Debbie McClure

Client Relations Manager
 

👋 A bit about me:
I was inspired to train as a Pilates Instructor in 2021 after attending Andrea’s online classes during lockdown — and I’ve loved being part of the All Active community ever since!

I enjoy staying active — whether it’s walking my dog in the park, playing tennis with friends, or joining Pilates and Ladies’ Strength classes here at All Active. I love meeting new clients and helping them get the most out of their membership.

💡 Favourite thing about my job:

“Every day is different! We’ve built such a lovely community at All Active, and it’s amazing to support people on their fitness and rehab journeys.”

🎉 Fun fact:
I earned my PADI scuba diving certificate before a trip to Thailand… only to realise I’m actually scared of fish 🐠🤣 — so no open-water dives since!

💛 I’m always here to help, so if you need anything — just give me a shout!
