I’ve had a lot of new followers lately, so I thought it was time to introduce myself properly 💛
Hi, I’m Claire, and this is the year I turn 50 🎉
I’m the youngest in my family, and life taught me some difficult lessons from a young age. When I was just 9 years old, I tragically lost my brother. It was a heartbreaking time, and while my parents navigated their own grief, I had to find my way through those younger years too.
I married young at 21 and became a mum at 22. Today, I’m incredibly proud to have two amazing grown-up sons, along with their wonderful partners who are just like my daughters 💕and a beautiful granddaughter who brings so much joy to my life ❤️
My passion for fitness began in 2017, and what started as a personal journey soon became something much bigger. Exercise gave me strength, confidence, and a sense of purpose that I never expected.
A few years ago, I hit one of the lowest points in my life when my mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Watching someone you love go through that is devastating. The emotional impact affected my mental health so deeply that I eventually left my clerical job.
What followed was a journey of healing. Through counselling, self-discovery, and the unwavering support of my husband and family (and a good friend), I slowly began to rebuild myself.
That journey led me to retrain as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor. I wanted to help others experience the same transformative power that exercise had given me—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
FIT4U Coaching with Claire began its journey in January 2025 and now, my mission is to help people build confidence, develop self-discipline, and create healthier, fitter lifestyles that support both body and mind.
If you’re new here, thank you for following along. Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or somewhere in the middle of it, I’m glad you’re here. 💪✨
Always believe in yourself 🙌🏻
