Hello
I’m Clare, and I’m the founder of Flex and Move Fitness. We’re a local exercise community based on friendship, health and wellbeing.
My Story
I have worked in education for over 20 years, working with primary aged pupils. While completing my Foundation Degree I studied and focused on the importance of keeping fit and healthy in the outdoors, and encouraging this within education.
I love to be busy, and spend my spare time caring for and riding my horse, walking in the Peak District, volunteering with the local Explorer Scouts, and co-ordinating the Duke of Edinburgh Award, organising expeditions for young people.
I have always enjoyed going to the gym, swimming and attending classes, but in 2020 I fell, injuring my knee. Many months of physiotherapy and rehabilitation followed, and as part of my recovery I enjoyed participating in online FLexercise classes during lockdown, first seated and later fully participating which really helped me regain my mobility.
​
Helping you
This experience has led me to embark on a new career as a group exercise to music instructor. My aim is to encourage everyone, whatever their age or ability, to keep flexible and mobile as it is so important to wellbeing.
