Portland - Pearl District

• 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 30 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 either an email or text 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 2-hour 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 (6:00/6:30 AM) require cancellation 10 hours in advance to avoid a penalty. All other classes require cancellation 2 hours in advance.
• 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, your card on file will be charged $15.
• 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 2 hours prior to class is subject to a fee.

• First time students may not enter a class late. Arriving 15 minutes early is highly recommended.
• Returning students may enter up to 10 minutes into a Mixed or Level 2 class. For Bar Express or Bar Move classes, returning students may enter no later than 5 minutes into class.
• Please note that your spot may be taken by another standby client if you are not at the studio when class begins.
• 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 grippy socks 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 exercise studio.
• 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 are on call or have a pager you need for emergencies, you may leave it at the front desk and we will come get you out of class.
• Please do not chew gum in the exercise studio.
