As of September 27, 2026, Playlist, the private parent of ClassPass and Mindbody, has not filed a Form S-1 or F-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on SEC EDGAR, and no IPO date has been announced. On June 18, 2026, Athletech News reported that Playlist named Palantir chief financial officer David Glazer to its board, roughly two months after closing its $7.5 billion merger with EGYM; at the ATN Innovation Summit, CEO Fritz Lanman said of a future IPO, "I think, most likely, (we) are doing that as a public company." That merger, reported by TechCrunch on March 31, 2026, closed with $785 million in new equity funding led by Affinity Partners alongside Vista Equity Partners, Temasek and L Catterton, and marked a pivot away from Mindbody-ClassPass's 2024 IPO exploration toward the rebranded Playlist identity adopted in 2025. Lanman's comment is a stated intention, not a filing or a confirmed timeline, and SEC EDGAR only covers US filings, so any non-US registration would not appear there. Track SEC EDGAR and Playlist's own newsroom directly for confirmation, not secondary-market chatter.
Athletech News reported on June 18, 2026 that Playlist named Palantir chief financial officer David Glazer to its board, about two months after the company closed its $7.5 billion merger with EGYM. At the ATN Innovation Summit, CEO Fritz Lanman said of a future IPO, "I think, most likely, (we) are doing that as a public company."
That is an executive's stated view of the most likely outcome, not a filing, a timeline, or a board vote to proceed. Playlist is the rebranded identity the combined ClassPass and Mindbody business adopted in 2025, and Glazer's appointment followed the EGYM deal rather than a separate IPO-preparation announcement.
The deal that created Playlist
TechCrunch reported on March 31, 2026 that the company behind ClassPass and Mindbody closed a $7.5 billion merger with EGYM, including $785 million in new equity funding led by Affinity Partners, with Vista Equity Partners, Temasek and L Catterton also participating.
The merger marked a pivot away from Mindbody-ClassPass's 2024 IPO exploration and toward the rebranded 'Playlist' identity the combined company adopted in 2025. Lanman's later comments about a future public listing came after this deal closed, not before it.
What would actually confirm an IPO
Neither the board appointment nor the CEO's remark is an IPO step. A public Form S-1 or F-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and visible on SEC EDGAR, or a specific listing date from Playlist leadership, would be the first verifiable signal that a listing process has begun. Neither exists as of September 27, 2026, and SEC EDGAR only covers US filings, so a non-US listing would not appear there.
Any specific 'Playlist IPO date' circulating online remains speculation until the company or a filing says otherwise. Segmara does not sell or broker shares and does not predict listing timing.

Searches like 'When Will Playlist IPO? CEO Says Going Public Is 'Most Likely'' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.
What counts as a listing step
For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.
Segmara role
Segmara takes reviewed pre-IPO allocation requests funded by Stripe USD credits from $25 ($1.00 starter credit); no allocation is guaranteed. It also publishes dated indicative reference marks across 140+ private companies. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

Risk notes
Rumor risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.
Illiquidity risk: any private-market interest, indicative marks, or pre-IPO share arrangements in a company that has not listed can be difficult to exit and may not reflect a tradable price.
Timing risk: a company can pause, restart, or abandon IPO preparation at any stage, including after a confidential or public filing, so no step before pricing guarantees a listing.

Yes. Start from $25 ($1.00 starter credit available) in USD portfolio credits via Stripe with no password required, or select a listing across 140+ private companies on Segmara to submit a pre-IPO share allocation request.
Why was this market historically hard for individual investors to reach?

Has Playlist confirmed an IPO date?
No. As of September 27, 2026, no S-1 or F-1 has been filed. At the ATN Innovation Summit, CEO Fritz Lanman said a public listing is "most likely," as reported by Athletech News on June 18, 2026, but that is a stated intention, not a scheduled date.
Can I buy Playlist shares before the IPO?
Not through a public exchange. Playlist is a private company, and Segmara does not sell, broker, or arrange purchases of Playlist, ClassPass, or Mindbody shares.
Why did Playlist add a Palantir executive to its board?
Athletech News reported on June 18, 2026 that Playlist named Palantir CFO David Glazer to its board roughly two months after closing its $7.5 billion EGYM merger; the report tied the timing to that deal and to the CEO's comments on a future IPO.
How does the EGYM merger connect to ClassPass and Mindbody?
TechCrunch reported on March 31, 2026 that Playlist, the rebranded parent of ClassPass and Mindbody, closed a $7.5 billion merger with EGYM that included $785 million in new equity funding led by Affinity Partners with Vista Equity Partners, Temasek and L Catterton, marking a pivot from Mindbody-ClassPass's 2024 IPO exploration.
