Today we speak with Megan Smyth CEO and cofounder of FitReserve, the company allowing you to mix-and-match workouts across studios and classes. After spending 7 years on Wall Street, entrepreneurship called Megan’s name. Through cofounding GoRecess and working with the Nike+ Accelerator, the company morphed into FitReserve. Megan, an avid runner and dedicated gym rat, is just as dedicated to NYC’s growing tech ecosystem and goes the distance to give back to the community supporting women and men alike.

"FitReserve, a multi-studio membership plan that already operates in New York and Boston, launches in D.C. today, allowing users to take boutique fitness classes at more than 60 area studios and gyms."

"The boutique fitness scene has grown by 450 percent since 2010, with more than 100,000 fitness boutiques across the U.S. for everything from yoga and Pilates to Barre, cycling, boxing and boot camps. Multi-studio memberships such as FitReserve make it possible for consumers to sample any one of the dozens of member partner studios for one monthly fee."

"There are advantages to FitReserve particularly since they are 'the only monthly multi-studio membership that offers access to all class times at top studios'."

"FitReserve allows variety-loving gym rats to take classes at boutique studios all over town.There are no blackout periods, so any class on a participating gym’s schedule is fair game. FitReserve members also get discounts at wellness businesses including Instacart, Thrive Market, and SweatStyle."

"FitReserve spices up the workout game with D.C. launch....Say goodbye to the days of having a gym membership to one specific gym, and say hello to adding variety into your daily workout routine. "

"FitReserve’s menu reads like a Who’s Who of the city’s most buzzed about and desirable studios...Whether your thing is yoga, pilates, barre, spinning, rowing, CrossFit, boot camp or dance, there are attractive options for you."

"Gym-goers can build their personalized workout schedule by taking advantage of the complete class offerings at all partner studios. Due to FitReserve, users may attend, say, a pilates class on Tuesday and an indoor cycling class on Thursday, and maybe try a boxing class just for fun."

"Currently, FitReserve partners with 85 studios in Boston; check the full list here. In October 2015, when the company started its rollout in the city, partner studios were at 35....its headquarters are in New York, where it partners with 425 studios."

"Since launching in New York City in 2015, Co-Founders Megan Smyth and Bill Arzt have been able to do just that, growing their studio footprint, bringing on name-brand partners like Barry’s Bootcamp and Bar Method and offering consumers more than 60,000 classes to choose from per month. The company expanded to Boston and has other local roll-outs on-deck for the coming months."

"While this ClassPass competitor may seem the same or a bit more expensive at first glance, if you’re going to shell out the dough, it’s a better investment. Gyms who sign up with FitReserve have to offer their full class schedule, instead of reserving some only for members. Plus, you get four visits per month per studio, instead of three."

"Peak time slots. Stress free booking. Good mix of classes."

"We’ve used other fitness booking memberships in the past and remembering to sign up at an exact time each week gave us severe anxiety. We really enjoyed that FitReserve gave us access to desirable classes at peak times (before and after work) and we were able to book our spots at our leisure. We never had an issue getting into a desired class with FitReserve."

"What really sets FitReserve apart is that ability to access peak class times."

"For those of us who seek out something new, it’s an effective way to sample a range of activities at in-demand studios."
