What People Say.

  • I’ve attended Pilates in different venues in the Chichester area over the years and have been coming to Claire’s classes for several months now. The Studio is a lovely space and is well equipped with everything we need each class. Claire is a hugely experienced teacher and very knowledgeable about the physiology of Pilates, is also very good at advising how to do each movement depending on any health issues. She knows all her students by name which is extraordinary and their limitations. Each week she explains what area we are working on and by the end of each class you really know you’ve worked those areas! I would recommend Claire’s classes to anyone looking for really constructive, fulfilling and totally enjoyable Pilates

  • I've been seeing Claire for 10 years now for strengthening to help fibromyalgia and a bulged disc. The lesson plans she has created for me on the mat then reformer machines have been an invaluable tool to help me day to day and I wouldn't be where I am today without my classes. If you're looking to do pilates, I couldn't recommend Claire enough. Her knowledge is endless as is her compassion and patience. You are really looked after in a very calm, kind, relaxed environment.

  • The classes run by Claire are excellent. She explains everything well & suggests various levels depending on ability. The class is very professionally run in a lovely space. Booking is easy & if the class is full, there is a waiting list in case anyone drops out.

  • I have been coming to Claire's sessions since she first started on her own several years ago. Claire is vey knowledgeable about our muscles, joints and posture, our aches and pains, and all the relieving ways Pilates can help live life to the full. She is a very calm person and brings fun, laughter and a variety of activities into her sessions. For me, she brings a time of calm relaxation into the busy and active life I choose to live.
