Many of you will already know Helen as one of our original members and a familiar face within the FS8 Monument community. Since the early days of the studio, she’s been a huge supporter of everything we’re building, so we’re delighted that she’ll be helping the team out over the next few months. As someone who knows the member experience inside out, Helen brings a unique perspective, genuine enthusiasm, and a real understanding of what makes our community special. Whether she’s greeting you at reception, helping things run smoothly behind the scenes, or cheering you on after class, you’ll be seeing a lot more of her around the studio. We’re thrilled to have one of our OG members become part of the team, even if it’s just for a little while!

Before FS8, my career took a few unexpected turns. I started out as a secondary school teacher specialising in Humanities before moving into the non-profit sector, where I worked on environmental education and conservation projects. These days, my day job is as a Sales Director at Microsoft. And somewhere along the way, I decided to open an FS8 studio. Not because I thought the world needed another fitness studio, but because I know how busy life can feel. Between work, family, friendships, fitness and everything else we’re trying to juggle, it can be hard to find spaces where you can switch off for an hour and just focus on yourself. I wanted to create a place that people genuinely looked forward to coming to. A place where you can move, reset, challenge yourself, and maybe get to know a few familiar faces along the way. And if you see me around the studio, come and say hi. Chances are I’ll be the one sending you messages from behind a laptop somewhere. I’m still figuring a lot of this out as I go, but I’m really glad you’re here.

Meet Ophelia, our resident unicorn! A qualified Reformer Pilates instructor and valued member of our Member Support Specialist team, Ophelia brings a unique blend of creativity, charisma, and expertise to the studio.

Paris is one of the lovely faces behind our Member Success team and a big part of what makes the studio feel so welcoming.

Already qualified in Reformer Pilates, Paris is currently training to become an FS8 coach, combining her passion for movement with a genuine desire to help others feel their best.

When I was first exploring the idea of opening FS8 Monument, Tyla was Head Trainer at FS8 Hoxton and embodied everything I hoped to bring to our studio. Exceptional coaching, genuine care for members and the ability to create a class experience that keeps people coming back. After taking some time away from the studio to perform in the West End production of The Rocky Horror Show, I’m absolutely thrilled that Tyla has joined the FS8 Monument coaching team. For me personally, this feels a little bit like a full-circle moment. She’s been at the very top of my wish list for a long time, and I genuinely believe our members are going to love training with her.

If you’ve taken one of Victoria’s cover classes, you’ve probably said the same thing we hear time and time again: “Can she be on the timetable permanently?” Victoria remembers names, notices progress and has a knack for knowing exactly when to encourage you and when to push you. Alongside coaching at FS8 Monument, she also teaches at FS8 Hanwell, giving her a deep understanding of the FS8 training principles and member experience.
