Claire’s Classes

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...

Thanks so much, I can't wait for France!!

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...

Thank you so much Kirsty x

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...

Thanks for your kind words, you’ve worked hard but our sessions have also been the funniest!!

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...

Thank you so much Alli, I 'm glad you’ll be at the next one!! You did brilliantly 👏

SmartPToxon comes to our office once a fortnight and run Pilates classes for Infineum colleagues over lunch. Claire is lovely as the instructor and really takes the time to connect with her clients. The classes cater to all experience levels and really are a wonderful way to take a break and look after your wellbeing! More...

Thank you Alastair, I really enjoy visiting your office, such a great bunch of people.

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...

You're a joy to teach Ann

I started pilates in order to strengthen my lower back and work on my core stability. Claire has been an incredible teacher. She ensures you have a good level of challenge whilst working within your own ability. Having equipment to use within the session always adds an element of fun and keeps things exciting! Definitely the highlight of my week and would highly recommend. More...

Thanks so much Jen

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.

Thank you so much Caroline, I've really enjoyed working with your company.

I have had both personal training sessions with Claire and attend her pilates classes. She is a really good teacher, able to identify your needs and modify exercises for your needs whilst helping you to improve.
Classes are a lot of fun with a relaxed atmosphere.
I'm really pleased with the progress I have made with Claire and enjoy her sessions a lot. I really recommend her! More...

You're amazing x

I went to Claire Hunt through Bark for 1 to 1 Pilates as I didn't feel confident to join a class. Claire was very friendly and gave me the confidence boost to join a class. I have now joined Claire's class. Claire's classes are very enjoyable and effective. Claire covers all levels of Pilates within the classes. I would highly recommend Claire and thoroughly enjoy taking part in her classes. More...

Thanks so much Wendy, you're a joy to work with.

Very efficient and helpful. Would use again

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...

You were an absolute pleasure to work with, well done Cat.

Claire was honest, reliable and filled with fitness experience and knowledge. Claire made me feel at ease, but was thorough and worked me hard for someone that had little or no excerise in their daily routine. She made me feel different very quickly about myself and gave me a spark back in my life that had gone out. I would highly recommend her and her training. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More...

Pregnancy Pilates and Fitness. The pregnancy Pilates and fitness sessions carefully prepared and executed by Claire are absolutely brilliant. It is the perfect combination of core strengthening, posture correction and gentle muscle building, as well as relaxation. Claire works at my pace and progressing through the last trimester, is adapting the exercises to get the maximum benefits.

I enjoy Smart PT's workouts as they are so beneficial to works those areas much needed.













I fully recommend Smart PT as Claire gives us all great workouts that can be as tough as we like! Claire is extremely professional, especially online, keeping an eye of our postures, making sure we are all safely working out. I'm enjoying experiencing the benefits of toning up & dropping a few pounds, as well as it being interesting & fun choreography! Sign up! More...

Claire was really helpful, friendly, open & honest. VERY reasonable prices, with different payment options, as well as the option to do remote classes & workouts at home. My circumstances changed, and I wasn’t in the position to use any services, however, I will be in touch with Claire in the future. Highly recommend, thanks Claire. More...

Hannah, thank you so much for your kind words. I enjoyed working with you and wish you all the best. I look forward to working with you again.

What can I say about Claire, well, she's AMAZING! I highly recommend her, book now!
I've had 1:1 sessions with her for just over 4 months and I have thoroughly enjoyed them all, apart from the first Tabata session we did, really didn't like that but came to sort of love them!
Claire takes time at the beginning to fully understand what you want out of your sessions and is professional, friendly, patient and motivational. All sessions are different and aimed at you achieving your goals, she fully explains and demonstrates techniques to you and her beady eye doesn't miss anything, so you definitely get the most out of every session.

Having 1:1 sessions with Claire every week has been one of the best decisions I've made! Claire is just amazing!

Love working with you Rachel. You are so dedicated. I've seen such great results too.

I’ve been doing PT 1:1 with Claire for a few weeks now and she’s been great. I have a laugh whilst working out but she still pushes me! I would happily recommend Claire :-) More...

Claire is such a motivator, she’s fun to work with yet drives me forward at the same time. I cannot believe how far I’ve come in just 6 weeks and am looking forward to many more sessions. She is flexible and accommodating when necessary and gives commendation too. I absolutely love working out now something I never thought I would say and it is all because of her. More...

Although we haven’t been working long. From the first conversation we had I knew that Claire would be amazing! I think having a good personality and bubbly energy just already makes you good at what you do. I’ve loved every session we have had, always something new to learn or do!
After years of struggling going to gym and then signing up to do London marathon never felt more confident in myself and my physical strength! Can’t wait to continue my journey to 26.2 Miles!!! More...

You are a joy to work with and I look forward to many more sessions. You will smash the marathon 💪

Signed up with Claire for 6 weeks to help me get in shape for a half marathon and I’m incredibly glad I did. She taught me lots of ways to work on my core and explained detailed approaches to keeping in shape. I was really impressed with her overall knowledge of fitness training and her gentle approach to making me sweat. I would highly recommend Claire Smart PT to anyone, no matter your age or background in fitness. She’s approachable and friendly and helped me achieve a goal I otherwise thought would be impossible. Thank you. More...

I’m an 81year old lady and even after having 3 joint replacements Claire gives me the confidence to exercise my whole body, I thoroughly love my sessions with her.

Clare has been with me now over a year. She is incredibly patient and motivating and I’ve begun to look forward to our sessions together. I could not speak highly enough of her and would not hesitate to recommend her More...

Great motivation to start me running and achieving my goal of 5k and running my first parkrun. Flexibility with training times to fit around my work and contact between sessions to keep me motivated.
