 12-week programme at Roar. One of my better decision. I’m fitter, leaner, stronger and more educated, than, I thought I ever would be and that’s very much down to the team at Roar. I also, now understand, that it’s not just about the number on the scales. Having never done weight training in my life, I was filled with trepidation but my personal trainer, James, who is awesome, made every session, educational, fun and above all, very rewarding. These guys know what they are doing and know when to push you and understand what your body is capable of, way more than you do – they are the experts. I kept surprising myself with what I accomplished each week. Matt was my nutritional guru, explaining the benefits of healthy eating, what was good and what’s not. My diet has completely changed and I have more energy than I’ve had in years; although, I’ve not been able to convince him that Margaritas should be included in his nutritional plan. Rich & Sarah have got a great team at Roar and what they give all their clients, is a better understanding of themselves and what we are capable of and for that I have to say a big thank you! Sorry James, you’re too good, you’ve got me and my banter for at least another 12 weeks!

An amazing team. Coming to Roar with a knee replacement and having been slightly daunted by the weights area in gyms, I was a little apprehensive. I needn't have been - Adam, my trainer, is first-rate. He's knowledgeable, encouraging and pushes me to improve in every session. I've seen some amazing progress and seeing my strength improve so quickly is incredibly motivating! With the nutritional support alongside, the results are fantastic.

Working out at Roar has become a routine part of life for me and something I am continuing, not just a transformation. After ten surgeries in two years, and relocating countries, I was desperate to get back into the gym and relearn to lift again. Kari has been my trainer since October and I have enjoyed every second I have spent in the gym with her. She is fun, dynamic, pushes me to smash PBs and challenges me to new exercises to keep it fresh. Massive kudos to her to getting me back to lifting (and dragging the sled) at heavy weights again. Plus, the dance moves are not to be missed...The gym itself is awesome and the team are great!

K. C.

Trained with Matt at the beginning of this year after nearly 20 years of going to personal trainers on and off. I can honestly say that he is the most dedicated and motivating PT I've ever worked with. I can still see and feel the results 5 months on, having only followed up with a session or two under my own steam at weekends since. I'm the strongest I've been in my life and a wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matt and the team to anyone who really wants to break out of a rut and change their life.

N. G.

Following a motorbike accident I lost all strength, fitness levels and plenty of self-confidence over a six month period. I joined ROAR for a 12 week programme and have loved every minute of it! I feel stronger, happier, more energetic and confident than ever before. Adam has been an absolute pleasure to work with and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Rest of the team are super-friendly and clearly know what they’re doing - all clients are evidently happy even when being pushed outside our comfort zones. If you want results, go see these guys – it’s addictive and life-changing!

C. M.

I trained at Roar for three months earlier this year and loved it. Don't get me wrong, it was bloody tough. My trainer - Luke - knew how hard to push me and I left every session feeling like I'd made a change to my body. I got guided through my nutrition plan and had regular check-ins to track my progress and I was genuinely sad when my program ended. Overall, I'd really recommend Roar - if you get it your all, you'll see results.

M. L.

So glad I decided to join ROAR Fitness and sign up to a 12 week training plan. Sarah and the team are so friendly and really know their stuff. I trained with Melissa and Josh provided the nutritional guidance. Both were a delight to work with and so supportive throughout the whole process. Mel has pushed me way beyond anything I thought I was capable of. I've never been so strong and lean ever! And I even managed to do chin ups! Something I've always wanted to do. This is THEE place to go if you are looking for serious results in a friendly, supportive environment! You won't be disappointed! It's so good that I just had to stay on and now working on some new goals!

P. C.

I have been training with James at Roar Fitness for the last 2 months and signing up has been the best decision I could have made. I joined the gym with some prior experience of lifting, but James' knowledge of programming for bodybuilding/fat loss, mechanics and proper form has been incredibly useful and we got my numbers up very quickly across the main lifts where I plateaued before. We're now in a cutting stage which is going very well - really looking forward to final results and will definitely keep working with James beyond the 3 month programme. Josh who organises my nutrition and measurements is also extremely knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions/give advice. The vibe in the gym is conducive to focusing fully on fitness - hard work & fun. Pictures of transformations on the wall are super inspiring. Overall it's quite a life-changing experience, as prioritising health spilled over to improve other areas of my life like sleeping habits, alcohol consumption, productivity etc. (and spending less money eating out!). I'd recommend Roar to anyone who's got an interest in improving their overall wellness or more specific bodybuilding goals.

A. E.

I have just finished 24 weeks of training at ROAR and I just can't praise them enough. The environment is so supportive, while at the same time being extremely hard-working and as a consequence it is very inspiring. My trainer, Laura, was so patient with me but never, ever, gave me an easy ride. I worked hard, I was committed, and she gave me the same commitment. She had her work cut out, of course. I can't imagine any trainers get excited about training a 55 year old, menopausal person who has never lifted weights before but she was always supportive and pushed me and never shamed me for not being able to do something immediately. All the trainers are lovely - they get to know you and then they are encouraging you as well. My nutritionist was Matt and he was fantastic. At my last session we laughed like drains. I will miss them. I am transformed. And this is the beginning of my journey, not the end. It wasn't cheap (but why would it be? These people know their stuff!) and it's not easy but my, oh my, I have had one of the best summers of my life. Thank you ALL at Roar (particularly Laura, Matt, Alex, Adam, Scott, Jake, Abbie and the trainer who kept noticing the "development" of my arms and shoulders - such encouragement!) you have changed my life.

I have exercised for years (other personal trainers, dynamic reformer pilates, hiit on the treadmill) and been thoughtful in my eating from time to time but I have never seen such fantastic results before. Friends at parties rush over to ask what I have been doing to make such a difference . The answer is 12 weeks at Roar Fitness with Hym ( training) and Matt ( nutrition). Matt gave me a nutrition plan that made me lean but did not leave me hungry - mind blown. Hym is the best trainer I have ever had- punctual, charming, always focused on how I am executing each rep, quietly encouraging me to get the most out of every session and I feel such a sense of accomplishment after every one. And being a competitive power lifter and bodybuilder Hym is not only very knowledgable but also knows exactly what it feels like during a transformation. At my initial consultation I liked Sarah very much. It was inspiring to meet an Olympian. She has not only created two lovely gyms ( Roar 2 is absolutely gorgeous! ) but the atmosphere in both is non judgemental, supportive and happy amongst and between trainers and clients. 😊 Like the sign in Roar 1 says “Is it easy? No . Is it worth it? Yes!” So worth it I have signed up for another 12 weeks- best investment ever.

K. T.

I started training at Roar in October 2017, having read a number of reviews and seen the transformations it's something I was keen to start. I started training with Kari 3 times a week and seeing Josh for nutrition every 3-4 weeks. The transformation I've seen in myself has been amazing. Having struggled with my weight and shape for a number of years I've now got to a place where I'm truly happy and comfortable with my shape, this is something that has never happened before! Roar isn't only just about building strength and improving your fitness, it's about changing a mindset too. I really enjoy training with Kari, she pushes me hard but keeps me so motivated. Kari has a great balance of getting the best out of me but keeping the sessions fun too. Kari has helped me build the confidence to be able to train by myself too and has made me realise how much I can achieve. Sticking at something for a long period of time is something I used to struggle with, but Kari has kept me on track and I'm amazed at my progress. Josh supported me through the nutrition part, this has been a significant change for me. My diet was something I found tough in the past as I could never find the right balance. I've learnt so much from Josh around how to keep a balanced lifestyle. Thanks to both Kari and Josh and the rest of the Roar team!

a. h.

I came to Roar Fitness looking to make a big change in my life and that was exactly what I have achieved. The diet is tough and the training was even tougher (shoutout to my PT Hymsuen Liu) I was pushed to my limits, but with the support from Hym, I was taught how to manage and stay on top of my food, in addition to getting stronger/ proper form technique when lifting. It was extra motivational to have Hym dieting alongside me, he was leading by example and was able to share the experience with me. It is always great to see your trainer practise what they preach! I have come away with a great experience, knowledge on how to manage my nutrition, good habits and routines that I can hold onto for a life time. Roar Fitness is truly a life changing experience and I cannot recommend them and Hymsuen enough.

