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.
