ClassPass released its sixth annual Best of ClassPass awards on March 10, 2026, recognizing standout studios, instructors, gyms, spas, and, for the first time in the program's history, food and beverage partners across a global footprint spanning 24 countries.

Winners were selected through a combination of reservation data and member voting, reflecting the businesses ClassPass members are actually booking and returning to most often. That methodology has evolved alongside the platform's reach: the 2022 edition drew on over 15,000 personal user nominations and was limited to North America; the 2026 awards now operate at a genuinely global scale.

For the yoga community, the Best Boutique Studios category is where the action is. Yoga Box in Denver, Colorado made the list alongside TruFusion in Las Vegas, Class Studios in Dallas, HiReformance Institute in Jacksonville, Florida, and Solidcore City Center in Philadelphia. On the instructor side, Lauren Bristow of Yoloha Yoga in Charleston, South Carolina earned recognition alongside Adam Schwarzlose of Shine Hot Pilates in Dallas, Victoria Gasiorowski of Sweat DC, Sara West of SaltVault Hot Pilates in Encinitas, California, and Joshua Floyd of Lion Chaser Fitness in Atlanta. These aren't curated picks from a marketing team; they reflect where members are actually showing up, clipping in, and coming back.

The gyms category recognized East Austin Athletic Club in Austin, The 12 in Orange County, Body High Fitness in Chicago, Revel Fit Club in San Diego, and Emerald City Athletics in Seattle. Spas and salons honored included Clean Your Dirty Face in Denver, Aviary Beauty in Atlanta, Aurora Nails Bar in Miami, Moov in Frisco, Texas, and La Breeze Spa in Los Angeles.

The most significant structural change in this year's awards is the introduction of the Best Food and Beverage Business category. ClassPass reported that orders for food and beverages through the app increased 121 percent year-over-year in 2025, citing growing member demand for post-workout meals, coffee, and wellness-oriented dining. No named F&B winners were included in the initial published excerpts, but the category's arrival signals that ClassPass is positioning itself as something broader than a class-booking tool.

That trajectory has been building for a while. Back in 2022, Kinsey Livingston, then Vice President of Partnerships at ClassPass, framed the awards as a celebration of community favorites: "The Best of ClassPass award winners represent users' favorite wellness experiences across North America, whether it's their favorite instructor who kicked their butt in the best way, the most rejuvenating spa experience, or a business that was too pretty not to take a photo for Instagram." The 2026 edition carries that same spirit but at considerably larger scale, with the North America focus now expanded to cover winners across 24 countries. The full global winner lists, including the new F&B category, are available through ClassPass's platform.