ROAR has completely surpassed my expectations. So much so, I’m going into my second 12 week programme. I knew what I wanted to do and what it would take but had never had such an amazing team around me before. My trainer Alex Smith is the best PT I’ve ever worked with and the results speak for themselves. Not only does he have me laughing my way through our savage 630 am sessions but his outrageous hair is worthy of it’s own 5* Google review and location pin. It should also be mentioned that he is an absolute tank. I would totally recommend this investment to anybody who really wants results and who will 110% commit to the work.

A. M.

I trained with Yordan and then with Anca - they were both great. They are attentive, warm, human and really know their stuff. They really care. There is also a happy vibe in the gym between all the trainers. Going to Roar is addictive. The week feels a bit flat if I don't go.

T. K.

I am nearing the end of my 12wk Roar fitness experience with the lovely Laura Ruthnum as my personal trainer. To date it has been an incredible journey. After two babies and little exercise for past few years I have miraculously dropped to pre-baby weight despite having gained muscle. Initially I was apprehensive about weight training but after my very first session I was hooked. Laura was very careful and explained how and why we were doing each exercise, that helped a lot as an incentive as it allowed me to visualise what my body could look like if I put the work in. Laura has been so supportive throughout especially when I have had a lot going on at work. She is full on hardcore but always with a positive and patient attitude which I find is important. She is very intuitive and knows when I have reached my limit and need time to recover. I highly recommend Laura to anyone about to embark on the Roar programme, I can't emphasis enough what a positive impact she has on my experience at Roar. As for the gym itself, it is has a really nice vibe, all the trainers are lovely. I thought it would be more butch, but they're all very supportive and very welcoming. There is no intimidation at all, I think mainly because everyone is there with the same goal. Josh has taken care of my nutrition and has also been very supportive; I still can't quite get my head around how I am dropping weight despite eating more calories pre Roar. I would absolutely recommend signing up with Roar and booking Laura as your PT 100%. I am resigning for another 12wks, for first time in my life I am actually confident that I could get the body I always wanted !!

E. P.

Linda is absolutely fantastic in every way! Not only did she help me regain my strength but she also helped get me into the right mindset of how to approach training, nutrition and life in general. Each session was challenging and exciting as she always made sure to push me to the limit with an extra rep or heavier weight. Through out the program I gained some serious muscle definition, confidence and a new friend! I can honestly say training with Linda was my favorite part of the week. If you’re looking to get fit and enjoy yourself while doing it, train with Linda!

S. L.

Training with Scott has been an amazing experience. He has supported me all the way, pushing and challenging me, refusing to accept my protests of "I can't do this!!". I never thought I would enjoy training so much but thanks to Scott, I genuinely loved each session - and that was 4 x week!! Scott - big thank you for keeping me on track, listening to the latest updates on my life and making me laugh :) Huge thanks to Matt - I was a challenge nutrition wise but he was always there to help and support (the socks were a happy bonus!). The success of Roar Fitness is a true testament to the expertise and dedication of all the trainers.

A. P.

I was fortunate to be training with James Castle-Mason at Roar Fitness. James is a consummate personal trainer. He is punctual, focused and one can trust his judgements. I absolutely enjoyed my sessions with James and I am very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend James and hope to start training with him soon.

T. C.

I’ve been training at Roar for the last 10 weeks or so and have definitely loved every minute of it. My trainer Anca is encouraging and supportive, and so so so knowledgeable. I’ve learnt so much from her and know she’ll continue to push me to get the best results. The team as a while are so welcoming and the gym is a friendly environment. The nutrition and training programme have made me feel the healthiest I have been in years and I can’t recommend the programme enough!

J. S.

I had signed up for the 12 week transformation at Roar and after seeing such great results after training with Jack Pressling, I chose to extend for 6 more months. Jack is clearly a knowledgable and experienced trainer who was always happy to explain every exercise and willing to adapt the routines to accommodate my host of injuries. He always encouraged me to do my best and pushed me to my limits during every training session (despite my complaints) and was dedicated to helping me achieve the best results. In spite of Jack’s attempts at humour, I have looked forward to all of my sessions and have managed to lift weights I never thought possible. I have learnt a lot from this experience (from both a nutrition and training perspective). Jack is an absolute legend who is always pushing you to do better and never judges you - you couldn’t ask for a better PT!

R. C.

The gym has great facilities and programmes tailored to individuals needs. I signed up for a 12 week programme and have already seen amazing results just after 3.5 weeks. The training is very intense nothing like I have done before but enjoyable as results are seen very quickly . I think Roar also try to match up clients with particular trainers and I couldn't be happier than having Alex Smith as my trainer , we have a good connection and banter but know when to knuckle down and get on with the serious stuff .

s. t.

Training at ROAR has got to be one of the best decisions I've made. A truly amazing experience. Everything from the workouts to the diet was carefully catered and finely tuned towards my goal. The team were always on standby to answer any queries I had, which made the process painless in some sense. Massive thank you to my trainer Matt, each session was enjoyable but tough. He knew my capabilities more than I did (sometimes I wish he didn't). He helped me absolutely destroy the goal I set myself. And I can't forget Josh, he was always on top of my diet. Tweaking the meal plan everytime my body was changing.....thank you!

O. R.

Luke is an amazing trainer. If you decide to train at ROAR I would definitely recommend taking the opportunity to work with him. His attention to detail and awareness of what your body needs means that not only have I become the strongest i've ever been, but I've gained flexibility too. I always left the gym feeling like I'd pushed myself but that was balanced with a sense of taking care of my body to make it healthier, rather than pushing it beyond what it should be doing. This work has improved my technique in other areas like running and yoga too. And essentially - the sessions were enjoyable! Luke approaches you and your training with creativity, generosity and a good sense of humour. He engages with you as an individual and tries to figure out what will work best for you both mentally and physically. Initially I wasn't convinced the gym environment was really 'me' - but honestly working with Luke has been great. He's helped me arrive at a point where I feel energised, strong and confident in my body. Massive thanks to him!

C. N.

I was trained and guided by the fantastic Hymsuen Liu (Hym). He pushed me consistently without it feeling like our sessions were a battle. He was great fun, and I could see from his sessions with others that they shared that experience. He's transformed the way I think about diet, fitness and strength and given me real confidence that I can manage those things through my life. I really couldn't recommend both Hym and Roar more highly if you're prepared to put the work in.

M. L.

Had the most amazing experience at Roar Fitness. I'm so happy with the results, went far beyond what I expected. Had the pleasure to train with Alex, who is simply brilliant, really made me feel confident I would get results. He is extremely professional, always positive and personable. The atmosphere is positive and vibrant, great energy, very inspiring, but still down to earth and not intimidating. I was also very impressed by the way you managed my diet. You made it seamless and as painfree as possible! It's worlds apart from what I was eating to where I am now.

E. C.

Since walking into ROAR six months ago incredibly self-conscious and very out of shape I can honestly say that my life has been changed. The friendly team scoop you up from the beginning and there is no looking back…… 25kg down things are very different! I have been lucky enough to train with Matt over the last six months and he really is one in a million. His passion and enthusiasm for what he does combined with his incredible knowledge and attention to detail means that you always leave the gym floor knowing you got 110% out of the session; he is a truly talented personal trainer. The sessions are always fun and his positivity is infectious and this creates a very un-intimidating place to train. Thank you Matt so much for all your hard work, dedication and patience over the last six months, the results (and my new wardrobe) speak for themselves. I look forward to continuing to smash goals I didn’t even know were possible! In addition to the training here the the comprehensive nutrition plan is an award winning formula! Sarah is an expert in what she does and this is evident from when you first meet her. Her commitment to ensuring that the right nutrition plan is created means that the very best results are achieved. The plan is incredibly detailed and informative whilst still very easy to follow - do as you’re told and you will not regret it! Sarah’s continual guidance with the food, tweaking things where necessary alongside her encouragement on the gym floor is a clear example of why this place continues to show such outstanding results. The entire team at ROAR go above and beyond what would be expected and it is about so much more than just transformations here. I am so grateful to have found them - I cannot recommend it highly enough.

