Do you need to reserve a gym visit before you go?
Yes, you reserve a gym visit before you go, the same way you reserve a class. Open the gym’s page in the ClassPass app or on the website, pick a time, and confirm. The reservation shows your check-in window. The times you can pick are shown on the gym’s page in the app.
Do you need to fill out a form or waiver before your first visit?
Some gyms require a one-time registration or waiver before your first visit. Check the “How to prepare” section on the gym’s page in the app or the email about your reservation. Complete the form before you go and show any confirmation at the front desk along with your reservation.
When can you check in at the gym?
When you can check in depends on the time you’ve reserved for your gym visit. The check-in window opens shortly before your booked time and closes before your visit ends.
When does the check-in window open and close?
The check-in window usually opens 15 minutes before your reservation starts and closes 30 minutes before it ends. Some gyms set different times. For example, if you reserve a visit from 9am to 11am, you can usually check in between 8:45am and 10:30am.
What happens if you arrive before or after the check-in window?
If you arrive before the check-in window opens, you’ll need to wait until you can check in on the app. Once the window closes, the check-in screen is no longer available and the gym may not be able to let you in.
What do you show at the gym front desk?
Show the check-in screen in the ClassPass app at the front desk. You don’t need a membership card or anything printed.
What happens if you miss a check-in or cancel?
Gym reservations usually don’t carry a late-cancellation or no-show fee. Individual gyms may have their own policies. Classes and other reservations follow the standard ClassPass cancellation policy.
Can you cancel a gym reservation?
Yes, you can cancel a gym reservation until the check-in window opens. If you know you can’t make it, it is best to cancel before the window opens rather than miss the reservation.
What if you miss your gym reservation?
If you miss a gym reservation, tap “I missed this” on the review screen. ClassPass will usually return your credits without charging a fee, though individual gyms may have different policies. If you still want to go, simply reserve another visit.
