\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen franchise owner and head trainer Summer Woodward discovered FS8<\/a>, she knew she had found something unique.<\/p>\n

After years of teaching yoga, Pilates and strength classes, she dreamed of opening her own studio. However, she wanted a concept that stood out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t find any other FS8s in the North Dallas area, so I thought, \u2018This would be a great way to step out of my comfort zone and do something I have been dreaming of for a long time. The opportunity is here, so let\u2019s bring it,\u2019\u201d Summer Woodward said.<\/p>\n

Now, she and her husband Bryan Woodward, an Army National Guard veteran, are preparing to open FS8 South McKinney. Supported by their three children, the first-time business owners are introducing North Texas to an Australian-born fitness brand built around functional movement and community.<\/p>\n

What is FS8?<\/p>\n

FS8 stands for \u201cfunctional style.\u201d It represents eight core components of wellness: cardio, posture, resistance, balance, mobility, flexibility, coordination and mental health.<\/p>\n

Classes blend Pilates reformer work, yoga and toning into a single 50-minute, low-impact session. To encourage a true mind-body connection, the studio features no mirrors. Instead, six large screens display movement demonstrations, so members can maintain proper form.<\/p>\n

Three class styles<\/p>\n

FS8 South McKinney will offer three signature class formats:<\/p>\n

Original (The OG)<\/a>: The foundational workout blends yoga, tone and reformer Pilates. Members work on and off the reformer using dumbbells, mats and adjustable spring resistance.Ignite<\/a>: A high-energy, continuous-flow cardio session. This fast-paced workout keeps the heart rate elevated, using dumbbells and Pilates equipment.ReformX<\/a>: A strength and flexibility class conducted entirely on the reformer machine.The studio’s coaches bring diverse backgrounds in yoga, Pilates, health care and sports medicine.<\/p>\n

‘Prehab,’ veteran roots and membership details<\/p>\n

The Woodwards emphasized that FS8 is an inclusive environment where anyone can safely exercise. Trainers specialize in tailoring movements for individuals with physical limitations, including disabled veterans such as Bryan Woodward himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to say that we are \u2018prehab\u2019 before rehab,\u201d Summer Woodward said.<\/p>\n
