Balham has seven places for reformer Pilates, stretched along a line from Clapham South down to Tooting Bec. Four are dedicated reformer studios, two are physiotherapy clinics with reformer classes, and one is a private apparatus studio.
The busiest stretch is Balham High Road. Reformer Collective's flagship at number 98-100 has the widest timetable, running seven days a week, while reCentre Health further down at 260 takes a clinical approach. Close to the station, Sixth House on Bedford Hill lets you reserve a specific reformer, and Reform Physio is tucked into Hildreth Street Mews off the market street. At the northern end, Goji on Balham Hill is the handiest for Clapham South.
Heat is a theme here. Goji and Sixth House both have infrared saunas, and Reformer Collective runs infrared-heated sculpt sessions. For smaller groups, Point Pilates on Trinity Road keeps classes to six reformers, and Englishwren teaches private sessions on Nightingale Lane towards Wandsworth Common.
