    Rachel

  • "Upbeat, but I felt like the instructor was seriously trying to teach us the basics and get the most out of us (even though it was a beginners class). The facility is spotless; everything started on time and ended on time. It all felt very professionally approached."

    Lisa

  • "A lot of fun and hard work. Can’t wait to take another class!"

    Karen

  • "Stuart is a professional in every sense of the word. She knows how to push you and she knows when to let you have that off day. She knows pilates and movement better than any instructor I have encountered in a long time -- and I have taken pilates for 15 years at different places. She brings joy, grace, enthusiasm and love to her "work". If you know pilates or would like to try it --- Essential MVMT is your ticket."

FAQs

  • Nope! We welcome beginners!
    Our staff is trained + experienced. We are thrilled to see people of all ages and stages and fitness backgrounds walking into the studio.

  • That depends on you: your current fitness level, your reasons for practicing and your comfort level with new things.

    We do require 10 Essentials or Mixed Level classes for all new clients, and offer a variety of classes so that can choose the best ‘first class’ for you.

    If you’re still not sure which to start with, reach out to us and we are here to help!

  • Wear what you feel comfortable and free to move in! We do suggest wearing a more fitted top and leggings, as loose clothes and sweat pants tend to get in the way while using equipment. Pilates is practiced without shoes. Grip-socks are required.
