I really enjoy my weekly session with Claire and I always leave feeling more motivated than ever for my other sessions.
Claire is supportive both in and out of my weekly session. Regularly checking in and providing support where required. I really enjoy being coached by Claire as I feel I could contact her any day about my coaching, not just my 1 hour in person session.
It’s worth every penny because my plan is completely tailored to me and my goals. When I expressed to Claire my keen desire to get back into my running, within a couple of days she had written up a plan for me and gave me that push to get back out there!
I feel like Claire really wants her clients to succeed in the long term and make real life changes.
The knowledge Claire has to apply to you individually whether it be for fitness goals, nutrition goals or lifestyle changes is ace!
For me the biggest thing has been learning not to be so hard on myself. Learning that it's ok to not be where I used to be but making progress slowly and being consistent has been a huge mindset shift.
I would definitely recommend Claire as a coach for people who want to change their lifestyle as a whole and that aren't just looking for a quick fix.

TESTIMONIALS
I'm back running & training in the gym consistently and I've had a huge mindset shift around food and body image, which I never thought would happen.
After following Claire on social media for around a year I had seen snippets of Claire's approach to training clients and thought this is exactly what I need! Having been out of the swing of it for almost two years, Claire's friendly approach in a private environment was what appealed to me most!
I was looking to gain some confidence back in myself and my body and improve my relationship with food. I can already feel big changes within myself. I am back running & training in the gym consistently and have had a huge mindset shift around food and body image, which I never thought would happen.
The environment is perfect for anyone who has been out of it for a wee while.
​
Claire makes you feel at ease and gives you the confidence to perform lifts you've maybe never done or haven't done in a while.
​
She's a really good motivator throughout all sessions and likes to push you out of your comfort zone by throwing in that extra couple of reps right at the end, which is a great confidence boost as I would never do that myself!

Before, I would always be the joker, making people laugh and not taking anything seriously. I also wasn’t admitting to myself (or anyone else) that I was a size 16 and a lot over 15 stone. I kept smaller sized clothes for years in the hope that I would fit in to them one day.
Claire made up a training plan for me to workout at home as I have depression and anxiety and some days I struggle to leave the house. She also made a plan for the days I managed to go to the gym. To say I was pushed to the limit was an understatement, she had my legs going faster than Mo Farah! I stuck to the training and loved it, especially the strength training but also that I could continue improving my running. She checks in with you and makes adjustments if needed, this made me feel accountable for every training session planned.
​
I really like how Claire explains and demonstrates everything and I love the buzz I get after a training session with her - she really gets into your head and believes you can do things no matter how out of reach they seem to be.
The results? Well, I’ve lost weight, got in shape, have definition, feel healthier and I feel strong... really, really strong! In the beginning I was running 2 minutes and walking 2 minutes and now I can run 10KM’s and half marathons. Those clothes I had been holding on to are now in the bin as they are too big for me.
If Claire says you can, believe her, you can. She won’t let you give up.”

Claire’s approach to training and nutrition is a global approach and takes into account every individual. She digs in to what is blocking you from achieving your goals and helps to find ways around it.

I’ve been following Claire for a number of years on social media. Her advice on health, fitness and the struggles we all face have always really resonated with me.
Claire’s approach to training and nutrition is a global approach and takes into account every individual. She digs in to what is blocking you from achieving your goals and helps to find ways around it.
I was struggling with having lost fitness and strength and gaining weight as a result of difficult pregnancies and finally decided to train with Claire online.
She is a tremendous support. She is dedicated and creative in her individualised approach. With me, given where I am, we are starting small and building in good habits making progress with overall lifestyle and health goals.
I’m so pleased I started this journey with Claire and I would recommend her to literally anyone. She will look at you as an individual and figure out a way to get you back on track with achieving your goals.

Starting with Claire was the best decision. I’ve gone from having no strength at all and basically falling over, to being able to stand on one leg.
​
Starting with Claire was the best decision I have ever made since having my children. I started 6 months after having my third child and embarked on an incredible journey. From having no strength at all and basically falling over to being able to stand on one leg. it sounds crazy but it has had a huge impact on my body and life - all for the better.
Now Claire is championing me through my fourth pregnancy and is so much more than a personal trainer.
Claire not only wants the best for your body but she wants the best for your mind too. If every pregnant or post-natal woman had access to Claire the world would be a better place.
Her gym is certainly my happy place and has become a sanctuary in my week.
And don’t worry about falling over or not looking like a “gym bunny” … Claire does everything at your pace whilst being your biggest cheerleader (without the pom poms)... and she falls over too!

