Roar Fitness London Kensington: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I trained with Stas for months at ROAR and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better personal trainer. Thanks to his incredibly deep knowledge, patience, and encouragement, I’ve seen fantastic results - beyond what I thought I could achieve. Stas takes the time to tailor every session to my goals and abilities, always making sure I’m pushing myself safely and effectively. His attention to proper form and technique is exceptional, and he’s great at explaining exactly why we’re doing what we’re doing, which has really helped me stay motivated and committed. Beyond that, he’s simply a pleasure to train with - professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. His sessions are tough but you somehow have fun once you get used to it! I highly recommend Stas to anyone looking for real, lasting results and a trainer who truly cares about your progress. He has given me all the tools I need to sustainably retain and continue the transformation I have seen at ROAR. Five stars, no question!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Mansi! Your commitment to Roar over the months and the relationship you have built with Stas has been an absolute pleasure to witness. The progress you have made is incredible and as part of the programme, we want to give you the tools and guidance you need so you can practice what you have learnt with us in the future. We want you to enjoy your training but feel educated, safe and supported, so this is amazing to hear! Thank you for choosing Roar and we hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Working with James has been truly transformative. He’s not just a personal trainer - he’s a powerhouse of knowledge when it comes to nutrition, fitness, and sustainable results. Every session is tailored, focused, and so encouraging! James doesn’t just give instructions - he teaches you why certain movements or meals matter, which has made me feel genuinely empowered in my health journey. His approach is science-backed, realistic, and incrediblyyy motivating. I’ve seen noticeable changes in my body, health, energy, and mindset - and that’s down to his consistent guidance and care. If you’re looking for someone who will PUSH you, support you, and make the process equally as enjoyable, James is the one. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
Amazing work Feyi! Thank you for such a wonderful review and it is amazing to hear how your Roar programme has affected not only your physicality but also your mentality and overall health. The support you have received from James and the trust you have in him is amazing and thank you for choosing your Roar for your fitness journey. We can't wait to see what more you can achieve!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a real mindset shift, someone who will guide you beyond your limits—even through injuries—and support your transformation towards the best version of yourself, Jack is the coach you need! His approach is not only tailored and robust, but also deeply inspiring. He is a walking example of discipline, consistency, and the power of routine. Jack truly practices what he preaches, and that authenticity is rare. He knows how to challenge you while keeping things light, positive, and enjoyable . I cannot recommend Jack highly enough—not just for his sports and nutrition knowledge, but for the unwavering dedication, energy, and personal investment he brings to your transformative journey!
This is so amazing to hear Wafa! You have made so much progress on your Roar programme and seeing you love for training grow as been amazing to watch, especially with the support you have received from Jack. There is so much more to our programmes than just teaching you how to train, the holistic approach we take is to transform every aspect of your life and you have absolutely smashed it. You are a pleasure to train Wafa and keep up your amazing hard work!
Fantastic experience: I have been working on my transformation since January. It is now July. I am almost there. Junior has been amazing at making me stronger and I'm feeling better than ever. Of course it also helps that I am looking much leaner too! With the constant support of James my nutritionist, I have learnt how to make good decisions regarding my diet Not just for well-being and to work towards my 6 Pack but also for longevity and health. This has been a phenomenal and amazing journey for me! Thoroughly recommend it!
Amazing work Moira! You are a testament to how someone can achieve such amazing results even with such a busy lifestyle. You have made amazing progress with your Roar programme to hear how your journey has made you feel overall is wonderful. We aim to educate you on how your nutrition and fitness support each other and how you make confident decisions on your own to maintain your health throughout. We can't wait to see what more you can do Moira, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Junior is the best
He is the best and so are you! You've been doing amazing Alex, well done!
Fantastic experience: Jack and Junior are both brilliant trainers and they make lifting weights fun. They are technically very good and challenge me in a good way. I’d thoroughly recommend Jack and Junior to anyone wanting to shake up a training regime and improve overall fitness (eg my running has improved since going to Roar).
Thank you so much for the great review Tara! We always want our training sessions to feel challenging, motivating but most importantly enjoyable and we are so glad to hear that you receive this support from both Junior and Jack! The Roar programmes aren't just solely for your time here, they are for life and it is amazing that your journey with us has supported your outside training. Keep up the hard work Tara!
Fantastic experience: Roar Fitness has been a 5 star experience from the very beginning. I trained with Jack and had James looking after my nutrition. They guided me through a 12-week program that genuinely changed my life both physically and mentally. Now I finally feel stronger, more confident, and healthier than ever!
This is amazing to hear Francesco, thank you so much! You have been on such an incredible journey with your Roar programme and the progress you have made is amazing. Both the physical and mental aspects of your training are key areas of the Roar programme that we hope to teach you, so this is wonderful to hear. Keep it up and we can't wait to see what more you can achieve!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Roar for the last 5 months, originally signed up for 3 months but seeing the transformation that occurred in the first 3 I just had to double up. Junior has been nothing but excellent, his knowledge plus the fun filled sessions keeps me wanting to come back. Accompanied by informative nutrition support from Jack, I feel that nothing can get in my way to achieving the targets! On top of everything the atmosphere as you enter is so welcoming and always leave there with a buzz! The receptionist team always brighten your day, the gym equipment is top quality plus you never feel that the gym is too overcrowded! I’ve never been a gym guy for 32 years of my life but Roar has certainly showed me how to love it!!
You have absolutely smashed it Matthew! You bring so much energy and motivation to your sessions and seeing the confidence you have built up during your time with us has been inspiring to watch. Your love for training as grown and the progress you have made is incredible! We are so glad to hear that with the incredible guidance from your trainer and your nutrition coach, the Roar programme has helped you achieve your goals and more. Get ready as that transformation is here!
Fantastic experience: Recently completed my training with Sam Keller of Roar Fitness, had a great experience with Sam and Roar. He was professional, supportive, and really helped me reach my fitness goals. Every session was well-structured and motivating. I’ve seen real results and learned a lot. Both Sam and Roar comes highly recommended. Daxi
This is great to hear Daxi, well done! This is exacty what we aim for with our Roar programmes, to not only achieve your goals but to educate you on how to maintain them. We love that you felt supported and you enjoyed your sessions with Sam! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I've just finished my 12 week transformation programme with Jack and Alex at Roar Kensington, and it really was transformative. I feel so much stronger and leaner, and I have so much more energy. I feel great! The whole experience was also really enjoyable. I loved training with Jack. He is charming, calm and considered, and so knowledgable about all things body and exercise. He is totally focused on the individual's needs, and it was a pleasure to work out with him twice a week. I am able to lift at least double that I was able to lift at the start of the programme, and my form is so much better. Moreover, the food and diet programme was easily doable and definitely leads to results. I haven't quite achieved the six pack I was after, but I am well on the way to one!
You have absolutely smashed it Cathy! It has been an absolute joy to see the progress you have made with Jack during your Roar Programme and the energy you bring to every session is unmatched. You are an inspiration and we are so glad to hear that your Roar Programme has achieved everything you hoped it would and that you are continuing on with us! Part of the many benefits of having a 1-1 personal trainer and a separate nutrition coach is that they can solely focus on you as an individual and work together as a team to achieve your goals. Well done!
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Daniel for a few months now and its has been extremely transformative. He is very calm and focussed in sessions and his approach is super effective. I come out of the sessions energised and feeling like I can tackle things. I feel strong again and excited about exercising. I had stopped exercising during pregnancy and had never been able to get back into it properly - I tried on and off for 7 years! Daniel did not only help me get consistent but got me back to feeling really strong. Everyone I haven't seen in a while comments on how different I am not just physically but I also have more energy and feel better in general.
This is amazing Cecile! To hear how your mindset has shifted in regards to your training and that you feel mentally and physically strong is wonderful to hear as it is everything we want to teach you during your Roar programme. Your overall health and how to maintain this is such a key aspect of Roar and you are absolutely smashing it. Well done!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Daniel and Jack at Roar for over four months now, and it’s been really enjoyable and stimulating. If you’ve been watching a lot of trainers on social media promising effortless, quick transformations then Daniel will quickly dispel those myths! It might not be what you - and to be honest, I - wanted to hear but you know it’s based on his knowledge and experience. What he will do is set you a realistic program that will enable you to reach your goals over time. Daniel explains every aspect of your training, what it’s for and what it will achieve, keeps sessions fun and helps you stay motivated. I’m in my 50’s and backed up with Jack’s help on my nutrition feel fitter and more energised than I have since my 30’s.
