I went to this CorePower which wasn't my normal location. My instructor, Liv, was fantastic!!! She was super motivational, inspirational, and sensational. She gave clear instructions and her spirit lit up the room. Highly recommend taking her class. read more

Save yourself the headache of this location and go to Bucktown. All of the corepower locations are essentially the same when it comes to the classes (one of the benefits of their company). The Lakeview location appears to have a big parking lot full of free parking. But the parking lot is subject to the mood of the troll that works as the parking lot attendant. If the troll is in a good mood, he will let you park for your hour class for free. If the troll is in a bad mood, he will tell you to try your luck with street parking, even if the lot has plenty of empty spots... he's just the worst and can ruin your Yogi mood. read more

CorePower Yoga - Lakeview - The trolls toll - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I got a "$20 for a month of All-Access membership" special last year, and I am hooked! There are so many class times to choose from and the instructors are typically great at balancing pushing you to try new things, while making sure you understand the basics. I started going during the pandemic, and classes have not been crowded. However, I thought attendee C2 classes, rather than Yoga Sculpt or Hot Power Fusion. read more

I've been a loyal CorePower member for about 5 years now and, while I love the class format and variety, this studio is seriously making me consider dropping my membership :( I moved to the Lakeview area recently after living elsewhere in the city and prior to that suburbs. With that and a lot of travel, I've experienced quite a few CorePower studios. The instructors, vibe, poor management, and crowding at this studio makes it my least favorite. Class times and studio cleanliness are fine, but too many pieces are so poorly managed here that I actually feel more anxious and irritated when in the studio than before I arrive.....and yoga studios are supposed to be relaxing places! There are never enough lockers and the manager has just given me shrugs when I've mentioned they they need more doors - hello, people come before and after work and I don't want my wallet, laptop, or phone left unattended. Adding wooded doors to empty cubbies (and fixing broken ones!) is a VERY easy solution. Not rocket science. This studio also has more than its fair share of newbie instructors in my opinion. I really miss my old location that had more veteran calming/challenging (C2/HPF) and energizing (sculpt) instructors. It's been far too long since I've had a really great C2 class. New flash to CorePower: not everyone makes a good yoga instructor so please stop pushing your teacher training so much... In terms of vibe, there are often people talking loudly in the main area and in the yoga rooms themselves which really kills the zen mindset you're trying to cultivate while there. I'm all for friend yoga dates, but please be mindful of others :( Please do better CorePower, I'm really disappointed in you lately. read more

This CorePower location has great yoga classes, two studio spaces, and one of the largest locker rooms I've ever seen! When my gym shut down for two weeks for renovations, it didn't take me long to decide on CorePower for the in-between. I'd done the free week previously and loved it. But the unlimited Black Tag membership is even better! With it, I've taken a mix of classes -- everything from Hot Power Fusion (super chill and majorly sweaty) to Yoga Sculpt (yoga + cardio). And I really love the late-night class options that make it possible to come home, THEN workout. The 9pm hot yoga has quickly become one of my favorite ways to end the day. My only complaint? I wish there'd been some kind of explanation when I joined. My free week had been at a different location, and there's a bit of a learning curve both with the flow of classes and the studio itself. But nonetheless, I really really like this place, and the vibe it's been bringing into my life lately has made me a happier human being. read more

I love coming here! The studios are beautiful, and the locker room is fully stocked. However there is no towel service, they are $1 per towel and when you are already paying soo much for a membership it seems wrong. **DO NOT RENT A MAT** they smell like feet! I have always borrowed mats at other gyms and have never had this problem. I almost threw up from the smell! I have tried every class and C2 and sculpt are my favs. All of the teachers are so nice and offer modifications to most poses if you need a challenge or if it is too hard. My favorite teachers are Samantha G, Lindsay W, and Charlotte. Be careful if you go to class after 6 it can be overcrowded and stressful trying to get a spot. They need to limit the class sizes! Also, I like to switch it up and go to the Roscoe Village studio to take Carla's sculpt class. She plays the best music, and her class is great!!! The Roscoe location is much larger. Corepower offers a free week, they have groupons every once in a while, and they offer a student discount too! read more

