Barnet is one of the better-served outer boroughs, with 32 places for reformer Pilates, though nine of them are private one-to-one teachers working from home studios or clinics. The listings run the length of the borough, from Cricklewood and Golders Green in the south to High Barnet and Hadley Wood at the top.
The Finchley Road corridor is busy: Golders Green has four, including Eternite's three-person classes and the women-only M&L Pilates, and Zero Gravity has a studio a little further up in Temple Fortune. North Finchley and Whetstone add seven between them, from Exhale's teacher-training studio on Ballards Lane to Elite Reformer and The Studio N20. Mill Hill has four, among them a Zero Gravity inside Finchley Golf Club and Virgin Active at Mill Hill East.
Classical studios are well represented too, with PilatesNation in East Finchley and Pilates by the Green in Hampstead Garden Suburb. We found nothing in Colindale, Burnt Oak or the Barnet side of Edgware.
Prices and offers are as published by each studio when we last checked – confirm on their website before booking.
