What’s New on Classpass: How College Students in NYC Can Fuel Their Fitness

We all know being a full-time college student, with a full-time job, and living in New York City can get stressful and expensive. Prioritizing mental health through working out has become a healthy lifestyle choice for many, especially since Covid-19 lockdown.

Classpass is an app that has been trending on all social media platforms. It’s a space where anyone can pay a small monthly fee to access hundreds of group fitness classes, nail salons, and gyms. The app is designed for people who like to venture out and try new things; for example, on Classpass, you can do cycling one day and pilates the next. It is also great for those who aren’t a big fan of committing to a gym membership.

 Classpass has not only become a platform for booking workouts at an affordable membership price, but it has now expanded to beauty and spa services as well. The reason Classpass is a great outlet for students based in New York City, is because the city has the most amenities and locations around to choose from.

Getting out of the routine of at-home workouts post quarantine can be a difficult transition. Going to a gym can be intimidating and overwhelming when it comes to nailing down a workout routine and learning how to use each machine.

One of the many perks to Classpass is being in the group fitness setting. Group fitness classes are a great way to meet new people that share similar interests as you. For those who haven’t found their outlet in the fitness community, having a space to try out classes from cycling, barre, and pilates, at any location can be a great way to find your favorite type of workout.

Locations to redeem these classes include many well-known chains, such as Soulcycle, Rumble, Solidcore, and Barry’s, which can be found all over New York City. These chain group fitness studios are known for being extremely expensive yet very impactful. Through Classpass, these workouts are available to anyone as what feels like a free trial since you can book classes to try before you commit to the real thing.  

Fuelling your fitness through group workouts that are fun and affordable, is a great way to become part of the fitness community. Committing is overrated and having unlimited workout styles and options in a big city can be great, especially for college students who are looking to branch out socially and meet new people.
