I came to Austin with my fiancé for a business convention and LOVE Core-power. When I lived in California I had a membership for 2 years. Sadly I live in Miami now and the yoga scene is poor. I saw your Austin location and had the BEST experience. Amalia was my C2 instructor and was amazing through and through. She helped me check in so easy, was helpful, and remembered my name in class and helped with poses. I felt like i was back to my old healthy ways. Thank you Amalea! Today I am I'm in Dallas and hope for the same welcoming attitude : ) read more

I tried the "week free" pass, and it was pretty amazing. The studio is really nice. The nicest I've ever come across. The women working there were all really nice and gracious. There was no snobbish yoga cult vibe that I've received from some other local studios. I attended the yoga sculpt class, and the C2 class, which were both more rigorous and advanced than what I'm used to. They were both a great workout though, and I felt really cleansed afterward from all the sweating. The shower and locker room is really great, and you'll need it. Tips: I recommend bringing 2 towels and a washrag. One towel for on top of your mat to absorb the sweat, a washrag to wipe the excess sweat off during class, and another towel for showering afterward. The parking is really convenient, and no trouble at all. You just go straight up the drive toward the Monarch building, and the parking is in a garage on the left. read more

So I've been going to CorePower Yoga in Austin for about a month now and I still love it! They've also opened a Triangle location (which does have more parking), but I seem to go to the Monarch location more. The schedule for the C2 class just matches up more often. The teachers seem to teach at both locations too. All the teachers are pretty good, but my favorites so far have been Kourtni & Joel. It's definitely just a personal preference since everyone's practice is different. But, if you're like me, I like more stretching and balance and less bouncing around/aerobic/barre-like practice. I go to Dane's Body Shop for strength and my general work out, so I like going to Core Power to realign, relax, and get revived! The locker room at this location also seems a little big larger than the Triangle location. read more

Several years ago I had an unlimited membership and religiously went 4ish times a week and loved all the classes and instructors. Karli is amazing and does the best hands on assists, Leann and Mercer are also amazing teachers. I live only a couple of blocks away so this studio was also really convenient for me. The reason for the 4 stars is just an overall issue with customer service (as a company not at this specific location) and a strange issue with a teacher. I always got to the studio 15 minutes early so as soon as the room was clean I could put my mat down right next to the door (I overheat easily and liked having the air come in from under the door to cool me) I always left a few inches between my mat and the door though to allow other students a small path to walk in so It wasnt too in the way. I usually take the same classes at the same days/times and a specific teacher would always take the same class which was an hour before she taught her own class. My issue was that if I left the room she would come in and move my mat over and put her mat in its place or even if I was there in the room on my mat she would OVERLAP her mat onto mine forcing me to move over and even then there was barely any room. Once the practice would start she would literally swing her limbs over in my area taking up the full space when the space wasnt available. It got to the point where I was really stressed out each class waiting for her to kick me out of my spot and then spent the whole class thinking about how annoyed I was as the situation and wondering if I should have said something instead of being able to be in the moment. This is truly what caused me to eventually cancel my membership. Lastly I think the practice of not having phone lines for each location is not customer friendly at all and corporate needs to revisit this practice. I had left my workout clothes after a shower and wanted to call and ask if they could set them aside for me so they didnt accidentally get taken by anyone and obviously there was no way for me to get ahold of anyone. I also tried contacting them via chat and their corporate number today (during the business hours they should be open per their voicemail I got) and nothing. read more

I was invited to CPY by a friend, for one of the free classes. I was skeptical at first but now I've been going every other day for three weeks and I love it. I'd tried yoga before but couldn't get in to it. I have pretty good-sized anxiety problems and CPY is turning into a safe haven for me. I look forward to every second I'm there. All of the teachers have different styles, but their foremost goal seems to be making sure the students are comfortable and understand the instructions. This is especially helpful as a beginner to yoga. I really enjoy every class here. read more

I love CPY so much that I decided to put aside some of my hard earned money to put into their unlimited membership. :) The instructors at this specific CPY are great! I mostly do the Sculpt classes & I really like Joel and Irael. They have great music and thanks to their class structure, that one hour goes by so, so fast! Parking can be a pain after work during the week. There are slots in the parking garage, but I always opt to pay for street parking. Make sure you allot time to park and walk to the studio. Such a great studio -- you will definitely leave soaking wet in sweat! read more

Convenient location with variety of classes. The reason I gave this place a 3 star is because of lack of cleanses and basic Yoga studio culture and etiquette. Music is loud, they allow people to walk into the actual studio with shoes on. When I brought this up to their attention, their response was "yeah, some people walk in to set up their mat." In other cases I have seen people bring in their cellphones and cellphones have gone off during practice. Management needs to communicate these things to new clients.. read more

