Olympic Training, Applied to You
Olympic preparation gives every training session a defined purpose. Exercise selection, technique, training load, nutrition and recovery are managed together, with progress measured against specific targets. The work is demanding, precise and progressive.
Sarah’s experience of that system underpins the ROAR Method. Across our personal training gyms in London and Dubai, we apply these principles to fat loss, muscle development and strength. Your starting point determines the programme; your results determine how it progresses.
Read Sarah on why more training isn’t betterFrom Team GB to ROAR
Short track speed skating demands explosive power, technical precision and tactical decisions at speed. Sarah represented Great Britain at three consecutive Winter Olympic Games, became a ten-time British champion and won European and World Cup silver medals in the 500 metres. Years of preparation and international competition shaped the training standards she brought to ROAR.

After her competitive career, Sarah coached Team GB figure skaters before founding ROAR with body transformation specialist Rich Phillipps. Their combined experience established the ROAR Method: strength training with precision, intelligent nutrition and measured progress. Kensington and Downtown Dubai followed.

How Olympic Training Shapes Your Programme
Every ROAR trainer is trained in the ROAR Method. These five principles connect Sarah’s Olympic experience to the decisions behind your programme: how you train, how you eat, how you recover and how we measure your progress.
| Principle | On the Ice | In Your Programme |
|---|---|---|
| Structured Progression | Strength, conditioning and technical work organised into phases, timed to peak for competition. | Exercise selection, sets, repetitions and load planned around your goal, then progressed as your strength and capacity improve. |
| Precision Coaching | Technique repeated until it held under pressure, with small gains measured and kept. | One-to-one supervision of technique, reps and tempo. Your trainer tracks and records every detail to guide progression. |
| Performance Nutrition | Energy intake and food timing planned to support training demands, competition and recovery. | A dedicated nutrition coach sets your plan around your training and goals, with practical food guidance adjusted to your progress. |
| Accountability | Training targets, regular feedback and responsibility for preparation between coached sessions. | Your trainer and nutrition coach regularly review your progress, address obstacles and hold you accountable for the actions behind your results. |
| Recovery and Longevity | Training stress balanced with structured recovery protocols to sustain performance across successive seasons. | Sleep, training load and recovery managed together to maximise results. A fully recovered body is better prepared to train harder, adapt and progress. |

Meet us for a free 30-minute consultation at City of London near Monument, Kensington High Street or Downtown Dubai near Dubai Mall. We’ll discuss your goals, any previous training and the commitment required to achieve the results you want.

Your personal trainer designs a structured strength programme informed by your assessment and goals. Every session is coached one-to-one, with technique, repetitions and load recorded to guide progression.
04 Your Nutrition Plan
Your dedicated nutrition coach sets calorie and macronutrient targets around your goals, training demands and lifestyle. Recipes and practical food guidance help you follow the plan, with regular adjustments based on progress. Body composition is regularly reassessed to measure results.

Questions About Olympic-Style Training
Anything not covered here, ask us at your free consultation.
How is this different from standard personal training?
The ROAR Method brings training, nutrition, recovery and progress tracking into one coordinated programme. Your personal trainer coaches every session and records your performance; your separate nutrition coach manages your nutrition plan. Regular body composition assessments show how you are responding, so changes are based on evidence.
I’m new to training. Will it be too advanced for me?
No. Your assessment establishes the right starting point for your strength, movement and experience. Your trainer teaches exercise technique, supervises every session and increases the demands as your ability develops. Beginners receive the same attention to detail and measured progression as experienced clients.
How does nutrition fit into the programme?
You work with a dedicated nutrition coach alongside your personal trainer. Your plan includes calorie and macronutrient targets, recipes and practical guidance tailored to your goals, food preferences and routine. Regular reviews assess your progress, energy and adherence, allowing your coach to adjust intake to support fat loss, muscle development and recovery.
How quickly will I see results?
You will see changes within two to three weeks, with more substantial body composition changes over eight to twelve weeks. We reassess body composition regularly and track training performance throughout. Your rate of progress depends on your starting point, goals and consistency with training, nutrition and recovery.
Will I keep my results after the programme?
Maintaining results requires continued strength training, appropriate nutrition and consistent recovery. During your programme, you learn correct exercise technique, how to manage food intake and the habits that support your progress. Your trainer and nutrition coach help you establish routines you can continue beyond your initial programme.
