I started pilates with Nolan and Jade two years ago after having my second child. I wasnt in great shape but the classes are structured in such a way that they start from where you are, and everyone is at different levels. Ive found this class has given me confidence to take up other sports, and it also gives me a thorough weekly work out of all muscle groups and a great nights sleep. Nolan and jade are amazing instructors who make time during their classes to provide one to one instruction so you know your doing the movements properly to maximise their effectiveness. Its a great weekly hours investment and excellent value.

Stretch Pilates is an absolute life-saver - I would not, for anything, miss my two classes a week with Jade (now on line - they were in the gym). Jade moves from one movement to the next with consummate skill and continuous, graceful guidance so that one's body eases into greater flexibility without one being aware of the journey she is taking you - that is until it comes to an end and you realise you are standing straighter, have better balance, a stronger back or whatever it is she has been working on. Even when not in a 'live' class, her comments as you do the exercises makes you think she is watching you - she is so professional that she knows exactly where the weak points are likely to be. It is a class for every age - my daughter is 30, I am 69 and we both really benefit from it.

Jade's Stretch Fit Pilates classes are an excellent way to tone the body and get back into shape. Her understanding of the human body and how it works is brilliant. The sessions are scientific with a human touch. I've learnt so much about the musculoskeletal make-up of the body from her. Don't be mistaken into thinking the classes are heavy going though, Jade injects a sense of humour and fun into each session which has everyone feeling at ease. Stretch Fit Pilates keep you fit whilst keeping you smiling! UDATE - the Nolan Experience: After taking many lessons with Jade I decided to take the plunge and have a sports massage therapy session with Nolan. For those of you reading this who dont know, Jade and Nolan are the husband and wife team behind Stretch Fit Pilates and Fitness. If you feel uncomfortable having your body minutely examined then I would recommend, if you can, overcoming that feeling because the benefits outweigh massively the fleeting feeling of discomfort being being examined. Nolan will assess you in a friendly, caring but clinical manner. Thankfully he has a brilliant sense of humour and coped with my rather chaotic mental gymnastics as I skipped back and forth through my history of incidents and accidents. He took a full history of me before then looking at my posture and getting me to stand and sense my own posture. This is quite interesting as I became aware of how my body was working (or not!). After he and I learnt about how I was, Nolan then set about getting me straightened out. This took time but in no way did Nolan rush things. Instead he set me on doing a series of movements so that my posture and body alignment could be fully tested and the path to realignment (if not enlightenment!) began. No fancy gadgets, no gimmicks. Its simply through working with your body. Pushing yourself gently to your limits and then walking to sense the changes. The fact that Im writing this with my feet planted fully on the floor is incredible. From being very lopsided I became, through Nolans careful and patient training, straighter and more upright in a very short space of time. The fact that I have been able to get up and move without foot or leg pain is incredible! My unusually bony feet are slightly less bony now. Ive got my exercises to do before I go back and have another session with him. In that short space of time hes done more for me than several months of seeing a chiropractor or physiotherapist. If youre in Nottinghamshire and youve tried other therapies and theyve not worked, I strongly recommend that you try one session with Nolan. You might not be walking in the air but you will be walking tall, straight and properly on the earth. I cant recommend the combination of Jade and Nolan enough. Their company helps make people healthy again through their own bodies. Go on, give them a try, your body (and feet!) will thank you! If I could give double 5 stars I would.
