The Bar Method Oakland - Lakeshore

• First time students may not enter a class late. Arriving 10 minutes early is highly recommended.
• Returning students may enter up to, but not after, 10 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 (or 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.

• Pregnant clients must provide the front desk with a note from their doctor allowing them to take strengthening and stretching classes.
• It is strongly encouraged that all pregnant clients take at least one pre-natal class before taking a standard class. We also recommend that pregnant clients avoid Level 2 and Bar Move classes.
• Pregnant students can opt to take the first half of the class (which focuses on the arms and legs) for half price.

• No clients are admitted before they reach 13 years of age.
• Clients under 18 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.
• If you have a cold or anything else that may be contagious we ask that you do not attend class.

• Mothers who bring children under age 9 must ensure they are in the childcare room during class. Children are not allowed to play or climb on the stall bars and other exercise equipment.
• You can make reservations for childcare either by phone, or in person, up to 1 day in advance. When reserving by phone, please indicate your name, the time of the class you plan to attend, along with the name and age of your child.
• Childcare costs $8 per child ($6 if you are a Club Bar Member) and is available Monday through Friday.  See our schedule for more information on which classes it’s available.

• We love your furry friends, but we do not have any outdoor space for them to play, so they are not allowed in the studio.

Free parking is available in the Trader Joe’s parking lot behind the studio.  Street parking (for an additional charge) is also available.

Club Bar Unlimited members are allowed to freeze their memberships free of charge, twice per year for up to 45 days.  Additional freezes are allowed at a $25 charge each.

Class package sessions must be used within 6 months of purchase.

• All sales on Bar Method classes are final.
• Retail items may be returned within 24 hours of purchase, unworn, with tags still on.
