I’ve never been much of a gym rat, but I’ve been trying to find my fitness niche in recent years. I’ve gone the basic gym membership route, but self-guided exercise simply isn’t my strong suit. (I get bored easily, and between you and me, discipline isn’t one of my core qualities.) Some friends suggested I try ClassPass instead. Within the first two months, I took Olympic lifting, spin, yoga, salsa lessons and treated myself to a massage (because you deserve something special after all of that hard work). Now, Forbes Vetted readers can try it too with this exclusive ClassPass discount: A one month ClassPass membership with 50 credits to use for free.
If you’re unfamiliar, ClassPass is a monthly subscription service that allows you to book fitness classes and wellness appointments across your city from a single app. Simply sign up for the app, choose a membership tier and browse available classes in your area. This exclusive reader offer gives new users 50 credits to play with over the course of a month—more than what is typically allotted. The brand’s normal free trial tops out at two weeks and anywhere between 28 to 43 credits, with the overall amount depending on where you reside. Therefore, this is a rare chance to get the most of its trial period and see if it works for your goals.
Whether you like variety in your workout routine or this is your first foray into fitness, a ClassPass membership is a fun way to stay active and explore your interests without committing to a lengthy gym contract. You can cancel any time and adjust your membership tier to your needs, like hitting pause if you’ll be out of town for an extended period. However, once you book a reservation, you’ll want to stick to it or cancel at least 12 hours ahead of the class. While you’ll get your credit back, late cancellations and missed reservations incur a variable fee dependent on the reservation type.
ClassPass is a monthly subscription service that lets you book workout classes and spa appointments using points from your prepaid membership. Once you download the app, you can peruse available classes and book reservations from your phone. Rinse and repeat until you move through your credits or the month rolls over. Keep in mind: The amount of credits you can roll over is tied to your specific subscription. For instance, if you pay for 20 credits per month, you can roll up to 20 credits over to the following month if you maintain the same subscription (or higher).
If you’re looking for a creative and flexible way to stay active, ClassPass is worth it. You can choose from a massive catalogue of workouts, from yoga and spin to aerial and pilates, making it a great way to refresh a stale routine or help build up some confidence after a long break. That said, it’s undeniably a luxury service and its offers vary based on your location: You pay a premium for the variety and flexibility outside a typical gym membership, but you may have more limited offerings if you live in a more rural area.
It depends on your membership tier. You can pay $19 per month for eight credits or $249 for 125. The lower end is suitable for someone just getting started who is interested in trying a couple of new classes a month, while the higher end is a great option for fitness enthusiasts who work out regularly and want to take advantage of salon and spa offers as well. The credit cost of each class varies depending on the reservation type. A classic spin class could cost anywhere between five to 11 credits, while a spa appointment will likely cost upwards of 30.
