Two different businesses. The one with a crowd funder for a sauna is an existing business further up Dartmouth Road. The business wanting to move into the KFH site is a different company.

OK. Unfortunate coincidences of timing, address proximity, and both enterprises having ‘Mind’ in their business names.
So we already have, within a few blocks of this new one:
-
Level Out
-
Restore Pilates
-
MIND
How’s that for competition - especially for the small independent one?
And there’s Studio One further down on Dalmian Road.
Anymore for anymore?
It’s better than an empty shop, I suppose. No doubt it will have a coffee shop on the premises too, adding to the others already in the locale…

No coffee shop proposed in the planning application, and there wouldn’t be space for one.
I think the place up Dartmouth Road offers mostly yoga with a few Pilates sessions. The two next to the railway line have reformer machines (as will the new business) and don’t offer mat Pilates. Studio One uses Pilates equipment. Does anyone in this area offer mat Pilates sessions, apart from the courses run at Brockley Rise?

Personally I think it’s a positive sign at how many people are taking up exercise! But could forgive Mind Yoga for being a bit miffed having someone with such a similar name opening within a few steps!

I’m sure they won’t Mind.

@PaulineLovesPens one would be enough…and there are a few others in Crofton Park,Northcross road and Dulwich village too.
as you say better than an empty shop but I am starting to feel pilates studios are the new nail bars..
and if they were more affordable I’d try one but meanwhile I stick to council run/leisure centre classes.
Edited to add: was just on the P4 and noticed another Pilates studio in Honor Oak Park …in the parade of shops where Amaranth is
