Bilt fitness just got a major expansion, and it changes how cardholders can turn everyday workouts into rewards. As of May 28, 2026, Bilt has partnered with Mindbody to let members discover, book, and earn points on classes at more than 7,000 fitness studios across the country, all from inside the Bilt app. This is one of the more interesting moves Bilt has made outside of housing and travel, and it deserves an honest look at what you actually get.
Here’s the quick version. You can now book a class, pay with points or a linked card, and earn 1X Bilt points on the spend. The network spans big national names and the small studio around the corner. Whether that’s worth your attention depends entirely on how you already book your workouts, and I’ll get into that below.
What The Bilt Fitness Partnership Means
The partnership connects Bilt directly to Mindbody, the booking platform that powers a huge share of boutique studios, spas, and salons. Mindbody reports more than 2.8 million active users and over 20 years running the back end for everything from single-location yoga studios to global franchises. By plugging into that system, Bilt expands its total neighborhood fitness network to more than 7,000 studios nationwide.
The strategic logic is straightforward. Bilt’s whole pitch is that the money you spend around where you live should earn something back. Rent on the 1st, a class on the 2nd, dinner on the 3rd. Fitness is a recurring, location-based expense for a lot of people, so folding it into the rewards ecosystem fits the brand cleanly. It also makes Bilt one of the only large loyalty programs to integrate boutique fitness this deeply rather than treating it as an afterthought redemption category.
How To Book Fitness Classes And Earn Bilt Points
Booking happens in two places inside the Bilt app: the Fitness tab or the Bilt Concierge. You browse studios, pick a class, and book. When you pay, you can use Bilt points, Bilt Cash, any linked card, or your Bilt card. Paying with a linked card or your Bilt card is what earns you 1X Bilt points on the transaction.
Bilt also rolled out new discovery features alongside the launch. There are personalized recommendations based on your workout preferences and an improved search that lets you filter by class type, so you can sort by yoga, Pilates, CrossFit, bootcamp, and more across locations. The discovery layer is arguably the bigger story here than the points, because finding a good local class has always been the friction point, not paying for it.
Which Studios And Brands Are Included
The headline brands named in the launch are F45, Orangetheory, Bodyrok, and ID Hot Yoga. Beyond those marquee names, the integration pulls in thousands of independent local studios that were already running on Mindbody. That mix is the real value. Chain workouts are easy to find anywhere, but the long tail of neighborhood studios is where Bilt’s network actually differentiates itself.
It’s worth noting the network reaches well beyond major metros. Bilt specifically called out that the expanded inventory brings neighborhood fitness rewards to members across the country, not just in the largest cities. If you’ve felt like points programs never cover anything near you, this is the kind of expansion that addresses it.
How Many Points You Earn
You earn 1X Bilt points per dollar on fitness class spend. Say a class costs $30. That’s 30 Bilt points. It’s important to note that these are points earned on top of whatever you credit card already earns, so they’re just extra, free points, and there’s no reason to not earn them – however little they may be!
Booking through Bilt is not a points-earning windfall. Certainly not compared to the thousands I earn each month from my rent payments and normal spending with the Palladium card. But the points are a light bonus layered on top of spending you were going to do anyway. The genuine upside is convenience and discovery: one app to find, book, and pay, with a small reward attached. If you stack it with your Bilt card for the earn and you were already paying for classes, it’s free incremental value. Just don’t expect the points alone to justify a single booking decision.
Who Should Use This (And Who Should Skip It)
Use it if you already book boutique classes regularly, you want everything in one app, and you like earning a little something on spend you’d make regardless. Renters deep in the Bilt ecosystem who are already paying rent, dining, and traveling through Bilt will find this a natural add. The discovery and search upgrades alone may be worth opening the Fitness tab.
Skip it, or at least don’t reorganize your routine around it, if you already get a better per-class rate through a studio membership, a class pack, or a service like ClassPass. The 1X earn is too small to outweigh a meaningfully cheaper booking elsewhere. Also skip it if your local studios aren’t on Mindbody, since the network depends entirely on that integration. Check the app for what’s actually near you before assuming coverage.
