Chigwell has two places to do reformer Pilates, in different parts of the area. Fitness HQ is an independent gym in the grounds of Chigwell Hall on the High Road, with a dedicated reformer studio fitted with Align-Pilates beds. BoxLab is on Tomswood Hill towards Hainault, running reformer classes of no more than four alongside boxing and personal training.
The two suit different people. Fitness HQ has separate beginner and mixed-level classes seven days a week, and you can book reformer without a full gym membership. BoxLab's small numbers make it closer to a semi-private session.
Buckhurst Hill and Loughton widen the choice considerably. Cór and Chilli Pilates are both on Queen's Road in Buckhurst Hill, and Loughton adds Cult Pilates on the High Road and Zero Gravity on Church Hill.
BoxLab is a small private training studio on Tomswood Hill, at the Hainault end of Chigwell, located on the aesthetics floor of a dental practice. Alongside personal training and boxing it runs reformer classes limited to four people, plus private one-to-one or two-to-one reformer sessions and mat Pilates. The tiny class sizes make it a strong option for beginners or anyone wanting near-personal attention at a group-class format. Also within easy reach of Woodford, Loughton and Buckhurst Hill.
