How the ClassPass Trial Works

The ClassPass trial offer lets new users try the platform and access a curated mix of fitness and wellness experiences.

You can explore studios, gyms, and select services, see how the credit system works, and decide if a ClassPass membership fits your lifestyle. This guide explains how the trial works, how to use your credits, how it supports partner studios, and how to transition into a paid ClassPass plan if you love it.

The ClassPass trial

The ClassPass trial offers a limited-time way to experience how the ClassPass app works and what it offers. During the trial, people can use the app to browse and book eligible workouts, gym time, and wellness services at participating partner locations.

This trial allows people to explore top-rated studios and gyms nearby, discover different class types and services, and see whether the flexibility, variety, and convenience of ClassPass fit into a day-to-day schedule.

The experience walks users through booking, scheduling, and attending classes on the platform, giving them a practical preview of ClassPass to help them decide if they want to commit to a paid membership.

Navigating your trial credits and choices

ClassPass runs on credits, so you’ll use them to book everything in the app.

Each class will have a credit value upfront, so you know exactly how many credits you’ll use before booking. This makes it easy to manage your credit balance and choose how to allocate it  across different classes and experiences.

• Book premium experiences: Use credits for popular peak-time classes.
• Maximize quantity: Spread credits across several lower-credit options to try more studios.
• Mix formats: Explore a variety of strength training, yoga, Pilates, cycling, and dance classes.

Important things to know about your trial

To get the most value out of the ClassPass trial, it helps to understand a few guidelines about visits and access.

Trial limitations: making every visit count

During the trial, you can typically visit each unique gym or studio once. This encourages you to branch out and discover new spaces. ClassPass works with their partners to:

1. Ensure the trial includes access to participating fitness studios and gyms, with availability determined by individual studios and class schedules.
2. Offer classes and services based on participating locations.
3. Adjust availability based on local demand.

Managing your trial and beyond

If ClassPass isn’t right for you, you can cancel any time before your trial ends in your account settings. If you love the experience, your trial will automatically roll into a paid ClassPass membership, ensuring:

1. Unlocked access to all businesses on ClassPass
2. Monthly credits to book workouts, salon and spa appointments, order food and drinks, and more.

Pro tip: Set a reminder for your trial end date so you can review your experience before the first billing cycle begins.

A win-win: How the ClassPass trial benefits business

The ClassPass trial helps studios reach people who are actively exploring new workout options by making it easy for them to discover and try participating studios and gyms. This introduces studios to potential new customers at a moment when they’re building consistent routines.

Many people hesitate to commit to a single studio or gym for a variety of reasons, including uncertainty about class formats, studio environments, or how group fitness fits into their schedule. In a ClassPass member survey (Dec 2024–Jul 2025, self-reported), more than half of respondents said studio fitness was not a regular part of their routine before joining ClassPass.

By lowering the barrier to trying something new, especially for newcomers who may find group fitness intimidating, the trial can help studios turn first-time visitors into repeat attendees and long-term community members.

Maximizing your experience: Tips for ClassPass users

• Plan early: Pre-book classes to ensure you use all credits.
• Be strategic: Use your one-visit-per-studio to try a format you’re genuinely curious about.
• Use “Explore”: Use the ClassPass app to search by category, rating, and time in the app to find hidden gems.
