Rate classes. Trust friends. Find your vibe. Classd is the social fitness app for boutique class culture. Score your workout, track your studios, follow your friends, and finally know which classes — and which instructors — are actually worth it. Moving to a new city? Traveling for work? Trying to break out of your routine? Stop guessing which studio is worth your time. Classd shows you what people you trust are loving — and what's overhyped. Why Classd? You've spent enough money on classes that weren't worth it. You've taken a class with an instructor your friend warned you about — after the fact. You've moved to a new city and had no idea where to start. You've spent hours scrolling reviews from strangers who don't share your taste. Classd fixes that. What you can do Score every class out of 10 — instructor, vibe, music, intensity. Tag heated vs. not heated. Add a note. Snap a photo. Follow your friends — see what they're rating in real time. No more group-text reviews lost in the void. Discover studios in any city — perfect for traveling, moving, or just expanding your routine. Filter by Pilates, Cycle, HIIT, Barre, Yoga, Boxing, and more. Filter by instructor — see which teachers actually deliver. Real reviews from real people. Save your favorites — bookmark studios you love, build a wishlist of ones you want to try. Build your streak — log consistently, climb the archetypes from "Just Getting Started" to "Luxury Pilates Maxxer." Find your people — see followers, following, and friends who've been to your studio. Tap any review to dive into a profile. Made for studio culture Classd is built for how you actually talk about classes. A 7/10 class is genuinely good. A "5-star" review tells you nothing about whether the instructor talks too much or whether the studio runs heated. We made the rating system match the conversation. Every studio profile shows real ratings, top instructors, friend visits, vibe tags, and reactions. Every review is honest, opinionated, and from someone whose taste you trust.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Classd at free against FORMAT Fitness's free with in-app purchases. Classd also leads on device support (3 vs 1). FORMAT Fitness's advantage is ratings volume (177 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
