ClassPass analyzed thousands of reservations made on their platform over the past year to create the 2022 ClassPass & Mindbody Look Back Report. Here are some of the trends they found around fitness and wellness.
Fastest growing workouts
Sculpt classes – often a subset of Pilates, yoga and strength training — were the fastest growing workout of 2022 with a 471% increase in bookings from January to October. Acro Yoga also saw growth, with reservations increasing 200% in 2022. So, if you’re looking to improve your flexibility and try your hand at acrobatics, might be a good time to give it a go.
Most popular workouts
Strength training continues to be the most popular workout of 2022 for the second year in a row. Not only did it hold the top spot year-over-year but people also actually attended strength training classes more often in 2022 than 2021 —there was a 94% increase in reservations from 2021 to 2022.
As exercising expands beyond just breaking a sweat, for the first time ever, stretching also made the top 10 fitness reservations list. Whether it’s recovery, preventative, or a low impact way to get your blood flowing, it’s important to incorporate stretching into your routine.
And if you are a newbie, you are most likely to be found on a bike. The most popular first class on ClassPass is a cycling class.
Most popular day to workout
You are most likely to see a packed class on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. — the most popular time and day to workout. Classes that are 60 minutes are most likely to book out, and the 60-minute slot is the most-popular class length.
Most popular month to workout
While it may seem that January is a popular time to get back into a fitness routine, the most popular months to workout were actually August and September. This proved “back to school” season is also “back to the gym” season.
