Working out is generally hard but it doesn’t have to be boring.
Most people thrive on variety, but many gyms and fitness studios are limited to offering just one genre of classes.
Even the biggest gyms and studio chains just don’t have the capacity to offer more than a certain amount.
For people who need or want variety in their workout routines, ClassPass is often the answer.
If you’ve been debating a ClassPass membership but aren’t sure the membership cost is going to be worth it to you, keep reading.
This article will answer your questions about the types of classes you can take with ClassPass, how much it costs, the details of the ClassPass free trial, canceling your ClassPass membership, and where ClassPass operates.
By the end, you’ll be ready to sign up for free and find out for yourself whether ClassPass is for you.
The Types of Classes You Can Take With ClassPass
ClassPass subscribers generally choose ClassPass over or in addition to a traditional gym or studio membership because of the range of classes they can take on a day-to-day basis.
While a big gym may have multiple locations and classes, they rarely have the range of ClassPass offerings, which ClassPass divides into the following categories.
Cardio
Cardio class options include boxing, kickboxing, dance, CrossFit, HIIT (high intensity interval training), martial arts, and more.
What defines a cardio class is that it challenges your heart rate and improves endurance but doesn’t require equipment.
These classes are Heart Rate enabled.
Strength
Strength class options include upper body, lower body, full body, and abs.
Each class entails a total body workout while focusing on a specific body part.
These classes are designed to increase your muscular strength and endurance.
Strength classes range from light to moderate intensity and entail the use of weights and other equipment.
These classes are Heart Rate enabled.
Mind and Body
Mind and body class options include yoga and barre.
These classes are designed to improve mobility and strength through low impact movement.
Mind and body classes range from light to moderate intensity.
Barre classes entail the use of weights and other equipment.
Yoga classes only require a mat.
Barre classes are Heart Rate enabled and yoga classes are not.
Express
Express classes span a range of class options with their defining characteristic being that each class is 20 minutes or less.
Some Express classes use light to heavy weights or other equipment.
Express classes are not Heart Rate enabled.
Live
ClassPass now offers its members the ability to stream workouts through ClassPass Live and participate in their favorite fitness classes from the comfort of their own homes, hotels rooms, or wherever they might be.
Members access the classes through the ClassPass app or ClassPass.com.
Live class options include kickboxing, boxing, strength, HIIT workouts, and barre classes.
All live classes are Heart Rate enabled and have a leaderboard.
How Much Does ClassPass Cost?
What ClassPass costs will depend on where you live and how many classes you plan to attend.
The more classes you take, the more credits you’ll need, and the more you’ll end up spending on a ClassPass membership.
That being said, if you’re taking a range of classes, ClassPass can still be way cheaper than signing up for multiple gym and studio membership.
ClassPass has three tiers of membership and the exact prices and the number of credits vary from city to city depending on the supply of classes, the demand of users, and the relative costs of the city.
For example, ClassPass costs more in Los Angeles than in Atlanta.
In NYC, the ClassPass pricing structure is:
- $49 per month: You receive 27 credits to use on 2–4 classes
- $79 per month: You receive 45 credits to use on 4–6 classes
- $159 per month: You receive 100 credits to use on 10–15 classes
The number of credits a class costs will depend on demand, both in the city and for the class.
The average class in New York City costs nine credits whereas the average class in Detroit costs just six credits.
The membership tiers in Detroit cost $35, $50, and $80, which is significantly cheaper than in New York City.
