Timeline

Billing stops once the cancellation is processed. ClassPass recommends submitting a cancellation at least 48 hours before the renewal date so the next charge does not run, and it confirms every cancellation by email. ClassPass publishes no processing time for the Section 3c relocation, disability, or death refund of the current prepaid period, and no timeline at all for a deceased-member request, because it publishes no deceased-member process.

Verified Jul 2026

Under ClassPass Inc. (Mindbody)'s terms, ClassPass credits do not constitute property of the account holder and are forfeited when the account is closed upon death. There is no established process for transferring credits to heirs or the estate.

Families have occasionally received goodwill accommodations from ClassPass Inc. (Mindbody), but these are not part of the published terms and cannot be relied upon.

What to do

When a ClassPass account holder dies, these are the steps to take:

1
Contact ClassPass Customer Experience and ask them to cancel the membership so the recurring monthly charge stops. Start at classpass.com/contact. ClassPass does not offer phone support, and its Live Chat is reached by logging in to the member's own account, so a survivor who does not have their own access should make the request in writing through the contact page rather than through the decedent's login.
  • Give the email address the ClassPass account was opened under, so Customer Experience can locate it.
  • ClassPass sends a cancellation confirmation email; the Help Center states that if no confirmation email arrives, "your request was not received."
  • Timing matters: ClassPass recommends submitting a cancellation at least 48 hours before the renewal date so the next charge does not process.
2
Ask for the death refund of the current prepaid subscription period. Section 3c of the Terms of Use provides a refund of the current prepaid subscription period when a subscription is cancelled before the end of a period for which a charge was incurred due to the member's relocation, disability, or death. It is not part of the cancellation flow and is not automatic — it has to be requested.
  • ClassPass "may ask for proof of such changed condition," so send a copy of the death certificate with the request.
  • ClassPass reserves the right to charge for any offerings or other services used before the cancellation.
  • Also ask about any subscription charge that billed after the date of death, so the payment method is not left carrying post-death renewals.
3
Understand what the refund does not cover. ClassPass does not refund months of membership or additional credit purchases, including top-up credits and add-on packs. The Section 3c death refund reaches the current prepaid subscription period only, not the credits themselves.
4
Do not count on recovering or moving the credits. Credits have no cash or set value, are not transferable or refundable, are not redeemable for cash, cannot be combined with or transferred to another account, and expire immediately when the subscription is cancelled or terminated. A survivor may still ask ClassPass, as a courtesy, to refund unused purchased and rolled-over credits or to move them to a family member's ClassPass account, but the Terms of Use foreclose both and ClassPass decides.
5
Check the payment method for other charges. If the card or bank account the ClassPass membership billed to belonged to the decedent, confirm with the bank that the subscription has actually stopped after ClassPass processes the cancellation.

Required Documents

  • The email address the ClassPass account was opened under, so Customer Experience can locate the account
  • The decedent's full name and date of death
  • A certified copy of the death certificate — the Terms of Use let ClassPass "ask for proof of such changed condition" before refunding the current prepaid period
  • Documentation of the requester's authority (Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration, or a state small estate affidavit) if ClassPass asks who is making the request. ClassPass publishes no document list for a deceased member, so what it requires is determined case by case

Frequently asked questions

The membership and the credits are forfeited. Credits are specific to a single ClassPass account, have no cash or set value, are not transferable or refundable, and are not redeemable for cash. The subscription automatically renews each month and bills the payment method on file "until your subscription is cancelled or terminated," so the charge keeps running until a survivor asks ClassPass to stop it. When the subscription is cancelled or terminated, unused credits, including rolled-over credits, expire immediately.

One thing. ClassPass does not refund months of membership or additional credit purchases, including top-up credits and add-on packs. But Section 3c of its Terms of Use provides a refund of the current prepaid subscription period where a subscription is cancelled before the end of a period for which a charge was incurred due to the member's relocation, disability, or death. ClassPass reserves the right to charge for offerings used before the cancellation and may ask for proof of the changed condition, so send a death certificate with the request. The refund is not automatic and is not part of the cancellation flow — it has to be asked for.

Ask ClassPass to cancel the membership. ClassPass does not offer phone support, and its Live Chat is reached by logging in to the member's own account, so a survivor who does not have their own access should make the request through the ClassPass contact page at classpass.com/contact, giving the email address the account was opened under. ClassPass recommends that a cancellation be submitted at least 48 hours before the renewal date so the next charge does not process, and it sends a confirmation email — if no confirmation arrives, the Help Center says the request was not received.

Not under the terms. Credits are specific to a single ClassPass account and "cannot be combined or transferred to another ClassPass account," and the Terms of Use state a member "may not sell, transfer, trade, gift, or otherwise exchange ClassPass credits." They have no cash or set value, are not redeemable for cash, and are not refundable. A survivor can still ask ClassPass, as a courtesy, to refund unused purchased and rolled-over credits or move them to a family member's account, but that is a request against the terms rather than a right, and ClassPass decides.

No. ClassPass publishes no deceased-member, bereavement, or estate process — a search of its Help Center for "deceased", "death", "estate", and "bereavement" returns no articles. A survivor handles a deceased member's account the ordinary way: contact Customer Experience to cancel the membership, and request the Section 3c refund of the current prepaid period. Because ClassPass publishes no process, a written request setting out the executor's authority under the will's digital-assets clause and state law is how the ask gets made.

ClassPass publishes no document list for a deceased member, because it publishes no deceased-member process. What the Terms of Use do say is that ClassPass "may ask for proof of such changed condition" before refunding the current prepaid period, so a certified copy of the death certificate should accompany the request. Sending the account email address, the decedent's name and date of death, and documentation of the executor's authority (Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration, or a state small estate affidavit) up front avoids a round trip.

Under the official terms, credits have no value after the account holder dies. The only way to preserve the value of ClassPass credits is to redeem, transfer, or share them while the account is active.
