READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE PELVICPRENEUR NEWSLETTERS…
“Hello Claire great Newsletter well done you! The reason you keep going back is the fundamental rule of sales. People buy from people and connection is everything!”
Rob Donnelly
“Can I first of all say how inspiring I that I find your work?! Although I’m not – yet – in the right field of work to take advantage of your training and mentoring, your emails remind me why I’m working towards it! So thank you!”
Elspeth Alexandra
“Hi Claire. I’m always very interested to read what you do. I am sure I’ll pick up lots of ideas. Your newsletters are fantastic.”

Jane Thomas

Let's talk FREE STUFF whilst I’m in Tulip the caravan in Harrogate (we’re here to see Ben Fogle LIVE!) 🙌🏻
This past week, Mik and I have received quite a few FREE things into our lives:
🍺 Last Sunday = 4 free pints of beer from the Landlady at one of our local pubs
🫙 Thursday evening = a jar of homemade mango and apricot chutney from “George”, one of the regulars we chat to at another pub
🧁 Friday morning = a box of homemade cupcakes from our neighbour
Now, you may think that receiving these free things are simply people being “nice” or “saying thank you” etc – that’s fine 👍
But, maybe what you aren’t aware of is the fact that there are LOTS of ways in which you can bring more “stuff” into your life by working on YOU 🥰
You’d agree that “like attracts like” when it comes to signing up clients into your services, right? ✅
And, similarly, I’m sure there have been times in your life when literally NOTHING went your way as well, right? ☠️
We all do things in our life to either encourage, or block abundance, and abundance = free stuff, gifts, money, clients 💰
One of the fundamental things I’m teaching inside my new Magnetic Marketing group coaching program is how to attract more abundance into your life 🤸♀️
Living in a state of lack mindset or lack mentality is a really good way of BLOCKING wealth, and there are some really practical things you can do to work on yourself to switch this around 🙌
Sure, it takes work on your part, but I’m here, holding your hand along the process to enable you to experience more ease with your marketing 🙌
I’m opening up 5 spots in Magnetic Marketing at a discounted price of £197, and if you’d like more info, send me a DM
Module 1’s content (the fundamental stuff I talked about above) has already been loaded into your course console, so you could take the first steps to change right here, right now (if you wanted to) 💻
DM me for more info, and I look forward to seeing how I can help YOU magnetise more clients into your biz more easily 🤗

Cheers! I’m at a beer festival today. “5 UP” stands for “Beers 5% and over”. These 2 are 10% and 13.6% respectively. Happy days! 🍺 😂

Well, that’s a wrap on turning 47 today. I had such a fun day celebrating my birthday. Thank you for the birthday wishes! 🥳 🍺 🍛
Happy birthday to me! Cheers! 🍺 🎂 🥳
I’m celebrating 47 years on earth today, and if last night’s impromptu nip to the pub was anything to go by, I think today will be fun! (Not pictured 😂😉)
I’m having a lazy morning opening cards and presents, coffee with cream (of the Bailey’s variety of course 🥃), maybe a local walk later (weather pending ☔️), then dinner out with Mik this (at a secret location 🤫)
It’s difficult to find restaurants open on Tuesdays, so Mik asked if I wanted to go somewhere that’s a bit of a drive away ON my birthday, or wait until Thursday and go to another restaurant, so of course we’re doing BOTH! 😂😂
To celebrate 47 years, I’m also having a 47% off birthday sale on selected online programs on my website, so enter the coupon “BIRTHDAY” at the checkout, and you’ll get 47% discount 🙌🏻 💰(sale ends midnight tomorrow)
Have fun and enjoy celebrating with me. Woo hoo! 🎉

Here lies 15+ years’ worth of my old lesson plans, all documented, but mostly jotted down on notepaper, sticky notes and the backs of envelopes 📝✉️ 😅😂
Today, I’m prepping for my Fun Intended lesson planning workshop for FitPros, and do you know what? ⁉️ ⁉️
I thought “30 lesson plan ideas” would be enough, but I’ve literally just found 3 x plans that I’d completely forgotten about:
1️⃣ What to do when too many people turn up to class (good problem to have, right?! 😅)
2️⃣ Mad fusion (where you couple one element of fitness with another, and you’re not sure it’ll ever work out, but it does 🤷♀️), PLUS...
3️⃣ I’ve found not 1, but 4 versions of my actual real-life “Abs, Arms and Arseholes” lesson plans (see Reel earlier this week for LOLs 😂)
Of current interest we’ve got this: The Guardian published an article recently that FitPros could use as a guide to create their own “lifestyle factors” style class – this would be fun AND educational, right?! 🙌🎓
And, I’m also sharing 6 x brain-space saving ideas for the BUSY FitPro who wants clever ideas on conserving physical AND mental energy when teaching a full class timetable of group exercise classes each week 🧠
AND, don’t forget that all important BONUS: a 60-minute, no-fail lesson plan template which has been tried and tested in a number of situations and works perfectly for: covering someone else’s class; mixed ability sessions; when lots of newbies join on the same night; or when you were expecting 15 people to arrive for class, and only 2 turn up! 👌

