During my classhopping-hiatus, there’s been some changes to both FitReserve and ClassPass. Here’s the update:
ClassPass:
- Various pricing plans starting at $49/27-credits a month and go up to $174/100 credits a month with a Blink Gym membership included.
- Classes range in “credit price” from 2-16 credits per class depending on the posh-ness and desirability of the studio/gym.
- Up to 10 credits will roll over to the next month.
- You can visit most studios as often as you which, although the credit cost might increase.
- You can buy extra credit packs starting at $5 for 2 credits (in case you’re just short of being able to book a coveted spot at Barry’s Bootcamp!)
- Class Cancellation Policy: you’ll be charged $15 for late cancel (less than 12 hours) or $20 for missing a class in the U.S.
- ClassPass is available in multiple cities across the globe.
- Membership Cancellation Policy: cancel anytime (before your next billing-cycle), but there “could be” a $79 re-activation fee.
- Has app for iOS and Android
FitReserve
- Flexible price structure starting at $49/month for 3 classes and going up to $349/month for 20 classes or a FitReserve Plus which includes membership to New York Sports Club gyms starting at $99/month.
- 4 classes per studio each month.
- Cancellation fees for late cancel and missed classes vary depending on the studio
- Includes discounts with affiliated partners on things like clothing, healthy snacks and massage
- Can cancel anytime, but there is a $49 re-activation fee if you cancel your FitReserve membership and want to re-join
- iOS app available (but no Android app yet).
Whereas, before it looked more like this:
ClassPass:
- $125/month for unlimited classes at over 300 studios in New York metro area (previously $99/month)
- offered in 30 major cities
- 3 classes per studio each month
- no included discounts with affiliated partners
- can be VERY hard to book classes at peak hours for hot studios like Exceed and Barry’s Bootcamp
- Can cancel anytime (before your next billing-cycle), but there is a $79 re-activation fee if you cancel your ClassPass membership and then want to re-join
- Has mobile app for iPhone, but not Android users
FitReserve
- More flexible price structure: $79/month for 5 classes, $149/month for 10 classes, $249 for 20 classes at over 70 studios (so far) in NYC
- offered NYC Metro area and Boston
- 4 classes per studio each month
- incudes discounts with affiliated partners on things like clothing, healthy snacks and massage
- access to all class time slots (easier to book choice time slots than ClassPass)
- Can cancel anytime, but there is a $49 re-activation fee if you cancel your FitReserve membership and want to re-join
- No mobile app yet
BOTH Services:
- Have a $15 late cancellation fee (if you cancel less than 12 hours before class starts)
- Charge $20 if you don’t show up to a class you booked (I’ve heard of people checking in to their classes and walking right back out the door to avoid the fee!)
One thought on “ClassPass v. FitReserve Update”
