Online Reservations:  Win-Win!

Online reservations are the best way to positively secure your spot in class and childcare

and they are the best way for us to know how many are coming in for class

so we can arrange an Overflow class if necessary. 

Online reservations can be made up to 5 days in advance and may be cancelled up to one hour before. 

You may also put your name on the Wait List if class is full.

We will do our best to provide an Overflow class if we see any names on the Wait List. 

You will be notified by email at least one hour before class time if you made it into class from the Wait List.

Please follow the directions below if you have not yet set up a username and password...

be careful not to set up a duplicate account as it will not be associated with your current package.

 

Overflow Classes

Schedules change for the summer months making it much more difficult for us to predict attendance.

We will do our best to provide OVERFLOW classes during our busy times,

but that means we must know that you're coming...

reservations are necessary during these unpredictable busy times!

Online reservations are preferred - they may be made up to 5 days in advance. 

Phone reservations may be made up to 24 hours in advance,

however we only guarantee phone reservations made before 8:00 AM.

We will provide an additional teacher for OVERFLOW if total reservations excede our maximum by 8:00 AM.

Clients may register for the regularly scheduled mixed-level class or for the Overflow Level-2 Advanced class.

If there is no need for overflow, all clients will take the mixed-level class

and the teacher may be either teacher scheduled for that time.

Thank you!

 

 

New Students

Please arrive 10 minutes early to get oriented prior to taking your first class.

The $100 New Client Special is available for purchase on-line and at the Bar Method Marin studio.

This package is for exclusive use at the Bar Method Marin location.

You may also purchase a single class for $24 and make your class reservation on-line, and pay the balance of $76 after you take your first class if you choose to continue with the New Client Special

(your package will activate the day of your first class).


Socks are required.  New clients who do not arrive early may not be allowed in class.

Reservations Policy

Online reservations may be made up to 5 days in advance and up to one hour before the class begins.  Please

remember to cancel your name from class at least one hour before if you cannot attend.  You will be charged for any classes reserved but not attended (clients with unlimited packages will lose one day for each no-show).  In order to reserve online, a positive account is required.   Please initial next to your name on the sign-in list when you arrive so we know you are present.  Online reservations will be cut off 60 minutes prior to class time.

Setting up your username and password if you are already an existing client: 

In order to preserve your visit and purchase history, please be sure to link to your existing account.  Follow these steps to avoid creating a "new" (duplicate) account:

1) Click the "Register Online" link above to get started 

2) Select "New Users: Sign Up!"

3) Enter your first and last name under "Is this your first time?"

4) Select your name next to "This is me!"

5) Enter your username and password

 

Reserve in person or by phone: You may also request a reservation in person or by calling the studio at 461-4461 up to 24 hours ahead.  Reservations must be made by 8:00 AM for the morning classes and by 4:00 PM for the evening classes.  When calling, please include your name, name(s) of children, class time, class level if there are multiple choices, and a phone number you can be reached at in case we need to reach you before class.  Your name will be added to the sign-in list and your spot guaranteed, unless you receive a call back from us letting you know that we are already full.  Please initial next to your name when you arrive so we know you are present.  Individual reservations only, please have your friends reserve separately.

 

Cancellation Policy

You may cancel online up to 60 minutes before class or by 8:00 AM or 4:00 PM by phone for morning and evening classes, respectively.  You will be charged for no-shows and late cancels (clients with unlimited packages will lose 1 day for each no-show or late cancel).  No exceptions.

 

Wait List Policy

Classes may fill up, but spaces open up regularly due to peoples' unpredictable schedules.  If the class you wish to attend is full you may now add yourself to the Wait List.   As soon as a spot opens up in class, the first person on the Wait List will be automatically bumped into class and an email notification will be sent out.

If you enter your name on the Wait List, it is your responsibility to check your status within 1 hour of class (once the cancellation window is closed).  In the rare event you have the opportunity to be bumped within 1 hour of class (due to a late cancellation), we will attempt to call you as well as send you an email notification. 

If you get into class from the Wait List and do not show up when class is scheduled to begin and have not cancelled your reservation one hour before class, your spot may be given away and you will be charged for class. If you get into class from the Wait List and are already scheduled for another class, you will need to cancel your reservation for your other class online or by calling us; if you do not cancel, you will be charged for class.
