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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The ROAR programme is definitely one of the best I’ve ever followed. If you stick to the plan you’ll see results pretty quickly. The myth around weight training helping you reach your goals is really true!
But, the added element here is the amazing team supporting you to do this and tailoring the plan according to what works for you. My trainer Scott has been amazing - his mantra of ‘YOU ARE GETTING STRONGER’ motivates you endlessly and makes you reach levels you never thought you could. Scott has made my experience here. For me, he is one of the rare trainers I’ve come across who really tries to understand the client and what motivates them. All praise Scott. Jack, my nutritionist has also been wonderful and has tweaked my plan based on progress. Definitely worth the money for anyone who is wondering. I never could have done this without ROAR, Scott and Jack!
