Introducing: Claire Petrie

I am 47 years old and Mum to two boys aged 10 and 7. I live in Bristol (born and bred), and I really love running. I dreamt of a career in fitness for years as I spent hours dreaming up ways that I could ‘run for a living’, so when the joys of 2020 hit and the world went sideways I decided it was time to bite the bullet and give it a go. After all, you’re never too old to try something new.

Now a qualified Personal Trainer and LiRF, I am on a mission to help people find joy through fitness, movement and connection. I am dedicated to taking the scary out of the gym, and the competition out of running, because I believe that any form of exercise is PLAY time – it should be fun!
