Why Multi-Modality Studios Are the Future of Fitness
The fitness industry is evolving - and fast. Gone are the days when people wanted just one workout style or were willing to bounce between multiple studios to meet their fitness goals. Today’s modern fitness enthusiast is looking for variety, efficiency, results, and community in one place. That’s why multi-modality fitness studios are quickly becoming the future of fitness.
At Forth Studio, we’ve built our entire philosophy around this idea: offering a comprehensive, science-backed approach to movement that supports strength, mobility, cardiovascular health, longevity, and mental well-being - all under one roof.
What Is a Multi-Modality Fitness Studio?
A multi-modality studio offers multiple forms of training - such as strength training, Pilates, yoga, and cardio-based movement - in a single, cohesive environment. Instead of committing to just one workout style, members gain access to a balanced fitness ecosystem that supports their body at every stage.
This approach mirrors what fitness professionals have known for years: true fitness requires cross-training. No single modality does it all—but together, they create powerful, sustainable results.
Why Multi-Modality Training Works
1. Better Results Through Cross-Training
Incorporating multiple workout modalities helps:
Build lean muscle
Improve cardiovascular endurance
Increase flexibility and mobility
Reduce injury risk
Prevent burnout and plateaus
At Forth Studio, our members don’t have to choose between strength, cardio, or recovery - we integrate it all.
2. The Cardiovascular Power of Hot Yoga and HOT Mat Pilates
One of the biggest misconceptions in fitness is that cardio only comes from running or cycling. In reality, hot yoga and mat Pilates provide powerful cardiovascular benefits, especially when practiced consistently.
Hot Yoga Benefits:
Elevates heart rate for sustained periods
Improves circulation and cardiovascular endurance
Enhances flexibility while building muscular strength
Supports detoxification through heat-adapted movement
Mat Pilates Benefits:
Builds deep core strength
Improves posture and stability
Increases muscular endurance
Offers low-impact cardiovascular conditioning when sequenced intentionally
Together, these modalities deliver a joint-friendly, effective cardio experience that supports long-term health—without the wear and tear of high-impact workouts.
3. Strength Training That Supports Longevity
Strength training is essential for bone density, metabolic health, and aging well. In a multi-modality studio, strength work is complemented by mobility-focused practices like yoga and Pilates, creating a more resilient, functional body.
This balanced approach is especially important for:
Injury prevention
Hormonal health
Sustainable weight management
Lifelong movement capacity
Why We Stepped Away From ClassPass in May 2025
In May 2025, Forth Studio made the intentional decision to step away from ClassPass - and this is exactly why.
ClassPass works best for single-modality studios. But we already offer it all.
Our members don’t need to hop from studio to studio to get strength training, Pilates, yoga, and cardio. At Forth Studio, everything is thoughtfully programmed, aligned, and designed to work together.
By focusing on our in-house community instead of third-party platforms, we’re able to:
Deliver a more personalized member experience
Maintain consistent, high-quality programming
Support long-term progress instead of drop-in fitness
Build real relationships and accountability
Multi-modality training thrives on consistency - and that’s something you can only build within a dedicated studio community.

The future of fitness isn’t about extremes. It’s about integration.
People are searching for:
Boutique fitness studios that offer variety
Pilates and yoga studios with strength and cardio options
Low-impact workouts with high-impact results
Fitness communities that support long-term wellness
Multi-modality studios answer all of these needs.
