Did this place close? I drove by earlier and there’s no equipment anymore? If so, I have 4 more classes left in my trial?

I paid for the 5 trial sessions, after signing up and looking at class times they have few classes every other day and the timing are either all in the morning or afternoon. In my last session that I signed up for they texted me asking if I wanted to switch to a different day because I was the only one signed up for class. I would rate my one time attended session 6/10 however timing and schedule is terrible

This was my first time doing reformer Pilates and I had a great time! Sean was very friendly and helpful and gave me a tutorial of the reformer which was much appreciated. The other staff member was also very friendly and helpful. The studio was clean and the screens with the exercises were awesome to refer to. I’m not local but I’ll be back when I visit next!

Sorry I have to write this review, but I am beyond disappointed with the management of this facility.

To start I purchased the 5 class pack, and they don't tell you you have to use it in 14 days until like 3rd email with your receipt, but you have to scroll all the way down and read the fine print. (Which I didn't even see or know about this clause until my first class) I am a busy Mom just trying to get some time to myself while my kids are at school.

I show up to my first class, excited and ready, now I am in a bigger body, but I've been working out a lot doing many different classes, Including mat pilates, just never reformer, which I told them in my initial text chat. (That everyone texts you from when you first sign up and act super welcoming and nice)

Well day of first day, the trainer looks me and up and down and says "have you ever done pilates before" with a smirk, (I told them I already had already) but clearly they don't pay attention.. so I said "yes, just never reformer" I've actually lost 55lbs this year," she gave me a quick half assed instruction, and basically body shammed me, but there were lots of other girls in class my size.

We go through the class it was great, I loved (which is such a shame because I won't be going back)

As we are all getting ready to leave they asked If I have scheduled my next class, That's when I tell them that no but I was planning on scheduling it for the following Thursday because the only time that I can go to class is Thursday mornings. Then the girl at us finally tells me about the 14-day policy. And I was like oh no I didn't know that, Is it possible that I could talk to somebody to see if we can make arrangements. She said let's see what we can do she gives me the owner's contact information. I have reached out to the owner and the staff several times, receiving no feedback whatsoever. I did go to a second class, asked again about extending the 14 day policy, and the girl at the desk said oh let me get you in a text chain with the owner... To which she never did and just said "I left her a note" (on a white board).

If they didn't want to honor it, a simple phone call or text would have been fine, but the skating around and not answering me is bad business. I run a Moms group of about 900 woman, and will not be recommended this studio.

Also they are moving locations and the prices are out rageous for a class where I have to clean my own equipment and get body shammed.

The 14 day policy should definitely be made known as you are booking and they should be a little more professional.

The studio is clean and the instructors are nice but it’s very expensive. I did the cheap trial and did enjoy the classes, but it’s not worth $27-$35 per class

The classes were extremely small. One time during a weekday at an 8:30am class there was me and one other person. None of the classes I went to were close to full, I think this speaks to their pricing. I think if it was more affordable, they would see their studio be more full, and then they would still turn a profit because more people would be in their class instead of charging for a more expensive class and having less clients.

The machine was fun and it was a good workout but too expensive for me to keep up with.

As a professional yoga and wellness instructor with years of experience, I’m constantly seeking environments that challenge me, elevate my practice, and expand my knowledge—and FS8 Royal Oak has done exactly that and more.

From day one, I was incredibly impressed by the professionalism of the entire team. The instructors are not only supportive and welcoming, but they also bring a depth of knowledge that’s truly inspiring. Every class is thoughtfully designed, seamlessly combining strength, Pilates, and cardio in a way that keeps me engaged and constantly progressing. Even with my background, I’ve learned so much from their unique approach and have felt both challenged and empowered.

What stands out the most is the community. It’s more than just a studio—it’s a space where people are genuinely invested in their health and well-being. Joining FS8 Royal Oak was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself this year. I’m hooked!

Investing in yourself is never wasted, and FS8 is proof of that. If you’re looking for a place that will push you, support you, and grow with you—this is it.

I recently joined FS8 and have had an amazing experience! The welcoming atmosphere, combined with knowledgeable and passionate instructors, makes every class enjoyable. They focus on proper form and provide modifications for all skill levels, which has greatly improved my strength and flexibility. The variety of classes offered keeps things fresh and exciting, and the supportive community fosters a great sense of camaraderie among participants. I highly recommend FS8 to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey through Pilates!

