Classpass Is a Monthly Membership That Grants Members Access to Thousands of Different Class at Studios and Gyms in 39 Cities Worldwide Backgrounder Overview: ClassPass is a monthly membership that grants members access to thousands of different class at studios and gyms in 39 cities worldwide. Memberships range depending on city and the number of classes preferred to take. ClassPass partners with over 8,500 fitness studios worldwide and offers options in boxing, martial arts, yoga, barre, pilates, spinning, HIIT training and much more. History: Founder of ClassPass, Payal Kadakia, found a way to channel her passion for dance into her work. As a graduate of MIT, Kadakia and her partner Mary Briggins began working on a startup called Classtivity which participated in a New York accelerator program TechStars. After participating, her original model transformed greatly. Classtivity went from a $49 monthly promotion to a $99 different pricing structure. Classtivity changed the name to ClassPass where they pitched a monthly gym-like membership for people who want a diverse exercise experience. By partnering with hundreds of studios, ClassPass offers its customers special prices at a variety of studios. Since its launch, ClassPass has had 30 million reservations made, partnered with 8,500 studios and branched to 39 cities.

At ClassPass, we encourage working out not just to look good, but because we believe a good sweat not only recharges your body, but refreshes your soul. The purpose of the ClassPass membership is not to simply facilitate workout classes. The ClassPass community encourages sweating in the company of others. We work to connect all of our members so that great people have the opportunity to meet other great people. ClassPass is also designed for those who value exploration and discovery. We want to introduce our members to workouts never done before, which is why we have partnerships with over 8,500 studios. Get moving and get happy. .

    An IMD and Cisco Initiative Competing in the Digital Vortex Value Vampires and Value Vacancies November 2015 Competing in the Digital Vortex Introduction In recent studies from the Global Center for Digital Business Transforma- tion (the DBT Center), an IMD and Cisco initiative, we showed that digital disruptors threaten to displace some 40 percent of market leaders within the next three years, and drive many companies out of business alto- gether. We then examined the three types of value that digital disruptors deliver—cost value, experience value, and platform value—and the digital business models behind each of them. We noted digital disruptors are most successful when they use these business models to practice “com- binatorial disruption,”—that is, blend these three forms of value to create Authors: offerings that are different from and better than those of incumbents.

In this paper, we introduce two competitive realities confronting firms today: the value vampire and the value vacancy. Value Andy Noronha vampires combine compelling forms of cost value—low cost or even free Michael Wade – with experience value and platform value to undercut incumbents and quickly win significant market share. Value vampires render higher cost offerings irrevocably obsolete. Most disturbing is the effect value vampires have on the markets they attack: overall revenue and profit margins are sucked dry, and do not return. The threat of digital disruption in general, and value vampires in particular, forces incumbents to seek new markets continually.

  • Consumer Electronics Show…What Does It All Mean?
    Consumer Electronics Show …what does it all mean? Disruptors, Innovators & Cash Cows – the best of CES 2018 www.juniperresearch.com Foreword Industry Outlook • CES is usually a reliable barometer for the state of tech industry and this year was no exception. The sector is, without doubt, experiencing a period of rapid expansion, with digital technologies permeating almost every vertical market. • The show itself has become a huge event. This was the biggest show in its 51 year history, encompassing almost every strand of digital transformation, with 2.75 million square feet of exhibition space, 300 conference streams and numerous press events and launch parties. Of particular interest this year was the expansion of Eureka Park, the platform for start-ups, inventors and entrepreneurs. This section of the show had doubled to over 900 micro exhibitors, a very healthy sign for the sector. So what’s new for 2018? • As usual there were lots of new product launches and initiatives, but no overwhelming headlines or brand new trends. CES 2018 was much less about the launch of new hardware categories or applications and much more about the continued evolutionary development to the established goals of smart people, cars, homes and cities. • The show was really about ‘ingredient technologies’. Those technologies that glue the industry together, or will enable future applications and solutions, ie 5G; AI; AR; VR; sensors; IoT etc and the movement to realising the goals above. In overall terms the industry could be seen as moving from a product-centric focus to more of a customer solution/service approach.