As an adventurous yogi, I'm always down to try new yoga spots and this one has become my new go-to. A very comforting vibe here. I love Corepower because each teacher has a totally different style and personality that they incorporate into each class that they instruct. The staff is so sweet and they always have great music (which is a must for motivational yoga), not to mention they're almost always changing up their routines. 5 stars! PS- The area is also really nice, as there are plenty of places to eat and shop in Lakeview. Super hip read more

I do like CorePower for their variety of classes and the fact that not every class is the same. I used a Groupon for a discounted month, and I come back sometimes on ClassPass, but I just can't commit. I don't like that the schedule is the same every day. So, if I want to workout at 6pm every day, my only class option is C2. I would love to see some variation, like C2 at 6pm on Monday and Sculpt at 6pm Tuesday and then HPF on Wednesday, etc. Additionally, I don't like that there aren't a reserved number of spaces in the class. You can show up ready to go only to told the class is full. Or, you can get these early enough to get a prime spot in class, only to be bumped over when they stuff so many people in the room that there's only two inches of space between mats. This is easily the best place in Chicago for hot yoga, but definitely not worth the money if you want any kind of variety in your workouts! read more

My first CorePower Yoga Studio, so take this review with a grain of salt. **WARNING** The following review may be NSFW, including me going topless. And stripasana. And twirlasana. Don't say you weren't warned. But I'm also a yoga teacher, with my own yoga practice spanning to the mid-2000s, so add a few more grains of salt to this review. I was in a bit of a funk this past summer, and I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and try out the free week of yoga at CorePower. This is huge. Let me tell you why. In some translations, the word "yoga" means "union", but the unfortunate reality is that yoga can be as snobby as any high school in North America, which the various styles of yoga can be compared to lunchtime with the different cliques sitting at their tables, secretly judging the other tables, the very antithesis of "All-is-One" so prevalent in yoga. And the style I come from, CorePower is viewed as the Walmart's of yoga, taking over every corner of the yoga world until every mom and pop yoga studio is gone. A bit dramatic, no? But then again, I worked for one of those mom-and-pop yoga studios. But I was still curious about CPY. My first class was the Fusion class, which is the hottest one, with this militant teacher with a heavy Eastern European accent and all the lights turned off (it was listed as "candlelight" with no candles in sight) and stuffed to the gills with bodies. Warm, sweaty bodies. So sweaty that not only was my mat a pool of sweat, I had to watch out for my neighbor's errant sweat making its way to my mat. I had to leave the room halfway through the class b/c it was so hot, and I'm the girl who loves summer so much that I don't put in my AC until well after the 4th of July most years. Even this past summer of 2012 which is supposedly the summer to end all hot summers. I went back into the class, thought about what bra I was wearing under my shirt and figured it was a respectable sports bra that no one would give a second thought about and whipped off my shirt. I literally thought I was going to die in the class. But after the class? I felt AMAZING. Sweating can do that to a girl. I still attend classes occasionally, because, hey, I enjoy it. A few thoughts about CPY, in no particular order: * It's cookie cutter yoga for the most part, but there are a few teachers that still follow the format but allow their personalities to shine. I especially liked Diana O, Danny and Michelle. * You won't find om'ing here for the most part, just some weird exhale to seal the intention. Which is sad b/c that's my favorite part of yoga class. Danny and Diana do "om" in their classes. Which may be part of the reason why I like them. They're not afraid to make noises! *Savasanas are short. Ridiculously short. I highly doubt that they're even 5 minutes long if even at that, and sometimes the teacher will leave the room, allowing you to take one as long as you like, which for most people is 20 seconds. For how intensely they push you during the class, I need a longer decompressing in Savasana. *There's the occasional odd language from the teachers. At one class I was told by the teacher to spread my legs like a stripper. Needless to say, I never returned back to her class, even though she'll live in infamy in my memory under "$h*t Yoga Teacher Say." *It does get hot. The Fusion classes are typically hotter than the flow classes, but I've never been terribly sore after a class. I think that the heat tricks you into thinking you're working harder than you really are. You're walking out drenched in sweat, thinking "man, I really kicked a$$ today! I can have that second serving of double fudge brownie banana split", but face it, you'd sweat just as much if you went to a sauna, not moving and you wouldn't lose many calories either. *Only took one sculpt class. The teacher told us at the beginning of the class all namaste-like to honor our own bodies and not to push ourselves beyond our limit, and then she proceeded to yell at us in military boot camp style for the following hour to "gooooooGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO", which is a bit confusing to me. Do I honor my body's limits or do I keep going so she won't scream in my ear and end up tearing my ACL again? And we were twirling on our yoga mats for a good 5 minutes. TWIRLING. Where is twirlasana in the "Light of Yoga" Handbook? I can't even. *Bring your own mat, a towel to mop up your sweat and a water bottle. They do have mats, it's free with your first class, $2 thereafter, but they smell like feet. Feet that haven't been washed in 10 years, even though I see workers cleaning the mats in the hallways, all laid about so you can't walk by. And yet, the mat still smelled like stinky feet. All said, I did enjoy CPY. As long as I take some of the stuff with a grain of salt humor. read more