S. W.

I TRAINED WITH KARI AND SHE WAS GREAT. A GOOD MIX OF FIRM / PUSHING ME - WHILST STILL BEING KIND & ACCEPTING OF THE LEVEL I WAS AT. I WAS ABLE TO LOSE WEIGHT & GAIN STRENGTH. THANKS ROAR & KARI

E. P.

Roar fitness is the one place where you realise you can achieve your goals and get to your desired body shape through the support of Sarah's nutrition plan and tips and the guidance of your assigned personal trainer - all top class and incredible! I've been training for years and following numerous nutrition plans but it's only now I truly see results and feel a lot stronger, leaner and happier with myself. It's now becoming a lifestyle and healthy addiction- I would strongly recommend it to everyone massively!!!

B. C.

I started training at Roar fitness in May and was very apprehensive. After the initial shock of the actual shifts I needed to make In terms of lifestyle and understanding what was needed of myself I threw myself in! I had a wonderful trainer, Victoria who has changed the way I think about myself and my body. Victoria is fantastic - she is empathetic, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgable and pushes me when I don’t believe in myself! Not only has she helped me accomplish my goals physically she has supported me every step of the way emotionally - this is a game changer for me. Roar fitness truly knows what you need to make that change. I feel like a different person and without Victoria and the Roar fitness plan (nutrition etc) I wouldn’t be where I am today!

D. P.

I have been trying to self train over many years in the gym- trying to pick heavier weights , trying to get stronger and toned- but without much results. Also coming out of maternity, I had put on weight that I was desperate to get rid of. Booking 12 weeks at Roar fitness with Laura has probably been the best investment I have made on myself in many years. Laura's incredible energy, determination to get me to my goals and pushing me to limits I never realised I could reach has made this weight loss journey a hard but equally rewarding journey. I have grown stronger, lost a lot of kilos and most importantly learnt how to do weights the right way so I can carry on my own if I need to. I have thoroughly enjoyed all my sessions so much so I would actually be looking forward to them. Highly recommended.

B.

Best training I have ever had - thanks to Tom Paulson. Not only do I feel 1million times better about myself, I look forward to training with him every other day. He pushes me, explains everything so well, but also is so aware of my injury. Honestly the BEST. (He is also so nice and we have fun!) The nutrition side is also amazing (thanks to Josh) and the in-house physio again is first rate (thanks to Neil). I couldn't recommend Roar more!

N. S.

I’ve recently spent 8 weeks working with Luke Grahame, achieving revolutionary results. After coming out of university, I was bored of feeling out of shape, but also tired of constantly feeling I was on a diet whilst failing to achieve results. Luke’s nutrition strategy helped greatly, throughout my time working with Roar I felt consistently satiated, and my body fat % declined rapidly. Luke’s workout strategy was also easy to follow and I more than doubled the weight I lifted across a number of core compound exercises during the 8 weeks. Overall, the results have been fantastic and the principles I’ve learned will stick with me throughout my life.

M. K.

What can I say about Alex Smith???!!!! Well....in my sessions he has made me laugh and nearly cry. Hes politely listened to me when i'm having a whingeing/moaning day and laughed at my jokes even when they weren't funny!!! Oh and i nearly forgot to mention that he is a great personal trainer! :-) He has pushed me at times when i have genuinely felt i couldn't do any more and always encourages me to do my best. I cannot recommend him enough, and also Luke who i have trained with via the online training. Everyone at Roar is very friendly and supportive. They are by far the best "gym" i have been too. Thank you so much Roar team!

V. J.

Love this place. The weights room of any gym can often be overwhelming and intimidating, whether you've never lifted a dumbell before or actually consider yourself more than capable, but it's the atmosphere that sets ROAR apart from anywhere else. That's not to say you might not feel intimidated when you arrive for your first session - let's be honest, the trainers are BUFF - but they're also incredibly professional, welcoming and friendly, and probably believe in you more than you do yourself. The support goes above and beyond three training sessions per week, and there's definitely an element of wanting to stick to the nutrition plan and give your all during training to impress your trainer and keep them happy! Sarah is a darling (scary too, sure, but in a good way) and I'm excited to see what I can achieve under her guidance over the next nine weeks. Given the option, I wouldn't ever train with anyone else again!

J. B.

I signed-up for the 12 week programme and a year later I'm still here! The process and training is addictive and ROAR provides a friendly and supportive environment. I train with James Castle-Mason who has so much knowledge and has really helped me with my form to prevent any injury - a genuinly down to earth guy who cares about his clients. My motivation to get to the gym and work, is higher than it's ever been. I now have the confidence to build on my sessions at ROAR and head to the weights area of my own gym - avoiding the drudery of the treadmill! A great investment that I would highly recommend.

E. M.

I absolutely love going to Roar! Genuinely look forward to each and every session (not something I’ve ever said in the past!). Nicolle’s such a great PT - keeping every session a challenge and encouraging me to lift weights that I never thought would be possible but having a giggle whilst we go. Matt’s been incredible on nutrition and got me out of some pretty bad habits I’d gotten myself in. I’ve had great results so far and look forward to the ‘after’ photo!

G. W.

I started training with Anca in December 2019. At 63, I was nervous about the programme as I had never lifted weights before. I’m very pleased with the results. I love the sessions which are challenging but fun. I have lost weight and can feel that my body shape has really changed for the better. My upperbody strength has improved massively. Anca’s training has made the difference. She is knowledgeable as well as supportive and enthusiastic. She is also very careful to make sure she looks after my body. Josh’s tailored nutrition plan has been helpful with the weight loss and he is also very supportive.

Z. M.

What a life changing experience and a great way to kickstart my fitness again! Thanks to Matt the nutritionist who put together a diet plan perfect for my fitness and body composition goals, and of course a HUGE shout out to Tom Paulson who was the best PT I could have asked for. He never let me give up and pushed me to lift weights I would never have done on my own. He has great professionalism and knowledge and I learnt so much about correct techniques and always loved the bonus biology-based fun facts!! The 12 week programme was so enjoyable that I signed up for more sessions straightaway. Roar Fitness ticks all the boxes, I highly recommend. Zahra :)

K. A.

I wanted a personal trainer to get me in shape for my wedding this September. After being recommended to Roar by a friend and from seeing their results from their Instagram account, I was hooked. I had Tom as my trainer and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Tom is amazing with his clients. He is friendly, very knowledgeable and knows how to get the best results. I was constantly beating my own pb's and it was with Tom's coaching that I felt comfortable in my own ability to do so. I couldn't of been happier with my progress that after my 12 week program finished, I then bought 12 add-on sessions as I was enjoying myself so much, I didn't want it to end. Tom has got me in the best shape and allowed me to have an amazing wedding as I felt completely comfortable in my own skin, and for that I am very grateful! Thank you Tom! Keighley

Fantastic gym, great trainers, huge results. This gym has all you need to cut weight and add muscle. Equipment is top notch. Facilities are great - clean showers / changing rooms. Have been working with Pierce for 3 months, great trainer, very involved and conscientious, has helped improve my form and performance significantly. Nutrition program is great, easy to follow, and works. Takes a bit of time to prep and follow but is worth it. Great atmosphere, people, and results.

O. C.

Regardless of your goals, you definitely see results with Alex,my aim initially was to strength my body which I neglected for so long , thinking that only swim bike and run ( triathlon ) training is enough . I also didn’t like going to gym . After 6 months with Alex I would highly recommend him as a trainer; he's motivating, very knowledgable and knows how to push and motivate you when needed (trust me you can’t negotiate how many reps will you do 😜) , but he is also make sure you are safe and not hurting yourself by overdoing . He has also achieved the impossible - he's made it possible for me to enjoy going to the gym! I have seen a huge improvement in my strength and that transformed into a better results and less injuries in my training and racing . It's also very beneficial being in the privacy of a private gym like Roar and the ability to have space and complete one to one attention , and the support from all the staff and trsininer there , it feels like a small family , and I’m looking forward to every session. Thanks Roar and Thank you Alex .

