With the opening of several new studios in the Sunshine State in mere months and the recent completion of a successful global brand campaign, FS8 brings its unique class format and intentional community to more people as it lays the foundation for future growth
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As fall gets underway and the busy holiday season approaches, FS8 – the three-in-one fitness concept that combines Pilates, Tone, and Yoga – is celebrating a momentous season of growth. From the official opening of six studios across the Sunshine State to the successful launch of a global campaign aimed at shining a spotlight on the brand's people-first spirit, FS8 has laid the foundation for a new chapter of expansion and global domination.
Over the past few months, FS8 opened the doors to stunning new studios in Tuskawilla, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Beachwalk, and Plantation, bringing flexibility to Floridians and their workout routines through greater access to the brand's signature 50-minute workouts. The brand is now set to open another new studio in the beautiful city of Davie in the coming weeks.
"Since opening our first Florida location in Weston Lakes, we've received an overwhelming response from members and the community in the market," said Tom Dowd, Chief Executive Officer of FIT House of Brands. "The evaluation of our growth strategy confirmed what we already knew – Florida's dynamic fitness and health-conscious community makes it the perfect region for FS8's expansion. This regional momentum reinforces and reflects the broader brand growth we're seeing globally, brought to life during our recent FS8 Circle event series, where guests came together to celebrate connection, strength, and the community spirit that defines FS8. We're thrilled to bring our innovative three-in-one fitness concept to more Floridians seeking a transformative workout experience."

- Tuskawilla: Located at 5275 Red Bug Lake Road, the studio measures 2,196 square feet and houses 18 reformers
