“Clare's classes via the on-demand tape option have been life changing for me, both mentally and physically – and I never thought I'd say that about anything...”

Class participant

“Your classes are soo good. I've been doing them for exactly a year now and have gained strength and lost half a stone in the process.

All my years at Riverview and I never stuck with a weekly exercise class. In the summer I was easily doing 2-3 of your classes per week!”

Class participant

"I have so enjoyed all your classes this year and am definitely feeling the benefits. I actually fell down concrete steps in June, landing on my back. I thought I'd done serious damage, and am convinced that it was your conditioning and strengthening classes that saved me.

”After Christmas I got two 8kg dumbbells and I'm beginning to be able to use them! My left wrist is definitely getting stronger and more flexible and I think it is your classes enabling that. I also discovered my inner thigh muscles this week! Ha ha!”

Fiona, Class participant

”I set goals to keep training over the winter and am currently doing 3-4 taped sessions a week. I do laugh when you are using a 14kg weight and I'm using 2kg. But having started out with 1, 2 and 3kg, I'm excited to have just bought a 4, 5 and 6kg set.

Lifting a 25kg sack of coal is definitely easier these days – tangible progress!”

“I'm a nurse/midwife in my 40s and thanks to your classes I finally realise the importance of strength training. A  patient recommended you to me – now I recommend you to loads of patients.”

Aideen, Class participant

“Thanks for the fantastic classes in 2023 – I'm definitely fitter and stronger as a result. I love the variety and the challenges and can tell that my core and back strength have improved massively. I'll be relying on your recorded classes to keep me fit and sane over the Christmas season and am looking forward to 2024!"

“Thank you so much Clare for keeping me fit this year, especially as I struggled to get back to my old self after wrist surgery. I'd welcome getting a few recordings over the holidays to help me keep up my momentum.”

“After my first baby I was keen to start exercising again. I wanted to do it carefully to ensure I was rebuilding my core and strength appropriately and worked with Clare for the first six months. She was excellent and took great care to program appropriate workouts for me as a post-partum mum.

It was fantastic to be able to bring my baby with me to work out and Clare kept him well entertained if needed! I'd highly recommend Clare to any post-partum mum looking to get back to training!”

“My passion is running, which I've enjoyed for fifteen years. However, as I approached 50 I noticed that I was suffering more injuries, and that my times were getting slower. I felt really down about it and a friend suggested I talk to Clare. This was a revelation. She explained that as we age we lose muscle mass and that this was impacting my running.

Six months of resistance training with Clare and I feel as fit as I have ever been. I love her sessions, remarkable for someone who hates the gym. I'm now posting times that I was doing years ago and, most importantly, without injury.”

“I was frustrated with what I now realise was a lack of knowledge. Clare provided solutions to suit me and my pace. She is kind and encouraging, especially when I've a bad week. Clare provided easy life-changing tips and advice. She transformed my diet so I feel satisfied after meals.

When a food or meal didn’t suit, Clare adjusted it with ease and never showed frustration with my limited palate. I’m confident Clare has given me the tools to make the correct decisions regarding my diet. I recently turned 50 and now feel like I did in my mid-20s – with renewed energy for exercise, the kids and life in general.

“It's just over a year since I started your classes. It's flown by! All I can say is your workouts have made the most enormous difference – they are very confidence-boosting, both physically and mentally. I do 2-3 classes each week.”
