Claire’s Classes

I went on Claire’s retreat in Wales and it far exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well structured with a variety of Yoga and Pilates classes, which were all fantastic. The venue was lovely and the food outstanding. Claire is a great teacher and host and made sure that everyone's needs were attended to. I will definitely be attending again! More...

It was great to meet you and I hope to welcome you again soon xxx

I started Claire's pilates class at the beginning of January (two a week). I haven't done pilates for a couple of decades but the classes cater for different abilities. Each class is well thoughtout, different equipment is used and everyone is welcoming. More...

Claire Hunt is immensely knowledgeable and passes this on throughout her classes. The class focuses on low impact muscle exertions and utilises a variety of pilates equipment. Claire's instruction is clear and exacting for you to get the most out of each session whatever your capability, The classes, especially the stretching element have helped enormously with my back pain.
I therefore highly recommend Claire Hunt to all ages and abilities More...

I love going to Claire's classes. I would recommend going to them to anyone! Claire is a positive, encouraging and lovely yoga teacher.

I never ever know what my energy levels are going to be from one day to the next. Menopause is a curious beast, one day I've got so much energy I can hardly sleep, the next I am exhausted and can't keep my eyes open, so to help me have some kind of sleep routine I attend Claires Classes, specifically YOGA flow, every week. It's like my reset button, I feel relaxed and energised all at the same time and gives me peace of mind that I know I will sleep well on a Tuesday night.And the cherry on the top for me is Claire is a FAB yoga instructor.Fully recommend for any beginners (that was me 3 years ago) to expert downward doggers.🧘‍♀️🦮 More...

Feeling rested, refreshed and ready to take on the week after Claire’s Grecian Gateway trip to Palairos.Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Foodpath retreat, where we ate delicious traditional Greek food, explored the seaside town and dived into the crystalline waters of the sea during our catamaran trip across the Greek islands. Most importantly, we fell into deep relaxation following Claire’s classes, which accommodated each of our own capabilities and skill levels. Personally, I loved her most creative sessions that involved a fusion of yoga and Pilates, which she guided us through on the summer solstice. Although in saying that, I much appreciated her restorative yoga, yoga nidra and guided meditation sessions in the evenings to support our restful nights during the heat.Overall, I welcomed and appreciated Claire’s expertise and guided programme of classes throughout the week, which proved to have clicked the reset button on my usual anxious mind.10/10 Claire - can’t wait for your next one!!

Claire's classes are fantastic! I'm doing both pilates and yoga with her. Claire is a brilliant teacher - she makes sure that everyone's needs are attended to and offers alternatives to various exercises to make them easier or more challenging. Thank you, Claire!

Absolutely loved Garden Pilates with Claire last year. She lives in a picturesque and peaceful location which was perfect. Fantastic session in the sunshine/outdoors, a fun quiz and incredibly tasty treats and tea. A really perfect Saturday chill out :) bring on this years! More...

Can't wait to host you again x

I had been attending Claire's pilates classes for just over a year when I fell pregnant. Having known Claire had prenatal and postnatal qualifications in fitness I was keen to continue with my pilates journey. Claire is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, explaining how each move or exercise will help with pregnancy and even labour! As my pregnancy develops, Claire has adapted the exercises to ensure I get full benefit and that both baby and myself are safe. The use of different equipment makes each week fresh and interesting. I would absolutely recommend Claire to any expectant or new mum. I know I will be continuing with my pilates journey with Claire's help after the arrival of my baby. More...

Aww thanks Sarah, I can't wait together your new bundle of joy x

I started pre-natal Pilates with Claire once in my second trimester of pregnancy, and have absolutely loved her class each week. Throughout my pregnancy I have had various aches and pains and Pilates has been brilliant in helping relieve these, and in building up my core and pelvic floor strength. I really love the use of different apparatus and each week feels fresh and interesting. Claire is extremely knowledgable in explaining the exercises she chooses and why they are particularly useful for expectant mothers. She has also adapted the exercises we do to suit the stage of pregnancy we are at, so it feels very safe and supported. Her relaxed and calm manner and the atmosphere she creates in the classes are a weekly moment of peace and serenity that I really treasure! I’m very much looking forward to starting her post-natal practice and continuing my Pilates journey with Claire. More...

