ClassPass will now enable fitness and wellness partners to offer live-streamed classes through the ClassPass app and website along with a Partner Relief Fund for users to donate to their favorite studios on the platform:

Ninety percent of our 30,000 partner studios have indefinitely closed their doors in the past two weeks, and many have already started to lay off their teams. It’s imperative that we act now to save these businesses that play such an important role in keeping our communities healthy,” added Fritz Lanman, ClassPass CEO. ClassPass will use its technology and database of over one million subscribers to bring much-needed revenue to studios and their employees.

“It’s never been more important for people to stay active and healthy. We’re excited to work with master instructors from studio partners around the world in creating high-quality content that helps consumers build healthy self-care into their new study-at-home and work-at-home routines,” added Kadakia.Reservations are open for upcoming livestream classes hosted by more than 500 fitness studios, including Fhitting Room, Mang’oh, Conbody, Training Lab, and Switch Playground.

“Working together with our valued partners, members and hopefully local and national governments, we can help these incredible fitness entrepreneurs weather this extremely challenging time,” concluded Kadakia. “The next few weeks are crucial for the health and wellness industry to survive,” added Lanman. “ClassPass has rallied to help our community of studios and fitness enthusiasts get through the coming weeks. We need our governments to intervene and help studios get through the coming years. Now is the time to come together as an industry.”
