Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

Our classes are held in Winchmore Hill at Winchmore Hill, N21 (near the green).

What should I wear to class?

Wear leggings that you are comfortable in and a sports bra with vest top or t-shirt so that the instructor can see your alignment and posture throughout the class.

Grippy socks are required to improve stability and balance and also for hygiene purposes. Our Grips for Dips are available to purchase online for collection in class or direct from your instructor.

What should I bring?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ll have all the equipment you’ll need, should you choose to use it. Just bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated and a sweat towel, which you can also use for added support for your knees when required.

What time should I arrive before class?

Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time of your class.

This will also allow sufficient time to allocate all participants a mat and equipment, ensuring a prompt start to your class.

Can I take a Barre class while pregnant?

If you have been taking 4 The Love of Barre classes regularly or any other physical activity prior to becoming pregnant, 4 The Love of Barre can continue to be a safe and effective exercise option while pregnant. Barre is one of the best and safest ways to exercise pre and post pregnancy and has many benefits.

Everyone’s pregnancy is different, so it is a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure they are comfortable with you continuing to take classes.

Please ensure you let us know that you are pregnant, so that we can walk you through any modifications you may need through different stages of pregnancy.

As with any exercise programme, if at any point during your workout you begin to feel faint, dizzy, or have physical discomfort, you should stop immediately and consult your doctor.

Is there an age limit to attend classes?

You must be over 16 years of age to attend a 4 The Love of Barre class.

Do I have to pre book?

Yes, we need you to pre book your session via our website and complete our medical form to secure your place on the mat and allow us to prepare all necessary equipment you may require during your class.

What if the class I wish to attend is fully booked?

All classes once fully booked will have a waiting list for you to register your interest. You will then be given priority if any cancellations are made and we will contact you directly.

It’s important to register your interest even when classes are fully booked, as this allows us to assess if extra classes should be added to our timetable to fulfil demand for our clients.

What’s the cancellation policy?

We operate a 24 hour notice cancellation policy to retain sessions. No more than 2 cancellations per block booking.

If you cancel within 24 hours before your class, you can retain your session and rebook to make up that class within the duration of your package in addition to your committed classes. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, the class is forfeited. Catch up classes are subject to availability.

If any holidays fall within your package bookings, please inform 4TLB as early as possible to pause your package, giving us at least 1 week notice. To pause, clients must contact info@4theloveofbarre.com to process this pause.

We ask that you arrive 10 minutes prior to your class start time to be allocated your mat and equipment.

Once classes start we cannot allow late access. Clients who do not arrive promptly for class will be denied access to the class and the class will be forfeited.

Is barre suitable for postnatal?

You can return to barre after your 6 to 8 week check if you have been deemed fit to return to exercise by your doctor or midwife.

If recovering from a c-section, your doctor may advise a longer recovery time before returning to exercise.

We are happy to support your recovery with any modifications required on your 4TheLoveofBarre journey.

Is there parking at the venue?

Complimentary parking is available outside and around the venue in Winchmore Hill.

There are parking restrictions Monday to Friday around the Winchmore Hill area between 10:30am and 11:30am. If your class falls during this time, please park up, pop inside and your instructor will be more than happy to provide you with a parking permit.

Outside of the venue, there is a gravelled parking area. If there is a space, please do try and park there as this is for us to use. Please ensure your car is fully parked on the gravel and not cutting over the pathway and double yellow lines.
