ClassPass deploys war chest for Singapore market grab
Singapore
THE rivalry among fitness class booking apps here has just kicked up a notch, with New York-based ClassPass making its debut in Singapore on Tuesday, two weeks after announcing it had raised a fresh US$85 million war chest backed by Temasek Holdings.
ClassPass wants to be the world's "Netflix of studio fitness" and has partnered with 21 studios here to help subscribers find and book workout classes ranging from yoga to boxing. Other startups here with similar ambitions include GuavaPass, KFit and ActivPass.