Nice work Andy! This is a testament to all the hard work you have put in during your time with us and the trust you have built with Dan and Jack over time to not just support you achieve your results but how to sustain them through life. It's amazing that you feel transformed over all and we love to see the progress you have been making! Thank you for the wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: Just wrapped up a few sessions at ROAR Kensington and couldn’t recommend it more. The space is super sleek, well-equipped, and has a great energy. Big shoutout to Junior, an incredible coach who knows how to push you while keeping it fun and motivating. If you’re looking to train smart and get results, he’s your guy.
This is so great to hear Hamza, thank you! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your sessions with Junior and that you felt pushed, motivated and that you achieved the results you set out to.
Fantastic experience: Gursewak is the best! Really enjoyed getting to work with him - he’s fun, helpful, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend, enjoyed my experience here and found it really useful!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Sidhant! It was great to see the progress you made with Gursewak and that you felt educated by your programme so you can carry it with you in the future. We hope to see you again when you return to London!
Fantastic experience: They promised, made me work hard, and delivered. Definitely recommend this!
Nice work Gence!
Fantastic experience: I signed up for an 8-weeks training program and it completely changed my living habits to the better. Training with Gursewak was an amazing experience. Gursewak is very kind and fun to train with. He is very understanding and always tried to push me to my limits while considering my past injuries. Very professional coaching. 5⭐. Also, Jack built a tailor-made nutrition program for me, incorporating my eating habits and guiding me throughout the process, which helped me achieve my goals set at the beginning of the programme. Their advices and training instructions will become part of my everyday routine to maintain what has been achieved these months I trained with ROAR.
Thank you so much for your review and this is exactly what a Roar Journey is about. Achieving results whilst on our programmes but learning sustainable habits to take you forward. Great work!
Fantastic experience: Gursewak helped me massively with my training and taught me a lot on how to do so effectively. Great communicator and pushes you for maximum effort with very good progress made. Thanks mate.
Fantastic experience: Training with Roar was both physically and mentally transformative. I was lucky to work with an amazing trainer, James, who guided me through an eight-week program that got me feeling strong again. I’d fallen out of my routine, but this helped me rebuild healthy habits, improve my form, and feel confident in my body. I’m so grateful — highly recommend!
We love this! The power of training to help both physically but also mentally and for body confidence are what we want to achieve with everyone! Amazing work.
Fantastic experience: I've never been thin. Never believed I could be. Forever, I've had a horrible body image. Struggling with perimenopause and waiting forever for HRT, I was looking for an alternative solution. Having spent a lot of time healing past trauma - I had changed mentally but felt I needed to do the work to make my body match how I felt inside. After a lot of research I went to ROAR. Alex, Dan, and Jack are amazing. Aside from being physically stronger, I feel mentally much stronger. I'm not where I want to be because these three are so amazing, and I trust them immensely, I now believe I can go further than I had ever imagined. I love my sessions. I wish I could find the time to do three times a week instead of two. There's a level of authenticity at ROAR I hadn't expected - and it's awesome. I'd tell anyone, if you can do it, give it a go. You won't regret it.
Wow thank you Kimberly for sharing your experience. Our mission at Roar is to help clients to achieve beyond what they believe possible so we truly love this! Keep showing up and putting in your hard work and you will amazed at what you can do!
Fantastic experience: My experience at ROAR has been life changing. I signed up because of back pain thinking it would do me good but that I’d not enjoy the 12 weeks of 3x PT sessions, but I loved it from day one. I have since referred a friend who’s joined & I’m signing up for another 12 weeks, & intend to do so indefinitely. The combination of Jack Pressling’s advice and support on nutrition, and the amazing Kyrun Lakhe’s and his PT expertise has really made this experience. I never considered myself doing this kind of thing before but now I can’t imagine not doing it. I recommend ROAR and its team 100%
Thank you Richard! Amazing to see you progress despite your initial back pain and we are so excited to see what you can continue to achieve with your team :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent PT. Pleasant to work with, pushes me hard but not too hard. I look forward to my PT sessions. For someone who hates the gym, it is down to Kyrun that I look forward to the gym and am starting to see results
Amazing! Thanks for sharing Sonia and keep it up!
Fantastic experience: After going fully off the rails with food and no exercise, I was the biggest I’d ever been, and ROAR got me back into shape and stronger than ever before! Alex Smith taught me to eat properly and challenged my strength and is truly top tier!
So pleased for your results Kirsten. Keep it up...
Fantastic experience: 10/10. I had Alex for two months and saw such good results I extended my programme with him for another two months! Fun, easy going but always delivering tangible results week on week - I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. Highly recommend.
Keep up the hard work Tobias and we are excited to see you getting stronger and pushing beyond your own limits. Amazing!
Fantastic experience: I joined Roar as I needed to make a change. Young kids, stressful job, lots of travel and a poor diet led me to feel unhappy mentally and physically. Enter stage right – Junior! Junior has been brilliant to train with. Technically very strong, pushes you to your limit and is very relatable. I’ve just finished my initial 12 week package and have renewed. I already feel like a different person. My mind is much clearer, diet is significantly better; my body is starting to take shape. I have seen significant improvements in such a short space of time – I want to continue going! I highly recommend Junior as a trainer (although he is an Arsenal fan but don’t hold that against him)!
Brilliant Nick, what amazing changes you have made and felt in such a short space of time. Great work, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I just renewed after my first 12 weeks at Roar and I couldn’t be happier with how my programme has been going… I’ve been training with Junior and doing nutrition with Jack - they are both amazing. When I first arrived I’d been literally terrified of stepping foot in a gym for years after getting so out of shape - but they made it so welcoming and easy from the start, it’s such a supportive atmosphere, not judgemental at all. From a nutrition point of view Jack made it easy for me to understand and I haven’t felt overwhelmed or deprived at all despite obviously making significant changes to my diet and Junior has been awesome - he makes every training session so fun and positive and I genuinely can’t get my head around the progress I’ve made with his help- it’s the first time in so long I’ve felt good about myself and instead of hoping I will one day achieve my goals, I’m now 100% I will - still getting my head around that too! Thank you SO much - genuinely couldn’t recommend Roar more wholeheartedly- amazing
Amy, what a fabulous review to read and the thought of you feeling good about yourself warms our hearts, and it exactly our hope for everyone who joins Roar! Sounds like a dream team, huge congratulations :)
Fantastic experience: ROAR is the place to go if you really want to make a major stepchange in your health and well-being to be in better shape. The ROAR program is excellent as it offers a balanced disciplined approach between building strength, improving endurance, and shaping your body through relevant adjustments in your nutrition and overall activity, to deliver your personal objectives. The whole program is tailored to your personal objectives, taking into account your initial conditions and pushing you in a very motivating and fun way to your limits - in a safe way - with amazing coaches and a very thorough monitoring of your progress. With this approach, you see improvements each and every week and gradually feel in greater shape. The coaches are all excellent and in particular I would like to recognize Junior - my coach - who has motivated me in an amazing way, helping me make significant progress in a few months and making fitness a key part of my daily routine. With Alex who helped on monitoring the progress and advising on nutrition and lifestyle, you will see the improvements on your overall health and physical shape. I strongly recommend the ROAR program and its amazing team to help your along the journey of improving your health and well being for the long run.
Samy, we can feel the positive effects your programme is having on you through your words, and this is amazing, and what we hope to always achieve. Congratulations on making such fantastic changes and gains :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym with excellent trainers. Friendly, helpful and gets results.
