We just wanted to thank Clare for being such a great teacher throughout the 21 day course. We've both enjoyed the exercises and the camaraderie of the other class members. Also the online classes are great as a reminder of each exercise so you know you're doing them properly. Best wishes to Clare and classmates, Janet and Ted

Just completed 21 day trial…I was really sceptical as I have always found the thought of Pilates/Yoga ‘boring’ and found it hard to switch my head from the buzz of ‘ adrenaline rush, you get from HIT/Run - Cardio..On my 1st class, i initially thought, this is never going to do anything… however, by the end of the class I felt really awake, relaxed and refreshed..The next day I was aching so much xEleanor and Claire are fabulous teachers and generally care for there members.. All themembers are lovely, welcoming and it’s like a little family xThank you

Signed up for the 21 day Pilates class trial, which is something I have never done before - with the aim of improving & helping a number of long standing niggles and general well being.So glad I signed up to the classes offered by Claire as the group sizes are perfect and the areas of focus and support based on what I am trying to achieve are just what I needed.The approach to classes is great as you are made to feel welcome and you are you are given support - also good to have the online collateral to access as part of the membership regarding exercise you can follow in your own time

After joining the 21 day trial with Clare, I attended 2 classes. Suffering from back and neck pain for a while now, I thought why not. Having never tried plates before Clare talked me through each step and explained each move thoroughly. I felt in safe hands and can honestly say, I loved the classes and felt very relaxed, my pains eased and I could practice some of the moves at home.I'm looking forward to joining as a full time customer soon!

I joined Clare’s Pilates class , ( just to try it ) because I have arthritis in both knees and right hip which was affecting my mobility, ability to continue with my hobbies and my independence . After only two weeks I am starting to feel a difference . The pain in my legs is not as intense and muscles which I never knew I had, are feeling stronger. Clare is a fantastic teacher and ensures everyone is getting the most from the session, the groups being small enough for individual tuition . It’s such a friendly group for all ages , working to your own capabilities. Thank you Clare,

I couldn’t praise Clare at New Healthy Body enough for being so welcoming, attentive and supportive of everyone’s individual needs during classes. I have for a long time been in need of some work on my sore back and tight shoulders, within 3 sessions I am already feeling the benefits and Clare has given me extra personalised exercises to work on these issues in between classes.

I have participated in 4 lessons on line since August 2023.I live in Denmark, but my friend through 49 years has always been so thankful for Clare’s Pilates classes, so yes I decided to have a go. My hopes for the chronic pains in the shoulders and upper back were not high and didn’t believed in any improvement. But I was so wrong! It’s has halfed the amount of painkillers and made me more mobile and flexible. I have now started a monthly membership and have hopes now for further improvement on my poor balance and strength in both legs. That is my goal and I can only recommend Clare’s positive and empathetic way of thinking us all in despite we are in front of a little mobile phone screen miles away 😊 thank you

I really enjoyed the online Pilates sessions I had. Much preferred them to being in a room with others, it felt like a one to one session. It convinced me that Pilates is much better suited to me than 'jumping about' aerobics. I definitely recommend Claire for her patience and expertise. Thank you!

Due to ongoing back issues following surgery many years ago, I decided to enrol onto the 21 day Pilates programme.I made a good choice, so far after only 3 weeks I can honestly say I feel so much better, have far less pain and am much more mobile, this in turn has benefited my overall mood/ health.The classes are well run and everyone is friendly, I would highly recommend.

I enjoyed the classes I attended & used the online library several times.Unfortunately, as a 9-5 worker with children the in person class times weren't accessible for me. I would also have liked a few more online options so I wasn't repeating the shorter classes so much (didn't have time to do an hour most days).Clare was so lovely & helpful

Joined the 21 day programme with my partner to see how I would manage with my fibromyalgia and bad back amongst other things. Plus being male thought I would feel a bit awkward. All I can say is WOW. Clare made us feel so welcome and the groups are a nice size where she can really see what we are all doing and help where needed. It has made a massive difference to my energy levels and mobility.I have now become a full member and can't wait to continue my journey and find out how much I can improve. I can't recommend Clare and the team enough.

