Welcome to CLC Fitness
Personal Training and Fitness Classes for Women Online and in Guildford.
How does exercise make you feel?
Hello and welcome to CLC Fitness. I’m Carly, founder of CLC Fitness, specialist women’s personal and group fitness training based both online and in Guildford, Surrey.
Through energising, bespoke personal training sessions with me, the women I work with learn to use exercise to boost their mood, help them feel better about their bodies and become something they really look forward to.
Daunted? Bewildered? Unsure of how to start? Are you a complete beginner and haven’t done anything fitness-related since PE at school?
Perhaps you’ve lost your exercise mojo and would like to find it again? Or, maybe you just aren’t sure of how to get started? I can help and believe me, I know how it feels to be at the bottom of the ladder looking up.
My deep specialism is helping women manage their symptoms and long term health during the menopause transition. This can be a tricky and bewildering time for many of us but there is much we can do which will help. Drop me a message and find out how we can work together.
Want to discover the mood-boosting benefits of exercise during perimenopause? Why not try an online fitness class with me?
Exercise for a healthy body and a happy mind.
I definitely wasn’t the “sporty kid” at school and struggled to regain confidence in both my body and to know how to start exercising again after having children. I am not your “typical” personal trainer who has spent her life in the gym and I haven’t always worked in the fitness industry.
It was from my personal experience of feeling low, uninspired and unsure where to start with exercise that led me to make the (huge!) leap to change careers, retrain as a personal trainer specialising in women’s health and start CLC Fitness. I really wanted to help other women to feel confident and empowered and to show them (as one of my clients called it) “the magic of exercise”. To the women who train with me, this “magic” is the positive effect that exercise has on the way you feel.
I am a passionate advocate on the link between exercise and good mental health and you can find more from me about how exercise can help keep your mental health in tip-top shape.
Training with me is so much more than a short term fix or about honing your body to look a certain way. Of course, regular training will have significant physical benefits, but in our PT sessions, we shift the focus so that you can discover how exercise can improve your relationship with your body, boost your wellbeing and mood so that you can feel better, both inside and out. Not only this, but exercise becomes something you want to do, and when you are able to be consistent, the physical benefits follow on naturally.
As one of my lovely clients said “after my sessions with you, I feel stronger, fitter and brighter in outlook than I have been for a long time” and what could be better than that?
As I have got older myself, my learning has evolved alongside the experiences of myself, my friends and the women I work with. Since hitting my forties, I have undertaken many hours of further study and developed a specialism in fitness for menopause and much of my work now is dedicated to helping women manage their perimenopause and menopause symptoms, as well as their long term health and wellbeing, through their fitness and lifestyle.
Sound good?
If this resonates with you, then why not contact me for a free 10 minute chat? Or follow me on Facebook or Instagram to see more of what me and my brilliant clients get up to! I offer in-person, bespoke personal training sessions, both on a one-to-one basis and for small groups of friends for women of all ages and levels of fitness experience.
If exercise classes you can follow along with at your own pace in your own time is more your thing, I also run two weekly fitness classes online - HIIT and Strength. Both are specially suited to women who are experiencing the perimenopause or have been through the menopause and you can find out more about them and try a strength class for free by heading here.
Feel free to get in touch to find out more. I’d love to hear from you!
What People Are Saying
“Training with Carly has been a joy. I’ve laughed every session, gained confidence in myself and my body, and built my strength and stamina to deal with life with two small children. Each session has been a workout and a (socially distanced!) hug all in one.
— Rebecca, Guildford
“Carly has taken me from being a very occasional runner to a soon-to-be marathon runner in the space of months. She is an incredibly positive person and her approach is both disciplined while remaining realistic. She is always on hand for advice and support and I have loved every one of her sessions. I could not have done this without her. I cannot recommend Carly highly enough.”
— Leone, Guildford
“I have found Carly to be supportive, fun and the utmost professional. She has helped me marry the mental and physical side of being a new mum, has boosted my confidence no end and has got me into a position where I now have a realistic exercise routine that I can fit around the push and pull of a hectic family life. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”
