We’re not just using exercise for self-care though (after all, it takes more than just a workout to look after yourself). Recovery is on the up too, as 35% of ClassPassers have booked a beauty or spa appointment in the last 90 days.

Experts at ClassPass say that our obsession with recharging is no surprise given that the most booked type of workout is strength training – meaning our muscles need some TLC. But there’s more to our practice than just a classic stretch: treatments like recovery boots, light therapy and chiropractic services are taking post-workout care to a new level. This may be because of the novelty of being able to try new things post-lockdown, but equally, are we only good at ‘me time’ when it feels like we’re progressing? I for one know that an hour with an osteopath feels like a good use of my time because I can feel the payoff in my training. An hour relaxing at home in front of the TV? I’m not so good at it.