Thank you Vicky 😊 🙏

I have been attending PT sessions with Claire for around a month since 29/01/2024 (attending just over 10 sessions together) and I can honestly say these sessions have been a game changer for me!

I can say I am definitely noticing a difference not only physically but mentally too.

Claire has vast knowledge regarding exercises to work specific areas of the body and furthermore, importantly advises and supports with perfecting your form, which for me has been a struggle in the past.

Claire really gets to know you, as an individual and greeted with such a warm welcome each time and I can always say I feel thoroughly supported in each session and come aware feeling positive and motivated in my fitness journey. Most importantly, Claire makes exercising fun and enjoyable with her brilliant sense of humour!

These sessions have really helped my self-confidence and generally increasing my positive self-talk. I have further learnt how to fuel my body properly with the right foods and nutrition.

I have really noticed such a positive impact that these sessions have had physically and mentally and would highly recommend Claire 💪🏻 More...

We’re only 3 sessions in to our programme but so far I have been impressed with Claire’s professional knowledge and experience, together with her enthusiasm. I’ve noticed a difference already and am glad that I have employed Claire. More...

I started Pilates with Claire over 2 years ago because of severe pain in my hip and lack of mobility. After a few months I noticed less pain and increasing strength. Now, after two years I have no pain at all on my hip and my strength and mobility has significantly improved. I now attend all of Claire's Classes that I can get to so do Pilates, Boot Camp and aerobics. For someone who hates to exercise and usually gives up after a few months, this has been a revelation. To go to class where there is so much friendship and laughter but you are making constant progress is brilliant. I can't recommend Claires classes highly enough!! More...

I recently attended one of Claire’s wellness evenings. It was a fantastic evening, packed with spiritual healing and gentle exercise. Claire is a wonderful woman who ensures that every single retreat, personal training session or class she runs is specifically tailored to the audience. I have also been seeing Claire for personal training sessions and look forward to joining her French retreat next year! More...

I've been attending Hit and Abs twice a week to get me fit! In a few weeks I've gone from no abs to using my abs and the difference in me is amazing. Claire coaches you and chooses specific excercisrs, pace and form to suit your individual needs. Claire is a positive thinker, she is strong and wise and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is Mrs Motivator! More...

I had a magical time on Claire’s April retreat. Whilst the venue and food were wonderful, it is Claire who made the retreat so special. She is such a caring and authentic teacher who created an inclusive, fun and safe space for us all to relax, recharge, share, and emerge afterwards feeling inspired and stronger in body and spirit. I am so looking forward to the next retreat. More...

Claire is fantastic!! I have been working with her for 3 years now. I started with PT classes, then COVID hit yet she persevered and adapted her teaching methods due to circumstances. I then had a major operation yet I reached out and she knew exactly what I needed and listened to how I was feeling and did everything to accommodate my recovery. She has changed my life for the better … everything I think I can’t do I can … because of her belief in me, because she pushes me and because of how amazing she is. I joined her first Pilates retreat in Wales and it was incredible, the group was a great mix, the classes were brill, despite being vegan all weekend I was pleasantly surprised and have continued some of the eating habits. I can’t wait until next years retreat and love working with her to achieve my goals … well-being, fitness, care for self and life style changes.
Thank you Claire … I feel blessed you continue to be present in my life x More...

Claire’s aerobic classes are always fun, varied and challenging. After every class, I feel the benefit of having been and look forward to the next one!

Claire is a fantastic to work with! always super focused on getting the best results.

Thanks Eve I appreciate your comments.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending many of Claire’s classes, including corporate pilates, Fit treats, PT and Cardio Burn. I always enjoy a workout with Claire . She pushes you hard, whilst ensuring that you use correct form and posture and always has great music to compliment the workout. Claire is very friendly and makes you feel very welcome. I always feel uplifted and energised after a class with Claire (even after I’ve fallen asleep during yoga nidra 😆). Highly recommend and will definitely be back for more! More...

Personal training and pilates with Claire has completely changed how I feel about my body.
I’ve gained both in strength and confidence since training with Claire and know that she’s focused on me - ensuring that I’m training at a level that’s right for me, but is also challenging me to achieve more that I think I can.
I look forward to each session and afterwards always feel energised and motivated to continue.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire to anyone who wants to invest in their physical and mental fitness - she’s brilliant ! More...

