Called one of the quickest ways to crush calories and inspired by 1980’s at-home-workouts, the new online fitness craze obé isn’t just all over the world wide web–it’s also about to take over the East End.

This summer the Hamptons hottest property, Hero Beach Club, will host an obé fitness studio for hotel guests. The room will resemble obé’s Brooklyn studio with a big neon box offering guests the option to take LIVE classes streamed from NYC or a variety of on-demand classes ranging from 10 to 28 minutes that will be stored in an online library for instant fun workouts.

For the rest of us, not having a gym membership is no longer an excuse.  Obés’live-streaming, beats driven, on-the-go fitness platform offers workouts that can fit into any schedule. Watch on your phone, computer, TV or tablet with their iOs mobile app.

obé is ideal for people who want to save money on workouts (only $27/mo – less than the price of one boutique fitness class in NY or LA), don’t have a gym membership (or want to take classes a la carte to add to their existing fitness regimen), travel a lot, like to work out at home or are busy parents. It requires no space and no equipment.

obé liveclasses only take place in the mornings – every morning 6-8 hours of live programming are streamed from NYC – because studies show that working out in the morning increases productivity and energy levels throughout your day. So if you sign up for a 7am class, you have to actually start at 7am, holding you accountable for your fitness

But obé knows life gets in the way sometimes and it’s impossible to always make the live classes; EXPRESS workouts ranging from 10-28 minutes are available in a library. 

 obé offers three types of classes: Sweat – cardio + dance; Define –  strengthening + building muscle; and Flow – stretching, yoga, mat Pilates. Check it out here: ourbodyelectric.com  and let us know how much you sweat!
