"Essential has the absolute BEST instructors and classes in Central Alabama! I am a physical therapist and have been doing Pilates for 20+ years. The instructors have exceptional training and expertise, are able to adapt movements to your needs (if you have an injury, are pregnant or postpartum, etc.), and they are so much fun! They have classes for all skill levels and on all different types of equipment, which makes exercising engaging & customized. Thanks to Essential, I safely returned to exercising postpartum and have gained strength & confidence that I have never had before. I gave them my highest recommendation. Come check them out!"

"Such a great place to do Pilates! Awesome instructors who challenge you without pushing you beyond your limits. If you’ve been considering Pilates then give Essential MVMT + Pilates a try - you won’t regret it!"

"Essential MVMT is the most incredible space for Pilates no matter your level. Stuart has created an amazing and encouraging environment. She is the best Pilates instructor (and quite honestly group fitness instructor) that I’ve ever had the pleasure of taking a class from. I’ve followed her through a few different studios throughout the years. Can’t recommend here enough!!!"