Thank you Richard for taking the time to leave this :)
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Roar enough! From the moment I stepped into the gym, it was clear that this was a place where serious progress happens. Junior was absolutely amazing—he pushed me to limits I didn’t even know I had, helping me unlock a new level of strength and endurance. His encouragement and expertise made every session feel like I was constantly leveling up. Alex played a crucial role in my transformation, holding me accountable with my nutrition and making sure I was fueling my body properly for maximum results. It wasn’t just about workouts; it was about creating a balanced approach that supported my goals every step of the way. The entire team at Roar is incredible, each member contributing to an environment that’s both challenging and supportive. They’ve taken my fitness to new heights, and I’ve seen results that I never thought were possible. If you’re serious about making a real change and pushing yourself beyond your limits, Roar is the place to be. This team will help you get there!
Philip this is so good to hear and exactly what we plan for, working with a team to help you achieve results you never thought possible. Congratulations, amazing job!
Negative experience: I paid for an online personalised fitness programme but it could have been written by AI -- 60 mins of gym work each day and online feedback from a 'coach.' I work full time and this was completely unrealistic for me. Once you pay, they don't refund. Download yourself an app and save the money.
This is a fake review
Fantastic experience: George trains both me and my wife Lisa @ ROAR (seperately) and he is a hugely positive thing in our lives. A great trainer, coach, counsellor and motivator. We just dont want him to get too busy with other clients...!
Paul, this is great, coach, counsellor and motivator :) We love seeing both yourself and Lisa at Roar Kensington, and long may it continue!
Fantastic experience: Training at Roar Fitness has been nothing short of transformative. When I started, I weighed just over 100kg and was untrained and inactive. In just over four months, I’ve lost more than 25kg while significantly increasing my strength and muscle mass. A huge part of my success is thanks to my PT, George, who has been instrumental in guiding me through this journey. His exceptional knowledge of maximizing muscle hypertrophy, grounded in scientific literature, meant that even with just three one-hour workouts per week, I was able to achieve maximal results. Training with George has emphasised the importance of proper lifting techniques, such as controlled eccentrics, training close to failure, effective volume and tempo. George knows exactly how hard to push you, keeping me motivated to give my all in every session while ensuring I could recover effectively to perform at my best in the next. Equally, my nutritionist, Jack, has shown me that weight loss and maintaining a caloric deficit don’t have to be difficult. His advice on nutrition, daily activity, and lifestyle modifications has helped me build sustainable, consistent habits that made the process feel seamless. Jack was always available to fine-tune my nutrition plan, tailoring it to suit my needs and ensuring it remained personalised and effective at every stage. I’m now eating better and moving more day-to-day than ever before. The entire team at Roar Fitness has been exemplary from start to finish, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Michael what a journey...your numbers speak for themselves, you must be very proud of yourself! Sounds like a dream team, we are delighted for you.
Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with many personal trainers over the years, but James and the team at Roar Gym have truly set a new standard. Their approach is incredibly professional, personalised, and results-driven. James took the time to understand my goals and tailored every session to maximise progress. The results I’ve achieved with him have been the fastest and most impressive I’ve ever experienced. The combination of James' expertise, the structured training programs, and the supportive environment at Roar Gym made all the difference. I highly recommend James to anyone serious about achieving their fitness goals efficiently and effectively. Thank you, James and Roar Gym, for transforming my training experience!
Aaron its so good to hear how your Roar journey has transformed your training experience. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I’ve always been a keen runner but I had never done anything like Roar before March this year and it has been phenomenal! It’s enhanced the way I feel, my energy levels are up and my running has improved beyond belief! Stas Tarabrin my PT is a total pro and 100% on it all of the time, a real class act! James Castle-Mason has been an awesome nutritionist. What a team! Thank you Roar. I’m totally hooked and looking forward to more!
Amazing work Nick, we love that you're hooked! See you on the gym floor soon!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had an amazing experience with George and Alex at Roar Kensington! I initially signed up for a 3-month program and was thrilled with the progress I made—not just in terms of weight loss and measurements, but also how my clothes fit, my overall health, and how much stronger I’ve become each week. I’ve loved my results so much that I decided to continue training with them. George has been fantastic in the gym—always positive, motivating, and pushing me to do my best. He creates detailed plans tailored to my goals and is incredibly flexible with my schedule. Alex has also been a huge help with nutrition advice and regular check-ins, making the whole process feel supportive and personalized. I can’t recommend Roar Kensington enough!
Your progress has been so good Destiny, what a team you make! Keep up the amazing work!
Fantastic experience: It is an incredible gym, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my experience working with George as my trainer and Jack as my nutritionist. George has been fantastic—he’s profoundly knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and supportive. From the moment we started training together, I felt completely at ease, knowing I was in capable hands. George’s approach is nothing short of transformative. He understands my goals and has crafted a training program that has improved my physical fitness and made me feel stronger, more confident, and full of energy. His patience and encouragement during every session make a difference, and his genuine care for my well-being shines through in everything he does. In addition, working with Jack as my nutritionist has been a game-changer. His expertise has helped me adopt healthier eating habits that complement my fitness routine perfectly. The combination of George’s exceptional training and Jack’s tailored nutrition guidance has left me feeling better than ever. I can’t thank George enough for his unwavering support and motivation—he has truly impacted my life. George is the one if you’re looking for a trainer who is not only skilled but also compassionate and dedicated to your success. With him and Jack working together, I feel incredible!
Siobhan, hearing how incredible you feel makes us so happy! It sounds like you have your training and nutrition, in your words have been a game changer and we love this for you. Amazing work, well done.
Fantastic experience: Training here is fun. I have a great trainer George - he is very dedicated and explains everything very well. He has also helped me improve a lot.
Brilliant Namita, see you on the gym floor soon!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the privilege of working with George over the past few months. Throughout my program he has been professional, punctual and always supportive of my goals. He has a passion for fitness and his knowledge adds an educational element to training. He has made a significant impact on my fitness journey. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is seeking a positive lifestyle change.
Having a positive impact on clients is our mission Kavir, and we are so pleased you are feeling it. Great job!
Fantastic experience: I have been training with George at Roar Kensington for almost A year now. He is a very knowledgeable and caring PT who knows how to push you to get the best results whilst also making each session enjoyable with his positive and friendly attitude.i have learnt a lot about weight training and now feel much more comfortable going to the gym and training by myself with the exercises and workouts I’ve done at Roar.
We are so pleased Sadie to read this and hear of your super positive Roar experience. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Roar for over a year now and it's been such a great investment in my health. Strength training is so important but also something that's easy to get wrong (poor form or lifting the incorrect weight for my capability has lead to injury in the past). I'm so appreciative of what a perfectionist Jack is- always optimizing my form and pushing me to the appropriate limit. It's the first time in a long time that I can see see a difference. Not only does training give me the accuracy I need, but also the accountability.
Amazing Whitney, the correct form is essential and we are so delighted to hear that you are not only optimizing this but staying accountable! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at Roar for nearly a year, and it’s been an incredible investment both physically and mentally. My fitness has improved significantly thanks to working with Sam. He’s thorough, motivating, and has given me so much more knowledge and confidence in weight training, especially with heavier and more complex lifts. Additionally, the energy at Roar is great— the other trainers are positive and friendly, making every session enjoyable. I'd recommend Roar to anyone - especially those who may be coming back to fitness after time away.
Love reading how you've gained knowledge and confidence Kelly, especially with heavier and complex lifts, fantastic! We look forward to seeing you on the gym floor soon.
Fantastic experience: After my beloved Florence left Roar, I found my allegiance wavering despite having just renewed for another 12 weeks. My hopes of connecting with a new trainer were marginal at best. Enter Sam. Sam is 189 centimetres of unbridled enthusiasm and joy. A stickler for form, he puts as much into his coaching as I do lifting the heavy weights he puts into my hands. When he asked what my goals were, I told him I wanted to perform a perfect pull-up from a dead hang. "Alrighty then!" was his response and we immediately and methodically got to work. It took months, but we got there one week after my 57th birthday. 1 pull-up has now turned into 4 with an eye toward knocking out 10. Thank you, Sam. I may curse your name after our Saturday met cons, but I secretly like them because I feel like such a bad ass afterwards.
