If you’ve ever thought that lounging in a dark theater with popcorn sounds like the perfect wellness retreat, you’re in for a real treat! ClassPass, a beloved fitness and wellness membership, has just joined forces with AMC Theatres, letting their members swap workout credits for movie outings.
This exciting new feature is already generating buzz among both film lovers and fitness enthusiasts alike. ClassPass is reimagining self-care — sometimes, it’s all about kicking back in a plush seat while enjoying the latest blockbuster on a huge screen.
Since it launched back in 2013, ClassPass has been on a mission to streamline access to top-notch fitness, beauty, and wellness options. With its app, users can book classes at countless gyms, studios, and spas, which puts an end to the chaos of juggling multiple subscriptions.
Starting from Tuesday, the popular subscription will dive into the entertainment realm! According to an official press release, ClassPass members can redeem their existing credits for movie tickets at selected AMC Theatres right through the ClassPass app, including package deals for popcorn and drinks!
The response from fans online has been super positive. Recently, ClassPass shared the news on their Instagram page, and fans couldn’t hold back their excitement in the comments.
“Absolutely obsessed!!” gushed one user, while another chimed in, “Now that’s just awesome!”.
The initial rollout is happening in several states — including California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. But many fans from other states are already voicing their interest. “Bring it to NC!” shouted one, while a native New Yorker tweeted, “What about NY???”.
To calm the enthusiastic cheers of fans, ClassPass responded with reassurance, stating, “More locations are coming!”
This significant news opens up a broader chapter for ClassPass as they expand beyond traditional wellness activities.
In the press release, Fritz Lanman, CEO of Playlist, the parent company of ClassPass, spoke about the vision behind this expansion. He remarked, “Every consumer defines wellness in their own way, and our aim is to provide a wide array of options that cater to those definitions. We’re creating a platform that not only offers flexibility for accessing favorite experiences but also serves as a marketplace for underused resources.”
By venturing into entertainment, ClassPass emphasizes that wellness goes beyond just hitting the gym — it’s about savoring joy, unwinding, and engaging in the experiences you truly enjoy.
