One to One Personal Training in the City of London

Your Own Coach, Every Session

You train with the same personal trainer from your first session to your last. They learn how you move, how your week runs and when to push, so no session is spent starting over with someone new.

Built Around a City Diary

Sessions start at 6am on weekdays, with lunchtime and after-work slots for anyone working in the Square Mile. When travel or a late meeting gets in the way, your coach moves the plan with it.

Coaches Trained in the ROAR Method

Every trainer at Roar City of London is selected and trained by three-time Olympian Sarah Lindsay and body transformation specialist Rich Phillipps, and coaches the method they have refined at this gym since 2016.

Nutrition in the Same Plan

Your nutrition coach works from the same assessment as your trainer. Meals are planned around early starts, desk lunches and client dinners, not an ideal week that never happens.

Strength for Long Days at a Desk

Long hours at a desk show up in the back, neck and hips. Your programme builds strength and mobility together, so you get fitter and move more freely at the same time.

Results You Can Measure

Regular seca body composition scans and logged sessions show exactly what has changed, from body fat to the weight on the bar.

Inside Our City of London Gym

Roar Fitness City of London is a private gym on Eastcheap, EC3, kept for one to one personal training. Every client on the floor is training with a coach, so the equipment your session needs is free when you need it. It is one of two Roar gyms offering personal training in London, alongside our Kensington gym.

The floor has plate-loaded resistance machines, power racks, free weights from light dumbbells to heavy barbells, and an indoor sprint track for sled work. Between sessions, the reception lounge is the place to sit down, and its walls are lined with transformations from clients who trained here.

“The UK’s leading expert in
body transformations”

Olympic-Standard Coaching in the City of London

Sarah Lindsay competed at three Olympic Games, with every session she trained planned around a single result. Rich Phillipps spent those years building the body transformation process Roar is known for today. Together they wrote the ROAR Method, and every personal trainer at our City of London gym is selected and trained in it by them.

Your coach reads your assessment the way an Olympic coach reads an athlete: how you move, where you are strong and what is holding you back. Sessions are planned before you arrive, every rep is watched, and the load changes when your body is ready for it. Complete beginners and experienced lifters get the same level of attention.

Personal Training Programmes at Roar City of London

Most clients arrive with one clear aim. Tell your coach what yours is at the first assessment, and your training, nutrition and check-ins are all set up to reach it.

Before & After

Real Results, Coached One to One

Every one of these clients started with an assessment, a written plan and a personal trainer beside them for each session. Their starting points were different. The method was the same.

Expert Nutrition Coaching in Every Programme

What you eat decides how much of your training shows. That is why every programme at Roar City of London pairs your personal trainer with a dedicated nutrition coach, working from the same assessment and towards the same goal.

Your nutrition coach sets your calories and macros from your body composition scan, builds meals around food you enjoy and reviews the plan against every seca scan. Our nutrition team has guided thousands of transformations, so they can tell quickly what is working for your body and what needs to change.

Client Stories

Why Craig Chose Roar City of London

Craig raced triathlon for years and it left its mark: sore legs, a bad neck and poor posture. He had never done proper strength training before he walked into our City of London gym.

What won him over was his coach, Luke, taking the time to hear about every injury before deciding how to train around them. Craig now says he has never felt physically stronger, and he even finds himself craving vegetables.

I've been training with Kareem at Roar and I am really happy with my progress. Kareem is an amazing PT - professional, knowledgable, and amicable and knows how to push you. Highly recommend training with him.
Yousif Abdulla
Signed up to RoaR back in July and I’d highly recommend it. From the welcoming initial consultation onwards, an individualised training and diet plan is set for you, which essentially guarantees results if you follow it. The sessions with Alfie have been awesome and I’ve built strength / muscle rapidly, James is a walking encyclopaedia on nutrition who knows his stuff. Both trainers have taught me lots of useful things around training and nutrition that I’ll take in to practice beyond my time at RoaR.
Rachel Lee
I have been training for 12 weeks with Todd who has been excellent at guiding me through exercises and has pushed and motivated me to achieve more than I thought possible. Todd is also very knowledgable about nutrition and has given me many tips to help with my diet. I would thoroughly recommend training with Todd!
DW
The gym is well kitted and quiet which is great given I’m antisocial. My trainer Todd is actually pretty good (won’t tell him that) and somehow gets me to keep coming back. I’m not going to say he makes it enjoyable but given that I’ve now been going consistently since February it can’t be that bad. The stars are mainly for Todd.
Blues
I have been training for 3 years at Roar. Todd is an excellent trainer! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and always comes prepared with a clear plan for each session. He knows how to challenge and motivate you while keeping workouts positive and enjoyable. I really appreciate his attention to detail, encouragement and we still have good fun together (except leg day ;))
James Bicknell
I’ve only had one session with Todd so far, but I was genuinely impressed. He listened carefully, understood exactly what I wanted from the session and tailored everything accordingly. Most importantly, he knew when to push and when not to. I never felt pressured beyond what was sensible or comfortable. He comes across as knowledgeable, considered and very professional. A great first session, and I’m looking forward to continuing to train with him. Highly recommend Todd at Roar.
Fares Boulos
I’ve had a fantastic experience at Roar. Todd Gouldborne is an exceptional trainer — highly professional, knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in helping you get the best out of every session. I’m very happy with the progress we’ve made and always look forward to training with him. Roar itself is on another level. The quality of the coaching, facilities, and overall experience is outstanding, and I’m very happy to be a member. Highly recommended — and a special shoutout to Todd for doing such a great job!
Luanna Bicknell
I would highly recommend Todd at Roar. His breadth of knowledge and ability to keep me working hard while navigating my perimenopausal aches and pains have been fantastic! He listens, adapts and keeps our sessions enjoyable. I also really appreciate his holistic approach to my fitness—encouraging me to eat well but also to enjoy the off-plan days! A great trainer and a lovely person. Thank you, Todd!
Adnan Chinoy
I’ve been training at Roar was just the studio I was looking for, great sunlight…. for the past 3–4 months I’ve been training with Sam and couldn’t recommend him enough. Top lad, genuinely invested in his clients and always puts the effort in. What I really appreciate is how involved he gets in your journey, he pays attention to your progress, pushes you when you need it, and works around your schedule and individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Overall the gym has, great energy and just an all-round place to pickup on your fitness journey. Highly recommend.
emma oldham
I’ve been going to Roar for over 18months now -which as an historical gym phob -is a huge success- no less down to Dov, my dedicated personal trainer -who has successfully broken down my mental block associated with gym workouts- Roar have been brilliant in assessing which of their trainers would be a positive match -I highly recommend going and having an intro chat -the set up and staff are great
