About Claire

A personal trainer who meets you where you are

I'm Claire, a personal trainer, group exercise instructor and aqua instructor who also teaches HIIT. I believe fitness should feel welcoming, not intimidating. I know what it's like to feel nervous walking into a class, to lose the spark for exercise, and to wonder if change is really possible.

My coaching is built around real life: building confidence, strength and healthy habits at a pace that works for you. Whether you're returning after years away, navigating midlife changes, or looking for someone who understands autism, epilepsy and neurodivergent needs, you're welcome here.

Sessions are supportive and fun, but I'll still push you (gently) out of your comfort zone. That's where the good stuff happens.

My Story

From nervous first steps to helping others take theirs

I'm living proof that with the right support, guidance and mindset, you can change your life.

2010

A turning point

After a personal loss, life shifted. Exercise and community weren’t on the radar yet, but the seeds of change were waiting.

2014

Finding community

My son wanted to try Shentie, a martial arts class. Truth be known, while I was wandering the facilities, I got dragged into an LBT class (legs, bums and tums) and from there it all began. It made me realise how important it is to feel fit, feel good, and have somewhere that feels like an escape and a community.

2017

First class as an instructor

I trained and qualified as a group exercise instructor in September. My first class, I was so nervous I wanted to go home. Michelle, my mentor and a Beachbody Master Trainer, pushed me to stay. She taught me so much about belief and leadership.

2017-2022

Mum first

I stepped back from instructing. I didn’t fully believe in myself yet, and it wasn’t the right time. I was raising three sons. My eldest and youngest are autistic. My youngest also has ADHD. My eldest also has epilepsy. Along the way I learned PECS, Makaton and sign language to support communication.

Aqua years

Back to movement

After a little time out, I spent four years teaching aqua, rediscovering how joyful movement can be in a supportive environment.

2025

Personal Trainer & beyond

I completed my PT course in September 2025 (with a big thanks to Jason, my PT at the time, who helped me through the video assessments). Straight after, I trained in Level 4 Nutrition, Women’s Wellbeing & Menopause, and GP Referral, ready to support people with even more depth and care.

The journey

Transformation is possible

Over five years I lost 5½ stone, not overnight, and not alone. It took community, consistency, and learning to believe in myself again. That experience shapes how I coach every client.

Who I help

Built for real life, not perfection

Fitness should feel like belonging. My door is open to anyone who wants to feel stronger and more confident, especially if the gym has felt overwhelming before.

A warm, non-judgemental space

Supporting all ages, abilities and fitness levels. You don’t need to be “ready”; you just need to start.

Menopause support

Specialist menopause training, with sessions that can honour how your body actually feels day to day.

Neurodivergent-aware coaching

As a mum of neurodivergent children, and with experience in communication tools including PECS and Makaton, I create calm, clear, flexible sessions that work with how you process the world.

For men, women and couples

I work with men and women equally, including husbands and wives who want to train as a couple. If you want support, encouragement and real results, there’s a place for you here.

Client words

Claire training in the gym

“Claire makes every session fun, but don’t let that fool you: she’ll definitely push you out of your comfort zone.”

After being out of the gym for 10 years, I’d completely lost my confidence. Seeing Claire’s own journey gave me the push I needed to ask her to be my PT.

I’m slowly getting my confidence back, getting stronger, and starting to feel like myself again. If you’re thinking about it but keep putting it off, just do it. You won’t regret it.

Caroline Louise

Personal training client

“She genuinely cares, celebrates your progress, and gives you the confidence to achieve things you never thought possible.”

Claire’s been brilliant from day one. She pushes you beyond what you think you can do, but every session is varied, fun and tailored to us. She checks our technique, listens to any aches or goals, and adapts every workout accordingly. Training as a couple has made such a difference too. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.
