Try ClassPass Learn about our methodology

Every studio on this list earned its position the same way: by accumulating strong welcoming community-specific ClassPass member reviews over a full year. The data window runs January 2025 to February 2026, the review pool is 1,535 entries, and the 10 studios that qualified represent a real cross-section of Minneapolis and St. Paul's welcoming community market, from Pilates, yoga, Lagree from Minneapolis to Edina.

Ratings run 4.69 - 4.94. The gap between studios is smaller than it looks, which reflects how competitive Minneapolis and St. Paul's top tier has become. What separates them isn't scale. It's the consistency of the review signal for welcoming community specifically.