Went there last night for first time. A little disappointed. -Class was super crowded (couldn't stretchy my arms and legs without being careful not to hit anyone) -All lockers were full -On the way out, I asked someone at the front desk where the new Uptown location is going to be. Her response, "If you go to our website, click locations and it will show the address." No, it's not listed on the website (that's why I was asking!). Besides, even if it was on the website, I'm in the studio asking a question and they refer me to a website for the answer. I told her it wasn't on the website and she said she didn't know (find out!) -Rude staff (not including instructor) What I liked: - Instructor was very nice and helpful, but not worth everything mentioned above. read more

This is not a place to go relax and center yourself. This is a place to sweat and let off some steam--literally! It's hot-ish yoga, but it's definitely not as hot as Bikram, which is a treat after I made the mistake of going to Bikram super hungover and am now scarred for life from ever doing it again. Anyways, everyone can get a free week here from their website. I did it, and I am completely in love with the place. The facility itself is brand new, and it makes me feel like I'm in a spa or rehabesque setting. Love that! The showers are nicer than my apartment or any hotel I have ever stayed in, and the studios are the perfect size. They're clean and so new, you can still smell the linoleum on the floor. The teachers here are there to challenge you and push you past anything you thought you could do. I tried the Core Sculpt Yoga with weights, and my body has never been the same since. I am no longer innocent. I have seen pain and felt muscles I've never felt before. We did everything from basic yoga moves to jumping jacks and basketball 50/50s. These classes are more like a Cardio/Ab class, instead of a yoga class. Go here for a good work out, but don't go here, if you're working on your inner chakras. This is a butt bending, ab busting work out that is sure to earn you a cupcake or three afterward. read more

Pretty consistent with other reviews, i tried both the newly opened Lincoln and their Lakeview location. During both experiences, the person behind the desk -which also turned out to be the instructor, never offered any kind of information. Where are the locker rooms? What studio is the class being held at? She just asked for my name and went back to her computer. If it wasn't for the Groupon i would be very unhappy with spending my hard earned money at a corporate style yoga studio with ridiculous monthly fees. Overall its a good workout, but don't expect the yoga mentality. It's just a hot studio with some yoga poses. That's about it. read more

So far, I've only been to HPF (hot power fusion) and Yoga Sculpt, but I've been to both more than once (I wanna say I've gone to 5 or 6 classes) - and both are great. There was one sculpt class where there were legit 45 people in the studio - it proves that this is a popular class, but it was a little hard to be so on top of each other. Still, the muscles that you work in this class...well at least for me, they're muscles I don't think I use in many other things in my daily routine, so I appreciate that. By the end of HPF, I'm drenched, but again, I feel like sweating out the toxins, and also... being away from my phone for an hour+ is sort of liberating. Staff is pretty great. They do a solid job explaining what the poses are, which is helpful, cause my Sanskrit is a little rusty. I got the groupon, and with a group buying refund, it was $55 - for a month unlimited. I think I'm currently at $11 a class, which is less than the going rate. Pretty sure I'm going to buy another month once my groupon is up. It's really great being pushed by someone else and doing different types of exercises. The parking is under the train tracks. I'll admit that's a little weird, but I'm glad they have parking! read more

