Pilates By Claire

Claire Maund earned a degree in Biological Sciences from California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. She has been in the field of fitness for 25 years including ownership of Fitness 92 Fitness Club in Amsterdam, Netherlands.  She has always been athletic and loves the feeling that comes with body strengthening.  One of her clients commented that although he remembered doing a lot of core strengthening in the workout, he also felt so stretched out at the end. This incredible combination of feelings after a true pilates method workout are what Claire strives to achieve with each client.

She is fully certified in Pilates mat and Apparatus (reformer, trap table, chair, and barrels) by Long Beach Dance Conditioning.

She is also an ACE certified personal trainer, ACE group fitness instructor, EFI Gravity certified (both Pilates and strength training), and a member of the Pilates Method Alliance and IDEA.

Claire's hobbies include golf, aerobics, and boogie boarding.

Claire is described by her clients as being extremely personal in her application of the Pilates Method. Depending on existing body alignment, history of injuries, level of athleticism, and goals for Pilates training, she creates a unique work out for each person. The reason Claire chose to do her advanced apparatus training with Long Beach Dance Conditioning is that they emphasize this approach, unlike many other "one size fits all" Pilates certification programs. Above all, Claire believes that every Pilates workout should be a positive, energizing experience!
