Working out without a long contract at one gym comes down to two options: a fitness pass like ClassPass, or a gym chain with flexible terms. Here’s what suits you, and in which cities.
Two ways to train flexibly
Fitness pass
ClassPass
One membership with credits for yoga, pilates, boxing, spin and gym visits at studios across the city, and abroad too.
- Good if you like variety
- Good if you train one to three times a week
- Works in 28 other countries
Gym chain
Regular gym
A membership at one chain with a gym floor and classes. In the UK for example Fitness First, with 26 clubs, 17 of them in London.
- Good if you train three times a week or more
- Good if you want one fixed place
- Usually UK only

Frequently asked questions
How much does ClassPass cost in the UK?
It depends on the number of credits per month. Check the current prices with ClassPass.
Is ClassPass cheaper than a gym?
If you go to the gym three times a week or more, a regular gym is usually cheaper. If you like switching between studios, a fitness pass suits you better.
Can I use ClassPass on holiday?
Yes. Your credits work in every country where ClassPass is active, at that country’s prices.
Training somewhere else?
ClassPass works in 29 countries. Choose your country for the right prices and terms.
