I’ve had a membership here for about a month. Every class I’ve taken has been so enjoyable. There are screens in the rooms for reference during the workouts, but each class is still very much actively led by an instructor who is independent, explains/models everything, and offers modifications to positions. They are very beginner-friendly and create an inviting environment for folks like me who have never done pilates before now. And the front desk service is great — super helpful with answering questions, explaining policies/procedures, and helping troubleshoot issues with your bookings. Already feeling stronger and so much more confident!

I absolutely love FS8! From the moment I started, I felt welcomed and supported. The instructors are amazing — knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping you get stronger and feel your best.
I started Pilates during a time when I was really focusing on my health and wellness, and FS8 has become such a positive part of that journey. I’ve fallen in love with the workouts and always leave class feeling stronger, happier, and proud of myself.
I also love the variety of the classes and the combination of Pilates, strength, and movement. It challenges you while still being something you actually look forward to doing.
The studio has such a welcoming, uplifting atmosphere, and the community makes it even more special. I’m so grateful I found FS8 and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. ❤️
10/10 — one of the best things I’ve done for myself!
