If you follow me in on Instagram Stories you might of seen a snippet of my daily OBĆ Fitness. I lived in NYC for 10yrs and watched the workout world evolve from a gym membership to amazing boutique workouts eg: Soul Cycle, Tracey Anderson, AKT in Motion, The Class - I love them all!
I moved to Orlando a year ago and was very sad to say goodbye to all my favorite workouts! I dabbled in a monthly membership at Club Pilates, 9 Rounds, Personal Training but I am very instructor based, if I find an incredible instructor with an amazing workout, music and changes it up - I am so loyal! Plus I hate Burpees, so you make me do more than 5 burpees, my eye rolling begins!
After 9 months of not loving any of my workout options in Orlando, my good friend Jenn Falik in CT introduced me to OBĆ Fitness an APP & Website with Live & On-Demand Fitness classes with amazing NYC instructors! I have never worked out on my own at home, I am generally not motivated so was apprehensive. I purchsed my ankle weights, 3ilb hand weights plus resistance bands and signed up for their 7-day trial. I use my phone to watch the workout and AirPods to listen! I was hooked, I love the choice of amazing NYC instructor plus the effectiveness of the fun workout, obĆ©ās signature 28 minute classes fits into my busy schedule! Their music is amazing, they are so nice and motivating and a challenging workout! If I have a chubby eating day I would double up a class back to back! The best is my body started changing for the better!
If I do a LIVE class the instructor will see my name and call me out and motivate me. OBĆ Fitness has a talented team of instructors that will keep you inspired to reach your personal best and keep you coming back for more. All their Live classes are available On-Demand so you can workout with your fav instructor anytime. This is the most effective & convenient way of working out!
My favorite ObƩ instructors are Michelle, Walter, Mary, Meghan, Madelaine & Tiffany R.
My workout has never been so fun and reasonable. My husband is so proud of me, I used to be so dependent on boutique training. Now I have an assortments of workouts direct through their app, I workout at least 5 times a week with ObƩ, best is when I travel I can do it anywhere in the world!
Here is the spending Math:
Cost of ObĆ©ā $27 per month or $199 for the Year
Cost of my previous monthly NYC workout schedule before Obe $530:
Soul Cycle x 6 = $200
Dance & strength workout = $140
Strength workout x 8 = $200
OBE TOTAL COST per month $27
Savings and still the same body $503
I highly recommend OBE Fitness, I donāt get paid by them! I only share what Iāve tried & love!
Sign up for for 7 day trial and enter code JENN30 if you decide to join your will get 30% off your monthly or yearly membership bringing it down to $19 per month or $140 for the year!

What did I do on a Tuesday that was new? Worked out, got stretched, got a tattoo, and had root canal.
Workout: I am obsessed with instructor Armond Jordan, I love his JoyCircuit class, it is a combination of weights, cardio and abs. The class never gets easy, he really thinks about about his workout and he is already changing my body! I love his energy and always has a good playlist! The class is around $26 when you purchase a class package.
Stretch: The Stretch is tiny after each workout and do I foam roll at home - NO! I was recommended LYMBR so I booked a 30 min stretch through their website. It was amazing, they simply ask you your workout routine and any problem areas, Michael completely stretch we out!! My spine feels longer, my hips are always tight they feel brand new! It was incredible so my goal is to go once a week! New client introductory stretch $35 for 30mins. They have locations throughout the US, for the NYC girls their is a location in Tribeca.
Tattoo: The past 8 months I have been pining for a star design on the side of my wrist. I wanted 5 stars to represent the loves in my life: Hubby; Christopher, Kids; Olivia & Max and Dogs; Archie & Teddy. I told no one, but I was worried that I would regret doing it! I got in contact with an amazing tattoo artist Chris Fort at Big Dreams Studio Stamford. He is beyond busy and travels but so worth the wait. I sent him my inspiration photos in advance. On the day we stenciled two sizes and moved it around the side of the wrist til I was happy! Then boom ink was put one, it did not hurt and he was awesome no nonsense guy! I highly recommend him! I text Christopher a photo of the tattoo with meaning, he was in shock but loves it!! I love my tattoo!
Root Canal: Not ideal but Dr Alexandra Byrne was amazing, the nicest lady ever and huge dog lover, she has a Wheaten Terrier called Louis! Total pain free and effortless Root Canal, I even took a nap during the procedure! I was there for 2hrs, she works with your insurance. I could not recommend her enough. Your dentist might recommend someone else but insist you want to see Dr Alexander Byrne if you live in CT!
I purchased one dress from Free People because I am obsessed with their spring/summer collection! Donna Maxi Dress $98! I can't wait to receive it!
Badass Tuesday. What will Wednesday bring.....?

LYMBR Stretch with Michael Eaton
I am a huge fitness lover, it clears my mind
My workout over the years has evolved. When I was in the city I was married to various workouts in particular Soul Cycle - I would sign up Monday 12pm to get into my favorite instructors classes (who are still my favs) Stacey, Janet & Laurie. Now I am in the beautiful burbs of Westport, CT I have a varied workout routine but I still love my NYC and often go in to see friends, bounce around and squeeze in a workout!
Tonight I took my first SoulAnnex class, still part of the Soul Community. I met my girlfriends and we took a class called Torch'd. First you are not on a bike instead you are in a room that has incredible lighting. We were led by celebrity trainer Issac. We MOVED + danced for our cardio, we DEFINED with free weights and ALIGNED all our muscles and my rather weak core with our own body resistance!
Isaac's energy was electrifying and his playlist helped us push our workout to another level. It was hard but I felt amazing after and it woke up muscles that had not been used in a while.
If you live in NYC or are visiting you have to try SoulAnnex, I can't wait to hear your experience
Soul Annex is located at 32 W 18th St. in Manhattan