It seems silly to review a Core Power Yoga studio when they're everywhere and they're all pretty much the same, but here goes anyway. Let's start with the classes. The best part about CPY is the CP1 Beginner class. A lot of power and vinyasa places ignore the beginner, and as a former dancer, I can be a stickler for form. I will forever be thankful that CPY gave me that! If you're new to hot yoga, definitely try out CP1. The heat is turned down and they demo more and help you become familiar with the language. I do love all the classes at CPY, although they can be a bit cookie cutter and routine after a while. Hot Power Fusion is my favorite for when my body is just totally aching (in my old age), and CP2 is great for when I want to get a bit more of a cardio workout. I have two complaints about CPY. First, this location, in particular, has a floor cleaning problem. Yes, they mop up the sweat, but it amazes me how much "crud" and just junk is on the studio floors. I mean, everyone is barefoot in the place...how can pebbles and clumps of who-knows-what be all over the floor? It drives me crazy. Ca-razy. My second complaint is the price. Although it's comparable to other studios of its caliber, yoga prices have just gotten out of control. $150 for a month?! Eesh..some of us are just teachers here! Overall, CPY is a great place to do yoga where you're going to feel the burn...and the heat! Major bonus points for the padded floors and clean locker rooms. read more

Unfortunately, this is probably my least favorite of the Corepower studios. The locker room is ALWAYS full. It's often impossible to get a locker that has a lock. And like many others, I'm not thrilled with the idea of leaving my wallet/stuff unattended. Many of the lockers with locks are broken (the locks are ripped out, the doors are hanging off hinges...), which is also kind of disappointing. The classes can get very crowded here as well, but that doesn't bother me nearly as much as the lockers. Generally good teachers though. And the locker room has always been stocked with the goodies that Corepower has at every location. read more

Favorite CorePower Yoga location in Chicago! CorePower yoga is awesome. That's a given. And with 5+ locations in Chicago, some are going to inevitably be better than others. The CorePower Yoga Lakeview is hands down my favorite location! -Free Valet Parking -Yoga Studios with drenched sunlight -Large Locker Rooms -Citrus smell (as opposed to the "sweaty" smell :-) If you like yoga and you live around Lincoln Park/Lakeview, this is your place! read more

I've been to a lot of yoga places and I really like this location. It's clean and the instructors are always on point. Sometimes it gets a little crowded in the evening but for the most part my experience is positive here. read more

Is it dramatic of me to say that CorePower has changed my life? Too bad! I have never been good at sticking to a healthy workout plan or even a healthy diet. The community and environment at CPY has really changed my habits because everyone is supportive and encouraging. I have become not only a regular (3-4 times a week) Yogi, but have also become more mindful about my decisions outside of the studio as they directly impact my practice. I am drinking my 8 glasses of water per day because I know I'll need it for hot yoga, and am eating clean foods majority of the time because it gives me peak energy for practice. I joined Yoga For Trade at this location (working there one night a week to get free, unlimited classes) and feel even more a part of this amazing community. read more

3.5 stars. Compared to other yoga studios, 4 stars. Compared to other CorePower Yoga studios, 3 stars. Had I not been to the Bucktown location (which frankly, is fantastic) I probably would rate this location 4 stars. The clean, well-decorated facilities aren't the problem here. The yoga sessions I've attended here have just been OK and very inconsistent. I went to a 1.5 class and it was super easy, and then when I upgraded to the 2.0 class, it was so difficult I could barely get through it, and I had no idea what I was doing. Some of the instructors here just walk around the room and tell you what to do, instead of showing you. It also seems like a lot of the night classes get canceled. This is annoying when you've paid for a membership and the last class they offer is at 6. I've had it happen at least twice when I hauled butt to get here and then was turned off by severe overcrowding....not relaxing at all. On the plus side, the location is great (right between Wellington and Diversey stops on the L brown line) ... However, um, it's also RIGHT underneath the train tracks. The rumbling (especially in Studio 1) can be disconcerting. I will continue coming here because it's convenient for me, and it's really not a bad place. Like I said, I'd probably like it a lot more if I hadn't been to the Bucktown facility. read more

I like this place a lot. As others have remarked, the locker rooms are spa like. Most instructors kick butt. I've had a few strange experiences but they are far outside the norm, and will always be the case with a business such as this. The experience you have is different depending on your body, your mindset, the class time, the other students, and the style. Go a few times before making a judgment. And if it's your first time to hot yoga: it gets better. Somehow your body figures out how not to be miserable. The classes to vary a lot in heat depending on the instructor or even the weather outside. read more

