Meet Viviane...
I'm Viviane, owner at Viva Fitness. I also answer to Vivi or Viv.
I have been teaching since April 2012 and my classes are Rebound at 6.30pm and HiiT at 7.30pm on Mondays, Pilates from 10am-11am on Tuesdays, Pilates at 9.30am on Wednesdays and on Thursdays at 5.50pm and 6.55pm. I also teach Pilates on Fridays from 11am-12pm and Rebound on Saturdays at 8.30am and Pilates at 9.30am.
I used to love all things high impact and fast moving until I got injured, now I love mindful movement being aware of how our bodies move, connecting breath to movement and strengthening our bodies from the inside out. I have found this to be very beneficial to ease anxiety, depression and general aches and pains. I’m a great believer in keeping my mind healthy through exercise.
Pilates and Yoga make me feel present and in the moment, I feel a sense of freedom and peace during my practice, I love the way it challenges me both physically and mentally, it’s definitely my therapy and time out from everything that’s going on in the world!
I love cake and an afternoon snooze 😊 and I’m bilingual (Swiss/German).
I am passionate about helping others overcome personal struggles with mental health as well as physical health, helping people get out of pain, move more freely and feel good about themselves.

Meet Claire
Claire has been teaching Pilates classes at Viva Fitness for one year. Claire loves teaching just as much as taking part and says Pilates and Yoga make her feel calm and relaxed. With a special interest in taking care of her body by strengthening and lengthening, you can expect to try a mix up of both Pilates and Yoga in her classes on occasion, because they go well together and letting go feels right.
Claire’s other passions include painting and restoring furniture – she loves to make something out of nothing or give a piece of furniture a new lease of life.
You will notice Claire’s bright UV pink hair! Claire has a great sense of fun and admits she can be a bit scatty but she has a heart of gold and will help anyone out if she can. She loves a chat and interacting with the students because they are all so lovely!
Claire gets satisfaction out of knowing she’s helped someone, even if it takes time, when the end result is just great!
As Joseph Pilates says “In 10 sessions you will feel the difference. In 20 sessions you will see the difference. And in 30, you will be on your way to having a whole new body.”