I’m sad to write this review, because almost all the trainers are wonderful and I loved the classes. However, due to the timing of their classes, my
job, and medical bills for my medically complex infant, I had to cancel my membership.

Looking through the other reviews, I’m realizing my issue is a pattern and I’m not the first to experience this. The studio is so poorly managed, and has worst management I’ve ever encountered for a business. It has been impossible to get any support. When I initially signed up for a membership, I couldn’t get ahold of anyone so I purchased the membership on the app. However, there’s no option to cancel online. Danielle the manager is impossible to get awhile of, and when I cancelled in person she wrote it on a scrap piece of paper and said she’d take care of it. That should have been my first tip off that it wouldn’t be handled correctly. Of course, I was incorrectly charged after my 30 day notice was up. I have left six voicemails, sent two emails, texted a trainer, and texted the main number four times with no resolution. It has been two weeks. The amount of time spent on resolving this issue has been ridiculous. I finally got ahold of her over the weeknd after saying I’m going to corporate on a voicemail, and she said the refund would be processed by the end of the weekend. Unsurprisingly, this wasn’t done. She says she will take care of an issue she never follows through.

For anyone else experiencing issues, just email [email protected] and save yourself the extensive amount of time trying to get in contact with Danielle and relying on her to resolve the issue.

Sadly, I doubt this studio will remain open long term due to the management problem. Sad because the trainers are great and the classes are so fun!

Cute studio - and an overall good energy. A mix of class types, I found myself liking the ones that were a blend of reformer and cardio. It gave me something different from the other private reformer lessons I do outside of here. I plan to add 1-2 classes a week from FS8 to my normal workout schedule.

Owner and instructors are very welcoming and helpful which is a huge plus for me.

I’m not the one to write review but I feel as if this is the only way I can get a hold of somebody. This studio is a complete scam & money grabber. I’ve been in contact with this studio since August of 2024 about canceling my membership. Not one gets in touch with you and they’ve even confirmed my cancellation after weeks of waiting yet still continue to charge you. They don’t even have a direct number to call and it’s just super scatchy. Super frustrating!

Tried their intro offer of 5 classes and instantly was hooked. I love how the classes are intense and challenging but still doable. For reference, I’ve tried a few places for reformer pilates including solidcore, largree, and club pilates and honestly found them to be kinda chaotic and difficult to follow.

The classes make me feel so great after and refreshed. I already noticed a change in my physique and overall feeling in my body. Highly recommend trying this place out!

I love going to FS8. The instructors are all very friendly, motivating, and take the time to assist you through each class. Whether you’re a beginning or more experienced, the instructors can show you different ways to modify each exercise to your comfort level. Every class is different which keeps it interesting and challenging in the best way. I have taken a few different Pilates style classes, but FS8 is by far my favorite!!

Today was my first class at FS8 Royal Oak and Danielle was a great instructor and took her time showing me the reformer and helping me get familiar with it. I’ve never done Pilates and this was a great introduction for me and a change of pace. Did I sweat? - no but my body did get a good workout in nonetheless!! The slower focused movements and holds challenged me differently than what I am used to and am looking forward to the next class. Check it out! I’d advise to get there 15 minutes before your first class time just so they can prepare you before you jump right into it.

I absolutely love coming to FS8. I have a membership at F45 too. It's really nice to be able to switch workouts and combine strength and mobility. Pilates is a beautiful change of pace from the high intensity F45 workouts, but still provides a great workout. The studio is beautiful and clean, all the instructors I've met are awesome, and I love looking forward to working out.

My primary concern is with the customer service. I began going to FS8 Pilates a few months ago beginning first with the intro package, and then switching to an 8 class per month membership. I found the classes to be accessible, though I do not love that some of the instructors just expect you to understand what to do from the videos they play on the TVs. After a month of my membership I had a health issue that required I pause and potentially permanently stop attending classes. I called the studio several times and left messages but it took me two weeks to finally reach someone. I asked her to pause my membership and for a refund of an additional month that I had been charged for and she agreed. But I never got the refund and I’ve been charged for ANOTHER month. I’ve called just about every other day, and I've sent several emails. I’m beyond frustrated with the customer service have no clue if this will ever be resolved