Having just completed my 21 day program. I am delighted to say I have signed up as a full member. I have multiple issues which I won't share but trust me when I say if you are experiencing joint pains / back / balance issues this is a must.Having tried pilates before , but never felt comfortable or supported so never continued. I was very wary about joining New Body.However my fears have been blow away. Not only have I found Clare to be friendly, approachable and most of all knowledgeable she somehow makes the sessions fun... It's the fastest hour of my week and trust me thats not easy.The other class members are also friendly and supportive.. No judgement whatever your size ,shape or ability.After the first session I saw / felt the benefits ... felt more energised, slept better, able to walk further without pain.I now look forward to my sessions at New Healthy Body. So much so my diary is organised around them , not the other way round.xxGo on give the 21days a try... Promise you won't regret it.

Enjoyed a free taster session then signed up for the 21day programme. Now a member. I've been struggling with neck and shoulder discomfort for years and my posture has declined. Starting to feel the benefits and am noticing that I'm already standing taller and sitting up straighter. Clare is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly, is so supportive and offers great advice. The other members are so welcoming and friendly. Thank you.

I joined New Healthy Body 21 Day Pilates programme after being recommended it by a couple of friends after injuring my lower back at work. I had a few reservations at first and wasn’t very optimistic that it would improve my injury after struggling on for over 4 months with physio and not much improvement. I met Clare on my first session and straight away she was reassuring and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Within a couple of sessions I noticed a massive improvement in my range of movements and the pain I was having day in day out had severely reduced. I am now 5 sessions in and have joined up to New Healthy Body full time and could not be happier. I am now back at work and beginning to get my normal active life back, walking, running, footballing etc. The Pilates programme has improved my physical and mental health ten fold and this is all due to the team at New Healthy Body.I would recommend anybody who is struggling with an injury or general aches and pains to try the 21 day Pilates program and I can guarantee you will see an improvement in your physical health.Clare and the team are amazing and will cater to anybody’s needs, whatever your ability or circumstances are !Definitely give it a try !

Due to suffering with chronic back pain every day which was definitely affecting my mood I decided to give Pilates a go and I am amazed at the difference it has made. I have experienced many days of no pain at all in my back and it has definitely made me feel much better in myself. Clare is such a nice person and will always go that extra mile to show you how to properly do the exercises that have massive benefits to them.

In the run up to finishing work I was struggling with sciatica type symptoms which worsened with being inactive. Pilates was always something I wanted to try and it has been the perfect answer. The symptoms have virtually gone. Pilates energises you and the strength you gain in the exercises is put to good use in daily life. I would recommend it without hesitation. Clare is always trying her best to offer Pilates classes in a variety of ways

I joined classes recently after a period of ill health to improve both my physical and overall wellbeing. Classes are friendly and Clare is always on hand to support, advise and help you along. Having never found a form of exercise to help with neck, shoulder and back issues these pilates classes are making a real difference and improving my quality of life.

I joined New Healthy Body pilates classes with Clare over 3 years ago. Although my daily life is quite active I hadn't had much success with gyms or keeping fit on my own....I'd be keen to start off with but easily get bored or it would be taking up too much time and effort to maintain it. I'd also had a serious back injury in my teens which often flares up if I'm not careful. Starting pilates with Clare has been the best experience. She is very knowledgeable and I trust her, so that when I've recently pulled my back again...I was tempted to not do anything in order to protect and heal, but with gentle guidance I managed to keep exercising safely so I can now do all the moves easily again. I find that although it is challenging sometimes, it is also very relaxing, spending that hour on myself when there are so many demands from work and family. It has been an absolute lifeline during the last 2 years when life has not been normal. I'd started out going to the studio, then online as covid came along, but both seem to work really well. I would thoroughly recommend Clare as an instructor, and she is a lovely friendly person who puts everyone at ease.

