• While walk-ins are welcome, class sizes are limited and can be sold out. We highly recommend reserving classes online or The Bar Method app in order to guarantee your spot in class. Reservations are studio specific and can be made up to 14 days in advance.
• All clients are allowed to take one class per day and sign up for one class per day. If you sign up for more than one class on a given day, you will be removed from the second class without notice.
• You can sign up for class up to 15 minutes before it starts.

• Our instructors are highly trained to ensure you are in the safest, most effective form during class to change your body. Please be receptive to the instructor’s use of your name, active coaching, and hands-on adjustments throughout the entire class. It will help to keep you mentally focused and your muscles engaged.
