A new hot yoga studio is set to open its doors in Horizon West on Monday, Oct. 19, bringing FAR Infrared-heated classes and a free opening week to the fast-growing Winter Garden community. Oxygen Yoga & Fitness Horizon West will welcome its first members at 8810 Seidel Road, marking the brand's second foothold in the Winter Garden area.
The grand opening comes a couple months after an earlier report had pegged the studio's debut for September, according to Orange Observer News, which now confirms the Oct. 19 date. That same outlet had reported back in August that the studio would open in September at the same Seidel Road address, so the exact history of the studio's opening remains a bit murky even as the celebration date is locked in.
Once open, the studio plans to offer a dynamic lineup of yoga, fitness, Pilates, strength, sculpt, barre and recovery classes, according to Oxygen Yoga & Fitness. The studio markets its workouts as hot yoga, fitness and Pilates powered by state-of-the-art FAR Infrared heat, a signature feature of the brand's approach to boutique fitness.
Free Classes Kick Off Karma Week
New members and curious locals won't have to pay a dime to try things out at first. The studio is promoting free classes during its Grand Opening Karma Week, per the same company website, giving residents a low-stakes way to sample the infrared-heated format before committing to anything.
For those ready to make it a habit, the studio advertises an unlimited-classes membership billed biweekly with no commitment required upfront. The fine print on presale memberships notes that autopay continues for 24 months, though members can cancel with 30 days' notice, and anyone who signs up during Karma Week can cancel without penalty. The studio also states that memberships and services are valid only at the location where they were purchased.
A Second Studio for Winter Garden
This isn't Oxygen Yoga & Fitness's first run at the Winter Garden market. The brand already operates a studio at Suite 103A, 12107 Stoneybrook West Parkway, where it promotes 15 days of hot yoga and fitness classes for $15 as an entry point for newcomers.
The franchise traces back to 2011, when it was founded in British Columbia, Canada, by CEO Jen Hamilton, according to 1851 Franchise. The brand has since sold more than 150 locations across Canada, the United States and international markets, blending yoga, strength training and fusion-style workouts inside FAR infrared-heated studios.
Boutique Fitness Keeps Expanding Locally
The Horizon West opening lands amid a broader boom in boutique fitness. The U.S. industry is currently valued at more than $12.8 billion and is expected to continue growing, 1851 Franchise reports, a trend that helps explain why studios keep popping up across fast-developing Central Florida suburbs.
Horizon West itself has grown into a hub for exactly this kind of development, with five mixed-use villages and a town center surrounded by greenbelts, according to Orange County Government. The new studio joins that growing retail and wellness footprint in the area.
Residents interested in the Oct. 19 grand opening can find class booking information directly through the studio's website. Those looking ahead should plan accordingly, since all classes on opening day reportedly have a waitlist, though other class bookings are available later in the week.