Whilst I can't do everything, I can do enough to see improvement. Unlike other things I've done, I've stuck at this and enjoyed it for 2 years

I attended the Dream, Believe & Achieve Workshop at New Healthy Body last week and it was hugely beneficial, helping me to set SMART goals and ensure I stay on track working towards these. Clare is warm and friendly, she shared lots of her personal experiences throughout the workshop and offered lots of inspiration so that we could manifest anything we wanted to. Highly recommended!

I decided to give Pilates a try because I was experiencing a lot of pain from  my shoulder and hip joints.When I say a lot it was keeping me awake at night.I knew Clare from networking with the Elite Business Academy and I knew that she was very dedicated and sincere about what she does and so I signed up for a 21 day trial with her.I was quickly blown away by her professionalism and her depth of knowledge in her subject so much so that once my 21 day trial finished I had no hesitation in signing up for regular sessions.After 6 or 7 weeks I suddenly realized that I'd had no more discomfort from either my shoulders or my hips so it was clearly working.So I'd like to say a big thank you to Clare and to encourage anybody with aches and pains or back problems to have a chat with her to see if she can help.

I attended Clare’s first Believe Dream and Achieve workshop. The session, held at the studio, was delivered by Clare in a clear, structured manner.Clare helped the small group of us to identify which areas of our lives we wanted to improve and helped us to set SMART goals in each area.I left the session with a much more focused approach to what I would like to achieve over the coming months and feel like I can implement the steps I identified in the session to do so.As always Clare was professional but friendly. As a group we spoke freely without fear of judgment or intimidation.

Clare and her team consistently deliver high quality Pilates classes. I have been attending Pilates with Clare for over 2 years now both in the studio and over zoom.Sometimes life gets in the way and I don’t attend classes for a couple of weeks. The difference in how I feel is astonishing. When regularly attending classes I feel fitter, stronger, more flexible and pain free. A couple of weeks off and I’m like an old woman despite being in my early 30s!Clare and her team are professional and very friendly. They always take the time to tailor movements to individual needs and are very knowledgeable.You can rest assured you are in a safe and non judgmental environment at the studio. I can’t recommend Clare enough, she really will help you to reach your goals. If you are thinking about Pilates you can’t go wrong with Clare!

After having an operation, Covid and pneumonia in a few short months my physical health was at it's worst in years. I knew I had to do something but was really unsure because of how poor my mobility was. I contacted Clare and in two weeks I can see a remarkable improvement. Clare is kind, reassuring and extremely professional. She listens, understands and helps you to believe you can turn an awful situation into something positive and proactive. I never wanted to run a marathon just to improve my balance, get my joints and muscles moving again and enjoy walking my dog. I am gaining confidence in what my body can do now and it is thanks to Clares expert support and guidance. No matter how low your starting point is I am sure Clare can help you. just like she is helping me.

I was having issues with back, balance and ankle issues - not good when you are about to embark on a 104 mile walk! With Clare's support and guidance I was pain free for the duration of my walk.Thank you Clare xx

For several years my back had been stiff and uncomfortable and so last year I decided to do something about it. I saw an advert for a 21 day Pilates trial and although a little nervous decided to have a go. I was a newbie, to Pilates, but with Clare's guidance, through the varying levels, I found the sessions very rewarding. I would certainly recommend Clare's Pilates sessions, they really do work.

I joined New Healthy Body over 2 years ago, following total replacements of both my hips and knees, and not feeling confident about doing any form of excercise. The welcome I received from both Clare and Andy was really informative, totally understanding my “ false” body parts, and above all making me feel very comfortable. Clare always adjust the excercises to suit me as I can’t kneel down very well, but adds different levels of strength and flexibility to suit new beginners and more experienced clients. Through the pandemic, Clare & Andy have totally flipped their business to doing live online Zoom classes from the comfort of you own living room! She keeps an eye on everyone and does not miss a trick if you are doing something wrong! She lets you know exactly what you should be doing. There have also been some social occasions ie quiz nights, and weekly coffee mornings where we’ve all been able to have a chat and a cuppa. So thank you to Clare & Andy for everything you are doing for us.

