Pilates is a great whole body, low intensity workout, that is superb for the mind as well.

Don’t just take my word for it here’s what clients say:
“I cannot tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy your classes. I cannot do everything / every exercise but I feel much invigorated after every class and also feel my upper body strength improving.
Sarah Gurr”
“I signed up with Claire as I needed help, I couldn’t get motivated nor stick to a diet for more than a few days. I found that I could stick with the healthy eating and have seen the benefits – I lost 2 dress sizes and I can’t begin to describe just how good I feel now. I’m actually continuing to lose weight as I now know how to do it and not put it back on again.

“I can honestly say the hour I spend in Claire’s class is my favourite hour of the week. It’s exactly what I was looking for, challenging work in a relaxed environment. The class is incredibly welcoming, if you’re hesistating because you’ll feel out of place, then don’t. There’s a range of experience, ages & sizes and Claire expertly caters for everyone. Would I recommend? Put it this way, I tried one class & block booked the next 6 weeks when I got home !!

“Deciding to work with Claire was an easy choice. I knew Claire was motivated to qualify as a PT and a nutrition coach because of a genuine desire to help other people to achieve their goals using her own journey as an example.
After only a few coaching calls I knew I had made the right choice; I looked forward to our weekly calls which were always supportive and focused, always pitched at the correct level to motivate me to work hard and improve my food choices, adjust my ‘dieting’ ideas and my fitness week by week.
I could definitely notice a difference in my body shape and fitness levels even though I am a life long fitness fanatic. I would recommend Claire to anyone.

“Yesterday I went back for my second class at Pilates with Claire. Once again it was really enjoyable!
Claire gave great instruction and demonstration…and encouragement…asking us to do what we could within our own limitations..AND to keep going and do our best! We used a Pilates ring this time and did a workout with upper limbs, lower limbs with core engagement throughout. Today I know I’ve done a workout and I’m looking forward to the next week’s class.
Thank you Claire !

“Claire lifted me out of a rut with encouragement and direction. I really liked the coaching calls and that the workouts were made for me and varied. I could have never done this on my own. I didn’t really realise the benefits until the tape measure came out and saw the cms coming off.
Highly recommend
Caroline”
“Pilates with Claire is great fun and it tests muscles that you forgot you had. Claire is very attentive to her class keeping an eye on each individual, she encourages each individual to work within their limits and that it’s not a competition.
I can highly recommend it, it gives you a feel good factor.
Thanks Claire

“Loved todays class, felt like a real step-change for me & a bit of a first in terms of feeling much stronger around the psoas/hip + core in a way I wouldn’t have thought possible this time last year that’s for sure, so thank you – you’re a great teacher.
Carina Palin”
“Had my first session this week with Claire and am looking forward to next week already. Good communication in booking session, venue handy and well suited space.
Claire is attentive and checked everyone was ok as we worked though a well planned set of exercises. So I’ll be back …And I hate exercise..
Rachel Robinson”
“I joined the Pilates @Twin Tigers today and loved it! It’s relaxing as well as being a little challenging, which is great. I’m booking in for next week right now. Thanks Claire.

” I always enjoy the class. It’s an absolute highlight of my week.
Alison Wood”
“I’ve just gone into the system to book and the spaces have already gone!! Your classes are getting very popular, which is great and I’m not surprised as they are so good. I’ve joined the waiting list for the ones I can attend so fingers crossed space comes up.
Tracey Wills Cromwell”
“I absolutely loved the class last night and came away buzzing! I really felt that I was having a proper work out, particularly my stomach muscles which is what I wanted the most. Can’t wait for next week!
Sarah Mckenna”
“I started Claire’s Pilates class last September, I was having problems with my lower back. It has been one of the best things i have done for ages. It has helped me physically. Claire’s classes are friendly and not competitive she is very enthusiastic and positive and i look forward to going.

“With a busy and stressful full time job where I often have to attend calls late into the evenings, committing to more than one class a week was just proving to be impossible. I love Pilates and Claire’s class is my favourite hour of the week – I wanted more but couldn’t find the time to fit another class in. I was trying things out at home using online videos but I had no confidence I was doing things correctly which meant I was being a bit non committal about the whole thing.
Then the ladies club launched and it honestly is the perfect solution for me. I have Claire on hand for a workout whenever I can fit it into my schedule!
The videos really keep me interested. They challenge me like a class does and have levels so I can go at my own pace. I love the range of durations and the focus on different areas of the body and mix of equipment. It keeps things interesting and makes it so easy to mix and match them to put together something that works for however much time I have available and for whatever mood I’m in.
I look forward to the new videos and find myself dipping in and out of the recipes and articles Claire posts wherever I am if I have a couple of spare minutes. I’ve tried a few of the recipes out – the chilli is delicious and I’m loving the tomato soup for my lunch right now. They’re super easy recipes and really tasty.
Claire keeps it very real and I love the way I feel encouraged in the most natural healthy way, with both the exercise and nutritional advice. It’s like having a friend sharing information with you on a regular basis. No pressure. Exercise a little, challenge yourself, do what you can do, build it up, eat healthily and see yourself progress.

“I have been coming to Claire’s Tuesday morning Pilates class for about 8 months and I absolutely love it. It’s a great workout, you can go at your own level but Claire will always encourage you to try and step it up. Every week is varied and different using all sorts of equipment. I feel great and energised after the class and it sets me up for the day. Give it a go!
Janet Batchelor”
“I joined Claire’s online ladies club so I could be flexible about when to exercise. Which is great, as you can do some Pilates to fit in round your week. There are lots of great videos to choose from in the club…..so no chance of getting bored!….and with great instructions and demonstrations by Claire as always! I was also impressed by all the great information that Claire had put up re general health, exercise, skincare, sleep,hormones,bloating,
What a bonus! – great value- and all in one place!I haven’t missed reading a single thing! I’m really enjoying it! It made me realise how lazy I had become in terms of cooking for myself as a single person. I now eat more healthily making sure I eat more vegetables and cook from scratch, trying to avoid all those processed foods. So I’m trying to address things that I’ve let slide- thanks to Claire’s little gems of info!
Thankyou Claire!
