Special offer from The Bar Method – Carlsbad

by Nicole Connerley

As many of you will remember I LOVED the Bar Method in Carlsbad and I was very sad that my 10 days for $10 special came to an end. This is why I am beyond excited to share this special offer for 1-month of unlimited classes for only $59! The normal price for 1-month unlimited at The Bar Method is $200, so this is major savings for your wallet! This special is not through a daily deal site it is directly through The Bar Method and may be purchased from now until Labor Day 9/2/13. (Hurry go now before you forget!) You may activate the special at any time after you purchase it, which is another perk to this deal. I was just told my doctor I can’t do any bar classes until I finish 4-6 weeks of physical therapy for my ankle, which is unfortunate but at least I know I have a month of the Bar Method when I’m done.

If you would like to purchase this special go directly to The Bar Method Carlsbad’s website here and you will see it straight away. Tell them SoCal Savvy Mom sent you! Feel the shake!