What a change I've had, I’m fitter than I have ever been. If it wasn’t for Claire I wouldn’t have contemplated, never mind completed, the London Marathon.
I turned 40 last year and have an active 5 year old. When she was learning to ride her bike and I was running to keep up with her out of breath something had to change.
What a change I've had, I'm never going to be a size 10 but what Claire has done is make me fitter than I have ever been. Yes she works you hard but the benefits are unbelievable - I can do a proper push up, two cardio classes back to back and enjoy exercising.
Claire has given me the belief that I can push myself to achieve what I never thought was possible.
If it wasn’t for Claire I won’t have contemplated never mind complete the London Marathon, she goes the extra mile and when you don’t think you can there is always the text of encouragement and the high 5 and the at the end of it.

Thank you!
Being a runner before and during pregnancy I wanted to make sure I was returning to exercise in the safest way.
​
I started training with Claire after having my daughter in 2020. Being a runner before and during pregnancy I wanted to make sure I was returning to exercise in the safest way and as a pre/post natal trainer and a runner herself, Claire was the perfect choice. She helped me build back strength in a controlled way whilst also challenging me when she knew I was capable, even if I didn't!
Now as a working mum, I look forward to the hour of my week spent training in the gym, it's an hour to spend working on myself and I always leave grateful and pleased with what I've achieved in the session.
​
Claire is a very supportive coach. She's encouraging, promotes exercise and nutrition in a healthy way and is generally a lovely person to work with.

Claire was able to give me the confidence and encouragement to train that bit harder than I might have on my own in the gym. This was especially true when it came to lifting heavier weights, which is a bit out of my comfort zone.
​
I’d worked with an online strength and conditioning coach before, but never on a one-to-one basis. I was fortunate to experience both the in-person sessions and online with Claire. Claire was extremely accommodating from the start and was able to be flexible with how we approached my training. We discussed what my goals were and she was able to put a plan in place. She also shares a wealth of nutrition information, which was very interesting and useful.
​
Claire made me feel very comfortable and at ease whilst training in her gym. Claire was able to give me the confidence and encouragement to train that bit harder than I might have on my own in the gym. This was especially true when it came to lifting heavier weights, which is a bit out of my comfort zone.
Claire was also very honest in our sessions. If there was an exercise in the plan that, once observing, she didn’t feel was right for me she would make adaptions or swap it for a more suitable one. There was always an alternative! I appreciated that guidance, support and knowledge.
​
This all made moving to online training very easy. The app is simple to use, and works well. I know that getting in touch with her to share/ask anything (achievements, uncertainties, videos etc) is not a problem. In fact, it’s encouraged.
​
With the online training, I really like the way Claire gives feedback to clients weekly, with a short video message. It’s nice to see and hear her giving you encouragement & words of advice. It’s a really nice touch, that I’m sure not all online coaches would offer. I also looked forward to our monthly feedback call.
​
Claire is a warm, positive, fun and very knowledgeable coach, with lots of good chat! I’ve certainly learnt a lot from working with her. I would certainly recommend her to friends, who are looking to learn, gain confidence or simply just add a different dimension to their strength training.

I can’t fault Claire’s approach. She breaks things down in an understandable way.
​
She offers positivity and support.
She not only looking at things from a physical aspect but had me looking into mood and feelings….it made me question my approach to a lot of things.

My time training with Claire has gave me a massive shift in self belief. I’ve learned that with the right attitude and people by my side I can achieve whatever the hell I want!
Claire doesn’t shy away from asking the difficult questions which can be tough at the time but certainly deliver the biggest step changes in both mental and physical growth.
I had a very specific goal of running the Edinburgh Half Marathon and Claire exceeded expectations of support with a full training plan not just the running side but also nutritionally and mentally too.
Checking off that goal with Claire by my side cheering me on was MASSIVE for me.

Claire has helped me with my running, get strong, not only that but my self confidence has grown, I now attended other classes without any fear and anxiety and I have Claire to thank for that.
4 years ago I decided enough was enough, I barely recognised myself internally as well as externally and I suffered from severe lack of confidence.
I met Claire and she encouraged a friend and I to come along to her Metafit classes which for me was way out of my comfort zone. To say it was the best thing I have ever done is an understatement... I then started working with Claire on a 1-2-1 basis at her gym where my understanding of exercise grew and my expectations are now realistic.
Claire is one of a kind, she is inspirational, motivating and is willing you on to be the best version of yourself.