P. A.

I've been training with Alex for 8 weeks and I'm so happy with my results that I've signed up for another 12! I'm progressing in every session and Alex is already coaching me to lift double the weights I have ever been able to lift training alone. The facilities are great and Abbie and the other trainers are warm and welcoming. I'd recommend Roar to everyone.

N. W.

Victoria has been a fantastic trainer, always pushing me to achieve more than I thought was possible. Each session was so enjoyable and it was great to see myself getting stronger with each one. Couldn't recommend Victoria and the Roar gym strongly enough.

B. V.

I signed up for the 12 week program at Roar to improve my strength. I was lucky to get paired up with Hym. He was great in ensuring good form and technique and pushing me to improve. I achieved what I hoped and signed up for another 8 weeks. Definitely recommend as the place has a great energy.

A.

Working out with Kari at Roar Fitness has been amazing. The entire team is friendly and supportive. Kari constantly challenges me with great results and best of all with lots of laughs. The entire hour flies by and I leave feeling happy and strong. Last but not least, thank you to Matt who has given me a nutrition plan for life!

S. S.

If you're seeking dramatic body transformation, weight-loss all while having a laugh with the Trainers, Consultants and other members then Roar Fitness is for you. I invested in a 12 week training programme training 3-4 times per week and I'm delighted with the results to date. It's true what they say that training can become healthily addictive and my Roar sessions really helped in re-focusing body and mind and never have I had some much energy and drive for work and play. If his schedule allows it, then do ask to gym with Hym! No that's nothing religious but the one and only superhuman PT that is Hymsuen Lui - or Hym to his mates, colleagues and clients. As a competitive body builder himself he looks intimidating and like a real hard task master but he's a real softie underneath that granite exterior and makes the best Vanilla protein Shake going! I can't recommend Roar Fitness highly enough and their ongoing success and growth is testament to their terrific team. You'll laugh, you'll sweat and to start with might even cry - but all the while pushing yourself to your own limits in the safe knowledge you're surrounded by fitness, nutrition and physio experts. Take a look at their instagram page to see the professionals and elite sportswomen and men who also train there. Don't just take my word for it - see the other many reviews online or better still arrange for an initial consultation and see for yourself. I'm needing to take a break this month due to moving home and overseas work commitments (that's my excuse) but the best testimonial I can give is that I'll be looking to return for another 12 week programme next month! I simply just can't get enough of the end of session highs of 'vanilla time' so thanks Roar Fitness and I WILL see you again soon. YNWA.

I'm closing out my last week of the 12 week programme and I am so glad I made the decision to embark on it. 12 weeks ago I had never tried personal training before and having been lucky enough to train with Victoria, I have just decided to continue on with her. She has made weight training - something that I always felt intimidated by - something I look forward to and finally feel confident to try on my own as well. She is always brimming with energy and gives me her undivided attention at every session, adjusting training plans to work around my bad shoulder and ensure I am pushing myself fully without ever risking injury. She is meticulous about correct form and manages to get more out of me than I knew I had to give! I also had nutrition consultations with Matt who is full of knowledge and enthusiasm - you can see he loves what he does and he was always mindful of me having food to eat that I enjoyed within the wider principles of the nutrition programme he designed for me. For the first few weeks I felt like I had more food to each that I could manage which wasn't what I was expecting. I am really happy with the changes in my body and feel so much better for having done it.

I’ve been training at Roar for the past few months and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. You definitely get out what you put in, and assuming you stick to the nutritional plan you will see results. The staff, facilities and atmosphere are completely different to other gyms I’ve used in the City and training there is like a breath of fresh air. The novelty of not having to wait to use a piece of equipment still hasn’t worn off! My trainer is Alex who is a pleasure to train with. He might not be the biggest / strongest guy in the gym but he makes up for this in his enthusiasm in helping me achieve my goals, and also has incredible hair. If you need any additional motivation he has some photos of him posing in a local pond which will focus your mind. Thanks to the Rich, Josh, Alex and the Roar team for helping me enjoy training again, 5 stars from me.

L. C.

My experience at Roar has been fantastic. It’s amazing what you can achieve in 12 weeks with the right professional help. I was trained by Hymsuen Liu who made the process so enjoyable. Hym is really top of his game as a PT, I was so impressed by his knowledge and how tailored the sessions were to me. He quickly understood what I wanted from the plan and how to get the best out of me - far from the fierce shouting PT I had feared. My nutritionist was Josh who was so encouraging and again gave me such tailored advice. So glad I did it, I’ve lost over a stone and managed to get a body I never thought I would be able to and certainly couldn’t by myself - well worth the money.

D.

Just finished a 16 week programme at Roar with Luke Grahame taking care of my training and Josh Faux on the nutrition. I must say the whole experience has exceeded my expectation in every area. I’d put on a lot of weight in a short space of time and training at Roar was exactly what I needed to get back in to shape. Luke was so knowledgeable in the gym and always got me performing to my best, motivating me every step of the way. There’s no way I would have achieved even half as much as I have done without having a PT as good as Luke in my corner and the knowledge I’ve pick up from him will stay with me for a long time in my training to come. The nutrition side of my programme was handled expertly by Josh who tweaked my diet at multiple check ins along the way and always had me performing at my peak. Again, the knowledge I’ve pick up here will stay with me for life. So 16 weeks later, 35lbs lighter and a lot stronger I’m feeling like a new person. Would highly recommend Roar to anyone who is thinking of signing up for a course and am already planning on coming back for a second phase in the not too distant future!

M. P.

I am someone who definitely does not enjoy exercise. I have previously tried personal training with little success. I came to ROAR fitness feeling apprehensive about being in a PT gym environment and I can honestly say that it was nothing like I had expected. All the staff are very supportive, the gym has a friendly, welcoming environment. I train with Matt, he is always very encouraging and knows how to handle my attempts to avoid certain exercises. Matt has a strong passion for his job, particularly with regards to getting the exercise and form correct. Matt is very clear with his explanations of the exercises and the reasoning. But most of all Matt’s positive energy and big smile pushes me to achieve more in each session.

S. W.

Living in Scotland, I have been unable to train in person, so was thrilled to see that Roar Fitness now offer online training. I completed a month with Luke Grahame and it was excellent. Super professional, with a programme bespoke to my training and activity needs, and most importantly, support was available whenever I needed it. Cannot recommend Roar Fitness enough!

S. B.

My experience so far at Roar has been super positive, really friendly vibes from all the staff and I never feel intimidated while working out which can so often be the case so often at other gyms. Big shout out to Kari in particular who is pushing me hard every week to achieve my fitness goals - thanks for your patience! Would definitely recommend roar to others, looking to make a lasting change

S. W.

If you're thinking of signing up with Roar then I can't recommend enough that you do so! It's been the most productive 12 weeks I've had in years - I can now fit into clothes I thought were destined to gather dust in my wardrobe forever and my progress in the gym has outstripped my wildest expectations. And I'm capable of pretty wild expectations every now and again! My trainer Jasper scooped up a very nervous and apprehensive me and with huge patience and unwaveringly positive support has turned me into someone who skips into Roar's gorgeous gym super excited for what every next session will hold. I faithfully promise that this is a decision no one could ever regret and I am so delighted to have found both Roar and their astonishingly supportive and effective trainers.

