Brentwood has eight places offering reformer Pilates, and they fall into two clear groups. Three sit in or just off the town centre: Core Club on the High Street, BED at 149B High Street and Zero Gravity on St Thomas Road. The rest are spread north and south, with BED Shenfield on Hutton Road, Reformology's garden studio in Shenfield, Sixth Soul in Hutton and The Reformery inside the tennis club at Little Warley.
The styles differ more than the addresses. The two BED studios run 45-minute classes set to music, while The Reformery, which opened in 2026, goes for slower, deliberate sessions of up to eight. Core Club keeps every class to seven people. Sixth Soul adds tower and Wunda Chair classes, and Reformology teaches one-to-one only. Becky of Gr8 Form, who also teaches at SPACE, offers private sessions too, though it is worth checking she currently has a reformer slot before booking.
If none of those suit, SPACE in Ingatestone teaches a strength-led reformer method, and Soft in Love in West Horndon runs jumpboard, over-60s and men-only classes.
A BED franchise studio on Shenfield's Hutton Road, close to Shenfield station. Like other BED sites it runs short, music-led reformer classes where everyone works on the same choreography but sets their own spring resistance, so beginners and regulars share the room. It has one of the fullest timetables in the borough, starting as early as 6am, and weekend slots regularly sell out. Well suited to Shenfield and Hutton commuters wanting high-energy classes before or after work.
Classes
group reformer, reformer to music, baby-friendly classes
The Brentwood High Street outpost of BED, a franchise network that runs reformer classes choreographed to music. Sessions are 45 minutes, synchronised and fast-paced, with beds adjusted by spring tension so mixed abilities can train together. The timetable is busy from early morning to 8pm on weekdays, plus weekend mornings. Several town-centre car parks are a few minutes' walk away. Suits people who want an energetic, cardio-leaning reformer workout rather than a slow classical class.
Core Club's second studio sits on Brentwood High Street, following its original site in Gidea Park. It is a boutique, reformer-only space where every class is capped at seven people, so instructors can keep a close eye on form. The timetable runs seven days a week and classes are pitched at all levels, with intensity graded within each session. A good pick for town-centre residents who want a polished small-group studio within walking distance of the shops and station.
Part of the Zero Gravity chain, which runs around 16 small studios across London and the Home Counties. Classes use the company's own 'Ultra Reformer' machine and are taught in intimate groups. The Brentwood studio is on St Thomas Road, a short walk from the High Street. Pricing is block-based, getting considerably cheaper per class with larger blocks, and new clients can book a free first class. Suits people who like a consistent branded format and may train at other Zero Gravity sites.

Reformer studioBeginner friendlyIntro offer
A new boutique studio opened in 2026 within Brentwood Hard Court Tennis Club in Little Warley, south of the town centre. It positions itself at the calmer end of the market, with slower, deliberate reformer classes of up to eight people and a post-class wellness area serving ceremonial-grade matcha. Private one-to-one sessions are offered individually or in blocks of six. Handy for Warley and south Brentwood residents, and for anyone who prefers a quieter, restorative style over high-tempo classes.
An established equipment studio in Hutton, between Shenfield and Billericay, with free on-site parking. Alongside reformer classes it runs tower-and-reformer fusion sessions and Wunda Chair classes, which it says no other Essex studio offers. Beginners start in dedicated FLOW sessions, and instructors are qualified for pregnancy and postnatal clients, with a Mums and Babies option too. Men are welcome (under 6ft 3in for the reformers). A strong choice for anyone wanting variety beyond the reformer itself.
Classes
group reformer, tower, wunda chair, beginner (FLOW), pre/postnatal, mums & babies
Reformology is a private home studio in a purpose-built, air-conditioned garden cabin in Shenfield, run by a STOTT-trained instructor. Sessions are one-to-one and built around the client's goals, whether that is strength, flexibility or recovery from injury. The room has two Merrithew reformers plus a tower, arc barrel and stability chair, and there is off-street parking. Best for anyone who wants individual attention or is returning from a back or joint problem rather than a group class.
Gr8 Form is the brand of a Brentwood-based Pilates instructor who also teaches at SPACE Brentwood. She runs mat-based group classes in Brentwood and offers private one-to-one sessions, which have in the past included reformer work. There is no standalone website, so booking is by message through Instagram or phone. Best viewed as an option for people who want a personal instructor rather than a studio timetable; confirm reformer availability before booking.
