We now live in an age where there are a million different fitness apps and programs to choose from. But sometimes these options are overwhelming, leaving you confused about which to select. Well, let me introduce you to an app that has quickly become one of my favorites – obé Fitness. I was a bit hesitant to enter in my credit card details to start my free trial (who isn't hesitant these days?), but here are five reasons why it was one of the best decisions I've recently made:
1. You can have FUN with these workouts
I know, you must be thinking I’m crazy. Who would ever describe a workout as “fun”? But, hear me out. obé Fitness classes are straight up FUN. Working out can feel like a total drag, but with obé, I actually look forward to my workouts. Who doesn’t want to do a themed workout like dance cardio with Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century?
Call me a millennial, but the colors they use on the platform and in the studio they film the classes bring me energy and uplift me. It’s seriously the Netflix of workouts, because you’ll want to binge it all day long for being so totally different.
2. obé has the most motivating and positive instructors
I've tried my fair share of fitness aps, and let me tell you, the instructors for obé Fitness are something special. It's not just their bright colors or their funny personalities, I found myself working harder in these classes than I have with other fitness apps. I love the light hearted energy of obé classes, along with their motivating sentiments like “the hard part is over, you showed up today."
3. There's a wide range of workouts, from HIIT to 10-minute express classes
obé has a huge variety of classes, ranging from pilates and yoga to dance cardio to HIIT to strength workouts. The app has over 10,000 workouts, so you’ll never run out of classes to take. My personal favorite classes have typically been barre, boxing, and HIIT classes.
4. You can take a live class at any hour of the day
If you’re looking for a live class that you can take from anywhere at any time of the day, obé is the app for you. obé live workouts offer a ton of variety depending on what mood you’re in that day – from dance cardio to pilates to strength training or meditation, you’re covered. Their back to back classes are complementary, so should you want to do 2 workouts in a row, you can just join.
They also change up the classes being offered in the same time slot on every day, so if you can only workout at 7:30am, for example, you might get a pilates class one day, a strength class the next day, and a dance class the day after that. This is definitely something I love about obé.
5. All the gain, with very little pain
Not only do obé classes fly by because they are a blast, but I truly get a great workout in every time. And since obé makes it easy to stick with a fitness routine, I started to notice real results within the first few weeks. I feel myself getting stronger and have noticed more definition in my arms and core!
If you’re looking for a new workout routine this year that will help you keep any fitness goals, look no further than obé. After your free first month, the monthly price is $24.99 or you can commit to an annual membership for $169.99 ($14/month!). So, what are you waiting for?