Hi Kerry, such honest and kind words. We are really glad and proud that you've gained this confidence, self love and motivation! We will be here at Kensington, City or Dubai ;) to applause and to congratulate you when you'll accomplish the 10 pull-ups! This is the journey we like to hear, towards a true self accomplishment. Florence is incredibly attentive, dedicated and will be first row seat to see you achieving this goal! Keep up the great work! ROAR team X
Fantastic experience: Wow, what a journey it's been – and it’s still ongoing! My experience with ROAR has been truly remarkable. The whole team has been fantastic, and my trainer, Sam, is simply outstanding. While I’m not quite a fitness fanatic yet, I always leave each session feeling positive and energized. A huge thanks to ROAR and especially to Sam – I can’t recommend them enough!
Ola, feeling positive and energized after each session is fantastic, and well done to you. As for being a 'fitness fanatic'...just give us time :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym and environment. 5* personal training service . From the minute you walk in the ladies behind the desk make you feel welcome and all the trainers are very nice . My trainer Alex is a good guy and more importantly a very good trainer . West Ham fan though so unfortunately nobody is perfect . I look forward to coming to Roar even though I’m usually aching !!!
Sorry about Alex being a West Ham fan Barney, but delighted he's making you ache :) Keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: James is an excellent PT. He is conscientious, experienced, professional and dedicated. I feel I have really improved my technique and strength after a few months working with him. Many thanks!
Improved technique and strength is amazing Francesca, and between yourself and James gains are being made, which is fantastic.
Fantastic experience: I joined ROAR because I was going through a tough time, and life had really taken its toll. I finally decided it was time to take control and do something about it. It took me a year to finally book a consultation, but I’m so glad I did. To be honest, I was a bit nervous at first. My eating habits weren’t great, I hadn’t exercised in ages, and I worried about being judged. But then I met Alex. Alex is nothing like the typical intimidating trainer. He makes workouts enjoyable (yes, really), never makes you feel bad if you struggle, and seems to know exactly what you need. He’s supportive, knowledgeable, and actually listens. The facilities are excellent, and everyone is really welcoming. Even when I forgot my gym kit a few times, I’d find it neatly folded the next day—small details like that make all the difference. ROAR has a great atmosphere that pushes you in a positive way. It’s completely changed my approach to food and fitness. I’m eating better, I’ve understood where the weight gain came from, and 12 weeks in, I can genuinely see the results. I initially signed up for 12 weeks, but I’ll definitely be continuing. And a huge thank you to Alex (@Alex_RoarFitness) for being such an amazing trainer and always bringing a great sense of fun to each session. It’s made all the difference.
Nur hearing of the positive effects training at Roar is having on you and your life is wonderful. Congratulations on taking the first (albeit nervous) steps and setting yourself on this positive path. We are delighted you chose us to help you, and look forward to seeing you on the gym floor soon.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and results. James Castle-Mason (My trainer) was dedicated, organised and super professional. The program suited me perfectly and took into account my limitations. I am In the best aesthetic shape I have ever been in. ROAR is the best gym i have found st delivering body transformations.
We love seeing you on the gym floor James, and hearing how you're much you're enjoying your programme. Like you, we look forward to seeing your end result!
Fantastic experience: Amazing! The level of service from booking my first session with ease to completing a training programme my experience was faultless. As someone that’s trained for many years I still learnt so much and felt incredibly comfortable with James my PT. So knowledgeable and achieved amazing results, as well as having a great time doing it. The gym is impeccable and also has a great atmosphere .
We loved seeing you on the gym floor Chris, and are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your time with Roar. Hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Ive been training at Roar Kensington for a while now and it never dissapoints. My trainer is so knowledgable and energetic, its the ultimate motivation. Ive never felt better than while training here regulary. Thank you to all the team who make this place what it is, its a special family to be a part of. Thanks Roar! Recommend to anyone considering changing their life for the better! you wont regret it!
Jo, we love having you as part of our Roar family and are so pleased to hear how much you are enjoying it. See you on the gym floor soon.
Fantastic experience: Working out at ROAR has been such a fun and amazing process- Ben has been supportive and patient and so helpful- I’ve grown in confidence and enjoyed every session! I would 10/10 recommend ROAR and Ben to anyone ☺️
Great to hear Khaya, this is lovely to read! Well done to you.
Fantastic experience: Training at ROAR Kensington has been an amazing experience. Regardless of where your fitness journey is (first time, you’ve trained before, or this is a compliment to other training/activities) I found that the entire team is fully committed to make your goals a reality. And the ambience is always positive and safe. I arrived the first day not feeling at my best, both physically and mentally, and I have to say the team was really nice and supportive throughout my initial assessment and during my training. My personal coach was Alex and he is such a great coach, from his knowledge in training to his positive attitude and energy. Training with him made my training days even better. Making a commitment to train can be hard at times and you might not always feel motivated to do it, but when you’re surrounded by a team like this, it makes every training session a more enjoyable and fulfilling experience. 100 % worth a try.
Thank you Stephanie, so many great words used here to describe your journey...positive, safe, enjoyable, supportive & fulfilling! We are so delighted you enjoyed your training and whole Roar experience.
Fantastic experience: I've been using ROAR for several years now and it's a brilliant place. Great facilities, kept in pristine condition, and a lot of high quality personal trainers bursting with skilled advice and enthusiasm for people at all stages of fitness. I've been working with James Castle-Mason since the start of 2023, and can't recommend him highly enough - such a knowledgable, friendly, encouraging, but also demanding trainer who pushes me hard but always in a challenging and collaborative way that I really enjoy. I've also worked regularly with ROAR owner Sarah Lindsay, a former Team GB Olympian who knows exactly what buttons to push to get my competitive juices flowing! Her attitude sums up ROAR - fun, warm, but ultimately a place to get yourself in better, healthier, fitter shape. If it's worked for me, it can for you. Definitely give them a try.
Thank you Piers. We love seeing your competitive side with Sarah during your challenges...T-bar row, bicep curls, tricep extension, wonder what's next! Keep up the good work, and we'll see you on the gym floor soon.
Fantastic experience: The best thing about Roar Fitness for me was my trainer Stas who was amazing! After the 8 week program, I am definitely stronger and see a difference in my muscle definition, tone and refinement. Had he not been my PT, I am not sure I would have had the same positive experience and results.
We are so glad you enjoyed your Roar training programme Christine, and love that you have definition, tone and refinement. Amazing work, well done!
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Roar and the entire team in Kensington. From the moment you walk in everyone is welcoming, focussed and professional. I have been training with James for 8 weeks so far, having been out of the gym for 4 years, I now have my mojo back. I cannot thank James and Alex enough for their support and the results I have achieved in such a short time.
Wendy a returning mojo is music to our ears! Congratulations, brilliant work!
Fantastic experience: Have worked with many PTs over the years. James Castle-Mason at ROAR Kensington is one of my favourites! He is well-informed and understands anatomy; he is very particular about form; expects to add value to his clients' sessions and is always fully-present; recognises that on some days the body is able to work harder than on others; and always pushes me to a safe limit. He is also really fun! Win-win! I have no hesitation in recommending him! :-)
Nina, a win-win sounds good to us :) super effort on your part too, and we look forward to seeing you on the gym floor soon! Thanks Nina.
Fantastic experience: I just finished an awesome 3-month training program with Stas, and I couldn't be happier with the results! He's super professional, knows his stuff inside and out, and is always precise with his guidance. Not only did he teach me the correct positioning for exercises, but he also educated me on muscle groups and how to target them effectively. In collaboration with Jack who handled the nutrition, Stas also provided his guidance which was very helpful. This comprehensive support has led to amazing overall results. I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made. I highly recommend Stas (and ROAR) to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals with the help of a dedicated and knowledgeable trainer.
Galland, this is so good to hear and we are delighted you are so happy with your experience and your results. Congratulations to you!
Fantastic experience: After training at Roar with James for 2 months, ive had such a positive experience that I'm now fully sold and will be booking more session with him to continue what we have started. Since working with James I have lost 15lbs of unwanted fat whilst improving my strength and fitness. James has made the whole process fun and easy to follow whilst getting fantastic results which is a testament to knowledge. Thank you James.
