Meet the Team
We’ve been running (literally) since 2016 and in that time our team has expanded!
Welcome to Active Mummies, I'm Claire!
I set up Active Mummies back in 2016 when my second son was just about to turn 1. I spent my maternity leave retraining to become a personal trainer as I had this strong vision of starting my own business to help other new mums find their passion for fitness again after having children.
I understand first hand how hard it can be to find the time and energy to exercise after having babies and how daunting it can be to come to a class like Active Mummies.
As a personal trainer and coach my approach is all about balance. Life is to be enjoyed, which in my opinion means being able to enjoy a healthy balance between food and drink, and exercise. I have a passion in helping women enjoy exercise and seeing the benefit from it both physically but more importantly mentally.
I also have the help of two fantastic coaches Sarah and Ella. Find out more about them below.

I'm Sarah!
After I had my tiny gorgeous human and my role came up for redundancy I took the leap to work flexibly doing something I love! As someone who has always loved staying fit, Active Mummies is the perfect role for me.
As someone who has experienced the side effects of pregnancy such as diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction, I understand the ways we have to adapt when we return to working out post birth. You don’t have to suffer in silence so I specialise in pre and post-natal personal training!
My main focus and passion in the fitness space is Strength Training, I really do love lifting weights and watching the impact and benefits it has on other women.
I am proud to share the same vision as Claire, to provide an opportunity for mums of any age to achieve their personal fitness goals.
5 years on and I’m also proud to hold a 3rd Age Woman certificate, focussing on health, nutrition and exercise during Peri and Post Menopause. This insight has been invaluable because the benefits of exercise are numerous for women and I want to spread the word!
I'm Ella!
I’m a newly qualified personal trainer specialising in pre and post-natal fitness! I am also a qualified nutrition and weight management consultant and a mental wellbeing first aider.
As a mum of two young daughters I know what it’s like to try to manage the balance! I’m always playing football, running a variety of races including road races and Wolf runs.
I joined Active Mummies to help other mums find that balance between being a healthy mum and feeling like your best self. Motherhood can change us both physically and mentally, and the classes Active Mummies offer is a great environment for those wanting to get into exercise after baby and beyond.