What stresses me out about this studio is the way people hover at the studio door for pm classes and as soon as one class starts to trickle out, everyone starts to scramble to get in, claim a spot and get situated. I know that it's a necessary tactic since the classes tend to be pretty full but I don't want to have to arrive 20 minutes early to stake out a spot in the waiting area to stake out a spot in the yoga studio! However, the quality of instruction was great. I will either go to earlier classes to avoid the Filene's Basement wedding dress reenactment or go to another studio. read more

I adored this place and was going about 5 times a week until they did the Groupon and I then had to arrive 20 minutes before class to reserve a spot. Classes became so crowded which is not easy to relax and breathe in with such challenging yoga. I would have remained a member here until.... I became pregnant and my doctor said I could no longer attend hot yoga. I am still in the process of trying to get refunded for the classes I purchased and have left about 6 messages at this point. When someone does answer the phone, they say they will email me but cannot refund my money since I already used some of the package I purchased. I understand this but would just like to be refunded somewhat or even given a credit for merchandise, anything. So, all in all, I enjoyed my time here. But if you are looking for the small, intimate yoga studio feel, this is not the place for you. It is more like a gym, where locker space is sparse and individual contact is not there forte. read more

Just finished up my free week here and I can't wait to come back. I tried out a bunch of classes (mostly CP2 and hot power fusion) and never had a bad experience. All the instructors have their own style and no two classes are alike. I am by no means experienced at yoga, but never felt like the classes went too fast or had poses I was unable to do. For each of the flows, we first went through them slowly and together as a class before trying them on our own. The instructors also made sure to explain how to do the more challenging poses or opt to stretch on your own while other students tried it out. Very welcoming and relaxed environment. Classes are definitely great for beginners and the more advanced yogis. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

This was the studio that sold me hot yoga. I wasn't too keen about being sweaty in a room hot enough to pass out, but after trying a few times here, I was a convert. First, the studio is brand new, very meticulously maintained, and really really nice. Beautiful locker rooms, clean floors, and nicely stocked with everything you can think of (hair dryer, bobby pins, etc). The classes has a nice variety of different options including sculpt, restorative, and vinayasa all offered in different days. Finally, the instructors are awesome. Super friendly, very professional, well-trained, and very welcoming. If there was any downside to this studio, maybe the price is a tad expensive, but I think it's only slightly more than the other studios in Lakeview, while being much more spacious, cleaner and nicer. Another plus is that they have multiple locations so if I were in a different part of the city that day I'll simply go to another location instead. read more

Another day, another Groupon. I'm starting to turn into one of those peopel. Fortunately, I've been practicing yoga for half a year now so I have a clue what I'm doing. I grabbed thr Groupon deal that I think was $90 unlimited for a month. I could be wrong. Apparently this is a brand new studio. It's pretty spiffy. I tried Bikram yoga a few months ago and found it to be extremely challenging. It's a completely different experience from your regular, non-heated yoga classes. I've taken pretty much all of the classes at CorePower including Hot Power Fusion - All Levels, Open Power 2, Yoga Sculpt, and Candlelight. Candlelight has quickly become my favorite of the classes. I've pretty much been forced to take it since it's at 8:15 which works out with my work schedule. I love it! All the teachers are a little different with their own quips. The only class I didn't like at all was the Yoga Sculpt. Apparently it's pretty popular. I didn't like it because it felt like that music video "Call On Me." It was all dance music and jumping around and shaking your hips and I was not feeling it. It didn't even feel like a yoga class. Maybe I'm just being pretentious but I wouldn't recommend that course. With all that said. A fun studio. It's typically very crowded in all the classes so GO EARLY. Free parking in Lakeview is sweet, too. I've been enjoying my time here. read more

