Strength & Mobility, Redefined

Built for the growing demand in Pilates-informed training

The Pilates and broader wellness categories continue to attract consumer interest, but category growth alone does not determine studio performance. FS8’s opportunity is its specific proposition: low-impact training with a stronger, more functional and more varied point of difference.

OWNER STORIES FROM AROUND THE GLOBE
“My favorite part of being an FS8 franchisee is being a part of peoples Health & Wellness journey. I love being a part of an amazing community, meeting new members everyday, and being part of a global network. We have a very supportive and encouraging environment. When our members come in, it builds comradery – it really feels like people are sharing their journey and experiences together in each class.”
Elle, FS8 Hurstville
“The reason I invested into FS8 in the first place was that I just really loved the brand, and how supportive it was, and I really loved the community that came with FS8. I think the best thing about being a franchisee for me is also being a manager as well. I’m very hands on with the brand.”
Kirsten, FS8 Ballarat
“I was already an F45 owner, and I went along to FS8 when they first launched it. I really liked it because it was something different. My personal training needed to change as I’ve gotten a little older, so FS8 was something that I was really interested in for myself, but I could also see it being amazing for other people. At FS8 Condell Park, our community is amazing. They’re welcoming, they’re kind, they’re supportive, and they always help new people who come in. I love having the community here around me, and meeting new people all the time.”
Meg, FS8 Condell Park
“My favorite thing about our community here at FS8 Bayswater North is the complete dynamic in ages & fitness levels – we’ve got all walks of life that come into the studio. And when the class starts, none of that matters anymore, because we are just so focused on what we’re doing in our class, in our workout, and it’s beautiful to see everybody working out together and then completing the class all together.”
Jess, FS8 Bayswater North
“The positive part I’ve seen in investing with FS8 is that you have a lot of support. From the moment we started construction, to currently. The support from FS8 HQ has been really great. We were the first studio to open here in the US, and they were really good, very responsive. Helping you through the process, guiding, giving suggestions, setting up support if we ever needed it for opening.”
Daniella + Miguel, FS8 Weston Lakes
