East of Eden: Reformer Pilates, RIDE (spin indoor cycling), Barre, Hot Yoga and Yoga - (Near , UK)

4 /5 Shukura: Shoutout to the front house staff especially Cristina who is always so welcoming whenever i come to a class. Shoutout to the following trainers: Saf- fire playlist and love the partner strength training workouts Georgia- brings positive energy always in the Ride classes and love the moves we do Kage- love the energy. reminds us we are stronger than we think. (unfortunately due to my schedule I can’t do classes as much as I would like with Kage) Sarah- loved the gentle yoga introduced me to a type of yoga I did not realise I love so much! Only reason this is not a 5/5 is because I think with the yoga classes, there could be more of a variety as it is mainly flows. This means (selfishly) for me who prefers slow moving more yin focused yoga, I don’t have a lot of choice. Ashatanga used to be a thing here but stopped. Wish there were more mat Pilates options. If there was another afternoon one that would be good! The credit system is quite confusing £90 for 4 sessions but £99 (6 month contract) for the whole month. I recommend this studio to people but they want to purchase credits but get turned off by how expensive it is. It would be good quarterly to receive a feedback form to those who might not feel confident sharing their thoughts in person. Perhaps people can scan a QR code at the front desk.

5 /5 Julia Chapman: Ive loved coming to East of Eden ever since I moved to Walthamstow. Its 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, its 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!

5 /5 Farhad: East of Eden Studio has quickly become my favourite place to practice. What truly sets it apart is the incredible sense of community – the friendly staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and connected. 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. Whether youre a beginner or more advanced, youll find a wide range of classes to challenge and nurture you. Plus, their competitive pricing makes high-quality Reformer Pilates accessible to everyone. Its more than just a studio; its a wonderful, supportive community. And then theres 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: youll also become intimately familiar with some of the slowest countdowns and the frequent command to HOLD!

5 /5 Louisa: East of Eden is hands down one of my favourite places in Walthamstow. I’ve been attending classes off and on for the past 3 years. Since becoming pregnant and giving birth, it’s become one of the highlights of my week. The range of pre and post natal classes are amazing. I attend solo now and enjoy taking time out as a new parent to feel energised and strong. A special shout out to Christina who is so welcoming on the front desk and Tara and Kage whose classes are the best! Always great tunes every time. Thanks Abby and team.

5 /5 Catrin Trudgill: 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!
