Clare is an outstanding Pilates trainer! After completing my personal trainer courses, I wanted to explore Pilates, and thanks to Clare’s clear, encouraging instruction, I fell in love with it. Her classes are so well structured and enjoyable that even after the most exhausting day, I look forward to attending. The sessions flow seamlessly—50 minutes pass in what feels like no time—and I always feel the results the next day, discovering muscles I didn’t even know I had! Her classes are never boring; she always introduces something new, keeping every session fresh and engaging. Clare’s deep understanding of human physiology, combined with her exceptional teaching skills, makes everything feel accessible and rewarding. She creates an environment that is both welcoming and motivating. Thank you, Clare, for making every class such a positive and transformative experience!

I've been attending Clare’s Pilates classes since she first began teaching, and I can’t speak highly enough of her as an instructor. Her classes strike the perfect balance of challenge and accessibility, and I really appreciate the flexibility of being able to choose between online and in-person sessions, offered at times that work for a wide range of schedules. Each session is a well-structured, full-body workout that incorporates core strengthening, spinal articulation, mobility work, and controlled breathing. Clare ensures all the key Pilates principles—concentration, control, centering, precision, breath, and flow—are at the heart of every class. What sets Clare apart is her expert knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. She skilfully modifies and tailors exercises to suit different bodies, injuries, and levels, so you always feel supported and safe in your practice. Her classes leave you feeling lengthened, realigned, stronger, and more energised—both physically and mentally. Whether you're a beginner or have been practising for years, Clare offers a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and welcoming environment that makes it a pleasure to show up on the mat.

What you can practice at Pilates with Clare
Pilates with Clare offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat Pilates
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
