Before Alessia’s move into the fitness industry eight years ago, she spent ten years as a gymnast. This experience gave her a thorough understanding of the human body’s capabilities. She can help you get results, be it weight loss, fitness or rehabilitation post injury. We always receive great feedback on her ability to motivate her clients to achieve their goals and she takes great satisfaction in seeing their physical and emotional transformation. Alessia also heads up our circuit training sessions on Clapham Common, leading a fun and effective workout.

Clare is passionate about positive life change, and works hard with her clients to help them improve attitudes to exercise, nutrition and overall wellbeing. Clare uses sports massage as a supplement to training regimes, as an aid to injury rehabilitation and to tackle long-term postural or misuse conditions. She sees massage as an important component of healthy living for the recreational and serious sporting individual. Clare has a friendly, fun and motivating approach. Always keeping the long-term perspective in mind, her sessions are as much about lifestyle change as short-term treatment.