Wow Keirone this is impressive. Fantastic news, keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Have had excellent experiences with Alex as PT at ROAR Kensington. Really committed and insightful on my training, as well as super friendly and encouraging.
Brilliant Owen, delighted you experience the full force for Roar! Thanks for taking the time.
Fantastic experience: Coming to the end of my 8 weeks with James at Roar...and am now booking extra sessions to continue with him. James is focused and determined to help me get results. He is minutely focused on form and ensuring each rep delivers as much benefit as it can. I've enjoyed my time with him and am looking forward to the next few weeks...I've also seen significant and noticeable positive changes in strength and muscle definition.
Hi Jonathan, thank you for taking your time to write this amazing feedback. We are glad to see you are enjoying the training with James and most importantly seeing results and feeling stronger. Keep up the amazing work! Well done!
Fantastic experience: Ive been training at Roar for the last 6 weeks with Stas. After having back issues for last couple of years i was really nervous about beginning my 3 month program incase i injured myself by having a trainer that didn't understand my injuries. Having been paired with Stas i honestly couldn't be enjoying the program more. I felt extremely lucky to have him as my trainer. Not only have i felt so looked after with him but he really knows what he's doing and spends so much time explaining, guiding and teaching me everything from injury prevention to what i need to be doing with my new weight training program. Thank you again Stas, you've really made me love exercising again.
Hi Papillion, This is fantastic! We are really glad that you are enjoying training again without any apprehension. Stas is experienced and very attentive. With a focus on the form and tempo, you get results in and prevents injuries. Well done for your amazing work and see you soon on the gym floor!
Fantastic experience: I’m just about to complete a 12-week training package - as a complete exercise/strength training novice it has been a mindblowing experience! Alex has been incredibly attentive, positive and motivating, and has helped me improve so much in such a short space of time! I’ve also found the nutrition sessions far more helpful and informative than I was expecting, and one of the key benefits of the whole experience (beyond seeing my fitness and physique improve) is feeling more energised and able to fuel my body in the right way. The vibe in the gym is also so friendly and welcoming, meaning you really look forward to sessions each week. I really couldn’t recommend more highly for people of any skill or experience level! Thank you!
Hi Grace, thank you so much for your feedback. We are really glad to hear that your experience at ROAR and especially with Alex, is a success. As rightly said, our program is adapted to all fitness level and we re aiming at providing an excellent customer service. Well done on your improvements and hope to see you on the gym floor!
Fantastic experience: Simply amazing. Stas is 10/10, really nice guy, trains you like he is training himself, deeply cares and pushes you to the next level. Totally worth it!
Hi Philipp, thank you for your amazing words. Yes, Stas is highly knowledgeable, attentive and goal-focused. We are really glad to hear that you are enjoying your training with him and getting results! Well done and keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Roar more! I've enjoyed every minute of training, even when I’ve been pushed really hard and out of my comfort zone! I'm training with Jack who is super supportive and enthusiastic! The facilities are excellent, there is a great atmosphere and energy, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I’m looking forward to continuing with this amazing team!
Hi Lauren, thank you for your words and amazing energy! Jack is an excellent and experienced trainer who will push you to succeed as he is goal-focused. Your commitment is fantastic and we are glad to have you part of the ROAR community! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I have been working with George for about 4 and 1/2 months now. He's the nicest sweetest guy and always happy and positive and making jokes thus making the training bearable. I was so happy when I was paired with him by Roar - which has a great programme. I was looking for a body transformation Hollywood style and with them have lost 19 kg (James my nutritionalist who taught me how to diet was central to this effort - I had to re-educate myself about all things food and he was knowledgeable, kind and brilliant in taking me through the steps was also essential). George has been the best personal trainer - he has taught me how to lift weights with correct form and technique and given me confidence in the gym. He pushes you hard but thats what you want out of a trainer. But he makes the whole process enjoyable. Honestly having had therapy it's like a good therapy session to go in there and be taken through the hour's session. I could not recommend Roar and their team and their whole approach more strongly to anyone wanting to go through a body transformation. Excellent. Many thanks team. Baron Tomas Stael von Holstein
Tomas, we are delighted to read that you enjoyed your transformation process with us, and that you felt fully supported, which is always our goal. Amazing work, good job!
Fantastic experience: Six months ago, I stepped into Roar, and it’s been nothing short of transformative. My trainer, James Enfield, embodies expertise and thoughtfulness. He tailors each session to my unique needs, ensuring a personalized fitness journey. James isn’t just a trainer; he’s a well-being guru who champions the integration of gym workouts into daily life. But, what truly sets him apart is his unwavering focus on technique. It’s never about the weight lifted or the reps completed; it’s about mastering each movement. James, thank you for rekindling my love for the gym—it’s now an integral part of my everyday.
Hi Maggie,WOW, such an amazing review and we are really proud of you! Experienced trainers such as James, will always prioritize the form and control. We are also really glad to read that weight lifting and overall training is now a lifestyle. Well done and keep enjoying it!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love my new routine at Roar. Since the beginning of the program I could really feel stronger and more confident. None of this will be possible without my PT George, who is helping me to discover my superpowers. Our sessions are the hardest but absolutely the best a way to start my mornings ✨
A stronger and more confident Irene, sounds good to us! Nothing like a morning session to get you ready for the day. Keep up the great work Irene!
Fantastic experience: Training with James at Roar has been top-notch. I was rematched with him and his expertise, focus and attention to detail have given me the no-nonsense structure and motivation I've needed to progress, feel capable and get strong. He's really very excellent. Hugely grateful for my experience and highly recommend.
This is great to hear Katrina and sounds like you and James were a good duo, much like strong and capable. Excellent work!
Fantastic experience: I've been training with George at Roar for over a month and it has been absolutely wonderful. He is charismatic, knowledgable, precise with his instructions, and most importantly makes me feel very motivated and safe during our sessions. Each session is enjoyable and I often feel quite accomplished afterwards. It hasn't been long but I can already see and feel the progress that I've made. I am looking forward to continuing training with George and pushing myself further. Besides, I enjoy the privacy and quietness of the gym very much. It makes it easier for me to concentrate on my own training.
We are so delighted the privacy of Roar is working for you, and that you're feeling accomplished. This makes us very happy!
Fantastic experience: I've just completed the 12 week online training program with Tom Bevan as my coach - fantastic experience. The set up of the program itself is relatively simple - intentionally so to make it easy to stick to - training hard 3 times a week with a focus on nutrition. My concerns going in were that I would just receive a cookie cutter program with limited personalisation, but I found Tom really worked with me to develop the program according to my goals and focus. I also found I learnt a lot during the course of the 12 weeks - Tom was so knowledgeable and really forthcoming with sharing why we were taking a particular approach or why we were making changes. The weekly check-ins were great for accountability, detailed feedback and a motivation boost. I really appreciated the option to add videos of particular exercises to check form - Tom was able to provide insightful advice on how to improve technique and safety. Can't recommend the program and Tom enough - I saw results in the 12 weeks and have been inspired to continue after the end of the program, equipped with the knowledge to make sure I keep making gains.
Hi Gareth, absolutely thrilled to receive such a wonderful feedback about our online training program and about Tom's expertise. Tom is very knowledgeable and results-focused and most importantly he is very attentive to his clients needs. We are really glad that you are enjoying our online training. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Having trained with many Personal Trainers over the past 10 years I can honestly say that training at Roar for the past 6 months has been a phenomenal experience. George is an incredibly knowledgeable Personal Trainer! He brings amazing energy and expertise to each session and has helped me to achieve outstanding results. George plans and tailors each of my sessions to help me to attain my desired fitness goals. The consistent weekly progression I have achieved as a result has exceeded my expectations! Consistent, reliable and supportive. George has greatly helped me to correct my form and improve my technique when performing exercises and movements, which has been instrumental in influencing the recovery and improvements of my overall muscle rehabilitation, strength, mobility, energy and confidence in the gym. Alongside training I have also received great support from Jack for my nutrition who has helped me to stay on track and adapt my nutrition plan to my personal needs to achieve my desired results. Overall training at Roar has been a hugely rewarding experience, I’m very grateful for the encouragement and guidance I’ve received it has been life changing! The environment is friendly and welcoming, George and Jack provide empathy, encouragement and professionalism. I highly recommend the gym, team and facilities.
