FS8 Collingwood ON

Seven years ago, I moved to Collingwood for work and have loved making the South Georgian Bay area home. I continue to work in Human Resources and am excited to also be part of the team at FS8. What I love most about being part of the team is the welcoming, supportive atmosphere and being surrounded by people who share a passion for helping others feel their best. I enjoy getting to know our members and helping everyone feel welcome from the moment they walk through the door!

Meet Angela Movement has always been a big part of my life. I’m a super active human being who genuinely loves being on the go- whether I’m teaching reformer pilates,bpracticing yoga, walking my dog, hiking, cleaning teeth, or hosting a yoga retreat. I made the move from the city to the  Blue Mountains about six years ago,and I couldn’t be happier with the active lifestyle and community I’ve found here. I love being surrounded by people who enjoy moving,exploring, connecting, and making the most out of life. As an instructor, I’m passionate about helping people feel strong, capable, and confident in moving their bodies.  I  also believe fitness is about connection, community, energy, and making time for yourself. Movement should leave you feeling better than when you arrived. I can’t wait to move with you.

After 6 years of being an avid gym goer (you could often find me there at 3:30 AM!), I reached a point where I needed to slow down, listen to my body and find a different approach to fitness. That’s when I found FS8 Collingwood! I’ve been a member since the day the doors opened, and it was the welcoming atmosphere and amazing community that kept me coming back. I love the unique challenges FS8 brings, especially working muscles you don’t always think about and discovering just how much proper posture and core engagement can change a movement. I believe fitness isn’t about chasing a certain look, it’s about building a strong, capable body that will carry you through life for years to come. Outside of the studio, you can find me soaking up the sunshine and fresh air with my two dogs Ras (a Saint Bernard) and Cash (a Rottie/German Shephard mix), or saying yes to something new. You can always find me with a smile, and if you need someone to cheer you on and keep you accountable, I’m your girl!

Hi, I’m Hannah! Having grown up skiing in the Collingwood area, it’s so special to now call this community home. I’m a recent education graduate currently teaching in the area while completing my Master of Education. Outside of school and work, I love staying active and trying all different types of fitness, from pilates and running to group fitness classes. What I love most about FS8 is the welcoming environment and the sense of community it creates. Getting to know members, making connections, and seeing familiar faces is such a big part of what makes the studio special. Both the staff and members make it such an enjoyable, fun, and motivating place to be, and it’s the kind of environment that makes you excited to come back. I’m so happy to be part of a community that makes fitness about more than just the workout!

Hi, I’m Jacqueline! Having grown up dancing, I’ve always loved movement and the opportunity to challenge myself in new ways, which is one of the things I love most about FS8. I’m especially drawn to the welcoming community and connections that make every class such a special experience. I’m a recent Psychology graduate and moved to Collingwood as I complete a certification in Behaviour Therapy. When I’m not at the studio, you can usually find me hiking, baking, or spending time with friends and family. I’m so happy to be part of the FS8 community and look forward to meet you all!
