Design Critique: ClassPass—Pass or Fail?

ClassPass is a monthly subscription service where users can purchase credits that can then be exchanged for gym time, workout classes, beauty services, and more at participating locations.

Users can book classes at studios using the ClassPass website or via the ClassPass app. Each class is worth a different amount of credits depending on factors like the class type, studio, location, duration, and time of day. Once a user is signed up for a class, that amount of credits will be deducted from their monthly account.
