Now with their latest investment round of$85 million led by Temasek they have rolled out a new standalone app, which will be huge for business travelers who want to stay fit.It is called ClassPass Go and it is an audio fitness class service, available on both iOS and Android. Users can choose from 500 workouts (with mora to be added each month) including running, cycling, yoga,strength training, dance, and HIIT.When building the app, we wanted to create a premium experience that ClassPass users have become accustomed to but that could be experienced in their living room, outdoors or at the gym, said Dhaval Chadha, Senior Product Manager of ClassPass Go. Im also particularly excited that t his offering will be free, removing one of the biggest barriers to entry for people looking to develop a fitness routine.The audio guides will, of course, be taught by first-rate instructors providing you with a full, satisfying workout no matter what time or the place. Audio workouts are one of the fastest growing categories in digital fitness given the convenience and flexibility, Fritz Lanman, ClassPass CEO, said in a statement.Working out when you travel is getting easier and easierThis is just the latest fitness brand to support business travelers.
