Peckham has 5 reformer studios on this page, and four of them are in the southern half of the area, around Peckham Rye. PLUM Pilates is in a railway arch on Brayards Road, part of the Bronze Yard, and Yogarise is upstairs in the Bussey Building on Copeland Road. Bellenden Road has two: Gaia Pilates on the village-like stretch towards East Dulwich, and LevelOut inside the Bellenden Road Business Centre.
The fifth, The mvmnt club, is on Queen's Road by Queens Road Peckham station, which makes it the pick for the north side of SE15 and for Nunhead.
The five suit quite different people. PLUM is the most equipment-heavy, with Balanced Body reformers, towers and chairs and classes capped at ten. Gaia is a small independent where teachers get to know regulars. LevelOut is the chain option, with credits that work at its Camberwell and East Dulwich studios too. Yogarise suits people who already practise yoga, and The mvmnt club mixes reformer with kettlebells and a café.
