If you’re willing to put in the hard work, Roar Fitness won’t disappoint. Headed up by former Olympic skater Sarah Lindsay, Roar’s programme focuses on strength training and diet. Ideal for those looking for quick and long-lasting results, the four-week online programme starts with a consultation to formulate your bespoke plan, spanning workouts, nutrition and supplements. Workouts are done via the Roar app and, throughout the month, you’ll have weekly check-ins with your trainer to keep you on track. 

The Details: A four-week online training programme costs £299 – eight-week and 12-week packages are also available. The programmes are designed around access to a gym, so you may need to factor a membership into the equation if you don’t have adequate kit at home.
