When Mayara Reina opened the doors to FS8 Plantation, she wasn’t just launching a studio—she was creating a second home. Mayara’s story is one built on passion, purpose, and a deep belief that movement can change lives.
Mayara’s love for Pilates began five years ago while living in California. When she eventually returned to Florida, she struggled to find a studio that felt like the right fit—until she met another FS8 franchise owner in the area.
“It was the moment everything clicked,” she recalls. “I fell in love with the brand. I fell in love with the whole concept.”
For Mayara, FS8 offers something she never found anywhere else: the perfect blend of technology, coaching, and clarity.
“You’re not just getting a coach. You have the visual support of the TVs. I’m a very visual person—I need to see the movement. That combination is what makes FS8 stand out from any other company.”
As a new owner, what struck Mayara most was the support behind the franchise system.
“So many people try to do things alone and end up feeling lost,” she says. “Being part of this community helped me do things the right way. The guidance is incredible.”
FS8’s systems, tools, and technology gave her confidence from day one, empowering her to build something with structure, purpose, and long-term potential.
Behind her studio is a deeply personal mission. As a mother of two who has experienced her own weight fluctuations and body changes, Mayara is committed to creating a space where every member feels safe.
“When people walk into FS8 Plantation, I want them to feel like this is their second home,” she says. “You’re safe. You’re supported. My team and I are here to guide you and help you achieve your goals.”
That sense of belonging is woven into every detail of the studio experience—from the welcoming environment to the personalized coaching to the inclusive, uplifting atmosphere.
Set in the heart of South Florida, FS8 Plantation sits within one of the most culturally rich regions in the country.
“We have so many people from around the world, so many languages—it’s like a pot of gold here,” Mayara smiles. “I’m excited that I get to meet so many wonderful people from everywhere.”
For her, FS8 isn’t just a fitness studio. It’s a cultural crossroads, a space where people from all walks of life come together to move, strengthen, and connect.
Once Mayara discovered FS8, she dove in wholeheartedly.
“I found a community, and I just dove into the pool. I’m here. I’m here to stay. I love it, and I’m excited.”
Her enthusiasm is contagious—and it’s exactly the kind of energy that fuels the success of FS8 franchisees across the globe.
For anyone considering investing in an FS8 franchise, Mayara offers one simple message:
“Go for it. The unknown can be nerve-wracking, but FS8 lays everything out for you—step by step, holding your hand. There’s nothing to fear. They’re going to guide you. They’re going to help you be successful. They’re going to be there for you.”
Mayara’s story is a powerful example of what happens when passion meets opportunity—and when the right brand provides the support to bring a vision to life.
Her FS8 studio isn’t just a business.
It’s a home. A community. A place where people feel seen, supported, and inspired.
And for future franchisees, it’s a reminder that launching something meaningful is possible—especially when you’re backed by a brand built on guidance, innovation, and connection.
