Once I had achieved my own goals I had new found confidence in myself and my abilities and I felt it was time to go 
back to work and re-train.  So naturally my path into the health and fitness industry started and has continued to flourish.
I continue to broaden my knowledge and expertise in my field and at present my focus is on life coaching and NLP 
which enables me to help my clients realize their full potential and achieve their goals and dreams.  

As a Master Trainer in the field of Corrective Exercise, I have  the advanced knowledge and skills to perform 
meaningful postural assessments and to prescribe targeted corrective exercises to promote health, wellbeing
and optimal human function.    

I believe a healthy, balanced and highly nutritious diet is the key to health and vitality and am a qualified Nutrition and weight management consultant.

I enjoy many types of exercise including Fitness Kickboxing, Functional movement resistance training, Tai chi and  yoga.  I love to run off road over the Downs
and am currently training for the Beachy Head marathon in October. 

Together with my professional qualifications and variety of training I have become a well rounded trainer and person, with an understanding of many different
types of exercise which I enjoy teaching to others.   I take a professional and friendly approach toward my clients with an emphasis on customer care and
 attention, being a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher with the ability to inspire, motivate and guide my clients to achieve their goals.  

I love teaching as much as I love exercising and my enthusiasm makes every class and private session Exciting, Fun, Motivating and Challenging.

Testimonials

"I visited a few PTs before I found one that could give me what I wanted from my workout. Traditional exercise was not helping. I went to Abs Training "to get back into shape" as I suffer from extremely tight muscles (fibromyalgia) which were limiting my range of movement and affecting my general fitness. I wanted a serious hands-on approach, not just another gym workout. I want to be pushed and challenged. In addition to being a Personal Trainer, Claire's background in corrective exercise means I now need only my session with Abs; whereas before I was seeing a chiropractor, massage therapist and PT! Alot of money to still feel stiff!  And, although it is hard work, Claire makes it fun!"

‘I have always hated sport and exercise and I started Claire’s classes thinking I would just do it for a month! Within the first six weeks Claire had changed my attitude to exercise, making it challenging but fun with achievable goals.   Claire is knowledgeable and focused on each individual she trains.   18 months after starting, I am fitter than I have ever been and still love training with Claire!!’

Kristina Bradford, 21 - I am a   full time secretary and singer so finding   the right motivation in my little time to keep in shape has been hard until now!! After losing my enthusiasm for the gym I decided to try Claire's class   at the end of April and have never felt so great! Claire has inspired all of us   and   takes the time to recognize   eveyones individual needs. The classes are brilliantly set out   with routines to keep you motivated and really do work you out!! Keep up the good work Claire!!              

Kristina   is a talented performer and singer   and has been kind enough to allow me to use her songs in my classes so please check out her website at www.myspace.com/kristinabradford       Check out the photo gallery to see Kristina

I have been training with Claire for about a year now after seeing an article about her in the newspaper. Prior to this I had always liked to exercise but I had a couple of problems with my neck and back which were so painful that I gradually reduced my exercise down to just walking the dogs.   Claire has completely altered the way I eat and think about food and yo-yo dieting along with the low carbohydrate diets have been replaced with a good healthy eating plan. My weight is now slowly slipping downwards and I have plenty of energy for my long weekends when I put in long hours and I haven’t had a cold since I started with her. I can only highly recommend her services to you and if you want to do one great thing for yourself do get in touch with her. She will undoubtedly change your life for the better. Good Luck!       (Yvonne – Personal Training Client) 15/05/08

I’ve always been a person with little confidence therefore making excuses not to join in!     Then there came a point in my life when I knew I had to try and change. I was unfit, very low and always tired.     I know it sounds silly but making the first move to join Claire’s classes was a big deal for me. I suppose that’s why I want to share a little of how good that decision was for me.   Meeting Claire is an absolute inspiration to us all. She’s living proof that we are all able to take more control of our lives not only physically but mentally and have so much fun whilst doing it.     Needless to say I am fitter, stronger, more confident and the ‘feel good’ factor after Claire’s classes is priceless. Challenge yourself –I did! It’s great! Thanks Claire. Denise B.   2008