Hi Mel, thank you for taking your time to write such incredible feedback. George and jack are very knowledgeable and constantly support their clients in achieving their goals. Motivation, expertise and discipline are their drives. We are really glad to hear that you're progressing and more importantly enjoying the process, the energy, the vibe and our community! Thank you and and keep smashing those reps!
Fantastic experience: I have been training with James for the past 7 months and cannot recommend him and Roar South Ken enough! I used to do HIIT classes and had plateaued in my progression, and thanks to Roar I’ve gained strength and have prevented injuries from happening. The staff is absolutely lovely and the atmosphere is really pleasant - it’s always welcoming and a great way to feel motivated to go to the gym. The amenities and equipment are very high quality and super clean.
Hi Alexandra,Thank you very much for your feedback and we are really glad that you found your fitness path by following our ROAR program. James is a very knowledgeable trainer and goal-focused. Your discipline and dedication are also main factors of your improvements! Well done and keep up the great work. The team is glad to have you as part of our community.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Alex at ROAR Kensington enough I have now been working with him for a total of almost 9 weeks and he has supported and motivated me through my strength training sessions, and in preparation for my wedding, as well as my marathon training. This duo of focus training areas has not been easy, but with his expertise and wealth of experience he has tailored my training to suit me well and I am seeing the results in terms of overall fitness ahead of the marathon, as well as changes to my tone and definition of my body. He is professional yet approachable and I look forward to our sessions. I am looking forward to the next few weeks ahead! Thank you, Alex.
Hi Kate, thank you for taking your time to write this amazing review. Alex is undeniably a knowledgeable and experienced trainer which completed few marathons :) You've made amazing progress and you are going to be super toned for your wedding! Well done and keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I started training at Roar about two months ago. It has truly been life changing. Having had two babies over the last few years, I wanted to regain my strength and shed some weight! Alex has been brilliantly helping me with my nutrition - really focusing on the protein intake, getting my 10,000 steps in a day, and keeping hydrated - checking in along the way and keeping me motivated. George I’ve been seeing twice a week for PT. It is incredible the difference from our first few sessions - I can now confidently lift those heavy weights and can really see the progression each session on the various exercises. He’s got me doing exercises I never would have dreamed of being able to do. He really encourages and supports me throughout our sessions, and has kept me very focused. His attention to detail is first rate - checking my posture and progression throughout. Couldn’t recommend Roar and their fabulous team more!
Team work makes the dream work Laura, and what a team you, Alex and George have made, congratulations!
Fantastic experience: I was passing by in my car, when I saw this big word ROAR! it straight away took my attention, I look it up to find out it was a transformation gym. Following day, I called, made an appointment and joined the gym obviously after thinking a lot of the financial commitment I was going to do, as it not cheap! To be honest It has blown my mind. I have been luckily enough to have been matched with Daniel Mardari my PT (a peculiar character :-D ) he listens, understand me and he has developed a training programe that works for a person like me with a lot of injuries, such knee, hips and mummy baby pounch after 2 C-section. Don't get me wrong he makes me to lift HEAVY WEIGHT, this is serious training :-) , in only 3 weeks he has made me shrink one size. (All my clothes are too big for me) He actually gives me the motivation and the discipline I was lacking all this year .. he worth every freaking penny I paid for this session. Thank you
Hi Cecilia,Thank you very much for your amazing feedback and absolutely thrilled about your results, your discipline and all the confidence you gained in weight lifting. Daniel is a great listener, experienced and highly knowledgeable who makes sure that you will succeed! Well done for your journey so far and keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I can't express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding support and guidance I received from George and ROAR over the past three months. Working with George has been a game-changer in my weight loss journey. Beyond the physical transformation, George has been instrumental in boosting my confidence in the gym. His constant encouragement and attention to form have not only improved my workouts but have also made me more comfortable in the gym setting. I feel like I've rediscovered my old self, and it's all thanks to his dedication and expertise. I highly recommend ROAR fitness to anyone wanting to kickstart their weight-loss journey.
Hi Ina, this is a wonderful review. Your self-esteem and confidence gains are as much an accomplishment than your physical transformation. Mind and body are connected and we are glad that George is supporting you during your fitness journey. Talented and knowledgeable, he is also a real energy booster! Great team! Well done for your improvements and keep smashing those goals!
Fantastic experience: I have consistently trained at ROAR for a year now and have loved every second of it. I’ve managed to lose the last stubborn 13 kilo’s of baby weight that just wouldn’t shift, in the first 9 months of my training which didn’t feel as hard as I thought it would. With excellent help and support throughout from Alex Smith throughout for my nutrition help and the consistent joyous fat calliper measurements, which help keep you on track even when the scales don’t make sense. Combined with excellent training from 3 different PT’s throughout my time at ROAR. This has been down to my personal choice and wanting to try different people as my needs have changed throughout my journey at ROAR. I have to say that my current PT Scott Webber has been completely phenomenal and the best PT I’ve ever had in my 19 year gym experience! Despite him starting only in November I was lucky to experience him at the end of December and immediately changed over my training schedule to him. I count myself incredibly lucky I was able to get my regular appointments booked in with him so early before he got fully booked up! His experience is second to none and it shows. He is friendly, kind, considerate and incredibly knowledgeable of his craft. Even though I started with him 9 months after I began my training at ROAR and, once I had lost nearly all of the weight I wanted to, the biggest difference was a complete body transformation within my first 3 weeks of training with him which was considerably noticeable to me and my friends after I started training with him. He is also the first and ONLY PT who has taken my goal of achieving own body weight pull ups seriously and on average I have gained the ability to do nearly one, if not a whole extra pull up each week since starting my training with him. I cannot recommend him enough. Your only job now is to get an appointment with him! It’s unlikely ROAR will get rid of my by choice now, I think they’re stuck with me for a while by the looks of things !
WOW! Thanks Camilla! Only positive energy, motivation, enjoyment and improvements! Such an amazing feedback, that's what we like to hear! Alex and Scott are incredibly experienced and attentive and we are glad that your experience with us is such a self-accomplishment and also thrilled to have you part of the ROAR community. See you on the gym floor for an extra pull up! Well done and keep smashing those goals.
Fantastic experience: Love training at this place. De-stresses me from work, takes my mind off life and makes me feel better about myself. However, it would not be the same without my amazing trainer George. He MAKES my experience. Attentive, considerate, motivational (not to mention very funny!) - he’s just an all round great person, professional and trainer and I hope to train with him for many more years. The best thing about George is that he pushes you, but in a way that makes you know that he just wants the best for you and inspire you to achieve a level you never thought you could. Thank you Roar and thank you George!!!!!
We all need a de-stress Clare and we are delighted training at Roar Kensington with George is yours! Keep up the great work.
Fantastic experience: I joined ROAR after seeing the incredible results and experience my fiancée had with them. I'm almost at the end of my 8 week programme and I've loved every minute of it, cannot recommend it more! Training with Florence has been brilliant, she's always pushing me, giving me confidence that I can lift heavier, while always ensuring I have the proper form and thoroughly going through technique for every single exercise. I've learned so much from her and always look forward to our sessions. When I think I can't do it, she somehow gets a few more reps out of me I've never felt stronger, I'm getting leaner and more toned every week, my sleep has improved significantly... The nutrition & body composition check-ins with Alex have been great to speak about progress and tweak diet and exercise to get me closer to my goals. Lastly, absolutely everyone is super friendly and supportive, it's such a great environment to walk in every training session.
