Who: Shola A., Brooklyn, NY, late 30s. A singer, voice actor, and creative entrepreneur who has lost 10 pounds with obé.

obé-ing since: March 2020. I discovered obé through instructor Michelle B. who invited me to Beta version a few years prior.

What changes have you experienced since doing obé?

I have a regular (4-5 day/week) workout routine. I’ve lost 10 pounds—and kept them off—since I started. My body is more toned and I am stronger. I am more confident in my body, and confidence positively affects everything!

I know for sure that working out is a stress reliever for me and it is always a positive aspect of my day, no matter what’s going on around me.

Go-to instructors: I love Mary’s vivacious energy and she is #bodygoals. Pilates with her is always sure to be a challenge. I also love when she does costume or theme specific classes, she commits all the way and her classes are fun.

Walter’s motivational talking is something I’ve really come to appreciate and seek. He has great playlists, he even played one of my songs during one of his classes! I love taking Strength with him and Dance HIIT if I want to have a fun, high-energy workout.

Mar Mar for Pilates on Wednesday morning is something I absolutely can NOT miss. She is funny, witty, and her class give that slow burn.

Michelle is an absolute killer. She targets specific body parts and you always know you are making a change to your body when you take a class with her.

I’ve taken all of Liz’s class offerings, except Ride because I don’t have a stationary bike at home. 🙁 I know whatever class I take with her will be good. She has a sunny, laid back energy that’s great for an everyday workout.

Where do you do obé? Any cool locations you’ve taken obé?

I normally take classes in my apartment in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. I’ve also taken them on a balcony in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and currently I’m in Jamaica, so I take it as far as the WiFi can travel, usually outside on the veranda with the lush tropical nature as my backdrop.
