This guide covers 16 places in central Richmond, Richmond Hill, North Sheen, Kew and East Sheen. Group classes in the town centre stay small: Motion Craft on The Quadrant, opposite the station, caps them at seven, The Pilates Sphere on the first floor of Red Lion Street at ten, and Mindful Pilates on Hill Rise at five. Anthro-Contrology on Sheen Road is reformer-only and assesses newcomers in introductory sessions first.
Third Space, off George Street, has a reformer room of around 20 beds, though only members can book it. Several other central choices teach one-to-one, from Richmond Physiotherapy on Hill Street to Vive Fitness beside Richmond Bridge.
Heading east, Sheen Lane has two equipment studios, The Garage Studio and Pilates Sheen, and CORE LDN on Upper Richmond Road West is run with physiotherapists. RINTO in Dairy Court sells reformer-only memberships, while Boomerang Pilates on Sandycombe Road is the single option in Kew.
Set on Hill Rise between the town centre and Richmond Hill, Mindful Pilates is a fully equipped studio where group reformer classes are capped at five people. Alongside reformer, members can book private 1:1 and duet sessions that use the Cadillac, Wunda Chair and barrels. Class formats range from beginner and mixed-ability levels to strength-focused and sculpt sessions, with memberships and class blocks available. A good fit for anyone who wants very small groups and close supervision.
A first-floor boutique reformer studio on Red Lion Street in central Richmond, a short walk from the station. It took over the premises formerly run as Bootcamp Pilates and now runs several class levels, from dedicated beginner sessions through to advanced, with groups capped at ten so instructors can give individual corrections.

Anthro-Contrology is a small reformer-only studio on Sheen Road, just east of Richmond town centre. Classes are kept small and built around controlled, resistance-based reformer work, and the studio asks newcomers to start with its introductory sessions so the teacher can assess them first. Pricing is flexible, with drop-ins, class packs and monthly plans including an unlimited option. Suits people who want a calm, personal setting rather than a large boutique chain.
Motion Craft is a reformer and movement studio on The Quadrant, opposite Richmond station. Group reformer classes are limited to seven people, and the studio also offers private Pilates, private training and sport-performance sessions run by its founder-teacher. The small class cap and station-side location make it convenient for commuters who want a coached reformer class before or after work.

The studio offers private equipment sessions, rehabilitation classes run by a physiotherapist and small courses.

CORE LDN on Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen brings physiotherapy and Pilates together, with mat and reformer sessions run by physiotherapists and experienced instructors. New clients complete a physio-led initial session before joining classes, so programming takes injuries and goals into account. It also runs retreats. Suited to people who want reformer work with a clinical safety net.

Sertsari is a private training studio on Princes Road, south of Richmond town centre, offering reformer Pilates alongside personal training, boxing and mobility work.

Vive Fitness runs a small wellness studio by Richmond Bridge that combines EMS training, assisted stretching and sports massage with reformer Pilates.
