Expert Awareness:
Every exercise is tailored to your specific needs - joints, health history, and condition (arthritis, osteoporosis, joint replacements) are all taken into account.
Small, Welcoming Groups:
Our community Pilates classes are strictly limited in size so you always get the instructor's full attention.
Zero-Judgment Zone:
No overly loud music, no complex choreography, and absolutely no pressure. We celebrate progress at your own pace.
Hi, I'm Claire,
I specialise in helping both older and younger adults adults reclaim their independence and vitality through gentle, functional movement. If the thought of stepping into a gym makes you want to turn around and run, you are in exactly the right place.
I’m a fully certified L3 Personal Trainer and Pilates instructor, with as additional L3 Exercise Referral Instructor qualification, but more importantly: I’m a human being who believes movement should feel good, not like a punishment! I promise there will be no drill-sergeant shouting, no mirrors to stare at, and absolutely no judgment. We move at your pace, we celebrate the small wins, and yes—we definitely share a good laugh along the way.
My absolute passion is helping people reclaim their bodies. Whether you are dealing with stubborn joint pain, managing a long-term health condition, or simply haven’t exercised since the nineties, I’m here to make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and completely capable.
Qualifications Checklist: To give you complete peace of mind, I’ve intentionally focused my qualifications on safety, joint care, and individual health histories:
- Level 3 Personal Trainer (Specialising in functional strength for real, everyday life, including healthy eating guidance to fuel your energy)
- Level 3 Exercise Referral Specialist (Advanced training to tailor movement around long-term health conditions)
- Level 3 Mat Pilates Instructor (Focusing on core stability, better balance, and joint mobility)
- Level 3 Pre & Post Natal Exercise (Expert guidance to keep mothers moving safely and comfortably at every stage)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I haven't exercised in years. Can I do this?
A: Absolutely. In fact, most of my clients start exactly where you are. We begin with basic, foundational movements that match your current comfort level.
Q: What if I have a specific condition like bad knees or sciatica?
A: I specialise in modifying exercises around your aches and pains. We review your medical history before your very first session to keep you completely safe, and we work collaboratively to make sure you feel confident with your programme before we even start.
Q: What happens after I join the waitlist?
A: As soon as a personal training slot or small group class opens up, you will be the first person we contact.
