Welcome to
Evolve Strong Coaching
We help women find resilience and longevity through building strength of every kind
Hi, I'm Claire!
Strength Coach, Competitive Powerlifter, Former Research Scientist, and Founder of Evolve Strong Coaching
I started coaching as a side‑hustle while working full-time in scientific research. After juggling two demanding careers, I made the decision to leave the lab and commit fully to coaching. I’ve never looked back.
One Thing I Understand Better Than Anyone:
With over 12 years in the fitness industry, as an athlete and as a coach working with dozens of women, I’ve come to understand this one thing really well:
How to make women strong for the long haul.
Not just for the next holiday or competition - for life.
Why I Built Evolve Strong
After years of coaching women through mid-life, menopause, career changes, and all that comes alongside living a high-responsibility life, I developed a blueprint that helps women build real strength and muscle in order to protect their mobility, independence, and resilience.
This is about becoming the kind of woman for whom strength training is a key part of her identity. A woman who has confidence, mental and physical resilience, and the peace and harmony that comes with that.
My Coaching Philosophy
With my academic background, my experience as an elite competitive lifter, and my years of coaching so many different women, I bring a level of thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail that goes far beyond the average personal trainer.
You’re an intelligent, self-aware woman. You deserve better than a minimally qualified 20‑year‑old PT, who has abs, but no wisdom or work ethic.
My Hopes For You
With Evolve Strong, I want you to become stronger than you’ve ever been - physically, mentally, emotionally. I want your strength to become part of your identity.
For some women, that means competing in powerlifting or chasing big strength milestones like pull-ups or a 100kg deadlift.
For others, it means finally understanding what’s been holding them back so they can move through it and fulfil their potential.
Wherever you’re starting, there is a path for you here.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
"Absolutely, unreservedly recommended"
"Working with Claire is the best gift you can give yourself if you're a woman who wants to be strong. In a world full of fitness influencers and PTs jumping on the menopause bandwagon, Claire is the real deal. No faff, no gimmicks, just a great woman helping other women be their best selves." - Nikki
"I've got stronger and more confident"
"My mobility/flexibility/strength in some joints has improved. I was scared to jump when I started due to recurring achilles pain but now I am doing box jumps. I was going to use weights at home initially but eventually progressed to the gym because I outgrew the equipment I had at home. Gym was scary at first, but now I love using the barbell!" - Tanya
"Go for it - you will be surprised what you can achieve"
"Claire has a lot to offer. She also taught me Olympic weightlifting being both a certified British Weightlifting and British Powerlifting coach. She helped me manage peri-meno symptoms with advice and experience working with other women in my age group. It is hard work but absolutely worth it. If you are considering either the group training or the 1-to-1 training, I would absolutely go for it " - Michelle
"100% Would recommend Claire to anyone"
"I've just done my first powerlifting competition, and never did I think I would be doing this at my age (47), two years ago before I started this coaching. I am stronger, more confident, and definitely have more purpose and goals in my training now " - Sarah
