FS8 offers “​​revolutionary, science-backed” workouts

  • Classes at FS8 incorporate a mix of pilates, yoga and toning exercises.
  • These methods of exercising are often used to target benefits like improving strength, flexibility and stability.
  • The F in FS8’s name stands for “functional”, the S stands for “style” and the 8 represents the brand’s eight key training pillars.

This marks the first FS8 studio in Johnson County

  • The Leawood studio also marks the first in the wider Kansas City metro.
  • The FS8 brand is under the same ownership as Australia-based fitness brand F45 Training, which has studios in Overland Park, Olathe and Leawood.
  • Outside the Kansas City metro area, FS8 has studios in several other states, including Texas, New York and Massachusetts.
