LAURA
“The Reformer is a transformer! Having just recovered from a hip replacement I knew I had to take it gently at first and felt I was in safe hands with Clare. I have a real sense of what it feels like to move properly again whilst at the same time improving on core connection.”
SANDRA
“Clare is intelligent, kind and knowledgeable and after 5 minutes in her company, I trusted her completely. Her studio is bright, clean, peaceful and airy. She started the taster with questions about my goals and issues; she tweaks and tailors the exercises each week based on my ongoing feedback. She sets entirely achievable “movement snack” homework, most of which I manage while waiting for the kettle to boil or brushing my teeth. After about 7 sessions (combined with osteopathy) I have reached a place I was worried I’d never see again: At the risk of sounding evangelical, if your body is in pain, you don’t have to put up with it any more; you deserve to feel normal again, in fact, better than ever. I highly recommend Pilates with Clare Roberts and really can’t thank her enough. Pilates is now a loved and valued part of my life.”
ANTONIA
“I started working with Clare a few months ago, for one-on-one sessions, and can’t speak highly enough of her expertise! As someone who has suffered from scoliosis and undergone major spinal surgery, I wanted to work with a Pilates instructor who was able to address my medical concerns as well as target my overall fitness. Clare is highly knowledgeable and dynamic, with a keen understanding of skeletal and muscular form. She’s always pushing me towards my goals and her studio space with the Pilates reformer is beautiful and zen, too!”
SIOBHAN
“I’m very glad I found Clare! She is so knowledgeable about anatomy she gave me confidence from session #1. I’d had personal trainers that injured me (one size does not fit all!) and decided to try reformer Pilates instead. At the start of each session Clare checks with me for any physicality concerns and builds that into sessions to suit, whether that be balance, or specific needs. Clare also provides me with a schedule of exercises to do at home to complement our 1-2-1 sessions. She is thoughtful professional and a pleasure to train with – highly recommend!”
AMANDA
“I highly recommend Clare’s Pilates studio. I took a taster session in mid 2022 and continued with classes after that. She took the time to ask questions and listen in each class, and helped me understand my body better and what I could do to feel stronger and reduce lower back ache I was experiencing. Her approach is highly bespoke and I found the benefits totally different to Pilates in a class environment and more long lasting. Her classes helped give me the foundations both physical and in terms of knowledge to manage my wider lifestyle and exercise regime in a way that’s more mindful and focused on my own needs and goals.”
NIA
“Clare’s friendly and calming manner soon gets my body to move in a way that other teachers cannot reach. I started Pilates as a way to rehab a sports injury and to manage pain caused by degeneration of the knee and lower back. Increased flexibility and better posture are two very welcome additional benefits.”
GARY
“As a dance professional I appreciate the way that Clare’s teaching practice is considered and bespoke. Through demonstration, communication and use of props she is able to articulate the rationale behind key Pilates principles such as alignment, use of breath and pace.”
NAOMI
“I have always thrived on sports and movement. I enjoy the tailored programme of exercises on the Reformer, Pilates Arc and the Mat as they challenge my body and are a great addition to my weekly regime.”
