As perhaps the laziest New Yorker, I never thought I’d find myself excited about working out. Before ClassPass, my idea of exercise was walking to the bodega for a ham, egg and cheese. Now, I’m trying all kinds of classes that I would never have considered before. From sweating it out on a Pilates reformer to channeling my inner Rocky in boxing classes, ClassPass has opened up a whole new world of fitness options for me.
ClassPass is a versatile app that allows users to book a wide range of fitness classes, wellness services and more using a credit-based system. As Sophie Cannon, strategy and business development manager, said, “ClassPass is a one-stop shop for all of the above and more.”
How does ClassPass work?
Signing up for ClassPass is a breeze, and they often offer attractive free trials for new members. “These will get you about 20 credits, which can be ‘spent’ at various gyms, spas or other participating businesses,” Cannon explained.
Once you’re set up, search for classes or services in your area using the app’s interactive map or search function. This feature has been a game changer for me, as I have discovered hidden gems in my neighborhood that I might have otherwise missed.
ClassPass offers a diverse range of bookable services:
Fitness classes:
- Yoga, Strength Training, Cycling, Pilates, Barre

- Meditation, cryotherapy, stretching courses
Beauty and spa sessions:
- Facials, massages, hair styling, nail services
- Eyebrow and eyelash treatments
Specialized options:
- Prenatal/postnatal fitness, outdoor exercise
- Access to the gym
Digital offers:
- On-demand training, live streaming classes
ClassPass pricing and plans
ClassPass offers a variety of membership plans based on the number of credits you want per month. Since 2025, I have noticed some changes in the pricing structure. The default plan now offers 43 credits for $89 per month, a slight increase from previous years. However, I find that this still offers excellent value, especially when you book a mix of fitness classes and wellness services.
Larger credit packages are available for those looking for more flexibility. I chose the 80-credit plan, which now costs $159 per month. This plan allows me to enjoy a combination of fitness classes and wellness services with higher credits, such as massages and salon appointments.
How we tested it
I’ve used ClassPass on and off for about ten years, but to put it to a more rigorous test, I signed up for a free trial and immersed myself in the full user experience. Over the course of a month, I booked and attended a variety of classes in various fitness categories, including yoga, strength training and cycling. I used both the mobile app and the website to search for classes, apply filters, and make reservations.
To test the platform’s flexibility, I scheduled workouts at different times of day and in different locations around my city (I’ve even tried ClassPass in other cities and it hasn’t let me down). I also experimented with last-minute reservations and cancellations to gauge the system’s responsiveness. Throughout the test, I paid a lot of attention to the user interface, ease of navigation and overall functionality of the platform.
Additionally, I engaged with customer support to gauge their responsiveness and assistance. By the end of the trial period, I had gained a comprehensive understanding of ClassPass’ offerings, strengths, and potential areas for improvement.
My ClassPass Experience
Like Cannon, I’ve found ClassPass to be incredibly user-friendly. The booking process is smooth and I love that all my appointments are managed in one app. “Having one app to manage all my appointments was great for a busy person with a lot of subscriptions to keep track of,” noted Cannon, and I couldn’t agree more.
One of the standout features for me has been the ability to try new and unique experiences. From cryotherapy treatments to infrared boxing classes, ClassPass has opened up a world of fitness and wellness options I might not have known about otherwise.
Many users have reported an increase in the number of credits required for certain classes, especially starting in January 2025. While this has slightly reduced the number of classes I take per month, I still consider the overall value to be excellent, especially when reserve health services that would normally be much more expensive.
What are the pros and cons of ClassPass?
The pros:
- Easily discover new fitness and wellness experiences
- Convenient in-app booking calendar
- Flexible membership options
- Great value for expensive services like massages and haircuts
- No commitment to any specific gym or service
Disadvantages:
- Tips that are not included in the cost of the loan
- Some classes have seen an increase in required credits
- Not all unused credits carry over
decision
Despite some recent changes, I still consider ClassPass an invaluable tool for maintaining my fitness routine, and enjoying ClassPass remains “a very affordable option,” as Cannon put it, especially when booking expensive services like massages. ..
The flexibility to try new things without commitment, combined with the potential for significant savings, makes ClassPass a winner in my book. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast looking to change up your routine or someone looking for affordable wellness services, ClassPass continues to offer a compelling solution in 2025.
