When the World Works Out:<\/p>\n
In 2025, one format continued to dominate across every region and time zone.<\/p>\n
Pilates has spent three years as the most-booked workout on ClassPass and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, this year, it saw a 66% increase in overall reservations from 2024. It was also the first class new users were most likely to book, and the most rebooked workout genre in every region.<\/p>\n
Across the globe, \u201cPilates\u201d was searched over 27 million times in 2025, and over 15 million Pilates reservations were made on ClassPass this year.<\/p>\n

In APAC, the fastest growing wellness appointment was cosmetic treatments (+193%). EMEA embraced meditation (+319%), LATAM loved nail appointments (+64%), and North America booked spa treatments (79%).<\/p>\n
Around the world, ClassPass users are ending their weeks with rest and ritual. Friday is once again the most popular day to book a spa or salon appointment.<\/p>\n
For many users this year, refueling became as important to self-care as exercise and recovery. The percentage of ClassPass users who ordered food and beverage on ClassPass skyrocketed 121% year over year, indicating that meals, snacks, and coffee runs are now part of the holistic wellness experience.<\/p>\n
The most popular time to refuel was 12:00 p.m. The global (and North American) favorite? Smoothies. Coffee took the top spot in APAC and EMEA, while sandwiches were the top choice in LATAM.<\/p>\n
Viral fitness challenges like \u201c75 Hard\u201d and \u201c12-3-30″ are nothing new, but this year\u2019s breakout trend was \u201cThe Great Lock In\u201d. This TikTok phenomenon encouraged participants to \u201clock-in\u201d on personal goals from September through December.<\/p>\n
ClassPass saw immediate impact: between September 1st and October 10th, global fitness reservations increased 12%, with North America up 33%.<\/p>\n
Another standout? HYROX, the international fitness race that combines running with functional training. The trend took off this year, with ClassPass searches for HYROX classes jumping 506% globally, and reservations soaring 432% year over year.<\/p>\n
Team and community-based workouts like volleyball and basketball also increased 24% globally, highlighting that community is still one of the strongest motivators for movement.<\/p>\n
The rise of racquet sports\u2014up by 218% in North America\u2014played a major role in community-based reservation growth. Pickleball, in particular, contributed with a 748% reservation increase globally, and an incredible 1,100% in APAC, cementing its place as the world\u2019s social sport of choice.<\/p>\n
Pop culture played its part, too. Taylor Swift ruled not only the charts but also the studios, with nearly 30,000 Swift-themed classes booked this year\u2014almost double last year\u2019s total, likely driven by the release of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.<\/p>\n

Following close behind were Beyonc\u00e9, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter-themed class reservations, showing us that the best workout soundtracks are still powered by the Queens of Pop.<\/p>\n
With the highest number of reservations for the second year in a row, New York once again proved it truly is the city that never sleeps. But every city has its own fitness and wellness personality.
