Calling all fitness freaks — there’s now a new subscription platform to rival those of GuavaPass and KFit. Just launched this month, ClassPass is no small competitor, with a global network of more than 10,000 partners in 50 cities across the world.
It’s been in operation since 2013, and since it’s a bit of a johnny-come-lately here in Singapore, the brand is currently offering new sign-ups two months worth of complimentary classes.
Partnering with almost 100 locations in Singapore, which marks the brand’s debut in Asia, ClassPass includes boutique studios like WeBarre, Freedom Yoga, Haus Athletics, Ground Zero, Sync Cycle, Anthem, Upside Motion, boOm, Pilates Plus, The Yoga Co, and Uppercut in its line-up, offering workouts such as aerial yoga, CrossFit, barre, cycling, boxing, Pilates, dance, strength training, and loads more.
However, it works slightly different than GuavaPass or KFit. Membership pricing is based on its credit system, meaning you can either get the most out of your dollar by booking lower credit classes, or you can say, “screw it”, and just go all out for your favorite exercise sessions at a higher credit rate. Each workout is assigned a “dynamic credit value” that changes based on location, time, popularity, and equipment used.
That means even though you get a set number of credits when you sign up, you may not be able to sweat it out as much as you’d like if your tastes are on the high end. Or you’ll just end up paying more than you initially wanted to by topping up credits.
A class costs 7 credits on average, and the current launch rates are $50 for 50 credits (which will get you about 5-8 classes) or $100 for 200 credits (to book 28-31 classes).
On the bright side, you do get to book classes at partner studios anywhere in the world — no excuses for slacking during your holiday, then. The brand is also looking to expand into the wellness realm, with possible new future services like massages, acupuncture, cyrotherapy, and facials.
Like any fitness membership program, ClassPass comes with its pros and cons, so you’ll have to weigh your options to decide which suits your lifestyle better. The app is currently available for iOS and Android.
