The Bar Method Portland - Pearl District

• A reservation is highly reccommended in advance. Class sizes are limited and can be sold out. Reserve classes online or use The Bar Method app to guarantee your spot in class. Reservations are studio specific and can be made up to 7 days in advance.
• Classes fill up quickly, but spaces will open up as clients reschedule. If you’d like to attend a class that is full, please put yourself on the waitlist. As soon as a spot opens up in class, you will receive an email notification.
• Being bumped off the waitlist into class means you are in the class and therefore responsible for cancelling your spot if your plans changed.
• If you get into class from the waitlist with more than 60 minutes prior to class start and do not show up or cancel your reservation, you will be charged.
• If you are moved off the waitlist less than 60 minutes before the start of class you will not be charged.
• If you get into class from the waitlist and are already scheduled for another class in the same day, you will need to cancel your reservation for your other class within the cancellation window; if you do not cancel, you will be charged for class.

• If you cannot attend class, cancel your class online or on The Bar Method app to avoid being charged for a no-show. Early morning classes (before 7am) and Sunday evening classes require cancellation 10 hours in advance to avoid a penalty. All other classes require cancellation 2 hours in advance.
• If you are using a limited class package, a no-show or cancellation after the above cutoff window results in a loss of that class. If you are using an unlimited package, your card on file will be charged $19 for a late cancellation or $22 for a no show; no exceptions.
• Switching Classes: If you would like to switch to a different time within 2 hours of your reservation, you may do so without incurring a fee under the following condition:
  • Weekday Classes: If you would like to move to another class that same day and the class you are leaving is not full, you can switch with no penalty providing that you call and speak with someone at the studio prior to the start of class.
  • Weekend Classes: Please note any class switching within the cancellation window is subject to a fee.
