Claire Sparrow
Claire Sparrow is the owner of Chapel Allerton Pilates Studio.
She’s a straight-talking, inspiring Scotswoman with an inclusive yet exciting and rigorous approach. She has an absolute passion for all things Pilates, enabling and supporting her clients while always maintaining her sense of humour and humility throughout all her client interactions.
Claire’s strongly empathetic nature allows her to decode complex issues and create bespoke opportunities for change in a private or large-group setting. She is mindful of her audience, ensuring that no matter how timid, confident, injured, or intact a person is, she will go the extra mile to help.
Claire is the living embodiment of “you are the architect of your own happiness.” After discovering Pilates in 1998 as a young dance student, her life resolved her debilitating knee injury; she has been evangelical about the benefits ever since.
Claire has a wealth of qualifications and never stops learning – training & certifying with Pilates Institute, Fit To Deliver, APPI, STOTT, Natural Bodies, and, of course, Polestar, and most recently, becoming a Second Generation Teacher graduating from the Lolita San Miguel Master Mentorship Program 2019.
Claire opened her first home studio in 2005, then took the leap and opened a large, fully equipped studio in partnership with another passionate local teacher for eight successful years from 2010. In 2016, after having her third child, it was time for another shift, and following her belief in serving her local community and a mission to walk to work, she opened Chapel Allerton Pilates. Claire is a Polestar Educator and host for Polestar in the North of England and runs an apprenticeship program bridging the gap between training and teaching. In 2018, Claire expanded on an existing venture and founded Hosted By Movement Education as part of her mission to build awareness and participation locally and globally.
