Chicago - Gold Coast

•  We highly recommend reserving classes online or The Bar Method app in order to guarantee your spot in class. Class sizes are limited and may fill up so the only way to secure your spot in class is to book in advance. You can hold a spot up to 30 minutes prior in the app or you can call the studio.
• Classes fill up, 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 either an email or text notification.  If you move into the class off the waitlist, you are in the class and all late cancel/no show policies apply.  If you can no longer attend the class, remove yourself from the waitlist or cancel more than 60 minutes in advance.  If you are already registered for a class, you will not move off the waitlist into another class.
• When you arrive at the studio, please check-in at the front desk. Reservations will be honored only up to the start of class.

• If you cannot attend class, cancel your class online, on The Bar Method app, or call the studio at least 60 minutes before the class to avoid being charged a late cancel/no-show fee.
• If you are using a class package, a no-show or cancellation after the above cutoff window results in a loss of that class. If you are using a membership package, you will be charged $10 for a late cancel and $20 for a no show.

• First time students may not enter a class late. Arriving 15 minutes early is highly recommended.
• Returning students may enter up to, but not after, 5 minutes into class.
• Upon entering class, lift your knees 40 times to warm up before joining in.

• Please wear exercise pants that cover the knees (men can wear compression/bike shorts under above-knee shorts), a top that cover the midriff, and socks that cover the entire foot.
• Students may bring their own socks from home, or purchase Bar Method socks with sticky grips at the studio.

• Please do not bring glass or uncapped drinks into the exercise studios. Capped water bottles are allowed. Only water is allowed in the studio to protect the carpet and equipment.
• Please do not bring cell phones into the exercise studio. Lockers are provided with keys and we ask that you leave your phone in a locker along with the rest of your belongings. If you have an important call you’re waiting for our desk staff can come get you from class if you leave your phone with them.
• Chewing gum is not allowed in the studio.
• We provide towels without charge.
• Disruptive students may be asked to leave. Please be courtesy and respectful of fellow students and your instructor and the staff.

• Pregnant clients must provide the front desk with a note from their doctor allowing them to take strengthening and stretching classes.

• No clients are admitted before they reach 13 years of age.
• Clients aged 13 – 17 must be accompanied by an adult.

• Please notify front desk staff and instructors of any illness or injury that may impact your ability to exercise. In some cases, a doctor’s note may be required to allow you to take class.
• Please discuss any injuries or physical limitations with your instructor before class and they may give you modifications for certain exercises.

We offer 4 hours of parking for $6 in the Public Parking garage (enter on the north side of Chestnut). Take a parking ticket when you arrive and purchase your parking inside the studio. We will give you a voucher to use when you exit.