I bought a groupon and was very impressed when I came to start using my free month of yoga. I first walked in to a pile of shoes, which I liked so all the dirt from shoes isn't all over the studio. Going beyond the shoes, the lobby (not sure what other word to describe this area) was quite large. There was a sitting area with couches to the left, to the right was the desk/reception and a shop area with yoga clothes and gear for purchase beyond which was the changing rooms. I went to check in and activate my groupon and the person at the desk (Mary, who also ended up being the instructor for my class) was very friendly and helpful. I checked in and went to the locker room. It was very spacious and clean. It had some nice touches, like hair ties in case someone forget theirs, q-tips for after a shower, deodorant, etc....just little touches that show they go above and beyond. I locked up my stuff and went to the studio for class. The studio was warm, but not hot. I grabbed a spot and put my mat down. I am glad I go there early because the studio ended up being packed (I assume because it was the last day for the groupon). I have taken yoga for a few years off and on so I am not a novice, but I am still very much a beginner. The class was a great level for me with opportunities to make positions harder or easier based on skill level. Mary was also great about demonstrating poses and walking around to do adjustments or assist. Her instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Also, want to note I walked because it was nice out, but it is located in between the Diversey and Wellington L stops and there is parking available. I am very glad I bought this groupon and am looking forward to the next month of yoga! read more

I was a regular at the Gold Coast studio and was super psyched when I found out there was a studio opening closer to my house!!! And I wasnt disappointed. This location has two well lit studios and larger locker rooms. The only thing I miss is the free lock option from the other studios. They do, however, still offer towel or mat rental for those that may forget or perhaps are there for a first visit. The lounge is lovely, warm and inviting. Ill be back. read more

SAMSON!!!! Just recently discovered his class and I'll never miss another one if I can help it! There are some instructors who have the basics down and take you through a reasonable routine and then there are the teachers like Samson who craft a unique, challenging and FUN sequence that keeps you coming back for more. Had his class yesterday and every muscle group in my body today is sore. But while I was going through the motions I felt fecking fantastic! Seriously though, great music, precise and calm instructions (none of that super annoying barking at you that "you can do it!") and all around good vibes. He's a natural, I hope he sees this post! For those who don't know core power, it's a kickass heated yoga practice that takes you deeper into each pose and further out of your mind. I'm hooked :) read more

It's a good work out, but it's missing the soul and warmth I've felt in other studios. I visited the Gold Coast location with a friend and got a very consistent experience, almost a carbon copy. It has a very corporate feel to me. This is not my expectation for yoga, I take mostly Anasuya classes and I enjoy when teachers bring their personality and blend it with the classes' energy to create a focused practice and unique experience. The 5 different teachers I took classes from all used the same or similar auditory cues, which can be a good or bad depending on your needs. If you are new to yoga, it can be quite helpful. I work out hard and run 5Ks - half marathons throughout the year, and my goals in yoga aren't to just challenge my body. I need a bit more than CPY seems to offer, both fine tuning in my alignment and guidance in intent/meditation. The savassanas were also pretty short, which was my biggest irritation, but I guess that's what you have to do to squeeze more classes in the day. The heat is great, and I like that there are different levels of heat/humidity to choose from. Sometimes it's crowded, sometimes not depending on day/time. Despite being less than a 5 minute walk from my house, I'll still bike 20 minutes to get to my favorite classes, or drop in with friends elsewhere. It's the Starbucks of yoga studios: consistent, accessible, convenient, easy to consume. (And no, I don't boycott Starbucks, it's just not my mecca.) read more

I absolutely love CorePower. I take HPF, C2, and Sculpt on a regular basis. However, every time I come to this studio for a class between 5-6 it's usually full (even if I arrive 15 mins early). This is got to be the most crowded CorePower in the city with very small locker rooms. In addition, the train is right next to this location, and the walls on the building aren't as good as some other CorePowers at blocking the noise. I've had some great classes here and some I didn't enjoy, but that's usually all teacher dependent. Im into classes with good music and instructors with a more relaxed tone (unless it's sculpt because they need that high energy tone to get you moving!). Overall, this review was published in hopes that they will just open up another studio in this area or move to a bigger space. The instructors are always courteous, just pick a different location if you don't like the stress of full classes and packed locker rooms. Uptown is a better choice. read more

My first time trying CorePower. Really solid good classes. Teachers are all high energy and good managers of time and people. I really liked the sculpt class but beware, you will be sore! I found the core power 2 classes in comparison to be rather tepid, just way less challenging. Kind of a big difference in terms of level. I only took the hour classes though. The Studio is clean and nice, good showers and spacious. I'll definitely be back for sculpt. read more

I can't say enough about corepower. Their staff members are more than friendly and professional. I recently decided to get back into yoga, and while I'm the epitome of inflexible and unbalanced, I was extremely happy to be there. They are great at pushing you outside of your comfort zone and helping you achieve fitness goals. I am excited to come back read more

Staff is super friendly and helpful. Great studio space and well located.