J. B.

Roar fitness was definitely one of the best decisions I did for my health. I came to Roar with the intentions of learning how to use the gym properly as I always struggled and lacked confidence, and not only have I now come out with a set of confident techniques and skills when on the gym floor, but a passion (love/ hate) for weights. My trainer Alex was so patient and in the long run was capable of guiding and encouraging me to grow confidence when using weights, to the extent that I was actually lifting weights that I would have never dreamed off, and enjoying it! His motivation on the gym floor really helped throughout the entire journey, as I begun to really look forward to those three hours a week at the gym. It was strange as I never would have thought I could enjoy working out this much, but when training with Alex I was able to disconnect myself from my studies and challenge myself mentally and physically. I think by far this was the best present I could have given myself for my last year at uni, as I never felt so strong and focused. I was capable of keeping myself balanced, both in terms of excercise and nutrition, allowing the last few months at uni to progress at a healthy and steady pace.

E. M.

This place is truly trans-formative!! Sarah has built a safe space genuinely for ALL - experience, age, shape, size - to take some time to learn about yourself, and kick start a health journey. My trainer Victoria was so amazing; kind, but pushed me to a strength I didn't know I had, and a work ethic that's been life changing. Big up to Josh for supporting the nutrition journey and dealing with my 'cheat' confessions :) Thank you all!! Life wont be the same - in a GOOD STRONG way!

M. P.

Training with Luke Grahame has been a positive learning experience where he has understood the challenges of being a mum and running a business whilst helping me focus on getting my body back after having a baby and keeping me accountable as well as supporting me every step of the way. The way the coaching is delivered is very clear and understandable and tailored towards my specific goals. Thank you Luke.

M. F. M. S.

I have worked intensively with my trainer Scott Anderson for the last six months and he and Roar have genuinely changed my life in regard to mindset, physique and health. They have taught me how to look after myself and what I am capable of achieving. Without a doubt one of the best things I have ever done. Hanging with Scott 3 times a week has been wicked. Great chat, encouragement and solid advice. A highly recommended experience if u want to transform and make a change. The fact I’m on my third resign is testament to how good this process is for you. Get on it people.

C. B.

I really enjoyed training with Yordan at Roar. I never thought I’d say the words ‘training’ and ‘enjoy’ in the same sentence but that is the Roar effect! The training and nutrition team are all fantastic and supportive. I was totally new to weight training and was so apprehensive but it is such a welcoming environment so it wasn’t intimidating at all. I highly recommend my trainer, Yordan, who really pushed me to do my best and perfect my technique so that I now feel confident about moving forward to achieve my fitness goals.

C. C.

I did the 12 week programme with trainer Laura Ruthnum, and I'm now continuing for another 8 weeks. Thanks to Laura I am a #girlswholift convert. I have lost 10kg and I am still going. I've dropped dress sizes and my shape is entirely different. I am also dangerously close to beating my husband in arm wrestles, so it's a win all around. Laura is an excellent trainer. I have had personal training in the past (more cardio and HIIT based) but I've never worked with someone with such depth of expertise in really shaping my body. I love that she has such high standards for me and the way she approaches her work. She is disciplined, prepared and incredible on technique. Always explaining why I should do something a certain way. I love that I can trust her to tell me exactly what to lift and know that I'll get results. There's no drill sergeant mentality - her approach is firm, but fun. I've never not wanted to go to a session. Although in the middle of legs day I sometimes change this view! The whole atmosphere at Roar is inspiring and positive. It's a nurturing environment, whilst still being incredibly driven. There's a sense of camaraderie and you feel that all the trainers want everyone to do well, even if it's not their client. Lots of positive comments and friendliness. It's also really inspiring to be in a place where people of all shapes and sizes are owning their goals. Very different to other gyms I've been to. Shout out to Josh who is supportive an compassionate on the nutrition side too. I'm on the way to being in the best shape of my life, even whilst still being a breastfeeding mum with little time and even less willpower. Totally recommend Roar as an investment in yourself, your health and your confidence.

S. D.

I saw my client about 2 months ago and could not believe how young she looked. She told me that it was all thanks to Roar Fitness and she persuaded me to join. The best thing I did! I have now been going for about 5 weeks and lost 3KGs already! This is all thanks to James, my PT. Unlike with PTs at other Gyms, James gives 100% concentration to my training. Some small subtle changes that he has made in my training techniques has made a huge difference! I also suffer from a bad back but with the training program that James has designed, my back could not be better! I cannot praise Roar Fitness enough. THANK YOU JAMES

P. S.

So, I have been a regular gym goer (3-4 times p/w) for over 9 years. During that time, I have always had a personal trainer. I made reasonable gains during that period, but the body I really desired never materialised. My personal trainer told me what I wanted wasn’t achievable with my work commitments (an exec level role in a marketing group) and busy London lifestyle. Undeterred, and particularly out of shape after a 6 month break from the gym, after seeing first-hand the results they can achieve, I connected with Roar Fitness and was soon working with Jack Pressling! For my health, wellbeing and confidence, it was the best decision and investment I could have made. I am a very difficult client to train but Jack, step by step, broke down any conceivable barrier I presented and helped me achieve a lifelong goal. He is professional, a great motivator and an all-round fitness expert with integrity. He pushes you to achieve your goals, but in a way that is tailored to your needs. You always feel that Jack is just as invested in you achieving your goals, as you are. I couldn’t see myself working with any other trainer in London now.

H. K.

This is a superbly staffed and equipped gym offering results based training at its best. After a few years of training alone with slow results, I decided to go to Roar Fitness to get some proper training and advise. In just 8 weeks of training with Alex, I have made more results than years alone. The advice and training backed up with body composition assessments every 3 weeks and tailored nutrition and training plans which change throughout the program takes all the guesswork out of training.

A.

Nearly through my programme (having extended once already) and cannot recommend Roar highly enough. Training with Yordan has been both challenging and a lot of fun, and the results have really come through - I have seen a steady change in body shape and general strength, and the one-to-one tailoring of the programme to keep pushing this change (coupled with the nutrition plan) is incredibly effective. I started as a complete novice to any kind of weight training, and not having been in a gym for years - I have found Roar hugely welcoming and friendly so if you have never done anything like it before, don't let that put you off. I have really appreciated Yordan's coaching style, focusing on getting the techniques right (including putting up with all my questions), knowing when and how hard to push, and all the support/encouragement (and occasional singing) along the way!

A. P.

Alex Smith, The Man, The Legend, The Enigma! If you’re lucky enough to have this dude as your PT expect to have a fun but no nonsense approach to training. Alex knows when to be your mate and when to be your coach, which is one of the finer qualities of a trainer that is held only by a few. Work hard and reap the rewards. I was given a very short time frame to drop as much body fat as I could without loosing muscle mass. With the expert dietary advice from Luke Grahame and training of Alex, I managed to drop BF% by 2/3 and my weight by 11kg in just 16 sessions and little over 7 weeks. ROAR fitness can not be compared to anything, I’m extremely grateful for all that I was thought. If you’re considering going, take the leap and do so, will it be easy? Hell No. Will it be worth if? Hell Yes.

E. T.

I started at Roar beginning of December and although I had to go through the very challenging Christmas period, I conquered and beginning of January I was 5 kg down! All of this would NEVER had happened if I wasn’t lucky enough to have Jack Pressling as a trainer! God! He really makes my day every time I hit the gym floor! Precise, knowledgeable, meticulous at his job and at the same time friendly, cheerful and fun to be around. Matt has also helped tremendously with nutrition and advice. I’m currently around the middle of my 12 week journey and I couldn’t be happier! My transformation is not only physical but a mental one too! Many thanks Matt! You truly rock! Huge thanks Jack! You are a true legend, honestly!

