Body Sculpt Pilates

Claire Young started Body Sculpt Pilates five years ago following a career in the dressage world. After having her son nearly seven years ago via C-section, she suffered a partial hernia, and her physio sent her for Pilates. She loved it so much that she trained as an instructor. In January, Claire opened her own Pilates studio in Girton, teaching nine classes a week. Since closing due to the Coronavirus crisis, she’s started offering online subscription sessions through Facebook, where Claire has three groups available; seniors, mixed ability and advanced. She streams around three sessions a week where people can watch live and chat to Claire or view at a time to suit them.

She is also teaching via conference calling, and on Fridays uploads a free session to her Facebook page, which can also be viewed on YouTube.
