Your spot goes first.
Your favorite tread, the floor spot you always take: in popular classes they're gone before you open the app. You book anyway and end up somewhere else.
For Barry's regulars
You booked the class but got stuck in a spot you don't want. Text us the spot you want. We check your class every few minutes and move you when it opens up. If it never does, you keep the spot you already have.

Why this exists
Your favorite tread, the floor spot you always take: in popular classes they're gone before you open the app. You book anyway and end up somewhere else.
People cancel and switch spots all day, often late at night or early in the morning. Your spot might free up at 11:48 PM, when you're not checking.
Barrys.app checks your class every few minutes until check-in closes. When the spot you want opens, it moves your reservation there and texts you.
How it works
Reserve the class in the Barry's app, even if you only get a spot you don't want. Barrys.app works on classes you've already booked.
Name one spot, a range, a type, or a ranked list. Plain English works. So do voice notes.
If it's open now, you're moved right away. If not, we keep checking. If nothing opens before check-in closes, we tell you, and you keep the spot you have.
Tell it what you want
Use the spot names from the Barry's app: T for treads, F for floor, DF for double-floor spots. Be as specific or as flexible as you like.
Only that spot will do. We wait for it.
Any double-floor spot works. When several are open, you get the lowest number.
Any spot in that stretch works, whichever opens first.
Each check, you get the highest-ranked spot on your list that's open.
Is it safe?
We only change the spot on the reservation you already have. We never cancel it to try for a better one.
You sign in on Barry's own login page. We get a sign-in token, not your password.
Watching ends when you're moved or when check-in closes. Either way, you get a text.
Text status to see what we're watching, or say "stop watching tomorrow's class."
It does more
Swapping spots is the main job, but you can ask about anything else on your account too.
Your next classes, with times and spots, in one text.

FAQ
No. You book the class yourself in the Barry's app. Barrys.app then moves the reservation you already have into a better spot.
No. It only works if someone gives up the spot you want before check-in closes, and someone else can still take it between our checks. For popular classes, the earlier you ask, the more chances you get.
If your spot never opens, nothing changes. You keep the spot you booked and we text you when we stop watching.
Every few minutes, from when you ask until you're moved or check-in closes. If your spot is already open when you ask, you're moved right away.
No. Each check, it moves you to the highest-ranked spot on your list that's open, then stops watching that class. Only list spots you'd be happy to end up in. If you already have one of them, it doesn't do anything.
Nothing but your phone number. You sign in on Barry's own page, and Barrys.app gets a sign-in token for your account, like any app you connect with "Sign in with…". We never see or store your password. If that token expires, we'll text you to reply login again.
Text status to see what's being watched, then say "stop watching tomorrow's class," or text cancel followed by the class ID. For progress texts, text reminder off.
No. Barrys.app is an independent, fan-made tool built by a Barry's regular. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Barry's.
