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. Under Section 3(f), access continues through the end of the current prepaid Subscription Cycle after a cancellation, "unless you cancel and receive a refund in which case your access will be terminated immediately." ClassPass publishes no processing time and no timeline at all for a deceased-member request, because it publishes no deceased-member process and, since the September 2, 2026 Terms, no death provision.

Under ClassPass USA LLC (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 USA LLC (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, which hosts ClassPass's support chat. ClassPass does not offer phone support, and the Help Center's documented Live Chat route 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 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.
  • Say plainly that the member has died and that you are asking on behalf of the estate; ClassPass publishes no deceased-member form, so the request has to explain itself.
  • 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 a refund of the current prepaid period and of any charge billed after the date of death, knowing it is now a discretionary request rather than a published entitlement. Earlier versions of the ClassPass Terms carried a Section 3c refund of the current prepaid subscription period on relocation, disability, or death. That provision is no longer in the Terms. Section 3(c) now states that fees "are nonrefundable unless we specifically communicate otherwise at the time of purchase" and that ClassPass does "not provide refunds or make goods for any prior months including for unused credits, Zero-Credit Reservations, or Offerings."
  • Enclose a copy of the death certificate. ClassPass no longer states what proof it wants, but it is the document that lets Customer Experience treat the request as a death rather than an ordinary cancellation.
  • Identify each charge you are asking about by date and amount, especially any renewal that billed after the date of death.
  • Ask ClassPass to confirm in writing what it will and will not refund, so the estate has a record either way.
3
Understand what ClassPass says it does not refund. The Help Center is explicit: "We do not offer refunds for months of membership or additional credit purchases, including top-up credits and add-on packs," and it points to Section 3c of the Terms of Use for the full policy. That section is now the flat no-refund clause, so the Help Center article and the Terms agree on the outcome even though the article still refers to the old numbering.
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 the rollover article states that "if you cancel your membership: All remaining credits, including any rolled over or purchased ones, will be forfeited on the last day of your billing cycle." The Terms go further and say credits are not property and not an account balance in the member's favor. 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 foreclose both and ClassPass decides.
5
Look for an unredeemed ClassPass gift card, which is the one part of ClassPass that is not forfeited. Gift cards are a separate product from credits. The Gift Card Terms state that they "carry no expiration date, service charges, or dormancy fees," that title passes to the purchaser on transmission, and that they "may be subject to escheat to an appropriate state or territory if and as required by applicable unclaimed property laws." An unredeemed gift card code in the decedent's email or records is stored value the family can still use or list on the estate inventory.
6
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, and watch the next cycle date for a renewal that slipped through.

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 copy of the death certificate. ClassPass no longer publishes any proof requirement — the earlier Terms clause that let it "ask for proof of such changed condition" was removed with the death refund itself — but it is what distinguishes the request from an ordinary cancellation
  • The cycle date and the last few charges by date and amount, so a post-death renewal can be identified
  • 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, are not redeemable for cash, and the Terms of Use state they are "not property" and not "an account balance in your favor." The subscription automatically renews each month and bills the payment method on file under a standing authorization, 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 and purchased credits — expire immediately, and the rollover policy adds that they "will be forfeited on the last day of your billing cycle."

Not under the current Terms. Until recently ClassPass published one death-specific provision, in Section 3c, refunding the current prepaid subscription period where a membership was cancelled before the end of a charged period due to the member's relocation, disability, or death. The Terms of Use last updated September 2, 2026 no longer contain it — the words relocation, disability, and deceased do not appear anywhere in the document. Section 3(c) now reads: "Refunds. Generally, our fees (including the monthly fee for your membership and any other fees) are nonrefundable unless we specifically communicate otherwise at the time of purchase. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR MAKE GOODS FOR ANY PRIOR MONTHS INCLUDING FOR UNUSED CREDITS, ZERO-CREDIT RESERVATIONS, OR OFFERINGS." A survivor can still ask for the current period and for any renewal billed after the date of death, but it is now a request to ClassPass's discretion rather than something the Terms provide.

Ask ClassPass to cancel the membership. ClassPass does not offer phone support, and the Help Center's documented Live Chat route 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. After that, check the decedent's bank or card statement through the next cycle date to confirm the charge actually stopped.

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 credits" and that "your account is personal to you." They have no cash or set value, are not redeemable for cash, are not refundable, and are expressly stated not to be property. 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 scan of the entire ClassPass Help Center — all 159 articles — found no article mentioning a deceased member, an estate, an executor, a next of kin, or bereavement, while ordinary terms like credits, cancellation, and refunds appear throughout. A survivor handles a deceased member's account the ordinary way: contact Customer Experience to cancel the membership, and ask about the current period and any post-death charge. 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. The earlier Terms clause that let it "ask for proof of such changed condition" before refunding the current prepaid period was removed along with the death refund itself, so there is now no published proof requirement at all. Sending a copy of the death certificate, the account email address, the decedent's name and date of death, the cycle date, and documentation of the executor's authority (Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration, or a state small estate affidavit) up front is what distinguishes the request from an ordinary cancellation and 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.
