ClassPass: Fitness, Spa, Salon

-----edit update: classpass has helped me resolve this issue. There had been a mistake in filling out the class review option. I tried to avoid filling it out by clicking "missed class" afterwards. I was refunded and it has been resolved. classpass is a great app with lots of options to workout at different places- but there are definitely small things like that needs improvement. ------ I've had class pass for almost a month now. While I really do like it, for me it's really been lacking in customer service. It's been over 4 days since I contacted customer service about me being incorrectly charged for supposedly missing a class. I specifically remember going to the class, but class pass charged me $20 for missing it. I contacted customer service, and have yet to hear back about what's being done. In another issue , I attended the wrong class and missed the original class, so I was charged $20 again. This yoga studio has 2 locations, and while I was aware of that, I thought that the location on the map for that scheduled class was for that specific location, which would make sense. I had not realized that the scheduled class and location did not match up with each other. I haven’t heard back about this, but I was already charged. My friend, who has the exact same issue as I did because we were together, was reimbursed immediately. I’m just frustrated because I feel like the app would be great if they were more responsive to customers.

I really liked classpass —still do in terms of the convenience it provides and the ability to let people try different studios or gyms without separate monthly bills. However, a recent search filter change that didn’t behave the way as expected resulted in me booking a class at a different location than I had intended. Not realizing it, I went to the studio I thought I booked only to be told it was a different location. I cancelled the class since I couldn’t get to the right location in time and would have wasted additional money. When I contacted support about it, the response was pretty much: “oh well”. I’ve been a member and fan for several years and have recommended this service to many friends and family. To not get some follow up on this was pretty disappointing especially since I had spent about $12 for an Uber to make it to the class on time. So overall, i lost out on $32 because of a UI change and the company won’t even waive the cancellation fee. It’s not a big loss, but I find the principle of not owning up to a the company’s mistake (in their interface) is pretty f-ed up. Customers should not be the ones that pay for that. I’ll be cancelling this membership (of 3 years) if this is how they resolve company-responsible issues. Side note: other features of the app are cool. The recent addition of videos at home are super convenient! And I still like the activity filter and time filter interactions.

Pros: you get to try out different classes and gyms for a really discounted rate (per class), no membership/commitment to a specific gym, can be used towards personal training sessions and other healthcare such as massages. Cons: you can only try a class or gym out 4x max but class pass doesn’t restrict the amount of times you book same class or gym on the app - so unfortunately you are told this by instructor (who needs a certain amount of people per class to get paid and ClassPass people don’t count)when he/she has seen you there 4x or more. If these are the rules, then app should restrict booking same class or gym after 4th time (so that it’s fair towards the instructors); also if you’ve paid for a cycle but get ill which happened to me and are not able to use the credits purchased, instead of rolling it over to the next cycle, you just lose them and start over. This really is unfortunate bc I paid for it and unfortunately lost all 45 credits bc I was unable to work out for 4-5 weeks. Another thing is that once you’ve booked a class, they are not able to refund you the credits if you cannot make it to a class for in case of emergency type cancellations (on the day of) and you could get charged $15 for not attending the class even if you have an emergency. Is there not a way to be able to cancel a class on the day of if you have an emergency and not get charged?

I can completely agree and testify to some of the reviews on ClassPass. Was a fan, but may cancel. I think it’s great that they give you the opportunity and access to health clubs. However, I made the mistake (a truly novice mistake) of cancelling and re-reserving then cancelling, resulting in two $15 cancellation fees. My wife and I wanted to take a spin class together (our first ever) while we were at work communicating via text. We were trying to book a class but realized that one of us couldn’t because there was only 1 spot left (since it was grayed out). So we were both juggling back and forth, cancelling, re-reserving, cancelling...just to realize - yes there was one spot left. We then ultimately both ended up cancelling and took a different class (yoga 🥵). It was great, hard and tough, but a week later I get 2 x $15 cancellation fees from the spin class we canceled and re-reserved within a span of 15 mins? Contacted the support team and they only waived 1/2 thus far. I get it, it’s a free trial and the company needs to make money where ever they can, but to realize this situation and see that it truly was a mistake should have better resolutions for people like me. I like the app don’t get me wrong - and I want to continue its partnership, but the customer service part is just eh. Not quite the first impression you want for new users.

I got a referral from a friend to try the app out. Since starting to use the app, I realized that I couldn’t really make my schedule work because of my work situation. I checked in the app 10 days before it reached 1 month to see if I need to pay any fee afterwards if I don’t buy more credits. The membership page shows “$0 monthly fee + xx credits” with no disclaimer. I didn’t see any information on the page saying I would be charged $xx on a future date. I let the customer service know about this feedback after I saw my credit card got charged. They don’t acknowledge the unclear description at all, just kept saying it’s the trial policy. Yes there is policy but still there is a better way to surface that information instead of making it vague on the account page. You don’t provide those kind of information as checking a box, but should help to inform customers more so they can easily evaluate whether they want to keep the service or not. They kept saying that if I downgraded to $10 per month I can keep my credits to try keep me using the service while I am already very frustrated with it. What a terrible customer experience, trapping customers to subscribe. I like the concept of ClassPass, but it doesn’t suit my work life well. Now after this experience, I will recommend my friends to not use it because of the service.
