SCOUT FRIENDS SERIES - Meet Claire & Jess!

Claire & Jessica

How long have you known each other for?

We met in February when I sat down next to Claire. We' d done a few classes together and I recognized her; I just, I think I freaked her out. Going ' hi,' and it' s been fun since then!

Any favourite class you both love to attend together, and why?

We normally do the Tuesday class with Jaimie and we also love doing Tahlia' s jump class on a Saturday. We' ve just been a bit slack with that recently!

What are your favourite Pilates positions?

Jess: I definitely love Feet in straps, which I feel like is a bit of a cliché answer, but my second fave would be like anything to do with like abs and balance because I love a challenge.

Claire: I love anything kind of legs-related, so lunges, single- leg footwork, all of that is my favorite!

Enough Scout chats, what’s your favourite post-class thing to do?

Jess: Normally on a Saturday, Claire and I will go down to matinee or we' ve been going to Super Freak, yeah, and grab a coffee and just kind of like debrief on the week; or if we haven' t seen each other much that week.

What’s one thing you love about the other?

Claire: I love Jess’s confidence. I mean, you can even just tell from when we first met, she approached me first, and I feel like she' s just always making new friends and always chatting to new people!

Jess: Claire is so kind and a great listener. I feel like I come in every single time that I see her with a rant about something, and she' s just always listening and giving me great advice.

What’s one thing you both disagree on?

Claire: We don' t disagree on anything really; um, probably just curtsy lunges. I hate them, and Jess loves them! (laughs)