Hi Ana, thank you very much for your amazing feedback. Florence has a lot of expertise and she is wonderful in keeping motivation up! Keep smashing your goals with those little extra reps that makes all the difference, physically and mentally. Well done!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Florence, Alex and the team at Roar Fitness Kensington. For context, I’m a veteran with PT’s, having had many over the years. It has not always been an enjoyable experience! I also hate gyms, loathe exercise and am a real skinflint around paying for fitness! But the team at Roar have genuinely turned that around. Florence, my PT, is an absolute legend! She is diligent, knowledgeable, answers all of my inane fitness questions and doesn’t let me get away with slacking or being ok with poor form. She keeps the sessions fun and I genuinely look forward to showing up and training with her. For the first time I’m seeing actual physical results (building muscle, losing fat and greatly improved cardio fitness). Florence has also been instrumental in spurring me on to re-start running, and I have recently completed the couch to 5k programme. The gym is great with a good range of equipment and weights and the PT’s are all friendly. While the music can be somewhat underwhelming, my overall experience at Roar Kensington has been awesome and has also been well worth the investment!
Hi Charmaine,Thank you for taking your time to leave a wonderful review! We are really glad that you are enjoying training again and that you are reaching results with our ROAR program. Florence is a fantastic trainer, a very good listener and is very disciplined. Your fitness journey is incredible, keep up the great motivation and work! Well done!
Fantastic experience: Roar Kensington was great for me. My main trainer was James Castle-Mason - the titan of time-under-tension, the professor of progressive overload, the “stay-in-the-set” supremo. James is a superb trainer, his knowledge is brilliant and we had a laugh every session even after he made me do sled pushes and single arm rows. Alex trained me part of the time when James wasn’t there and he was great too, plus Jack who also did a couple of session. These trainers really know their stuff and will not let you down. Alex did my nutrition, it’s based around a selection of recipe options and there’s pretty much something for everyone in there. He was on hand to check in with about sensible choices for social occasions like business lunches or date nights or any time when you can’t prepare something from the booklet. Roar recognises that people have a life, can’t always eat from the recipe menu, and shows you how to work around and enjoy your social occasions and still get the results you want. I was super happy with my results and would have loved to carry on longer!
Hi FC, thank you very much for taking your time to write this amazing feedback about your journey with us and well done on achieving your goals! Our trainers are experienced and listen to everyone needs and expectations. We are glad that they provide you the guidance that you needed to balance your training and nutrition. The key is consistency so we hope to see you back soon at ROAR to maintain those achieved results. Well done!
Fantastic experience: Possibly one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I trained at Roar, Kensington for 3 months and can honestly it was one of the most enjoyable experiences and I can’t thank both George, my trainer and Jack, my nutrition coach, enough for all their support and advice throughout my time there. George guided me steadily from the beginning (I hadn’t trained at the gym properly for 5-6 years) and helped me hugely with my form and technique, making progress each week and I ended up lifting weights far heavier than I could have imagined. The difference in my energy levels (as well as physique) has astounded me and a big part of that was the nutrition guidance provided. It is an amazing set up, extremely professional and everyone working there are super friendly. I can’t recommend the place enough.
Hi William,Thank you very much for this amazing feedback! Based on a tailored nutrition plan and our exclusive ROAR training program, we are glad that your transformation journey with us has been a hit! We are really glad to have you as part of the ROAR community and hope to see you soon on the gym floor! Keep smashing those goals, well done!
Fantastic experience: I've worked with many trainers over the years, but Stanislav (Stas) is the best. He has a very clear understanding of my fitness goals, needs, and ability, has an extensive knowledge of physiology (crucial as I carry the odd niggle!) He very clearly demonstrates the proper technique for each exercise, and I feel totally confident in his ability to maximize the results of each session. He is a great motivator and communicator, and under his watchful eye he allows me to challenge myself to do better, understanding my limitations and helping me push past them. He also fully understands the nutritional side of the programme which is incredibly useful. I feel very comfortable working with, him, he gives very clear feedback and each session is fun with good banter! I recommend Stas without reservation, and also Roar which has fantastic training facilities and a very professional and welcoming atmosphere.
Delighted Andrew to hear how your Roar experience has been, and it's made you feel. Amazing work, well done.
Fantastic experience: Joined Roar recently, and have to say fantastic place to train and learn about correct nutrition, my trainer Stas Tarabrin is simply amazing!! Best PT I have ever had, his knowledge and technique of how to lift correctly with perfect form has been invaluable for me!
Hi Jay, thank you for taking your time to leave this fantastic review. We are really glad to hear that you are feeling empowered! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: If you’re serious about getting fit and transforming your body then this place should be top of your list. As you would expect the facilities are great, but it’s the staff that make it special. Special shout out to Alex, who guided me through the nutrition maze and who was always listening and making suggestions and adapting my food intake with my goals in mind. But my biggest thanks go to Stanislav (Stas), my personal trainer, who did the impossible and made me actually look forward to training. He’s a fantastic personal trainer: professional, really friendly and easy to get along with, encourages/pushes you just the right amount, knowledgeable and a genuinely nice guy to boot. At the end of my two months I looked and felt better than I have done in years. Thanks Stas, Alex and everyone at Roar Kensington.
Hi MT, thank you for taking your time to give us this amazing feedback. We are really glad to hear that your training and nutrition programs have been successful! Stas and Alex are experienced trainers and very goals-focused. But most of all, we want to congratulate you for your commitment and your discipline as you are the one who is putting the work in! Well done and hope to see you soon on the training floor to keep those gains up in 2024!
Fantastic experience: I enjoy the workout sessions in this gym. They work you hard & get quick results. It really got me into the benefits of weight training. Ask for Ella, she is the best trainer.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at Roar Kensington, the gym has a great PT concept for weight training. Kai HB is an outstanding personal trainer, he is knowledgable, encouraging and supportive and tailors the sessions to help me to achieve my goals. Delighted with the results I have achieved so far! 10/10 gym the staff are welcoming, the gym is clean and has great equipment!
Hi ML! This is a fantastic review and we are really glad that you are performing and achieving your goals. Kai is excellent and a very experienced and knowledgeable trainer. Keep up the great work and we are thrilled to have you as part of the ROAR community!
Positive experience: Firstly, I am extremely satisfied with the personal training sessions. My trainer Danial Madari has proven to be exceptionally knowledgeable, smart, and motivational. I started not knowing much about how to train but now I have much more understanding of how to train smart. I’ve had a few trainers train me, but this man definitely knows what he’s talking about. I thought I knew the basics but I was doing it all wrong. He taught me the proper technique of how to do it properly, the training aspect of it is definitely 5 star. However, I regret to say that my experience with the nutritionist has not been as positive. Despite my expectations, I found their services to be rather useless. I believe there is room for improvement in their approach and effectiveness. The menu they have sent me could have easily been found through a simple online search. As a client seeking personalized and expert advice, I was expecting a more tailored approach that goes beyond readily available information. Especially because I spent 4600 for this service. I most definitely expected more.
Whilst we are pleased to get such great feedback on your training sessions we were very sorry to hear this feedback on the nutrition. Your plan was detailed, bespoke, and monitored by a highly accomplished coach that has worked for Roar for many years. The programme starts with a detailed assessment but the key to client success is attending the regular nutrition check-ins to allow your nutrition coach to develop your plan and ensure your progress. When the advice provided is not adhered to and nutrition check-ins not attended, it will of course have an impact on your results which is a great shame. Our team were fully invested in your results and supporting you every step of the way with your nutrition coach providing a number of solutions for you to try and overcome your barriers.We pride ourselves on our nutrition services, and believe they are the very best the personal training industry has to offer, which our clients are always happy to rave about in their reviews so we are very surprised to hear this feedback.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend ROAR fitness. Having lost confidence and gained a few too any pounds post surgery I needed help and joined ROAR (London city). All the PTs at ROAR are friendly and at the top of their game. I was only meant to be training with Dan B for 8 weeks, but we’ve now be training for over 6 months which I think speaks for it self. He’s always professional, positive, full of knowledge and patient.
Fantastic experience: A thoroughly enjoyable, successful, and transformative experience. Roar provided me with a very clear, focussed, and structured programme to achieving my goals. The nutritional support from James, was a game changer, and although tough at times, has really taught me what I should be eating, when and what to avoid. My PT, Daniel, taught me a lot and pushed me at every session. His focus on technique and really maximising every element of every session has shown me how to train properly and effectively. All round, a great experience and one I would highly recommend. Thank you.
