Southwark has 33 reformer studios on this page, and they fall into three fairly distinct groups. The riverside strip from South Bank to Bermondsey has 13, many of them aimed at people who work nearby: gyms such as Third Space Tower Bridge and Fitness First in the Cottons Centre, 1Rebel on Upper Ground, and small studios like Curve Pilates above Borough High Street, where classes are capped at five.
In the middle of the borough, Camberwell has four studios and Walworth and Elephant and Castle three more, including Tempo 301's Elephant Park studio. Artichoke Pilates and Beyond Pilates are the places for close, rehab-minded teaching.
The south of the borough is more residential. Peckham has five studios, covered in our Peckham guide, and the Dulwiches have seven, from LevelOut and Casa Core around Lordship Lane to Reanimate Movement at Dulwich College Sports Club, which you don't need to be a member to use. Rotherhithe is the gap, with only Fitnation near Surrey Quays.
Prices and offers are as published by each studio when we last checked – confirm on their website before booking.
