I have to be honest.
It took me some time to get used to ClassPass system.
And some studios do not participate in the trial month, and all studios let us take only one class during the trial period.
This completely threw me off my original plan!!
So I had to take my time to study and plan my trial month move!
I would recommend people to sign up a day or two before you want to take the first class.
Also, in the beginning, the app did not work so great. I am not sure if it was just mine, but it just did not work. After a day or so, the app works seamlessly. So just in case, try to give yourself a little time before the first class, (but of course not so much as we only have a limited time for the trial.)
I joined ClassPass on January 16th, 2023.
My first class was on January 17th, 2023 Hot We Flow at the Performance Lab in Long Island City.
For the trial month, the ClassPass offers a really great deal. The class usually charges 13 credits, but for me, it was offered for 4 credits.
It was not that great and I would not go back for 13 credits in the future. The locker room situation was confusing and the class was just ok.
I contacted the YogaPass email support and chat to see how I could use my credits for the spa services… well… I found out that WE CANNOT USE our promotional credits for the spa options. Well.. it sucks.
Also, if we do not do anything, the membership will continue with the 43 credits per month option for $89.
I knew they had a $19 per month option for 8 credits, and I was thinking of MAYBE taking that 8 credits plan.
Though on the app, I could not see the option. It turned out that in order to sign up for the cheapest plan, we must contact customer service.
I am not sure why, but oh well… I changed it to the $19 per month plan so I will not automatically go into the $89 per month plan… for $19 per month 8 credits, I could be taking 2 hot yoga classes if I am careful with the time and place! That’s not bad.
The second class I took was Hot Vinyasa 60 at the Hot Yoga Chelsea NYC for 4 credits. (Usually 14 credits) on Jan. 18th 2023.
The class was great, but they try to sell their package very strongly after the class, and it was a little overwhelming for someone who just got an intense hot yoga experience and a yoga brain because of it… As a result, I left my yoga mat there.
When I called in to see if my mat was there, they try to sell me the package again. The class was great, and I am interested in taking the class there again. But I feel a bit pressured to hear the sales pitch again. The package price was great, but I just joined ClassPass. (Well… for free now…) It just does not make sense to buy a package from a yoga studio at this point… I wished they did not do pitch the sales to ClassPass trial people so strongly…
I took a break the next day and went back to practice on January 20th, 2023 WeFlowHard Vinyasa at Y7 Studio in Flatiron district for 4 credits (usually 14 credits). OMG, I LOVED IT! I would love to go back… but 14 credits is a fancy category… in the future.
The locker room situation was a little confusing as it was in the open space, but the class was great, the place was clean, and NO SALES PITCH!!
I went to pick up my yoga mat after taking the class at the Hot Yoga Chelsea, and they tried to sell me their class again… I mean… I really liked the class… but now I am scared to step into the studio because I cannot afford multiple yoga studio memberships right now!!
January 21st, 2023. It’s Saturday… I went back and forth about taking a class today…. but living in Queens I really did not want to deal with the weekend subway and bus situation to Manhattan. So I decided to try their digital class option.
I took the HIIT 1 with Ben Wegman, in the Intro Series! and it was so perfect!! Not too short, not too long. it is 20 min workout but it was great for someone who is … kind of … a beginner in working out… ( and out of shape).
I think these on-demand workouts are free for the subscriber. I now have hope for my $19 per month class passer future!
