Best Reformer Pilates Studios in Barking & Dagenham (2026)
Last updated October 2026 · 2 studios listed
Choice is limited in Barking & Dagenham. We found two places to do reformer Pilates in the borough: one independent studio in Becontree and one council leisure centre in Barking town centre.
BR Reformer Studios on Green Lane, near the Goodmayes border, is the only dedicated studio, and its Cadillac classes are unusual for this part of east London. Abbey Leisure Centre on Bobby Moore Way opened a reformer studio in June 2025, run by Everyone Active with its own reformer membership.
If neither suits, the neighbouring borough pages widen things considerably. Redbridge has women-only Müve and M² Pilates Club in Ilford, Havering has a dozen studios across Romford, Hornchurch and Upminster, and the Newham page covers The Reformery in Forest Gate and several studios around the Royal Docks.
Prices and offers are as published by each studio when we last checked – confirm on their website before booking.

BR Reformer Studios
738 Green Lane, Dagenham RM8 1YX
Reformer studioBeginner friendly
BR Reformer Studios is a boutique studio on Green Lane in Becontree, near the Goodmayes border, and the only independent reformer studio in the borough. Alongside beginner and mixed-ability reformer classes it runs Cadillac classes, which are rare locally, plus private and duet sessions. Classes are small and the studio describes itself as designed with women in mind. Class packs bring the price down further, and the space can be hired for hen parties and events. A strong, good-value choice for Dagenham and Chadwell Heath.
