The Pilates Studio

Established The Pilates Studio in Newton Abbot. Claire's passion for Pilates is evident in her teaching style. She takes the time to break down exercises, making them accessible to everyone and helping clients reach their full potential in the studio.

Claire's goal is for each one of her clients to become as passionate about Pilates as she is. Whether you are in a group class or participating in a one-on-one session, Claire will guide you through the practise and show you how Pilates can truly change your life.

After training in mat-based Pilates in 2001 and teaching for over 10 years, Claire decided to broaden her knowledge and experience. She retrained in equipment-based Pilates, dedicating over 2 years to fully qualify as a Contrology Pilates Method teacher. During this time, she travelled across the UK and Europe, even having the opportunity to work with Mary Bowen, a pilates elder who was one of the last surviving students to have worked directly with Joseph Pilates in his studio. This experience allowed Claire to gain invaluable knowledge of Joseph Pilates' original form.

Claire is committed to continuous learning and stays up to date with the latest developments in Pilates. She believes in offering her clients the best experience possible and therefore continues to train and expand her knowledge.

In addition to Pilates, The Pilates Studio also offers Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy, which is considered the missing link in pain and tension relief. MFR therapy, which can be conducted on a couch, helps eliminate any pain or tension stored within the fascial system of the body.

The Pilates Studio also organises retreats, providing an opportunity for individuals to step away from their day-to-day demands and focus on reconnecting with themselves. These retreats offer exercise classes, nourishing food, and ample time for relaxation.

Clients of The Pilates Studio have expressed their satisfaction with Claire's teaching and the benefits they have experienced from Pilates and MFR therapy. Some have reported successful management of chronic back pain, improved mobility, posture, and a lifted mood.

To experience the life-changing benefits of Pilates or MFR therapy, book a class or contact Claire at The Pilates Studio. She is dedicated to helping you reach your full potential in fitness, strength, and overall well-being.
