I particularly appreciate how the instructions in all the classes are consistently amazing, offering the perfect balance of clear guidance and motivating encouragement, which really helps deepen my practice.

Plus, their competitive pricing makes high-quality Reformer Pilates accessible to everyone. It's more than just a studio; it's a wonderful, supportive community. And then there's Abby, the incredible founder. If you ever join one of her Reformer classes, get ready for an hour packed with positive energy, serious sweat, and a fantastic, funky soundtrack. Just be warned: you'll also become intimately familiar with some of the slowest countdowns and the frequent command to 'HOLD!'

I've loved coming to East of Eden ever since I moved to Walthamstow. It's a little haven that has provided me with an excellent selection of classes and great teachers in a really welcoming environment. As a new mum, it's also been central to my recovery and social life with its wonderful postpartum subscription. The staff are brilliant too. I feel very lucky that this is my local studio!

East of Eden is a fantastic studio - I originally started coming here for spin but have been able to try a whole range of classes and enjoyed all of them. The instructors and front of desk staff are always friendly and welcoming. In the future, I’d love to see more themed spin classes and bigger changing areas, but those are minor points. Their recent LGBTQ fundraiser exemplified how much they care about serving community and I look forward to watching them grow!
