Tribe has the honour of being one of four official Pan Am cheer stations along the marathon route and we need you voice, cheer signs, noise makers, and pom poms to join us!

Wild About It: Class Pass

The buzz has been all over social media, and yesterday I had the honour of attending the official launch event for ClassPass Toronto , at Hard Candy Fitness.

ClassPass is a monthly fitness membership which gets members into over 100 of some of Toronto’s hottest boutique fitness studios for one cheap price.

I was floored when I saw the number and quality of studios who have affiliated themselves with ClassPass, they have anything and everything that’s hot. With just one monthly subscription you can work out at Studio Lagree, CYKL, Barreworks, Misfit, Hard Candy Fitness, IAM Yoga, Barre3, Yoga Tree, StriveLife, Alpha Obstacle Training, and over 80 others all over the city!

Take yoga today, indoor cycling tomorrow, and barre, bootcamp, or boxing this weekend! With ClassPass you can workout as often as you want and mix up your routine. A subscription comes with an unlimited number of total monthly classes, and up to 3 classes per month at each participating studio. So essentially you can take 300 classes a month for $69-$99 – crazy!

To celebrate their launch in Toronto, ClassPass are offering subscriptions at the special launch price of $89 CAD per month! This special offer (reduced from their standard price of $99 CAD) is limited-time only for their first users in Toronto. Don’t miss out!

If you’d like to lock-in even lower pricing, you may also commit to a 3-month subscription for $79 CAD per month, or a 6-month subscription for $69 CAD per month. Choose whichever option works best for you.Another cool feature is that ClassPass is international! You can use your Toronto pass in NYC, LA, Chicago, Boston, Vancouver, London (England), and so many other places. Check it out and save big on your next sweat!

UPDATE: Limited time pricing offers are no longer available. May 2015.