G. W.

I have nothing but positives to say about Roar Fitness. I have previously trained with Rich, Dave and most recently Josh and they all push you to your limits to achieve the best possible results - for you. Owners Rich and Sarah have built an amazing team who all make you feel at home from day one. Their professionalism and enthusiasm in what they do make them stand out as the best in the business. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

J. D.

If you want results then Roar is the place! I've been training with Mel for the last 4 months and even though I haven't been as strict as I could be with my eating (holidays and life!) I'm still seeing results I didn't expect. I work hard at every session and every session is progressive. I've seen petite women moving weights that The Rock would be proud of and all without the bulky muscles women get put off by. The team here are some of the friendliest people I have met in a gym and without a doubt have fun in their job and with their clients. There is a genuineness about the team here and the plans give great results. Highly recommend them 😁😁😁😁🏋🏿

E. D.

ROAR has been the one of the most amazing things I've ever done! I've longed to get into shape for years, but all prior attempts had failed...until ROAR. The environment is super supportive, everyone's got your back and I've never felt so at ease in a gym. I've now gotten totally hooked on weight training: the endorphin rush, the energy I have coming out of the gym, the increases you see with the weight - it's truly amazing. Sarah sets you up with all the nutritional info and tips you need to really stick to the nutrition plan, and the regular weigh-ins keep you motivated because of how insanely quickly you get results! My PT James was the BEST - I'd done a little bit of weight training in the past but was never really sure how to lift correctly and he taught me proper form and helped me push myself to the max, every single session. I still can't believe how much my body has changed in such little time: I fit into clothes I haven't fit into for years and I feel so strong and lean - honestly it's the best! I could not recommend this programme more - it's such a worthwhile investment: I now feel I have the tools, knowledge and motivation to keep training alone. So if you're thinking about it, take the plunge and sign up!

C. C.

I wanted to train at Roar due to Sarah's reputation and my goal was to get strong and healthy for pre-marathon training. My biggest learning curve during the 12 weeks was that I finally shared publicly how unhealthy my relationship was with food, this came from the listening support, compassion and expert knowledge from Josh who managed my nutrition. Together over the 3 months we cracked some serious unhealthy coping strategies towards how I fuelled my body and my distorted perceptions of my image. I can never thank him enough for this, it's changed my life. Jack was my trainer, he constantly pushed me to achieve, often outside of my comfort zone - how I love to work! Every session he was super positive, gave 100% and massively developed my confidence. Not only have I finished looking the best shape of my life but I've never felt happier and feel like I'm bloody glowing!! It's such a great and inclusive environment, no matter what stage you are in your health & fitness journey. I'm going to be back.

J. O.

I have had a transformative experience at Roar. I went in with chronic shoulder & lower disc pain and much heavier than I am now. Thanks to my incredibly dedicated, hard working and considerate trainer Tom alongside nutritional guidance from the glowing and kind Josh, I am now leaving not only with a completely different body, but also a changed outlook on my overall health. It's costs an tonne, but worth it if can afford it.

S. M.

I had the best experience at Roar Fitness. Also I had the best female Personal Trainer- Kari Oyenuga. She helped me to transform my body after giving birth one year ago. I became thin and fit, gained muscles and lost 7kg in 12 weeks. She is such an amazing person as well. She pushes you to your limits and helps you to reach your goals. Also I had the best nutrionist, Josh, could not have make it without him!!! Thanks for such an amazing experience and for helping me to get rid of the pregnancy weight Roar team. Best gym in London ❤️ Sanam x

c. a.

Such an incredible experience, I did 8 weeks training 3 x per week with Anca, she was incredible and not letting me quit and knowing what was right for my body. I left the programme almost two months ago and I'm still managing to keep the progress going. The nutrition by Matt was also incredible and very easy to do and maintain. Would and have recommend to anyone and everyone, it's a lifestyle choice that anyone can make.

S. T.

Roar Fitness are a totally exceptional team. The gym and facilities are brilliant, there's a great atmosphere, and it never feels overcrowded. Despite the fact that the Roar team are generally super-humans, it’s not at all an intimidating environment, they cater for all levels of fitness, and the entire team are laser focussed on getting incredible results. I wanted a personal training programme that would be holistic – a combo of training, physio and nutrition. Sarah has crafted an easy to follow nutritional programme, and our regular check-ins are hugely motivating and informative. My trainer, Matt, is the best PT I have ever worked with. Coming back from a long period of injury left me totally out of condition and pretty scared to push myself. Matt's been hugely patient, crafted a programme which limits the risks to my back, he’s massively motivating, great fun, and strikes absolutely the right balance between careful progress and pushing me to achieve massive results. Matt, Sarah and the team at Roar Fitness are helping make me into a brand new human, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

R. B.

James Castle-Mason...what can I say about this trainer, he’s beasted me over the past 12 weeks. Constantly pushing me, making me do more than I ever thought was possible, understanding my needs and goals, really tailoring the training around me and most importantly set me on the path to making a life long change. Roar is the place you go if you’re serious about changing your body, it’s the friendliest place with amazing support both nutritionally and exercise wise, I’m kind of sad it’s ending.

R. E.

I had trained for many years prior to joining ROAR. My goal was to reach my fighting weight and increase my strength. From the first consultation to decipher your training needs right through to the nutrition plan then the actual training, Wow. I was mighty impressed, they know their stuff and being following their plan, working hard and eating sensibly results will be achieved. I had the pleasure of training with Pierce, don't let his slight frame fool you, he is an absolute BEAST and a fine chap and trains you to extract that extra ounce out of you. At the end of each session, you know you have worked hard.I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions and have learnt to train and more important eat in the correct manner. Without a doubt they have the best training set up, facilities, and team in London. If its results you desire, one would be foolish to go anywhere else.

R. P.

I was recommended to Roar Fitness by a friend and initially signing up I was nervous as I had never weight trained before but no nerves were necessary, the whole team at Roar are so friendly and encouraging. I am lucky enough to have Pierce as my trainer who is brilliant, so knowledgeable, professional, personable and always positive. Cannot recommend Roar Fitness enough.

D. O.

I have been going to the gym on and off for 20 years and I thought I pretty much knew what I was doing. I trained with Hym for 12 weeks and he showed me just how wrong I was! His training was not just about pushing your body to its limits - although it definitely did that - but doing it on the basis of a solid foundation and in a way that focused on safe and effective technique as much as pushing up the weights. In relation to the nutritional aspects of the programme, i found this hard to begin with but Josh and Hym both gave me a lot of support and after a couple of weeks it was manageable. All in all I really enjoyed the programme and have never been stronger or fitter. Hym is a great trainer (notwithstanding his love of Oreo cookies) and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

N. G.

Training with Roar has been a great experience. I am just over halfway through and am really enjoying the sessions. Alex is a fantastic trainer and has a great sense of what I’m capable of and how to push me. I’d definitely recommend Roar to anyone thinking about getting in shape. The holistic approach to diet and exercise has made a huge difference and I’ve learned so much already. Thanks Roar!

C. N.

The team at Roar is nothing short of amazing. I signed up for an initial 8 weeks but I was so hooked I extended to 12. The facilities are amazing, and there is such a positive and encouraging environment that I wish I could carry on indefinitely! Not going to lie - it was not easy, the diet required commitment (I wish I had done better on that front...) and my trainer, Matt, pushed me hard. But I felt completely at ease in an environment where women are often too scared to venture. I am stronger than ever before and finally have some definition. Matt is absolutely great: extremely competent, supportive and incredibly friendly. And Sarah is an absolute goddess and inspiration. Highly recommended!

G. S.

Roar Fitness is THE place to go for results. The before and after photos do not lie! I was given Lainey as a PT who was just brilliant. She knew exactly how to motivate me throughout my sessions and training with her was something I looked forward to every week. For body transformations the diet is key and Sarah Lindsay is a brilliant nutritionist/dietitian. She set my diet, tweaking it at regular intervals to adapt to my likes, dislikes and habits. The diet was the most challenging part of my 12 week program and required a lifestyle change but the support and menu suggestions made it manageable. Roar has TOTALLY changed my outlook and approach to my exercise and diet going forward!!! I now regularly weight train and have the knowledge of what is best to eat in order to fuel my body and be healthy!!!

