Personal Training to an Olympic Standard
Sarah Lindsay trained for three Olympic Games with a team of specialists planning every session. Rich Phillipps spent the same years building the transformation process ROAR still runs on. Together they wrote the method that our world class personal trainers work to every day.
The same assessment, the same progression, the same attention to detail, regardless of your starting point. Programming is built around the individual, the coaching is one to one, and the method behind it never changes. From first-time clients to professional athletes, the standard never drops.
Client Stories
Real Results From Our London Clients
Ana and Rares trained with Roar Fitness in London and saw what one to one coaching changes: nutrition guidance that fitted around busy weeks, technique taught properly from the first session, and a routine they could keep up.
In their own words, they talk through the progress they made and the habits that have stayed with them since.
Client TransformationsThe Process
The Science Behind the ROAR Method
The ROAR Method brings training, nutrition, recovery and body composition into one programme, built by your coach and refined at every stage. It is the approach we have used since 2016, and the reason our results hold long after the programme ends.
Initial Assessment and Performance profile
The programme starts with a full assessment. Your coach begins by discussing your goals, then records body composition with a seca scan and carries out a movement screen, alongside a review of training history, sleep, stress and current diet. Together they form your performance profile, the baseline every decision in your programme is made from.
Targeted Nutrition And Meal Planning
Nutrition sits at the centre of the ROAR Method, and it is why our clients see results in twelve weeks that most people spend a year chasing. Your coach builds a meal plan from your assessment, calculated for you and made up of food you already like to eat. It is reviewed week by week and adjusted as your body composition changes, so it keeps working through travel, late meetings and dinners out.
Designing your blueprint
Your coach turns the assessment into a training plan built for your body, with exercises chosen from your movement screen and strength training at its core, because that is what changes body composition. Sessions run two to three times a week, scheduled around your working week, with each phase planned to build on the last.
Training and Progression
Every session is coached one to one. Your coach is on the floor with you for every rep, correcting technique, setting the weight and pushing you further than you would go alone. Every set is logged, so each session starts where the last one finished and the load moves up as soon as you are ready for it.
Monitor, review and adapt
Progress is measured, and the plan changes with it. Your coach tracks strength in every session and repeats the seca scan through the programme, so training and nutrition are adjusted the moment body composition shifts or a lift stalls. If recovery drops, the load comes down; if a phase is working, it is pushed further. Nothing in the plan stays fixed for twelve weeks. Each phase builds on the last.
We build a body that lasts
The end goal is lean muscle, movement quality, metabolic health and cardiovascular fitness that can be maintained for years to come. How you age is shaped by how you train now, and every phase of the programme is designed with that in mind, so the results keep compounding long after the first transformation photos.
The Nutrition System Behind the Results
Nutrition is central to how the ROAR Method works. Your plan is set by what the assessment shows, built on familiar foods, and refined each week as your body composition changes.
