Wellness@Eight was born from a lifelong passion for fitness, a deep understanding of the transformative power of self-care, and a strong desire to make these benefits accessible to everyone.

Our story is one that many can relate to—struggling to find the right balance between the demands of daily life and the need for self-care. As the pressures of work, family, and major life events build up, the impact on our physical and mental health becomes increasingly evident. Taking time for ourselves isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity.

At Wellness@Eight, we believe that movement and relaxation are essential to overall wellbeing. Our mission is to create a space that seamlessly integrates these practices into your everyday life, empowering you to prioritise your health and wellbeing.