Signed up for the 21day Pilates programme with Clare at New Healthy Body. I’m amazed at the difference it’s made in three weeks regarding how I move, stand and exercise. Clare is an excellent teacher and explains the moves then shows you, then as you do each move, she advises on posture and positioning in real time. I’ve had a full total shoulder replacement and have arthritis and Pilates with Clare has been key to keep me moving. The sessions are friendly and informative and I was able to go at my own pace when I had a slightly stiff back. Can’t thank Clare enough 😊

I’ve been attending the Yoga Nidra classes for the past month. I had never attended anything like this before and didn’t really know what to expect. I’m so glad I did because these classes are so relaxing and I feel generally much calmer. I look forward so much to Tuesday evenings to get on my mat and listen to Maria’s voice helping me to switch off and let go of the stresses of life. I sleep like a baby on Tuesday nights after the classes and feel better equipped to deal with life’s stresses and strains. Highly recommended.

I recommend you try Clare Ward’s Pilates classes.Clare is a great experienced instructor who makes you feel you are having a personal class even though you are in a group. She gives you clear instructions and makes sure you do not do anything that would aggravate a health condition you have.Her Pilates classes are not just good for you body but for your mind also. Taking part in Clare’s Zoom classes during lock down really helped me deal energised and helped me get out of an emotional ‘blip’ I had. These are for anyone of any age, you will feel the benefits instantly, I recommend you just give it a go 😃

I was a bit dubious at first when the lockdown started and the face to face Pilates sessions were replaced by Zoom meetings. Not being very confident with tech I still gave it a go and I am so glad I did. I can join in when it’s convenient and I feel so much better after the sessions. I like Clare’s easy to follow way of teaching, it’s a way of life which has benefitted my well-being in so many ways.

Clare & Andy have developed a fantastic, welcoming, friendly and professional on-line Pilates group. To be fair, I been to their traditional studio pilates groups back in the Autumn of 2019. Whilst I really enjoyed it and felt it was doing some good...it was also difficult to balance my busy lifestyle as a Business owner and travelling around...to always be on time to the meetings.Clare & Andy v quickly pivoted their business with their blocks of the '21 day Challenge' in the face of the massive shut-down in business. I have to congratulate them on being flexible & resourceful to save their business and turn their offering online.I absolutely love doing it at home. Mornings work better for me as it energises me for the rest of my day.I shall be continuing with this model as the benefits can be felt very quickly. Better sleep and more flexibility and less shoulder, neck & back pain!

Why on earth did I need to wait until there was a Global Pandemic before I ventured in to Pilates?My first experience of Pilates started with the 21 day Challenge that New Healthy Body created to help people during the pandemic and to keep those who usually went to 'face to face' classes engaged.All I can say is it immediately felt like they'd been offering the 'newly developed' online experience for ever - incredibly well presented, levels of difficulty for beginners and experts alike and care and attention to detail throughout every session.Thank you - the 21 days made such a difference that I've signed up to continue.

I joined up to do online classes as my physio suggested it would help me with my back and neck pain and make me stronger. I saw the 21 day challenge on facebook and decided to sign up and it has been great. I have done at least 3 sessions a week and as well as feeling stronger I feel calmer and have more energy. Clare is a great teacher and never pushes you to do hard moves, just asks you to listen to your body. This really helps. Thank you.

Glad I became a member. Clare and her team are ace. They are real down to earth people, organized and professional. I thought I could do the toughest exercises but found myself only able to do the easiest and will work up to the higher levels. Always wanted to do Pilates so came to the right place, well pleased. Ray.

I've never done Pilates before, so was a little apprehensive. Clare put me at ease straight away and reassured me that the exercises are tailored to different levels of ability. Clare describes each exercise so well and talks you through, gently correcting posture to gain maximum effect from each one. I love how its improving my core strength already. Moving to online classes is just as effective, so thank you Clare and Andy for adapting to make this possible. Alison.

