Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Claire, a Pre & Postnatal exercise specialist, a certified Level 2 fitness instructor and an England Athletics run coach. I am also a mum of two girls ands a very keen marathon runner having completed 16 to date in the UK, USA and Europe.
CORE Foundations includes classes 'Mummy & Me', 'Runners Reform', and 'Stroller Striders'.
Mummy & Me focuses on structured postnatal recovery; building strength as well as encouraging those precious first bonds between you and your little one. My mission is to help mums move with confidence, offering professional guidance in a warm, welcoming space where recovery and connection go hand in hand.
Runners Reform is a fitness class designed specifically for runners to build lower body and core strength to improve endurance, speed and most importantly, reduce injury!
Stroller Striders is a monthly, community-based, family focussed, free event for parents to come along to with their little ones of any age and enjoy a walk or jog followed by some fun strengthening exercises.

"Stroller Striders has massively helped me get back into running postnatally. Most weeks, that was my only time to get out for a run, but even better, I could bring my baby too! She loved it!!
Claire is so warm and friendly and able to adapt her sessions for all abilities. Some weeks I would walk/jog and that was fine too! It really gave me confidence getting back to exercise.
Highly recommend the sessions and great way to meet local mums too!"

She is supportive and happy to provide constructive advice.
