5 /5 Lee D: I’ve tried every Pilates studio between Boronia and Lilydale, and I can say with absolute confidence that FS8 Bayswater North is the best. From my very first class, I knew I’d found the right place for me.
The workouts are always varied, challenging, and thoughtfully programmed. Every trainer is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in helping you get the most out of each session. Unlike other studios where you might avoid certain instructors, at FS8 I look forward to training with every one of them. They’re always willing to correct form or offer modifications to suit your needs.
Every few months, FS8 runs a challenge—and they’ve been such a great motivator. The fun prizes and rewards are a bonus, but for me the real win has been how they’ve helped me build consistency. I started out doing three classes a week, but after my first challenge encouraged daily attendance, I found myself hooked. Now I come every day.
Pilates has become part of my daily routine—just as integral as having breakfast—and I have Jess and the FS8 team to thank. I’ve never really enjoyed exercise or been able to stick with it before, but it’s been almost two years and over 250 classes now… and I’m still going strong.