After just one online session with Clare my back ache had completely gone!At work I am often sat for long periods of time which causes me a bad back. Clare guided me through exercises which helped to loosen me up and after only 10mins in I was already feeling better. I’ve only had face to face Pilates before but I loved it being online. I’m a busy person & time is precious so it’s massively beneficial to be able do this from home whilst still keeping the support and structure there.Highly recommend!Thanks New Healthy Body

After spending a fortune on seeing chiropractors and it only ever masking the lower back pain I decided to try something new. I’ve heard and read before how Pilates helps back pain but always been sceptical, I can honestly say even after only a few sessions my back pain is easing, I’m loving the classes, they are relaxing but also challenging and my body aches after. I also have a monthly massage at the same venue, very knowledgeable and targets my problem areas and makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. Would recommend for all ages- I’m 31 years old.

I contacted Clare at the start, she was so helpful and responsive. I was a little bit anxious I’ve never done yoga or Pilates! I was welcomed by the team. I’m on week number 4 and can really feel the benefits. I have stiffness, rigidity and back troubles I also manage a long term condition that effects my balance and much more. I feel comfortable at the classes. The instructors give guidance and tuition during the lessons. It’s already having a positive impact on my health both mentally and physically.

Had never even attempted Pilates before but after an Achilles injury, it was recommended to me. I wanted to choose somewhere that would give me good advice and be aware of my injury. Clare’s initial response to my enquiry and advice on meeting was great and filled me with confidence.18 months on, I love it and know it has helped massively in my recovery. I can’t recommend it enough and thoroughly enjoy my hour of peace on a Saturday morning!

Professional and friendly, always willing to offer advise and support. Initially went to try improve hip pain. I am now post surgery and the support and advice continues to flow. Classes are friendly, no pressure and you are free to work at your own level while being encouraged to progress as you feel able. I love going and I am able to feel the benefits with re to strength, balance and posture 👍🏻😊 x

I recently went to see Clare & Andy Ward for some muscle activation treatment after years of poor posture and various injury’s was giving me restricted movement. It blew my mind some of the things that Andy was teaching me about our body’s and how they work. I highly recommend booking to see them for a session or a class.

The hour I spend at new healthy body is a precious one, I really appreciate the care and time that is given to making sure we all receive the most we can from the session. I have had quite a few issues with aches and pains but feeling a definite improvement since starting. The most surprising thing though is just how relaxed I feel afterwards. Wish I could go every day 😊

I am currently 6 months pregnant and attend pilates once a week in a regular class, Claire is a fantastic instructor who tailors the class to me on a individual basis without it affecting the rest of the class. I have been going for 2 months now and hope to continue as far as possible into my pregnancy. Claire is always thinking of new ways to adapt the positions to accommodate my ever growing bump.

Being a pensioner I was aware of my health failings, but once I joined new healthy body they soon vanished. sAll exercises can be adjusted to your needs and by doing them regularly you soon reap the benefits. I attend pilates, yoga and tai chi and love every moment I'm there, it's given me a new lease of life and I feel 20 years younger.

I have been a member for about a month, attending Pilates classes with Clare. Already I can feel the benefits and always leave the class feeling relaxed. Clare explains and demonstrates the moves clearly and as a beginner I have been able to follow them with ease. She offers individual guidance so you know you are doing things correctly and to your ability. I have also had a sports massage with Andy which helped me to identify areas of my body and posture that need work. He also explained how my posture can be improved through Pilates and what I should concentrate on doing at home.New Healthy Body is a brilliant place to enjoy Pilates or the other classes on offer. Everyone is friendly and you receive a warm welcome every time.

been attending classes for 4 weeks now. was having issues with restricted movement in my shoulder with some pain. the exercises have eased this somewhat and movement improving. the coaches also give you exercise advice suitable for any injuries which is helpful.Pilates is not just for people with injuries. Classes are small, varied and really make you think about posture!I have also had back massage which felt great.Would recommend.

I've been going to Clare for a few months now and love the class. Clare has helped with general aches and pains and my fitness and strength. I recently had a shoulder op and Clare has adapted the exercises so I can continue going. Can't recommend her highly enough. Try the free session and see what you think.

I joined Clare for her Pilates classes as I was having back pain and breathing issues. After just a couple of sessions I saw an improvement in both. Her routines improved my posture which eased the pressure on my lungs and spine. No jumping or bouncing around with these exercises, and she takes care to tailor each one to your individual requirements. 😀
