The Bar Method North Potomac

• We recommend making a reservation online to guarantee a spot in class. Reservations may be made two weeks 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 add your name to the waitlist. When other clients cancel, you will be notified via email if you are put into the class. If you have opted-out of our email list, you will not receive these emails. You are responsible for your reservation if you are put into the class from the waitlist. If you do not cancel your class and do not attend, our standard cancellation policy will apply.
• You could be added to the class up to two hours minutes prior to class. If you no longer want to be put in the class, please cancel your waitlist spot so that someone else can take the spot. We have clients that can get to the studio with very short notice. If this is not the case for you, please carefully manage your waitlisted reservations.
• Note: You can be in one class and on the waitlist for another- however, you are responsible for managing your reservations and following the policy of cancelling 12 hours before class starts. You will not be able to register/waitlist for two overlapping classes at the same time.
• To view your waitlisted reservations, check your waitlist status, or cancel a waitlisted spot – go to your Bar Method account and click on MY INFO and then MY SCHEDULE. If you have any waitlisted reservations, there will be a link to the WAITLIST in the top right hand corner of your schedule. If the link is not there, you are not on any waitlists.
• Classes that appear in MY SCHEDULE are reserved classes. This will include classes where you got in off of the waitlist. If the class says “Waitlist-Unconfirmed”, you are IN the class. You may also call the studio to check your status.
• You may take only one in-studio class per day.
• If your membership is frozen, you will not be able to register for class. Please email [email protected] to unfreeze.

• Our cancellation policy is 2 hours before class. If you cancel within that window, you will be charged a late cancel fee of $20.
• If you are a no show to a reserved class, you will be charged a $25 no show fee.
• If you use a class package or single class, you must cancel prior to 2 hours before the start of class or you will lose one class if you late cancel/no show.
• You may cancel online via Mindbody. We do not accept email cancellations.

• First time students may not enter a class late. Arriving 10 minutes early is highly recommended.
• Doors will be locked at the start time of class, and therefore no late entry into the building can be permitted.
