About Claire

Hidden in Lavant’s stunning countryside,

Claire Rees discovered her passion for Pilates at the age of 17 when she attended evening classes at her school out of curiosity. This encounter ignited a lifelong love affair with Pilates, leading her to seek out classes wherever she went. In 2014, while working at John Lewis and contemplating a career in naturopathic medicine, Claire stumbled upon an opportunity to train as a Pilates instructor. Seizing the chance to make extra income, she embarked on the training, unaware that it would become the best decision of her life.

Pilates has since become Claire's steadfast companion, keeping her physically strong and inspiring her through the supportive community it fosters. Today, Claire's mission is to share the transformative power of Pilates with others at every stage of life. She believes in the profound healing potential of movement, echoing Joseph Pilates' words, "movement heals." Claire is dedicated to helping people reconnect with their bodies both physically and spiritually, enabling them to achieve feats they once deemed impossible. For Claire, the joy lies in witnessing the positive impact of Pilates, from reducing reliance on pain medication and antidepressants to empowering individuals to unlock their full potential.