P. B.

I followed Roar for a long time before I decided to join. I’ve struggled with my weight, fitness and confidence for most of my adult life and had never got to that coveted ‘after’ photo - more like a ‘before’ and ‘progress’ and then things would stall or I’d give up. The results I’d seen online spoke for themselves and by this point felt like I’d tried everything else so what did I have to lose - hands down the best decision I’ve ever made. When you’re looking for a PT, you want them to be buff right, so you can tell they know what they’re doing? Well my trainer Alex has that in spades (have you seen his Instagram? Holy biceps Batman!) But, what you can’t see from a photo is the type of person they are and thats what’s made this whole experience a game changer. My first session was hard, I felt unfit, like I had no idea what I was doing and there were mirrors everywhere that I couldn’t look at myself in, but it didn’t take long for me to relax and this is entirely down to Alex. I could tell right away that we would get on, but also that he was specifically training me - I wasn’t just another face in a line of clients with the same rinse and repeat routine. His never ending patience, encouragement, humour, kindness, his belief in me and general loveliness not only got me through each session with a bit more confidence than the one before, but had me looking forward to the next one. At the end of my first 12 weeks, I feel like a new person! Mirrors are no longer my enemy, I’m happier, leaner, I’m training with weights I never thought possible and I know now that I can do more and it’s Alex that has given me that confidence in myself. It takes knowledge and dedication to be a good PT, but it’s being invested in your clients success like Alex is that makes him a great one. I absolutely cannot recommend Roar Fitness enough. The whole staff are fantastic, there’s a great atmosphere in the gym, a real family vibe with the staff and clients alike and I genuinely look forward to being there. If you’re thinking about joining, do it, I promise you won’t regret it!

S. V.

Roar Fitness - what a place - can't recommend it highly enough! Professional, friendly and results driven - stick to the diet and training plan and you'll see a huge difference in a matter of weeks. My re-tailoring bills are a testimony to the last few months and my trainer Luke (who is brilliant!) pushing me to the limits. So good I've signed up for more!

e. h.

Just finished my 12 week training session with Kari! She is a superstar and has transformed my strength and self confidence. She pays such attention to technique, posture etc and pushes you to your maximum every session. Kari is full of energy, always ready to bust out some dance-moves and provides so much encouragement. Time has flown by but I feel like a new me- healthier, stronger and definitely continuing this fitness journey. I have learnt so much in the short space of time its felt a bit overwhelming but huge thank you to Kari for all her support and to Josh for monitoring my diet plan and always being there to answer questions.

S. A.

Awesome online personal training experience. If you want to transform your body and are prepared to work hard, you cannot fail on this plan. From day 1 you are allocated your own PT who not only drafts you a bespoke workout and eating plan but is always on hand to answer questions or give guidance which is invaluable. The weekly check ins help to keep you motivated and accountable and the structure of the workout plan makes it easy to see just how much you are progressing as you start to use heavier and heavier weights. The change I’ve seen during Phase 1 (4 weeks) is unbelievable and thats not only my very obvious weight loss but the whole way my body has changed shape. I’m fitter, leaner, more defined and have tons more energy plus I’ve learnt some valuable lessons on food and nutrition. Huge thanks to my PT Luke G for his brilliant guidance and motivation. I hope I can continue to smash it!

J. D.

A fantastic experience! I came to Roar after suffering a variety of injuries and with little confidence in whether I could return to activity properly again. After a few months with Rich and Dave, I've never felt better! The guys were absolutely amazing at running through rehab exercises with me to start with, and then gradually progressing me onto different exercises and more weight. If you are returning from injury, or just want to get your fitness back, this is definitely the place to go. They are also really good at working around your professional life, so you can train from Monday to Saturday if you want, and they have all the supplements you need to help you recover. I honestly couldnt recommend Roar Fitness highly enough.

t. d.

A gym that I really would recommend to everyone. Every single trainer is friendly, knowledgable and extremely helpful. It has made my journey so enjoyable, so much so that I have extended my programme. Josh handles my nutrition perfectly. He schedules the regular check ins, is always available for further advice and does really listen to me. He is approachable as well as encouraging and this has helped me transform the way I eat on a day to day basis (and of course lose a lot of excess body fat). Yordan has been a fantastic trainer from the get go. He is clearly determined in making sure his clients reach their goals and is meticulous with his training method. He pays close attention to my form on every single rep of every single set . More importantly, he really has taught me how to weight lift properly; how to engage the muscles being used, the correct tempo needed for each exercise and also when it’s time to step up (or down!) the weight. I look forward to every session I have with him and I never contemplate skipping a session (as I would have done for any other gym!)

S. S.

Roar fitness has been a real game changer for me. Always fit and active, I've only just realised the potential of a PT. I had no idea what I was doing in a gym before, but now, through James's carefully chartered workouts and dynamic modifications, I've seen excellent results and had a tremendous education in body mechanics and best practise. The gym itself is a great place to be with a real feeling of friendliness.

P. G.

Awesome gym! Rich and Sarah just know SO much about nutrition and training. Starting to train here was one of the best decisions I ever made. Diet is regularly monitored and amended each month as is my training programme. Fully bespoke service that is tweaked every step of the way. I train with Luke 3 times a week and I cant recommend him enough. Great guy.

H. B.

I've done 12 weeks with Jack and just signed up for another 8. I've never done weights before - thought it'd be dull and I'd hate it. But Jack is a total star of a PT (especially for putting up with my nonsense!) . I have so much fun every session - we always have a laugh but he gets the balance right between keeping it light and interesting and pushing me all the time to work harder and get better results. I totally trust him as he knows exactly what he's talking about and makes it clear what to do and why to do it . His positive attitude and his commitment is so encouraging and I feel so much better because of it - together with Matt's help and support with the food I look and feel so much better generally. Mentally and physically I'm doing so much better than 12 weeks ago! It's a really relaxed nice atmosphere and I always secretly look forward to my sessions.... xxx

B. L.

Cannot recommend Roar more! My trainer Nicolle has been an incredible support driving me forward to achieve goals over the last few months.

R. S.

Go there! These guys are really onto something - a really friendly and encouraging team of knowledgeable fitness professionals. If you want results (no matter what your goals are) they will help you with it - in a safe and healthy. They consider each client’s individual needs and personalise your training accordingly - this really comes through in the regular check-ins and nutrition plans - it is never a one-size fits all approach. Special shout out to Matt Lindsay and Josh Faux (both trainers and nutritionists), though it should be said that the whole team is fantastic.

J. W.

I’ve been training with Roar Fitness online as I live abroad in the DR Congo for the past 12 weeks. Today was my last session and I have to say this has been an amazing experience, I’ve reduced my weight from 93.2kgs to 79.5kgs but more importantly built fantastic muscle structure which I never believed would be possible. Luke Grahame my online trainer has been amazing, following up on all my daft questions throughout the process along with tweaking my diet/training program when needed to get me to my goal (which was actually more like 86kgs at the start!!! Smashed that goal!!!). I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who isn’t able to either afford the personal training at their gym or like myself aboard and needed help. Not forgetting also the nutritionists who tailored my program for me to lose my weight correctly. Many thanks to the team and especially Luke Grahame.

I was a pessimistic before joining Roar but within 2-3 visits I was sure I made the right choice. The gym itself is really well equipped and my trainer Yordan is first class. After 12 weeks, Yordan was able to whip me into shape, I lost over a stone and a half and feel and look 100% better for it. Would definitely recommend Roar and especially Yordan.

I have been training off and on with different trainers / gym's and programmes for the last 10 years and it wasn't until I did my programme with Roar that I finally realised what works for me. The training programme I went through with Yordan was targeted and consistent but also really fun and enjoyable and I look forward to going to the gym for each session. Yordan is super professional and an amazingly committed trainer both personally and for his clients and I would recommend you ask for him should you sign up. The combination of the brilliant training 3-times-weekly sessions with Yordan (Stoyanov) and the ongoing support and advice on nutrition from Sarah (Lindsay) helped me stick to my goal and achieve amazing results. All while having a great time. The nutrition I soon found out is just as important from my sessions with Sarah and the missing link to all of my previous training programmes. I finally found a programme that I could stick to and once I started to see the results it motivated me to continue. Educating me in why I was eating what I was and how that would effect my body was the key. The gym is super friendly and inviting and none of that pretentious intimidation that I sometimes feel in those environments. All of the trainers are welcoming and its a nice place to train. To top it all off they had some straighteners fitted in the mens changing rooms for me to further enhance the personalised level of service! I've signed back up fro another programme and don't see myself leaving any time soon.

