About Claire
Hi, I'm Claire, the trainer behind Illuminate Fitness.
I work with women who want to feel fitter, get stronger and have more confidence in what their bodies can do, but don't necessarily want exercise to take over their lives.
My approach is a little different. I love finding creative ways to build strength, develop new skills and make exercise genuinely enjoyable. There's plenty of variety, a good dose of humour and, most importantly, coaching that adapts to you.
I'm not here to give you a complete body overhaul or turn you into someone who lives for the gym.
I'm here to help you discover what you're capable of, find movement you actually enjoy and build the confidence to keep doing it.
Whether we're working together in person or online, you'll get knowledgeable guidance, encouragement and the occasional push when you need it.
Because the aim isn't to change who you are. It's to help you feel good being you.

- You want to be challenged, without feeling like you have to prove yourself every session.
- You're more interested in what your body can do than what it looks like.
- You want a trainer who knows her stuff, understands that life happens and doesn't take her
Not for me
- You're after a dramatic body transformation in six weeks.
- You want someone to weigh you, measure you or tell you what you should and shouldn't eat.
- You believe a workout only counts if you finish it crawling out of the gym.
- You're looking for a rigid training plan that doesn't allow for life getting in the way.
- You think exercise has to be miserable to be effective.
- You want a trainer who'll shout at you, make you feel guilty or tell you off for having a
