ROAR Fitness Reviews

I love ROAR. Being new to Dubai I needed a base for PT with like minded people where I could progress my strength work and feel at home. I really love the space, the team and the music!! It’s a true community. Todd, my PT, is excellent and I’d really recommend him. He has made me stronger than I’ve ever been and people notice. I notice. I’m really pleased with the progress and can’t wait to see it continue. He pushes me. He listens and encourages me to bring my best everyday. His nutritional advice is strong, consistent and realistic for me with my lifestyle. I appreciate the personalised approach he’s taken to both my training and nutrition.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 ;))

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

I love training at ROAR Gym in Downtown Dubai. It’s clean, great atmosphere, and motivating, and I’ve seen real results. Sam Fish, my coach and nutritionist, provides excellent support with both training and nutrition. His guidance is practical and effective, and I really appreciate his dedication. Highly recommended!

I originally signed up for a 12-week programme at Roar Kensington with the goal of losing some weight and getting into better shape, which I achieved thanks to Junior. However, I’ve really enjoyed training with him and the results I’ve achieved, so I’ve continued with some regular sessions. The gym itself is a really nice space, clean, well equipped and never feels too busy or overcrowded even at peak times which I like. Junior is super friendly, patient and encouraging, especially when I’m not exactly the most natural gym person! Most importantly, I’ve genuinely seen and felt the results, which has made such a difference to my motivation. He also has great chat especially for those early morning sessions, so training never feels like a chore or something I don’t enjoy. I’d definitely recommend Roar and Junior specifically to anyone looking for a personal trainer who knows how to get results while still making the sessions enjoyable.

What an amazing result and exactly what we love to hear! You came to Roar with a goal, absolutely smashed it in your 12 weeks with Junior and are we are so pleased that you are continuing! Huge congratulations on everything you’ve achieved so far, and thank you for such a lovely review. Keep smashing it!

For my posture, the quality of my muscles, and let’s be honest, all the admiring looks 😄, I have to give a very big thanks to Sam Fish. Because this man absolutely deserves it. As I’ve told Sam many times, I’m very loyal to one personal trainer, but only when I feel like that person is training me as if I’m secretly preparing for the Olympic Games 😂 For me, a great trainer is someone who genuinely cares. Someone who pays attention, notices the smallest things, pushes me when I need to be pushed (and frankly above my limits because there is a progress) and makes me feel that they are investing not only their time and professional knowledge, but also a little bit of their soul into my progress. When I feel that, the quality of my training goes to a completely different level. And that’s exactly what happened when I joined ROAR two and a half years ago. I’m also endlessly grateful to Sarah Lindsay, the owner of ROAR, because she somehow managed to match me with exactly right trainer. She understood what I needed, probably better than I did at the time and chose Sam for me with incredible care and professionalism. That match has defined my commitment to training over the last 2,5 years! So yes, Sam, the muscles are mine, but I’ll give you a fair amount of the credit 😄 Best gym, best trainers and best management - hands down 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 you guys Rock!

I trained at Roar for 6-8 months leading up to my wedding and my trainers made it an amazing experience. I trained with Junior and Alfie and they got me ready for my big day. We got to a point where I was lifting weights I never thought I’d touch and I never once got injured or felt pain even though we constantly pushed the limits. Like all personal training, it all comes down to the trainer and Roar has the best ones in London.
