"Following major surgery I felt my core and abdominal muscles needed help. Since treating myself to a weekly 1 to 1 Pilates class with Claire Wray, I have never looked back. Her expert tuition, tailored specifically to me, has always been friendly, relaxed (but hard work on those core muscles) and very beneficial. I feel more flexible, have no back pain and much stronger core muscles. Before completing 3 annual 26 mile Moonwalks (London and Edinburgh) Claire incorporated the Pilates into my training plan. Truly personal Pilates!" Pauline S, Leeds
