Wittels McInturff Palikovic is investigating complaints from business owners regarding ClassPass’s potentially fraudulent practice of miscalculating the earnings paid to ClassPass partner businesses.
Upon investigation, evidence suggests that ClassPass may be violating its agreements with respect to payments in order to underpay studios, gyms, wellness and beauty venues that partner with ClassPass and keep the extra revenue for itself. WMP has already filed class actions against companies that have engaged in similar deceptive practices and may file similar lawsuits on behalf of ClassPass partner businesses to recover earnings underpayments.
Founded in 2013, ClassPass claims to be “revolutionizing the fitness and wellness industry,” but complaints from business owners paint a darker picture. Business owners accuse ClassPass of continually underpaying their businesses, and allege that once ClassPass signs up a large enough number of studios in a local area that ClassPass further decreases payouts to studios, or “pushes the payouts even lower.” Other studio partners say ClassPass is a “horrible company to work with.” Partner studios also claim that ClassPass are “thieves” who have a “lack of attention to critical matters like pay.” Studio owners further allege that although ClassPass is supposed to provide partner businesses with dynamic pay — meaning that studios are supposed to receive larger payouts for busier classes — that ClassPass instead pays “close to the minimum payout” even for classes that are “completely full.”
If you are the owner of a studio, gym, wellness or beauty venue that partners with ClassPass and believe ClassPass may have underpaid you the earnings you are owed, you are not alone! We urge you to contact a class action attorney at WMP for a free case evaluation. Should a lawsuit be brought, there is no cost or fee involved in joining the case.
