Best of ClassPass 2022 Award Winners Announced
The 2022 awards highlight the importance of fitness and wellness instructors, experiences, & studios following a tough few years for the industry
ClassPass announced its 2022 list of top U.S. studios and instructors last week. The winners are determined through a variety of methods, including using reservation data and social media nominations. The winning categories include the Innovator Award (introduced for the first time), Best Fitness Studio Award, Best Instructor Award, and Best Wellness Business Award.
The Innovator Award went to HAUM Yoga in San Francisco, CA, and Blueberry Moon Salon Spa in Chicago, IL. HAUM honors the rich history of yoga with a modern twist in San Francisco, offering Hatha, Vinyasa, Restore, and Flow + Restore. Every three months, HAUM has the “Art of Yoga” event that honors queer or bipoc artists. Blueberry Moon is a boutique and spa in Lincoln Park, Chicago, with a passion for cruelty-free beauty and a dedication to style and wellness. Most of their products are vegan, and they are dedicated to selling brands that are transparent about sourcing.
The ClassPass Best Fitness Studio Award 2022 had a variety of winners: MOXI3 in Costa Mesa, CA, High Ride Cycle in Orange County, CA, City Cycle in Seattle, WA, and SESSION Pilates in Dallas, TX. From strength classes to beat-based cycling, to a modern twist on Pilates, each studio offers something different to its clients. All the studios, however, are focused on creating a community, which keep their members coming back for more.
Best Instructor went to Allisa Benson at High Ride Cycle, Joe Stacy at Motion Fitness Studio, Kassem Osheroff at Burn 60, Ilana Brizel Maider at Prime Cycle and Body, and Tiffany Daenecke at Form50. All of the instructors have different areas of focus in the fitness and wellness space. However, they all try to be genuine, relatable, and inclusive as instructors, which has given them a dedicated following.
Lastly, Best Wellness Business went to Dop Dop Salon in New York, NY, THE WELL in New York, NY, Glow Sauna Studios in Dallas, TX, Blu Life Wellness in Escondido, CA, and WAX Melrose in Los Angeles, CA. From Dop Dop, which focuses on innovating hair care, to THE WELL, which is a complete ecosystem for wellness, to the saunas of Glow and Blu Life, to skin services at WAX, each studio offers something different. However, all the studios focus on getting personal with their clients and personalizing offerings.
ClassPass’s Best of Awards represent the studios and instructors invigorating and innovating the industry. Although all different, the awards represent the power of community and personalization in the world of health and wellness.
