How Craig Reignited His Strength with Personal Training at ROAR
At ROAR, we’re proud to work with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels. This month, we’re celebrating Craig, a dedicated professional who, in his 50s, decided to make his health and strength a priority again. What started as a personal commitment soon turned into measurable progress and a renewed passion for training.
We sat down with Craig to hear more about his personal training journey in London, what motivated him, and how ROAR helped him achieve more than he thought possible.
Building Strength and Focus with Personal Training After 50
Q: Craig, what first brought you to ROAR?
Craig:
“I felt like it was time to really focus on myself. As you get older, you realise you can’t take your health for granted. I wanted to build strength and improve my overall fitness, but I also needed structure and accountability. That’s what led me to ROAR’s expert personal training programme.”
Seeing Results Early with Expert Coaching
Q: What was the experience like when you started training?
Craig:
“Honestly, I started seeing results within the first week – definitely within the first 10 days. That was a big motivation boost. I was working with Kevin, one of ROAR’s personal trainers in London, and he really pushed me. He challenged me to lift heavier and to keep progressing every week.”
Achieving Strength Milestones Through Structured Training
Q: Were there any milestones that really stood out for you?
Craig:
“Absolutely. At the beginning, I didn’t think I’d be able to go anywhere near 35 or 37.5 kg weights – but we got there. It’s amazing to see how much your body can adapt when the training is structured, progressive, and consistent.”
That’s what I love about ROAR’s approach to strength training – everything is measured, tracked, and tailored to you.
Training in a Private, Supportive Environment
Q: What do you enjoy most about training at ROAR?
Craig:
“I love the private feel of the space. It’s not like a commercial gym where you’re waiting for equipment or being watched. It feels like your own gym, and that creates such a comfortable, focused environment where you can really train hard without distractions.”
That private setup makes a huge difference, especially for people like me who value structure and focus.
Reigniting Motivation and Passion for Fitness
Q: How has your mindset changed since you started?
Craig:
“Once you start seeing progress, you just want to keep going. You get more passionate about it. I’ve started to challenge myself even more because I know what’s possible now. That’s something I didn’t expect when I first began my personal training programme.
It’s become something I genuinely enjoy – not just a routine, but part of my lifestyle.”
It’s Never Too Late to Take Control of Your Health
Q: What would you say to someone in their 50s or 60s who’s considering personal training?
Craig:
“Don’t wait. It’s never too late to take control of your health. With the right guidance – like the team at ROAR in London offers – you’ll surprise yourself with what you can achieve. I certainly did.”
It’s not just about lifting weights – it’s about rebuilding confidence, improving energy, and feeling stronger every day.
