ClassPass vs a studio membership in London
Updated 20 October 2026. ClassPass figures are illustrative.
ClassPass sells monthly credits that you spend on classes at many studios. A studio membership gives you classes at one studio (or one chain). Which is cheaper depends on how often you go and how many credits your favourite classes cost.
What ClassPass costs
A ClassPass plan guide published for London School of Economics staff (ClassPass Corporate Employee FAQ Guide (London School of Economics staff wellbeing page), PDF dated 16 October 2025, read 20 October 2026) lists plans from £15 for 13 credits up to £130 for 120 credits. That guide is for a workplace scheme, so consumer plans and prices may differ: check the app.
Credits per class are not fixed. They depend on the studio, the time and demand. Londoners in a r/ClassPass thread report roughly 9 to 24 credits a yoga class.
A worked example (illustrative)
Say you go twice a week, about 8.7 classes a month. On the £69 plan (63 credits), that is £1.10 a credit:
- At 9 credits a class you would need about 79 credits: about £9.86 a class.
- At 24 credits a class you would need about 209 credits, more than that plan has: about £26.00 a class even on the biggest plan.
Compare that with studio memberships in our data. The cheapest unlimited options work out at MoreYoga £5.08, Core Clapton £5.77, Yogahome £9.81 a class at twice a week.
When each makes sense
- ClassPass suits you if you like variety, travel around London, or go to different studios for different styles, and you mostly book low-credit classes.
- A studio membership suits you if one studio is near home or work and you will go two or three times a week or more. Most memberships have minimum terms, so read them first.
- Not every studio is on ClassPass. MoreYoga, for one, says it has stepped away from ClassPass.
