Hi, I'm Claire.

Coach, lifter and recovering PE-hater, here to get you strong for life.

Where it started

I hated PE at school.

Seriously. I didn't get into fitness because I dreamed of being a coach.

I found movement during a really difficult time, when my mum was unwell. What started as a way to cope turned into a genuine love of training. I threw myself into strength training and nutrition, and eventually bodybuilding.

Competing taught me discipline and consistency. It also showed me how easily health gets tangled up in food rules, pressure and self-worth. I learned the good bits and the pitfalls of chasing health through extremes, and that's exactly what shaped the coach I am now.

Throwback: my bodybuilding era

Then COVID happened

200+ women, all over the world.

When the gyms shut, I took my coaching online and founded Naked Clean Health. Since then I've coached more than 200 women across the USA, Canada, South Africa, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

And here's what they taught me. The women who kept their results weren't the ones who followed a plan perfectly. They were the ones who built habits they could stick to when life got busy, stressful or messy.

Lasting results don't come from finding the perfect diet. They come from strong foundations: realistic nutrition, movement, mindset and habits that fit real life. That's why I created The Habit Base.

And now

Still The Habit Base. Now on the gym floor too.

The Habit Base hasn't gone anywhere. Habits, food and mindset are still the base of everything we do, online and in person. I've just added the gym floor.

Because right now it feels like the skinny era is being sold to us all over again, and I want to make sure women stay in the gym: strong, lifting heavy, and knowing exactly how to do it. There's nothing like being there when a woman gets confident under a barbell, celebrating a PB in real time, and watching her realise she's capable of so much more than she thought.

My mission hasn't changed: helping women build strength, confidence and habits that last, so you look and feel hot in your body. Now, and at 80.

You'll find me online, or in person at The Altens Health Club in Aberdeen. Come say hi.
