Testimonials

"Today I went out of my comfort zone and tried a personal training session for the first time. Claire made me feel at ease and I relaxed into the session straight away.
She pushed me enough for me to get a good work out, but I felt she listened when I struggled with certain exercises and gave me another alternative which is the bonus of having a one on one or a small group of people. 

All in all a great experience and one I would strongly recommend ."

Working with Claire for several months was a real delight - I only stopped because I moved away from York, otherwise I would have carried on training with her through birth, as well as post-partum.

Each session was thoroughly prepared - Claire's knowledge on anatomy, fitness, pregnancy, nutrition - they were all outstanding.

I had a lot of pleasure talking with her during our sessions - she is a wonderful person to work with, pushing me to work incredibly hard physically but always attuned to what I was capable of. I worked hard, I was pushed hard, but I always felt safe.

Some days I was reluctant to train - but as soon as Claire showed up I felt motivated again.

"I had a personal training session with Claire recently and was thoroughly impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. Her medical background meant she could describe how each exercise impacted on my body. 

Her instructions were easy to follow and she put me at ease with her detailed explanation of each exercise.

 If there was something I didn’t feel comfortable undertaking, she could offer an alternative that worked just as well.

I have a short attention span when it comes to exercise(!) but Claire kept me focussed throughout and the time flew by!

I left the session feeling energised and stronger. Result!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire if you’re looking for a committed, informative, fun trainer".

'I had a tough pregnancy from the beginning due to severe related symptoms including nausea/ vomiting, pelvic symphysis pain, allergic rhinitis which affected my breathing and anaemia which made me feel permanently exhausted. As a result I lost my confidence to undertake any exercise during pregnancy. I met Claire at the end of my third trimester, she was super friendly and instantly gave me hope. She visited me at home where we chatted at length about my previous injuries, pregnancy related issues and my fitness aims. A fitness plan was then tailored to me that fitted into my routine and the sessions were held in my house, or the garden when the weather was nice. She provided all the equipment I needed and no two sessions were the same which helped keep me engaged and motivated. She monitored my response to each exercise and if I couldn’t do it or I was lacking energy that day she scaled things back without making me feel rubbish. At the end of each session Claire always incorporated a few minutes of guided meditation which l energised but also I felt relaxed. Additionally her previous midwife background meant she was able to counsel me through any pregnancy related issues I was facing and she helped prepare me for the birth.

I had five sessions with Claire at custom fit and each one was custom-made to suit my needs. Claire’s experience and expertise in midwifery, nutrition and personal training are a winning combination.

Her holistic approach began with a (free) 60 minute assessment of body and mind: where I was then and what I was aiming to achieve. 

Each session took into consideration my body’s requirements and abilities at that particular time in my pregnancy and built on what we had achieved previously. Each session motivated me to build my core strength and suppleness in preparation for childbirth and beyond.

At first I felt it was a big financial outlay, but as the sessions progressed I realised what great value for money it was. To have such personal encouragement and attention at this precious time in my life was priceless.

I can honestly say that working with Claire for the past couple of years has been an absolute joy.  She is brilliant at motivating, advising and tailoring exercise packages that are specifically tailored to our abilities and energy levels.  She always takes into consideration our daily life and pressures and is quick to change and be flexible to our needs.  My sister and I have grown in knowledge and health thanks to her amazing heart and passion for good health.  The workouts are varied and fun and carefully planned and thought out each week.  She is punctual and efficient and encourages us to do things we did not know we could do.  We would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone.  Claire takes all the worry and angst out of exercising and convinces you it is essential for a happy life.  We tend to agree – we look forward to every session – even the ones with Bear Crawls in them!  Looking forward to many more – thank you Claire!
