Fritz Lanman, CEO of ClassPass discusses the company's announcement of 'ClassPass Live,' which will launch in the first quarter of 2018. The new live subscription classes are proprietary to ClassPass, and were created for the consumer that does not have time to go to fitness studios.
The subscription service will cost $15 per month for non-existing ClassPass users, and $10 per month for those that already have a membership. The classes will focus on high-intensity workouts for the consumer looking to get in a "quick sweat" from home.

Kraft Heinz is splitting into two companies a decade after they joined in a massive merger that created one of the biggest food companies on the planet. One of the companies will include brands such as Heinz, Philadelphia cream cheese and Kraft Mac & Cheese. The other will include brands like Oscar Mayer, Kraft Singles and Lunchables. When the company formed in 2015 it wanted to capitalize on its massive scale, but shifting tastes complicated those plans, with households seeking to introduce healthier options at the table. Kraft Heinz's net revenue has fallen every year since 2020.
