Sarah Lindsay is a personal trainer and Olympian, who stands out from the crowd.

As a three-time Olympian and former speed skater, Sarah has made a name for herself as one of the most recognised celebrity personal trainers in the United Kingdom. Her decorated career extends beyond the Olympics, as she is also a European gold medallist, two-time World silver medallist, and an astonishing ten-time British speed skating champion.

Sarah's journey in the fitness industry began in 2002 when she qualified as a personal trainer. After retiring from professional athletics in 2010, she embarked on a new chapter by establishing a trio of ROAR personal training gyms in London. In early 2023, she expanded her empire to Dubai with the launch of a fourth location. Sarah's innovative approach to fitness has led to the creation of ROAR Classes On Demand — an online fitness platform offering over 385 live and streamed classes filmed at ROAR's state-of-the-art Kensington studio. Sarah's unrivalled expertise and success have earned her the title of Britain's body transformation queen, and a list of regulars in the form of celebrity clientele including Ellie Goulding, radio DJ Nick Grimshaw, the Spice Girls' Mel B, rap artist Professor Green, and Piers Morgan, among many others.

Not only is Sarah a remarkable athlete and personal trainer, but she is also a proficient nutrition coach and a Winter Sports pundit for the BBC

Driven by her ability to change lives, Sarah is dedicated to helping her clients become fitter, enhance their overall well-being, and gain confidence both inside and out. She firmly believes that people often underestimate the incredible feeling of physical strength and how it can positively impact all aspects of their lives until they experience it themselves.