Initially, I gave this place a 5-star rating! Gotta knock 1 star off for the recent email I received from corepower announcing they would no longer have mat rental included for members. They simultaneously increased the membership rate, all while claiming it's about reducing waste and keeping things cleaner. I don't like price increases, and it's insulting with they come with a decrease in perks! I think if you're paying such an absurd amount for a monthly membership, it's not too much to include mats. I don't get it... you don't have as much equipment or staffing needs as gyms yet you cost so much more and are very stingy with your towels and mats. I understand rentals for non members but if you've committed to their 130 dollar monthly membership... COME ON! I've also gotta knock off another star for the uncomfortable busy-ness of this place. At first when I went there I guess the new location hadn't fully caught on so classes were full... but not bump into someone from every side of your mat during your practice full. I know their studios are spreading like wildfire and classes are extremely popular, especially after work... but it also doesn't help that they are constantly offering groupon deals. Yeah it's great for someone wanting to get a cheap month of yoga... but what about those of us paying 130 dollars a month for our membership? We have to deal with constantly crowded classes full of non members taking advantage of deals that are offered what seems like every few months plus all the people coming in for a free week. And then you get giggly groups of stupid young girls coming in groups all having to put their mats right next to each other and blah blah blahing before class when it's supposed to be quiet. You know these are the people who are just trying the free week and the groupon deals too. I am starting to recognize corepower much more for the chain gym mentality that is really there underneath it all. It's all about bringing more and more people in and money from discounted groupon deals to pack in the studio instead of keeping members happy. I canceled my membership to corepower last month. If it were still convenient for me to go to classes and there were any perks at all to being a member I'd probably still have my initial 5 star rating intact and still have my membership to this stdio! read more

This was the worst of all the Core Power studios I tried during my free week. When I arrived, the ladies at the front desk just continued carrying on their conversation & inside joking, while I awkwardly waited to be aknowledged at the front desk. My yoga mat smelled like feet & made me want to throw up the whole class. The room where the class was held seemed to be falling apart as the ceilings were covered with a tarp. I would definitely avoid coming here again. read more

I went here today and they were so incredibly snobbish. Snickering behind my back. It was a horrible experience. I don't think I would go to this location, especially if you're new to this and want to learn. No one will help you. THey'll just laugh at you. I think I'll take my experience elsewhere. read more

Just moved back from the east coast and our first class at CorePower Yoga was just what was needed. Also had a really hot Fusion class with Samson and it was just what I needed. There are (2) studios at this location and everything is quite clean. (EDIT) Main issue: After months at Core...I've found a major issue (for me anyway). Right after class is complete, while you're still sitting there calm and cooling down, about to get up, too often the instructor starts with a sales pitch for either teacher training or their additional fee based workout classes...this approach really is against everything that yoga is supposed to be. Sell somewhere else- not in class. As I don't feel this approach will change- we are leaving to join another studio...so the journey continues. read more

The only reason I am missing the fifth star here is because the monthly price for classes is RIDICULOUS. I understand that this kind of "workout" is a fad right now, but I don't think that gives them the right to charge almost 200 dollars a month. Had to get the bad part out first. I had tried yoga once or twice before, and when I moved to Chicago after graduating college, I was very stressed - bills to pay, no "professional" job yet so barely able to afford those bills, and lots of people getting on me about all of it. The structure and relief the classes brought me was amazing. I say was, because after my free week and month-long Groupon, I couldn't afford to keep going to the classes (luckily I have a job now so maybe I will be able to start again!). The place itself is so clean and organized, and the people are friendly but not overly-friendly. It all fits into the experience - relaxation, calmness, happiness, and peace. I get really stressed but have trouble expressing it, so exercising has always been a way to let off some steam. Getting to do that PLUS relaxation was a match made in heaven for me. I hope to get back soon - but come on, please lower your rates! read more
