Q: Is ClassPass taking a large share of revenue from studios, or is the split fair?
The platform typically collects a small spread between what users pay and what is paid out to studios—around 10 percent in many cases—while covering its own overhead and services like marketing, technology, and support. This is framed as a fair, managed marketplace rather than a pure transaction, with ongoing discussions about rate adjustments based on studio needs.
