Claire was your average gym goer throughout the majority of her twenties. She enjoyed exercise and joined various classes but never saw any results at all.

Once Claire’s daughters, Anna and Natasha, arrived, her mindset changed and she was determined to get in shape for them. She got more and more into weight training and realised this was where the results happened. When Claire discovered Functional Fitness in 2015, there was no looking back. It ticked all the boxes: fitness, strength and the challenge to constantly develop new skills. In 2017, Claire gained her CF-L1 qualification and Gym instructing and PT Levels 2 and 3 and coaches several classes a week at Beyond Fitness and enjoys competing at such events as The Castle Games, The Rainhill Trials and Forged Compete. Her favourites are definitely Cleans and ‘grunt work’!

Claire is particularly passionate about welcoming all abilities into the gym and witnessing the transformation. This desire to help all capabilities and fitness levels is what has driven Claire to continue her studies and is qualified in:

Pre and Post Natal

Exercise Referral

Sports Massage

Mental Health First Aid

When not at Beyond Fitness, Claire can be found teaching swimming to children, out in the hills with the pugs or in the sea with her daughters, Anna and Natasha.
