FS8 Fitness Studio’s Grand Opening in Ballston Featuring Olympic Medalist

Introducing a new fitness destination in Ballston: FS8, a studio that combines the best of Pilates, yoga, and low-impact training. Located at 4001 9th Street N., the new space opened its doors with a celebratory event featuring Olympic diving medalist Kassidy Cook.

FS8 is known for its focus on reformer Pilates and offers multiple group workout classes tailored to enhance strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. The studio hosted its grand opening with Cook, a silver medalist at the 2024 Olympics, who also serves as a brand ambassador and coach for FS8.

FS8 offers distinct workout formats, including the ‘ignite’ class that emphasizes resistance training, and the ‘ReformX’, which is solely focused on reformer exercises. Their methodology revolves around blending scientifically-backed movements that incorporate elements from Pilates, tone, and yoga to foster physical and mental well-being.

The studio’s name reflects its philosophy: “FS” stands for “Functional Style,” while the “8” symbolizes the eight essential movements pivotal to low-impact training. Their commitment is to help participants improve strength, stability, mobility, and overall fitness.

To encourage new members, FS8 is currently offering an introductory trial: for just $59, you can enjoy five classes, along with coaching, access to digital fitness resources, and in-app nutrition support. There’s also a discounted membership available starting at $60 every two weeks.

As the latest addition to Ballston’s vibrant fitness scene, FS8 joins a variety of gyms and boutique studios, enhancing the enriching options available to health enthusiasts in the neighborhood.

Owned by Apex Wellness Group, which also manages the F45 Training franchise, FS8 boasts multiple locations nationwide, ensuring a consistent and high-quality fitness experience across the board.
