Since 2013, ClassPass has been a great option for fitness enthusiasts to enjoy the benefits and unique vibe of boutique fitness studios without juggling multiple (and costly) memberships…in large metro markets, like NYC, LA, Chicago, and Miami. I just learned that ClassPass is also in Grand Rapids and other large cities through out Michigan (since 2021). If you haven’t heard about this subscription-based program, here are some resources to get you up to speed…
