If there’s one thing that sets obé (far) above the rest, it’s our A-to-Z, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink variety. From Dance HIIT to Restorative Yoga and everything in between, our workout class types range from (super) high intensity to very chill vibes.

Our class types fall into four categories: Cardio, Strength Training, Yoga, and Activate/Recover. To help you quickly locate the type of class you’re looking for on the app or on the web, use the “Class Category” filter in our on-demand library filtering system! Whether you’re craving cardio, need an active recovery day, or wondering what counts as strength training, you can find exactly what you want in our on-demand library.

Check out the charts below each category to see where each workout class type falls on an intensity and impact scale (plus some exceptions to the rule), plus get a deeper dive into what you can expect from each class!

Cardio Workout Classes

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is the ideal workout if you’re short on time. Get ready for short periods of intense movement alternated with rest—a format that builds serious strength and cardiovascular health. Burpees, anyone?

DANCE HIIT is everything you love about Dance Cardio combined with high-intensity circuits. It’s fast-paced, upbeat, and super sweaty. Plus, tap into the benefits of building muscle strength combined with cardio bursts. Win-win!

DANCE CARDIO is the perfect combination of choreo and cardio. These moves will elevate your heart rate, enhance your coordination, and increase your stamina. Plus, who doesn’t love a dance party? P.S. Read 5 reasons dance classes are the ultimate for your mind and body, here.

BOXING is where you can really blow off some steam. This full-body workout combines boxing combos with bursts of high-intensity cardio training. Expect lots of sweat and mood-boosting endorphins!

BOUNCE is a trampoline-based workout that’s low-impact—but don’t let that fool you. It’s also high-intensity! This mood-boosting class combines nostalgia with a killer workout that will leave you breathless while building strength. Learn more about the benefits of Bounce workouts—and the different types we offer.

RIDE brings high-intensity, low-impact cardio to your bike—any bike. These beat-based rides will get your heart pumping (and sweat dripping) as you cycle through intervals and hills, with some follow-along choreography to boost your endurance—and mood. Need cycling tips or bike recommendations? Read this.

JUMP is a high-intensity, low-impact cardio workout class that will boost your endurance and leave you glistening. Perfect as a fiery warm-up, a companion to Strength or Power classes, or a solo cardio push, Jump is also ideal for travel or working out with limited equipment. Learn why we’re obsessed with this class, here.

STEP is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio class that will challenge your body and mind. Moving to the beat, you’ll follow fun cardio-only or cardio-plus-sculpt sequences that leave you sweating and strong. Step bench required!

ENDURANCE raises your heart rate with athletic yet lower-impact moves (think: jabs, skaters, and walkouts) and recovery between rounds. Expect to work for longer periods but at a more moderate pace than in HIIT, so you’ll feel breathless but not completely taxed.

Strength Training Workout Classes

SCULPT focuses on toning and lengthening your muscles with high-repetition sequences that fatigue them all the right ways (with a side of cardio!). Get ready to pulse and feel the burn—that’s how you know it’s working.

PILATES is all about strengthening your powerhouse (aka your core), increasing stability, and improving posture using body weight and light resistance. Warning: this no-to-low-impact class might feel easy at first, but it will get spicy!

BARRE is a low-impact, high-intensity combo derived from Ballet, featuring elements of Yoga, Pilates, plus a touch of cardio. Expect improved flexibility, posture, and full-body strength building—no ballet experience required. Learn more here.

STRENGTH is the ultimate functional training class, using resistance to build strength and improve your overall performance. Grab your gear, set up your station, and get ready to train.

POWER takes a Strength class and throws speed into the mix, combining heavy weights with explosive movement to improve muscular and cardiovascular strength. If you want to level up, this is how you do it. Learn more about the difference between Strength and Power workout classes here.

Yoga + Activate/Recover Classes

VINYASA YOGA is composed of vinyasa flows designed to build heat, loosen your muscles, and build strength.

YOGA SCULPT is your yoga practice turned up a notch. Using light weights, you’ll flow through strength and toning movements that target all the major muscle groups. It’s your mind-body practice with extra sweat.

RESTORATIVE YOGA is all about prioritizing you. Rooted in the yin yoga tradition, it focuses on holding longer, restorative poses so you can recharge and practice self-care. Grab your favorite pillow or cozy blanket, and focus on your breath as you sink in.

STRETCH is your post-workout go-to. Make time to reconnect to your body and improve mobility, flexibility, and overall performance. Did we mention it feels really good on your muscles? If you’re not sure if you “need” to stretch, read why everyone should be stretching more often.

MEDITATION is the ultimate you-time. Follow our guides to clear your head, improve focus, and melt away your stress. Start your day with a session or end the day on a good note—whenever you choose to make the time, it’s worth it.

ACTIVATE/RECOVER helps your body (and mind) prepare for—and recover from— all of your workout classes. Choose between warmup or cooldown.

FOAM ROLL is the perfect remedy for treating sore muscles. While it might feel sensitive at first, it’s key for preventing soreness and promoting muscle recovery after any workout class.

Audio Classes

RUN takes your cardio to the next level, whether you’re blazing a trail, hitting the track, or working the treadmill. Feel your heartbeat as the obé pros guide you through run tempos and intervals to boost endurance—whatever your experience.

WALK keeps you moving on a treadmill or your favorite outdoor route. From easy strolls to power walks, take it step by step as our obé pros guide you on a low-impact, music-driven journey that keeps you motivated.

MEDITATION lets you tune in and tune up anytime—to clear your head, improve your focus, and melt away stress. Me-time, elevated!

STRENGTH is the ultimate functional training class, using resistance to build full-body strength and improve your overall performance. Grab your gear, set up your station, and get ready to train.

YOGA tunes you into body and mind with everything from restorative, meditation-based classes to fiery, athletic power flows. Connect to your breath and recharge on your mat whether you’re new to the practice or a total yogi pro!