Group exercise classes should be fun, and whilst it’s great to jump on the latest workout trend, and/or feel like you need push your clients, you know your clients best, and you know what works for them 👍🏻

As a FitPro, you know your clients really well. You know their likes, their dislikes, and you know their limitations 👍
If you’re teaching group ex to the mainstream population, there will be some exercises that just aren’t suitable for YOUR clients, right? ✅
It’s not a reflection on your teaching (you cue exercise to clients all day every day), it’s that every FitPro’s client base is different, isn’t it? 🤔
What’s deemed “too easy” for one FitPro’s HIIT class could be more of an “intermediate” level for another FitPro’s circuit session 💪
Some Pilates teachers keep their clients at the higher end of the beginner’s Pilates repertoire simply through preference, whereas other Pilates instructors have clients who could be considered more “advanced” 💯
Teaching group exercise for me was pure FUN. I loved teaching mainstream classes because I knew my clients really well, and these loyal customers were the ones I could experiment on and really have FUN with [insert guinea pig emoji] 🐀
If you’re worried that your clients are getting BORED of your classes, trust me – they’re not (money is coming into your bank account from theirs, regularly, remember 🤑)
Have you considered injecting more FUN into your lesson planning? 🤸♂️
INSTRUCTIONS: Take the exercises that you know work really well for your clients right now, package them up differently, and then deliver them in ways that are FUN for you to teach, and FUN for your clients to experience! 🙌
It’s pretty simple, but very effective, and if you’d like to learn HOW to do this, check out my NEW Fun Intended lesson planning workshop – it’s going to be a hoot! 🦉

CONFESSION: I might’ve had a bit TOO much fun in Canva there yesterday 😬
It’s not until you become a FitPro yourself that you realise actually how much stuff you end up carrying around with you in between classes and clients, right? 😆 💼
I designed this image to make FitPros smile, and judging by the DMs I received via my stories yesterday, it had the desired effect 😀
Something I want to focus on this year is putting the FUN back into fitness, and I’m really excited to be presenting a NEW workshop for FitPros here soon 🙌🏻
It’s called FUN INTENDED, and it’s all about making lesson planning fun again 🤸🏼♂️
It’s aimed at FitPros who teach group exercise classes to the mainstream population, and it’s all about taking the exercises that you know work really well for your clients right now, and packaging them up in new and creative ways that are FUN for you to teach, and FUN for your clients to experience ❤️
Sound good? If so, I could do with your help! 🏳️
Type A, B or C in the comments below to let me know which date/time would suit you best for the Fun Intended Lesson Planning Workshop:
A = Mon 24th April at 1-3pm UK / 8-10am New York / 10pm-midnight Sydney

C = Wed 26th April at 12-2pm UK / 7-9am New York / 9-11pm Sydney
Thank you so much!
Also: did I miss any important FitPro objects in the image? I’m dying to know. Perhaps the kitchen sink…? 😂😂😂
Squeee!! Check out my latest crafty creation: pelvic organs in FELT! Aren’t they the cutest?! 🤩
It’s been DECADES since I’ve picked up a needle and thread 🧵 to create something for fun for myself, but as a kid I used to do cross stich, embroidery and I was a pretty avid dress maker in my teens/early 20’s 👗
Swipe 👈 and you’ll see that I had zero pattern to follow with this project, other than tracing the pelvic organs that came with my pelvic model ✏️ Art is NOT fun for me, but I didn’t give up, I just enlisted my husband’s natural sketching talents when it got a bit hard, and here we are 👨🎨
Why have I created the bowel, uterus and bowel in felt, and put wiggly eyes and smiley faces on them? Well, why not, right? 🤷♀️
Imagine the smile on my next prolapse client’s face when I explain the anatomical relationship these organs have with one another. It’s going to put a smile on their dial, isn’t it? 😁
But, in seriousness, it was fun, and FUN is something I’m injecting much more of this year into both my life and my business, so keep your eyes peeled for more ways that I’ll be putting the fun back into fitness 😍
What do you think? Should I give the trio of organs names? 😅😂😂

Apology incoming! Whoops! 😬
Thank you for voting on my poll earlier this week between “safe hands” and “good hands” when you’re talking to pelvic floor clients, but I got it wrong 🙈
When I first came up with the idea for this NEW product I’m creating, I jotted ideas down in the Notes app on my phone, and looking back at it today, the phrase I wrote down was NEITHER of those 😂
It’s “You’re in GREAT hands with me”, which I think has a much more positive connotation to it, so watch this space for this NEW thing, and thank you, but also I’m sorry, but also thank you too 😅
My NEW stuff has arrived from @hobbycrafthq 🙌🏻
Note: this has NOTHING to do with the new “thing” I’m creating for those of you that work in pelvic floor health 😂
But, can you guess what I need these supplies for…? Let me know in the comments ⬇️
