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.

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.

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.

Claire 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.

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.

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. Excellent running advice and tips for style and stamina. It would have been difficult to achieve this without your support and encouragement. Thank you.

Excellent experience working with Claire. She was very knowledgeable and gave me some great tips and techniques to work on. Noticeable change in strength and endurance levels over the 10 week course. Great coach, motivator and encourager. Highly recommend. Five stars.

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.

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.

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. Wholeheartedly recommending Claire for prenatal fitness and looking forward to continuing postnatal

I was lucky enough to attend Claire’s Welsh retreat in 2024.  From the wonderful healthy food, which was so nourishing and filling, to a mix of very special Pilates classes bringing attention, focus and relaxation to the forefront.  Accommodation is on a shared basis and is set within stunning Welsh scenery.  If you want to give your mind body and soul a treat then you need this in your life.  Highly recommend.

Claire quite literally changed everything I thought I knew about my body! She took so much care and focus on developing a suitable programme that made me challenge myself and meet new goals each week. I feel stronger, fitter and happier. Thank you, Claire.

Claire’s classes have kept me focused on keeping fit and healthy, I am so pleased with my progress. Thanks Claire you are a star.

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!

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!

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 🙂

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.

Excellent running advice and tips for style and stamina. It would have been difficult to achieve this without your support and encouragement.

Thank you.

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.

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.
