"Many women avoid going to the gym because they don't know what to do and feel uncomfortable in that environment. As a personal trainer I teach women how to strength train, giving them the tools they need to workout and the confidence to do it anywhere." -Claire

 

About Me

I haven't always been a loud and proud lifter of weights and embracer of muscles. I’m in my 40s and I have been through it. I spent the majority of my beautiful, sweet, elastic-skinned 20s in an abusive relationship. Details saved for therapy, but I was constantly told I had to be skinny, no skinnier, look better, ugh still don’t look good enough. I was ugly, ashamed, sad and scared all the time, and felt so. utterly. helpless.

I would wake up at 4:30 in the morning to rush to the dreaded 5am spin class, spinning like I could escape my life. I went back to that gym after work to lift weights, clueless about what I was doing, embarrassed about it, terrified to ask for help. I did this and more in hopes that if I did enough it would make me small enough to be acceptable.

While I was finally able to escape the abusive relationship, I didn’t escape the abusive attitude I had towards myself. I was scared, alone, and insecure. At the time I was working as an administrative assistant at an IT company and I would eat lunch in my car, salad balancing on my knees in front of the steering wheel, and watch these cool people work out at a cool gym. I so desperately wanted what they had but I was too awkward to dare check it out. Lucky for me a coworker had quit his job and was now working there as a trainer. And after many dry salads in my car, I eventually took a very scary walk over there to talk to him.

I signed up for his personal training, forking over a gut-wrenching amount of money I didn't really have, because I wanted what these people had. My trainer was kind, patient, teaching without condescending, guiding me through workouts I never dreamed of being able to do. And I switched. From wanting to be smaller to wanting to be stronger. I felt powerful like I could stand up for myself, speak for myself. My trainer teaching me how to lift heavy things did more than make me strong, confident and independent. It gave me back the most precious thing I had lost over so many years . . . Me.

I decided to follow in my mentor's footsteps, using what I had learned and experienced to help other women on their path to self discovery by becoming a trauma informed personal trainer. My approach is through kindness, understanding and empathy for the struggle many of us face. If you're looking for someone to yell "drop and give me 20!" you've come to the wrong place. But if you need guidance with compassion then you may have found your safe space.

Online Training

Prefer to do things on your own time but need a little help in the process? Then online coaching could be for you.

Specialized workout programs designed for you with your goals in mind will be sent on a monthly basis delivered via a customized app. Weekly check-ins on progress, questions, concerns, or virtual high-fives on how awesome you’re doing will keep you connected and on track.

What is Claire Conditioning Online Training?

Traditionally, people look to a personal trainer located near them, spend an hour at a time at a premium price, then repeat 2-4 times a week. This is a great model for some, but very limiting for others. Many people simply need guidance and accountability without the one-on-one sessions. This is where online training comes in. After having a meeting over zoom, phone call or whatever method works best for you, discussing your goals, injury history, exercise experience and interests, I design a personalized exercise program for you to do on your own. We can do another virtual session to review the exercises and answer any questions as needed. As you go through your program, we keep in touch to make sure the workouts are working for you. You’ll get new workouts every 2-4 weeks, depending on your experience and goals.

What are the benefits of online training?

While we won't be together during your workouts, you get all the benefits of a professional personal trainer who's got your back. The program will be specifically designed for you. And when an exercise isn't feeling quite right, I'm there to offer a substitute that does work. When you are learning the movements, I am available virtually to review your form and give any coaching when needed. I care about you and your progress, and I am with you every step of the way.

What's the difference between this and getting a workout off the internet?

Sometimes getting a workout from Pinterest or Women's Health works great. But oftentimes we don't know the exercises, have injuries that keep us from performing an exercise, or don't know how to progress to the next level. Working with me gets you an individualized program that changes when needed. And we get chat with each other and give virtual hugs or high fives, which is super awkward to do with a Pinterest page.

What does working with you look like?

First, you'll tell me about you, your goals, and your current life situation in a few simple forms. Then we have a chat about your answers and create your individualized game plan. This includes how much support you need with scheduling, habits, preferred frequency and length of your workouts, exercise coaching, and what equipment you have and might possibly need to get if you don't plan to go to a gym. Everything is designed with you and your preferences in mind. Once you're ready for your program you are off and running. We will have weekly check-ins via Google Forms to make sure the workouts are going well, with an option to schedule a call or zoom session. In the meantime I am always available for questions, concerns, pet pictures, bragging about your accomplishments, or whatever is coming up for you. Based on how the program is working for you, we can schedule a chat to go over the next batch of workouts. You'll get new workouts every 2-4 weeks depending on your experience and goals.

Do you have a refund policy?

Unless something unforeseeable happens, I do not refund for a month in progress. I do ask for a 3-month commitment, to be paid monthly, but things happen so if you need to bail early we can discuss.

    • Online Training
    • $199/month*

    • Initial assessment
    • Programs designed specifically for you
    • Bi-weekly check-in calls
