Provision Studio owner Margaret Virden, originally from Montgomery, AL, fell in love with Pilates in college (Mississippi State University), taking classes all four years until she graduated and moved to D.C. She tried many different workout classes during her four years in D.C., but Reformer Pilates always remained her favorite. On weekends she began traveling to New York City to train at Pilates Academy International under world renowned instructors and educators. She eventually returned to the South to work as a Pilates instructor and would go on to create Accelerate with Lacy Arant, owner of Midtown Pilates in Starkville, MS.

Her comprehensive certification includes Pilates Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels, TRX, Pilates Suspension Method, Core-Align, Barre, Jumpboard, Rebounder, and small props. Margret is a master instructor on all Pilates apparatuses and has specialty certifications in Pre/Post Natal, Post-Rehab, and the Pink Ribbon (Breast Cancer Survivor) Program. Margaret founded Provision Studio in April 2018 to bring Reformer Pilates, Functional Movement, and safe & effective cardio to Birmingham. Margaret also Co-founded The Onyx Method in 2020, an online movement studio where they offer online classes, instructor training, and education!