Hi R M, thank you for your amazing review. James and Daniel are very experienced, goal-focused and results driven trainers. We are really glad that you are enjoying your training journey along with your tailored nutrition plan with us. What a great achievement! Keep smashing those goals!
Fantastic experience: The group classes at ROAR are the best in London. As a self-proclaimed “class person”, I’ve tried most of the “best” spots and have been a member of a couple of the bigger brand name studios. What makes ROAR stand out from the crowd, and keeps me coming back for over a year now, are the instructors and the community they have built. It was through the classes that I also became a PT client (training then with James Colebrook who also leads the classes). While my PT program with ROAR has ended, I’ve kept up the classes and highly recommend them. The small class sizes of 10 mean that you get individual attention and a more “PT” feel. The environment is fun, friendly and inclusive. The music is fab. The workouts are constantly changing so you’re never bored and ALWAYS challenged. The programming is strength-based with a variety of dumbbells, bursts of cardio built in to get that heart rate up and also always a focus on the core. It’s well-rounded and taught by seasoned, technical instructors who truly know how to get results while creating a welcoming and fun environment. James Colebrook and Fay Jagger are truly the best! I mean it when I say there is nothing else like it in the area or across London! My only wish is that they would add Sunday classes and also the option to have an ongoing membership (as right now, they only offer class packages).
Fantastic experience: I have trained with Daniel Mardari at Roar for around 4 weeks with nutrition advice from Alex. Daniel is fantastic, straight talking and eagle eyed. I feel he gives me the perfect balance of pushing and encouragement as needed to help me excel. I feel both Daniel and Alex are invested in my success and are always there to support with any questions I might have.
Thank you Saad! Keep up the good work and we can't wait to see what you can achieve under the careful guidance of Alex and Dan.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of training under Daniel Mardari's guidance at Roar in Kensington. As a complete newcomer to the gym with low confidence, I presented a unique challenge. There were moments when both Daniel and I had concerns about my progress, but he never gave up on me. Daniel's unwavering belief in my potential, coupled with his exceptional support and guidance, yielded astonishing results after just 12 weeks. Daniel's approach is like a breath of fresh air; he has instilled confidence in me within the gym environment. Now, I can confidently step into a gym without feeling nervous, equipped with a clear understanding of what to do. In the future, I will undoubtedly return to Roar and exclusively continue my training with Daniel. I am profoundly grateful for the significant help he has provided. Daniel's expertise and unwavering passion for his work deserve top marks. It's truly inspiring to witness his dedication and commitment. Keep up the excellent work, Daniel!
Fantastic experience: 4 weeks in and I am so happy with my progress so far! Alex gave me an introduction at the beginning which was already very motivational. Jack is a great nutritionist and always happy to help with any of my questions. He is very honest and rational about the nutrition needed to achieve my goals. But of course my biggest compliment goes to Tyler, my PT!! He has been simply incredible. He constantly motivates me, pushes me, but also makes sure I am doing the exercises properly with the right weights. He knows exactly how to tackle the right areas with the right exercises. Always explains amazingly whenever I have a question about a certain exercise. 4 weeks in and -2.5kg so far - feeling stronger, healthier and more confident. Can’t wait to complete my 12 weeks and already looking forward to extending! Update: Amazing continued progress at Roar with Tyler! Dropped 5kg in total so far and I have another month left. Tyler’s approach resumes to be very consistent- pushes me to train harder. He clearly knows my own limits better than I do as I always surprise myself with Tyler’s help! I really can’t wait for the final results, but also to extend the program and work on fine-tuning. :) Also special thanks to the most amazing Valeria who was my cover for one week. Another amazing trainer at Roar.
Thank you Defne for your amazing feedback and well done with your results so far! This is as a result of your hard work an consistently working with your Roar team to keep you progressing. Keep it up and we look forward to seeing what you can do in 12 weeks - and beyond!!
Fantastic experience: Training at Roar has been an incredible experience. It's my second time back training with Roar since having kids and I'm enjoying it even more the second time round. James, my PT, is exceptional. I have a lot of old injuries which at the start affected my confidence but James (who is a stickler for good form and is an incredibly experienced PT) has given me the confidence to carry on with a challenging training schedule without any of my old injuries resurfacing, which is quite miraculous. The sessions are hard work but always fun and I'm feeling the strongest I've been in ages. Alex, who deals with my nutrition, is an excellent support and is always on hand to offer guidance with food/meals and always provides an overall morale boost. Furthermore, what's also great about the Roar experience is that whenever James has been on leave, I've been trained by some of the other PTs (Alex B, Alex S and Jack) and they've all been absolutely brilliant. I think they're going to struggle to get rid of me!
Fantastic experience: I'm having an excellent experience at Roar. Firstly, Jack P.'s nutrition advice has been a game-changer, leading to weight loss, a healthier diet, and a better understanding of my past mistakes. The recipe book provided makes it all the more manageable. Secondly, my personal training sessions, led by Daniel M. have been fantastic. He's not only professional but also has boosted my confidence, helping me build strength and endurance. His knowledge, patience and clear teaching have been instrumental in improving my technique. The gym is well-maintained, never too crowded, and Daniel's well-planned, efficient workouts have accelerated my progress beyond what I could achieve on my own. I genuinely look forward to each session because they leave me feeling better with more energy. Lastly, the whole team at Roar creates a friendly, supportive and positive atmosphere. I highly recommend Roar to anyone looking for a supportive fitness journey.
Thank you David for your amazing feedback and as a team we are all delighted to be supporting you in your journey.
Fantastic experience: My experience with my trainer Jordan Bunting at Roar has been excellent. He is very dedicated and professional and consistently encourages me to get most out of each session. Very positive impact.
Thank you for your review, Ashok! We can't quite believe how quick the last 10 months have gone since you first joined us and are so happy to hear how you've found your time with us so far.Keep up the hard work and have a lovely time in the Caribbean this Christmas! We look forward to welcoming you back in the New Year with some sled pushes.
Fantastic experience: Brook was my trainer and he was excellent! I stuck to the program and saw great results in a short space of time, but it felt very healthy and sustainable. Brook was very encouraging and thoughful as well as extremely knowledgeable on the subject of my posture which was a main area to change. Thank you Brook!
Fantastic experience: I have old sports injuries that have always been an issue when exercising, so I was a bit afraid to start training but my PT Gedas has helped me to gradually achieve strength, mobility and endurance, he has created a plan that is fun and challenging enough to keep me motivated. I don’t get bored at the gym! My PT is a lovely, fun person that keeps pushing me to the next level, I love training at ROAR.
Hi Minnie,Thanks for taking the time to write your review for Roar City Bank. Gedas truly is an asset to the team and it's so lovely to hear that reinforced. We're delighted to hear that your old injuries are not causing you problems anymore too! We love having you train at Roar too!
Fantastic experience: Roar Fitness has made the impossible, Possible! I am really thankful to Alex, who goes extra miles to and tailor the training and scheduling to my needs. "You just turn up, and leave the rest to Me!" This journey is only the beginning and I already feel stronger and healthier! Highly recommend, no-brainer!
Thank you for writing such a fab review Alice! The last 12 weeks has flown by and we're proud of you for all you've achieved during your first package at Roar Kensington.Clients putting their trust in us really does allow them to reap the results, and an incredibly motivating trainer like Alex makes it all the more easier.
Fantastic experience: Great personal training. The support and guidance from Tyler has really been a great experience. Can count on results with the extensive work the team do to support you. Definitely a brilliant gym and programme
Thank you for your review which is very much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Tom brilliantly guided me through the ROAR online programme I signed up to. He was full of knowledge, patience and understanding - qualities which you can't get enough of in this game, as it's a hard, enlightening and a challenging journey trying to loose and maintain weight. He has taught me a lot and I really felt he personally cared. I will definitely be taking up another ROAR programme in the future and couldn't recommend the company enough. Thanks Tom!
Thank you Laura. This is always genuinely lovely to hear as our team really do care about our client's results, whether they are in-house or online. We look forward to working with you again and good luck with your continued journey x
