Meet Clare! Clare is a Pilates instructor at Verve, one of Pittsburgh downtown salons.  She is certified to teach Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, MVE chair and Pilates stick. She utilizes props in mat classes so that participants can deepen the body’s connections in Pilates practice, as well as create a greater challenge.

Clare started taking Pilates classes eight years ago.  She had been a swimmer in high school and college and switched to running and weight training after graduation.  Despite being active and fit, she was experiencing lower back pain. But after a few short months of constant Pilates, her chronic back pain was gone!

Shortly after her own practice began, she committed to become a certified instructor so that she could help others realize how Pilates could help their own physical transformation.  Clare became certified at Peak Pilates.

Having experience with clients of all ages and fitness levels, Clare knows how to adjust a class or personal session so that the workout best fits the person she’s working with. She’s also worked with athletes after ending physical therapy from an injury.

What many people don’t know is that Pilates increases strength and improves posture. No matter your age or how in shape you are. This is an exercise that anyone can do! Clare enjoys helping Verve clients reach their fitness goals through Pilates so that they can not only look great, but feel great everyday!
