Why it’s trending: Gen Z and Millennials are lifting with a long-term mindset. Studies show strength training twice weekly is linked to a 10–17% lower risk of premature death from all causes.
“It’s not about chasing PRs every day—it’s about building a body that feels good in 10, 20, 50 years,” says NASM-certified obé instructor Alex M., featured in our Strength & Sweat program.

2. Low-Impact Sculpt Is the New Pilates
Why it’s trending: Low-impact formats are taking over—focusing on control, muscle activation, and joint health rather than just intensity.
“Low-impact doesn’t mean low results,” says Melody D., obé Senior Director and PN-certified health coach. “These workouts build strength, mobility, and core control—while protecting your joints.”
🎧 Try this vibe: Sculpt, Strength, or Audio Walks to start your day.
3. Hybrid Cardio: A Key Fall Fitness Trend
Why it’s trending: Hybrid cardio mixes strength and cardio into one workout—keeping things efficient and exciting. Research shows combining the two improves fitness and body composition more than either alone.
🔥 Try this: Cardio Sculpt with Natalie D., Strength + Power with Alex M., or Dance + Sculpt with Sam G.
4. Hormone-Friendly Programming for Your Fall Fitness Routine
Why it’s trending: Cycle-syncing is officially mainstream, and women are training smarter by matching workouts to their hormonal phases.
“In your follicular phase, you may feel stronger and ready to crush a heavy lift. During your luteal phase, slower, recovery-based movement is often the better choice,” says Melody D.