Fit Treat | Oct ‘22
And what a treat it was! Claire and the team ensured we all had a fabulous day from beginning to end. I can't say I wasn't a bit apprehensive about attending, whether my abilities would suit the exercises but Claire made sure no-one would feel like this and there were adaptations for each exercise . Food was outstanding as was the wonderful experience of meeting new people. So highly recommended and will be there for the next one. More...

This is my first experience of a PT coming to my home. Claire has already made a big difference to my life. She is friendly, never patronising and encourages me every step of the way - literally! ! My confidence is improving and I would definitely recommend her to anyone ‘of a certain age’ who needs a bit of help with strength and fitness. More...

Thank you Sue, you are a joy to work with.

I did the 6 week Trim & Burn course with Claire. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their fitness and tone up. After six weeks I feel so much better and have visible results. I also feel much more confident in what I can do and what I can achieve in the future. Doing 2 sessions a week was a really great way to keep the momentum up and start a new good habit. Claire is amazing. She knows when to push you to achieve a new goal but also when to modify things if you aren't feeling so great. I started by being able to do a plank for about 20 seconds and on my last session I could do it for 1 minute. I genuinely looked forward to all my sessions and had a good laugh. More...

You were amazing, you showed up every week, you listened and you persevered. Don't ever give up. Well done Carina xxx

Over the last 6 years I’ve struggled to find a competent Pilates teacher in the Oxford area. I tried Claire’s Thursday evening class Autumn 2021, and became a regular ever since. Class sizes are small which means Claire can really focus on individuals needs. Claire knows how to push you enough so that each session you can see progress in your own abilities. Classes are friendly, fun and significantly contributes to improved mental health. More...

Sarah, you're a superstar and don’t let anything hold you back. Your progress has been remarkable, but we know what practice makes......ha ha ha.

I did the 6-week trim and burn programme with Claire and it was just the boost I needed to get back into enjoying exercise and seeing the effects after 3 kids and no motivation for a few years. I was looking to lose weight and get stronger and feel fitter and the programme did all of these. Claire is so supportive and it’s easy to see she genuinely cares that you get to your end goal. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Claire has changed my life for the better. I wasn’t expecting to feel so much more energetic and genuinely look forward to each session so much. I cannot recommend enough. I have now finished my 6 week face to face sessions but continued to have a programme provided by Claire for me to carry on at home as I loved it so much. My measurements are literally getting smaller by the week but more importantly I feel so much better in myself. Thank you so much Claire. X More...

You're amazing Abi and I'm so glad we met. Well done for all your perseverance, you deserve all the results.

I do Pilates with Claire Hunt on a Tuesday evening and being a woman in my late 50s and not so flexible and carrying extra pounds, I have found Claire to be a totally brilliant instructor. She is supportive and encouraging, giving me tips and pointers all the time to help me. She has an amazing sense of humour making her classes a complete joy.

I didn’t think Pilates was for me but Claire has made me love it and I know I am improving. Just thank you Claire 😊 More...

I started pilates in order to strengthen my lower back and work on my core stability. Claire has been an incredible teacher.

Definitely the highlight of my week and would highly recommend. More...

SmartPilates provided an excellent well-being and stress management approach to bringing a team through a restructure. Corporate well-being objectives were exceeded and the team benefited from a combination of exercise, meditation and relaxation planning and expertise over a 12 week period. No absence or sickness was reported over the well-being period. Would highly recommend Claire, an engaging practitioner who always goes an additional mile to meet or exceed corporate expectations.

I really enjoy working with Claire. I’m not looking to do anything crazy or train for a particular event, just general fitness and well-being and Claire understands that. She pushes me so that I’m always making progress but in a way that is encouraging and motivating. I also attend Claire’s Pilates class which I really enjoy.
Training with Claire has boosted my confidence, improved my mental health and is a total giggle at times! Totally recommend her. More...

Very popular experienced and motivational personal trainer. Being new to PT, I was fortunate enough to secure slots with Claire who took time to understand my goals and talk in depth with me about diet and areas to focus for my fitness and strength. Claire is always thoughtful about every session and has gone the extra mile with me since I have started working with her. My bad days have been turned into good days. I was lucky to find Claire, she is in demand so I recommend you get in touch ASAP. It will be worth it. More...
