Question 1

How do I sign up for a class?

Accepted Answer

You will need to set up an account on our website or download the Local B Studio app in your app store, to pre-register for classes. We highly recommend pre-registering for all classes, as they may be filled when you
arrive. It is important to us that we are able to accommodate all clients, so this pre-registration will help both you and the instructor prepare.
 
Downloading the Local B Studio app on your phone gives you the easiest and most efficient access to the Local B class of your choice.
 
If you are a first timer and you need some assistance getting set up, call the studio and we will hold your spot and help you get set up with the online registration process. You will need to show up at least 10 minutes before class in order to get registered, as well as sign our waivers.

Question 2

What is Barre?

Accepted Answer

Barre is a low impact workout that incorporates elements of pilates, yoga, ballet, and weight training.  Our brand of barre is more of a fitness class than it is based on dance.  We concentrate on tiny movements over all muscle groups to fatigue the muscles and build endurance.  These classes are great for any level of fitness.  We have three different types of barre classes, so please make sure to read each of their descriptions to know what suits you best.

Question 3

Do I need to come early?

Accepted Answer

If you are new, please come 10 minutes before class begins to make sure you are registered. We will show you around the studio and get to know you a little before class starts!
 
Please let us know any injuries you have or have had in the past, so that
we know how to make the appropriate modifications during your workout.

Question 4

What do I do if I am running late?

Accepted Answer

Starting class late can be disruptive both for your own workout and for others around you. Our instructors design each class to build from the very beginning, and those opening minutes are key for warming up safely and setting the tone.

To help keep classes running smoothly:
	•	Please plan to arrive at least 5–10 minutes early to check in and settle.
	•	If you anticipate being late, we kindly ask that you reschedule for another time where you can show up for the start.  
The door will be locked at the scheduled start time of class and you will not be permitted in.  If you are not in class for the start- a no show fee will be applied for missing class.  
We truly appreciate your cooperation in keeping our studio a welcoming, focused space for everyone. Thank you for respecting your fellow members and your instructors.

Question 5

What if I need to leave early?

Accepted Answer

We understand there are things out our control and sometimes, you need to leave a minute or two early.  However, we respectfully ask that if you know you are unable to stay for the entirety of the class, please consider going to another class where you are able to stay the full time.  If there is a rare occasion where you  need to leave one minute early- let the instructor know at the beginning of class, choose a mat near the back corner to eliminate distractions, leave equipment where it is, and exit quietly.  Stretch is equally as important as the workout and without it, it can cause injuries.  We always want to make sure the end of class is distraction free and enjoyable for all patrons.

Question 6

Do I need to pre-register?

Accepted Answer

Yes, We have a waitlist policy. If you come to the studio and have not registered, there may be others that were on the waitlist and will be given priority to openings.  If it is your first class, we will try to accommodate you to the best of our ability.

Question 7

How long ahead of class can I register?

Accepted Answer

You can register up to four weeks in advance or up until 15 minutes before a class. If it is after the 15 minute mark, you can call the studio to see if there are openings available and we can register you for class.

Question 8

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Please cancel class in the app or online if you can no longer make your scheduled time. We have a two hour cancellation policy. If you do not cancel before the two hour cancellation window, you will be charged a late cancellation fee of $12 if you have an unlimited membership. 
If you cancel early (outside of the two hour window) it will not affect your classes or membership.  If you call or email the studio within the two hours to cancel, it will still be considered a late cancellation.  If you do not show up to your scheduled class, you will be charged a no-show fee of $17.  You will need to have a credit card attached to your account, if you do not, the fee will be added to your account. Once you have a balance, your account will be frozen and you will need to pay it off, before you can book another class.  All future reservations will be canceled, unless it is paid off that day.

INCLEMENT WEATHER cancellation policy- We want everyone to be safe. If you wake up in the morning and class is still on the schedule, but you don’t feel safe traveling- cancel class free of charge. “Late cancellations” will be waived. However, no-show fees will still occur if you do not cancel on the app or call/text.

Follow us on our Instagram account (@localbstudio) for weather updates.  However we tend to stay open more often, as most of our staff can walk to class.

Accepted Answer

Yes! As long as you have been taking barre classes pre-pregnancy, it is safe to continue! Our trainers have all been trained in making pregnancy modifications for our students.

As always, please speak with your healthcare provider before taking a workout class of any kind.

Question 14

Is there a waitlist?

Accepted Answer

We have a waitlist if class is already fully registered. Always sign up for the waitlist, as there tends to be a lot of cancellations.  Please sign up for notifications on the app,  and you will be notified if you have gotten into the class. Continue to check up until 40 minutes before class, to see if you have made it in.  Make sure your phone number if on file, so that we can contact you if a spot opens up within the 40 minute mark.  If you are on the waitlist and get into class, we expect that you are coming and will have the same cancellation policy.  If you know you cannot make it ahead of time, please remove yourself from the waitlist so that you do not get charged a fee.
