FS8, the revolutionary fitness brand blending Pilates, Tone, and Yoga, proudly announces the opening of its first South East Asia and Singapore studio at Upper Thomson. This marks another milestone in the brand’s global growth, bringing a new dimension of mindful, strength-driven training to the city’s vibrant fitness community.
Founded as an extension of F45 Training — one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises in the world — FS8 launched in April 2021 to meet rising demand for innovative, low-impact yet high-performance workouts. F45 itself was established in 2013 in Sydney, Australia, and has since scaled into a global powerhouse with more than 2,801 franchises sold across 63 countries and 1,555 studios opened. Recognizing a gap in the market for holistic strength and mindful movement, FS8 was born to redefine how communities experience Pilates, Yoga, and functional training.
“We believe in the transformative power of strength — mental and physical.” – The FS8 Brand Belief
A First for Singapore: FS8 Upper Thomson
The new Singapore studio, nestled in the charming enclave of Upper Thomson, is designed to elevate the FS8 experience, featuring state-of-the-art facilities and a welcoming community-driven space. Spanning 1900sf, the studio is equipped with 18 reformers, alongside ample space for mat work, functional strength training, and mindful recovery.
Unique Workouts, Limitless Variety
Each workout at FS8 is built on eight scientific elements to ensure a balance of strength, endurance, flexibility, and recovery. With over 5,000 exercises and counting, no two workouts are ever the same. The foundation of FS8’s programming is structured around the following six signature classes that clients in Singapore can look forward to experiencing:
- ReformX – Dynamic reformer flows that sculpt the body with progressive overload, enhancing strength, endurance, and control.
- Remix – A powerhouse session that fuses reformer burn, mat precision, and heart-pumping cardio — the ultimate all-in-one class.
- FS8 Original – Pilates reimagined. Precision, posture, and core strength combined with FS8’s signature energy.
- FS8 Flex – Longer sets, heavier lifts, and power-driven endurance. Strength meets style in this dumbbell-focused session.
- Blast – Cardio, FS8 style. Sweat, speed, and spicy core work, designed for high heart rates without high impact.
- FS8 Yoga Restore – A gentle flow that restores balance, flexibility, and range of motion through mindful stretching.
Driving the Launch
To celebrate the Singapore debut, FS8 Upper Thomson hosted a special launch class for media and early members led by special guest coach Jo Gomez, FS8’s newly appointed Director of Athletics – Pilates. Hailing from the United States with more than 20 years of fitness industry experience, Gomez brings extensive expertise in Pilates programming and trainer development. Her leadership will further enrich FS8’s training methodology and expand its Pilates offerings globally.
“We’re thrilled to bring FS8 to Singapore,” said Gomez. “This city has such an inspiring energy, and FS8’s unique blend of reformer training, strength, and recovery will resonate deeply with people looking for workouts that not only challenge the body but also restore balance to everyday life.”
Combining the best of Pilates, Tone, and Yoga, FS8 offers a unique training experience rooted in mindful movement and strength. With a rapidly expanding global footprint, FS8 is redefining community fitness for the modern age individual.
