A planning application has been submitted to the council for the installation of signage at Hove Gardens for a fitness studio.
Hove Gardens, located on the corner of Ethel Street and Ellen Street close to the station, is a recently developed complex featuring mainly residential units along with some commercial spaces on the ground floor.
FS8, a fitness studio, is expected to soon occupy part of the non-residential area.
The application describes FS8 as offering “a holistic approach to fitness by combining Pilates, tone, and yoga.”

For the east elevation, a black metal lollipop sign will feature the illuminated FS8 logo, alongside a black metal sign with the FS8 logo in white.
The application assures that the size and proportion of the signs align with the building’s aesthetics and will not be overbearing.
It further adds that none of the proposed signs would be distracting to the main building.
This new location in Hove will become FS8’s eighth studio in the UK, and its first outside of London.
The fitness company also runs numerous studios across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

FS8’s website describes the studio as “the fitness studio of the future, seamlessly offering a holistic approach to fitness.”
“We combine Pilates, tone and yoga for a unique and energizing full body workout, so you will feel stronger every time you complete a class.
“Low impact – big on results. Perfect for beginners and the experienced Pilates lover, this is more than just your average workout.”

The hub, designed and operated by a company called Foundry, will occupy most of the non-residential space in the building.
Foundry offers a range of facilities in its co-working space.
This includes private offices, dedicated desks, co-working lounges, and meeting rooms.
The planning application states that Foundry is set to take up the majority of the non-residential space at the site.
