The Bar Method Richmond

• While walk-ins are welcome, class sizes are limited and can be sold out. We highly recommend reserving classes online or through The Bar Method app in order to guarantee your spot in class.
• 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. If a spot opens up in class, you will receive either an email or text notification.
• 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 do not arrive prior to the start of class, your reservation will be given away to anyone on the waitlist.
• If you are on the waitlist for an early morning class, please call the studio before class or sign up for text message notifications to be sure of whether or not you made it into the class.

• If you cannot attend class, cancel your class online, on The Bar Method app, or call the studio to avoid being charged for a no-show. Early morning classes (5:00, 6:00, and 6:30 AM) require cancellation 9 pm the night before to avoid a penalty. All classes that begin after 7 AM require cancellation 2 hour 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 account will be charged $10 for Late Cancel and $15 for a No Show. Same policy applies to Cubs Club. A $5 Late Cancel/NO Show fee is also applicable to our Cubs Club.
