ClassPass 2025 Look Back Report Reveals Key Fitness Trends

On December 9, 2025, ClassPass, a leading lifestyle app that offers access to a myriad of fitness and wellness experiences globally, published its annual Look Back Report. This initiative, based on millions of reservations made between January 1 and October 10, 2025, delves into the pivotal behaviors, cultural moments, and the evolving routines that have influenced how individuals engage with fitness and wellness throughout the year.

In-Person Experiences Continue to Thrive

According to Fritz Lanman, CEO of Playlist — the parent company of ClassPass — this year's findings indicate a significant consumer emphasis on in-person experiences that facilitate holistic wellness. He noted, "Consumers are crafting routines that align with their daily rhythms, opting for studios, spas, and salons that support their journey of movement, recovery, and nourishment in balanced, sustainable ways."

The report identified key trends that will shape the future of wellness engagement:

1. Pilates Remains a Global Favorite

For the third consecutive year, Pilates has been recognized as the most-booked workout across the globe. The popularity of this fitness method showed an impressive growth rate of 66% year over year, with over 27 million searches recorded in 2025 alone. This trend reinforces Pilates’ reputation as a staple for fitness enthusiasts.

2. Midday Movement Gains Traction

This year, there was a notable rise in the number of reservations made between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., with a growth of 38% globally. As professionals increasingly weave physical activity into their workday, midday movement is becoming an essential part of many people's routines.

3. Refueling Becomes Essential

In a striking shift, the percentage of ClassPass users ordering food and beverages through the app surged by 121% compared to the previous year. Smoothies, coffee, and sandwiches emerged as popular choices among users, reflecting a growing trend of integrating nutrition into fitness routines.

4. The Surge of Play-Based Fitness

This year also saw remarkable increases in reservations for play-based fitness activities. Racquet sports experienced a staggering growth of 111%, while HYROX saw an impressive 432% surge, and parkour also grew by 92%. These statistics illustrate a shift towards enjoying fitness in a more playful and engaging manner.

5. Cultural Influence on Fitness Engagement

The report highlights the impact of cultural events on fitness trends. Viral moments, like the launch of Taylor Swift's latest album, led to spikes in class bookings, with nearly 30,000 themed classes booked this year. This connection between cultural milestones and fitness illustrates how external factors can drive engagement.

Looking Ahead

The findings presented in the 2025 Look Back Report provide valuable insights into the continuous evolution of fitness and wellness practices among users. Amongst the shifting workout preferences and emerging restorative practices, it is evident the year ahead is poised to be characterized by balance, consistency, and personalization in wellness strategies.