I finished my 12 week training programme just over a month ago and I cannot thank my PT Nicolle enough, for all the help she has given me. I was very nervous before my first PT session, having never really done much in the way of strength training in the past. Nicolle immediately managed to put me at ease, she was patient with me and managed to make me forget my nerves! Very quickly, I started to look forward to our sessions and this was all because of Nicolle's kind, inspiring and encouraging manner. Don't get me wrong - she could crack the whip when she needed to, but mostly we were laughing our way through the sessions, so much so, that an hour would fly by! Her knowledge and the way she explained things to me, has given me skills and more importantly, confidence, so I can continue to progress based on her advice. All I had hoped for when starting Roar, was to lose some weight and build some muscles. But as much as I love my biceps, I am happy to say that I gained a friend too! Due to work commitments, I have had to have a break from Roar, but I cannot wait to work with Nicolle again in the future. Thank you so much for your hard work and enthusiasm!

I’ve been training at Roar for 10 weeks now and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. I’ve gained muscle, lost fat, feel stronger, fitter and healthier and far happier than I’ve been in a long time. I’ve been lucky enough to train with Laura Ruthnum, who has motivated and inspired me in every session and pushed me to achieve more than I ever thought I could - and I’m not even finished yet. Her knowledge, work ethic, hugely positive attitude and determination for me to succeed has made training hard genuinely the highlight of my day. She’s an absolute rockstar and keeps me smiling in every session! Josh has been looking after my nutrition and he is a gem - keeping me on track, tweaking my diet and full of advice and positivity when I’ve found it tough. As with everything, you have to put the work in to get the results and Roar is the best in the business to get you there. It’s not cheap, but the investment is worth it. I’m trying to figure out what I can sell to keep training with Laura at Roar!

Working with James Castle-Mason at Roar has been a privilege. He is very knowledgeable in regards to the work out routine he designed for me and has pushed me every session to work harder than I thought I could. I've seen great results so far and am on track to lose the weight I want. Roar fitness have been top class all round.

5 weeks into my training and I don't want it to end! With Matt focusing my nutrition and Kari pushing me to the next level of strength and fitness!! I feel stronger, more confident and empowered! Could not wish for a better trainer or environment!! Kari motivates and drives you - with her incredible knowledge on technique and inspirational attitude you will want to keep going back!!

So I’m on my 3rd programme with ROAR being trained by the excellent Yordan (Stoyanov). As you can sense from this I am now pretty much hooked on weights training, having never done it before I started at ROAR. My goal at the outset was to get stronger (from a pretty low starting point!), more toned and to lose a bit of excess body fat, all of which I achieved in the first 12 week programme – effectively changing my body shape, which felt so good to finally achieve. I've had fantastic support as well from Matt (Lindsay) with my nutrition plan programme - so pleasing to see the skin fold measurements reduce!! Yordan is a highly effective and exceptional personal trainer, always motivating and supporting, making sure you are working with the weights using the correct body positioning and fine tuning the programme so that it is suited to me - it’s hard work but it’s been worth it. Yordan is very patient (and has had to be with me!!) and he makes the sessions enjoyable and fun, even when he increases the weights on the leg press and you are convinced you won’t be able to lift it and he tells you that you can definitely do it! I’m usually laughing through the pain! I’m thrilled that I am getting stronger with each gym session and definitely plan to keep going with the training.

I went into Roar Fitness not knowing what to expect, but the immediate professionalism filled me with confidence. Rich devised a week by week plan and explained exactly why we were doing what we were doing. As a result, I watched my body change week by week. We put in some hard sessions, but it was never about sweating until I was on the verge of collapse, more a steady progression through weights and interesting exercises. As a result, I watched myself get stronger – and leaner – and enjoyed every minute of it. The professionalism of every member of staff is what really made Roar Fitness stand out for me. Unlike other gyms, I couldn't wait to go back for another session, and together we made the most of every second, leading to amazing results.

All the reviews are right - very effective and enjoyable way to get to your fitness and weight goals. My trainer Hym was excellent - indepth knowledge, high energy and extremely motivating. With this and Matt's guidance on nutrition i more than exceeded my expectations.

I rave about my experience of training at Roar with Nicolle to anyone who will listen - it’s been life changing. I signed up a few months before my wedding, feeling frustrated and unmotivated with my exercise routine after years of going to HIIT style gym classes many times a week and barely see any results. I’d also suffered with sciatica in the past and was nervous about doing weight training on my own and ending up the an injury due to poor form. After just three months of training 3 times a week with Nicolle I’d smashed my aesthetic goals and felt so confident in my wedding dress on the big day - and got loads of compliments too! I’ve also learnt so much from Nicolle - with every rep she gives me tips on how to improve my technique. Matt helped me with nutrition and that’s been another game changer - I have so much more energy, consistently throughout the day, and my IBS symptoms have pretty much disappeared! Roar has become a way of life for me - I’ve finished the initial three month programme I signed up for but I don’t want to leave so I now train with Nicolle once a week and have the knowledge and confidence to train on my own another couple of times a week. I can’t thank Nicolle, Matt & Roar enough!

Signing up with Roar was totally worth the investment - financially and time-wise. I achieved more in my initial 12 weeks than I have in years. Whilst I wasn't unfit when I commenced the process, I was spiralling backwards pretty fast. I signed up because I needed the complete package - an excellent PT, nutritional guidance and accountability. I loved the process and didn't find it difficult. I genuinely looked forward to, and enjoyed, every session with my PT Alex Smith (aka The Hair). I've had negative experiences with PTs in the past, so I was apprehensive to begin with - PTs whose sessions I dreaded, those who would be distracted by their mobile phone, those who were overly critical/negative, or those whose sessions I left thinking "I could have done that alone." This was never the case with Alex. He pushed me harder than I could have pushed myself, and never let me give up on the last couple of reps, even when I thought I had nothing left in the tank. I always felt at ease around him, and he has always been encouraging and entertaining. I recommend him highly. And yes, I put my money where my mouth is...and I signed up for an additional 8 weeks. I was also extremely fortunate to have Josh Faux on the nutrition side. He is integrative/holistic in his approach and very open minded. He is also a very genuine and empathetic guy. The atmosphere at Roar is great and the whole team is simply delightful. If you're hesitating about joining - don't...just do it!

I just finished the most awesome 12-week programme with James. Having spent years going to the gym on and off but never really making progress, I'm amazed at the progress I've made over this time. I feel stronger and fitter than I've ever done and learnt a huge amount from James and Josh on the nutrition side, that has set me up to build from here. James has been a great trainer, pushing me hard but with a good sense of humour along the way, so I've had great fun and was gutted that it came to an end. Couldn't recommend James and the team more and really got the transformation I was after and in a manner that I really feel I can keep going.

I started the 12 weeks program in October, and I signed up for another 12 weeks. For the first time in my life I’m enjoying going to the gym, all thanks to my favorite PT in the world, TOM. Also, a big shout out to MATT for keeping track of my nutrition! The two of them together are a force of nature! I’m recommending Roar to everyone!

S. O. R.

Alex is an excellent trainer who's pushed me further than I would have thought possible, while still making making it enjoyable enough I have the hunger to work more. He's gotten me real gains in a short time; patient with my weaker elements, without ever giving me an inch to slip or fall behind. A delight to work with, I'd recommend him to anyone.

u. k.

The team at ROAR are as supportive as it gets, in the world of fitness- they ACTUALLY do care. I trained with Matt, who was brilliant. His attention to detail, coupled with his slightly nerdy banter, meant that I enjoyed each session and I am now stronger, leaner and much more confidant. Also, I no longer have the back pain that's been plaguing me for decades. Thank-you. Thank-you. Thank-you.
