In 2009, Hobbs was cast in the role of Emily Kmetko, an aspiring Olympic gymnast from the wrong side of the tracks, in ABC Family's Make It or Break It.[3] Hobbs was absent from the final 3 episodes of season 2 of Make It or Break, as she and her husband were expecting their second child. In October 2011 she announced that she would not be returning for season 3.

In April 2010, Hobbs (playing Courtney Haywood) and her Make It or Break It co-star Cassie Scerbo (as Hillary Swanson) guest starred on the CSI: Miami episode "Spring Breakdown".
