Meet Provision Studio Owner, Margaret Virden
Provision Studio was founded in 2018 by Margaret Virden, a Montgomery, AL native whose love for Pilates began during her college years at Mississippi State University. After graduation, Margaret moved to Washington, D.C., where she explored many fitness styles, but always came back to her favorite—Reformer Pilates.
On weekends, she traveled to New York City to train at Pilates Academy International under world-renowned instructors and educators. After three years, she returned to the South to begin her career as a Pilates instructor, co-creating Accelerate alongside Lacy Arant, owner of Midtown Pilates in Starkville, MS.
Margaret is a master instructor on all Pilates apparatuses and holds comprehensive certifications in Pilates Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels, TRX, Pilates Suspension Method, CoreAlign, Barre, Jumpboard, Rebounder, and small props. She also carries specialty certifications in Pre/Post Natal, Post-Rehab, and the Pink Ribbon Program for Breast Cancer Survivors.
In addition to founding Provision Studio, Margaret co-founded The Onyx Method in 2020—an online movement studio offering classes, instructor training, and continuing education. Her mission has always been clear: to bring safe, effective, and empowering movement through Reformer Pilates, functional strength, and cardio to Birmingham and beyond.
