Pilates reigned as Metro Detroit's top 2025 workout

• In the No. 2 and No. 3 spots: yoga and strength training.
• ClassPass data was compiled between Jan. 1 and Oct. 10 this year.

The intrigue: Parkour and postnatal classes were among the fastest-growing workouts nationally, according to ClassPass.

• And March (no, not January, resolution-makers) was the most popular month to do an exercise class.
