With the FS8 Manly studio finally set up, the revolutionary fitness facility invites the Manly community to sign up for a limited-slots, free seven-day trial scheduled to begin immediately on the opening on the 17th of April.
To celebrate the launch of FS8 studio in Manly, 50 slots for “foundation members,” who will enjoy the use of the facilities at a discounted rate, will be open. Launch week also includes free classes. Instructions can be found in the Facebook post below.
FS8 gets its curious name from three components that make up the movement: the F stands for “functional”, the S represents “style”, and lastly, the 8 refers to the eight key modalities that form the core of the movement. Each element has been designed to work together, remixing pilates, yoga and tone to maximise their efficacy and create something entirely new.
The Australian surfing icon Mick Fanning, who serves as an FS8 ambassador, advocates for the movement and aims to open his own studio in Byron Bay further down the line. The surfer first took up yoga over twenty years ago to manage his scoliosis, placing a heavy emphasis on how weights aren’t everything, and that people must develop flexibility by lengthening their muscles.

According to their website, FS8 can be described as pilates rocked to the core, yoga stretched to the limit, and tone with more pump and less pomp. In essence, the movement aims to focus entirely on fitness without the fluff by offering its members 30 different workouts and 2,800 exercises.
FS8 Manly can be found at Shop 1&2, 54 West Esplanade, will open Monday to Saturday from 6:00 a.m. onwards with the exception of Saturday, which opens at 7:00 a.m. Visit their website for more information.