Loving CorePower Yoga during my free week. Yes, it's corporate but the teachers themselves are not. I took Terri's 6pm C2 (Level 2 flow) and loved her energy, sweet voice and direction. If you're a beginner, make sure to call and find a class that works for you. Practiced yogis - you'll realize most of their classes have go-to sequences and asanas so you can expect each class so it's consistent! Overall - Love it. Clean. Corporate, yes. But the teachers are well trained. Only thing - CPY as a whole could use a little more traditional yoga poses and avoid trying to make it "new" or "hip" and an authentic OM in class! @lorenlotus read more

Absolutely love CorePower! I go in stressed out and tense and I leave feeling amazing and inspired! Great place!

MiI have been practicing for years and all over the place, and while I've only been to CPY a handful of times, I had a wonderful class with Leilani this last Saturday. It was a level 1 power class, yet flowing with her and accepting the challenge to take poses just that much deeper had me pushing things. I also really liked cadence and tone of her voice - made it easy. Finally, the space/floors are beautiful - an all around great experience, thanks CPY!!! read more

Good workout but not for me. Instructors are inexperienced in comparison to other studios I've gone to.

I've been going here on and off for 5+ years. I've received many requests for feedback from CorePower and my feedback didn't used to be so rosy. But I feel like the company as a whole and this studio in particular has worked hard to make me a happy customer and they deserve a review that reflects that. The classes are structured such that you know what you're getting. That's how CorePower does things. What it's good for: If you're an experienced yogi, you can rely on always getting a good workout if you do the C2, C3, HPF or Sculpt classes. HPF is their take on a shorter, more sanitary beginner Bikram class. Almost all classes are heated which is good for becoming more bendy and helping get my heart rate up. The more I go, the stronger and more flexible I become. They always include core work in every class. There is a good variety of people there - male/female, different age ranges, body types and ability levels. They offer classes all day long. This helps make the monthly membership a good buy IMO. You can always make the yoga harder by doing your own pose variations. Most of the classes are 60 minutes so you can get in and out quickly. They have showers, you can rent towels and mats, they have filtered water fountains, and some parking for students. Get there early (30 mins) and not at peak times if you want to get in on the parking. They also take class pass if you can't afford the monthly membership. The weekend workshops are great and help you feel tighter with the CorePower community. Workshops are included in the monthly membership! The floor is especially soft - great for biffing it while experimenting with new inversions! What it's less good for: They offer 75 minute classes, but most are 60 minutes. You may not get schooled on the 8 limbs of yoga or get a 10 minute sivasana in a 60 minute class. You can stay after class if you really want to get that long sivasana in, but it's not ideal. Workshops are longer and a different story. If you're set on keeping any part of your body/hair/yoga mat dry, look elsewhere. CorePower is sweaty, but they keep the studio and equipment as clean as possible. If you love the benefits of Bikram but aren't a huge fan of staph infections, come here instead. If you're freaked out by other people's sweat, consider bringing your own equipment, not going to classes during peak times, and showering after class. (They provide soap and such.) If you don't have time to get to class early, you may feel frustrated by this place. You need to leave yourself time to find parking. They will lock the door sometimes a minute or so before class. During peak times, that "lucky" parking spot has already been snagged. Just make believe that class starts 15 minutes earlier than it really does and you won't find yourself on the wrong side of that locked door. Other stuff: CorePower Monarch focuses on being welcoming. The teachers share a little personal tidbit after each class and ask you to come chat with them after class if you'd like. They offer loaner locks for your locker (having your stuff stolen never feels welcoming, so they have that). When I had issues with my CorePower experience the business asked for my feedback, listened, and reached out to apologize and correct the problem. How cool is that? That I think is pretty unusual. And, it turns out, my experience there has been awesome so I'm really glad I gave them a chance. read more

I started at corepower with the "free week" and was hooked. I was received a gift card for Christmas because I couldn't stop raving about how great the studio was! I like this studio because the staff is extremely friendly, I have not had one unpleasant experience in the 4+ months I have been there. The classes- I like that they are structured but the only way I would improve them is by adding a bit more variety in postures. Some teachers definitely have their own style but the majority stick with the "corepower routine". They are very sweaty classes so come prepared! They are vigilant in cleaning the studios and bathrooms. I definitely recommend giving yourself enough time to find parking and a spot in the studio. During peak times it can get very packed as this is a popular location right downtown. It's awesome that your membership goes to all the chains because if I miss a class I can find another one shortly after at the other locations like the Triangle. read more

I have been doing yoga here for six years. I also got my 200 hour certification to teach here. I started in Denver, then I moved to Utah and now Austin. All three cities had Corepower and I loved them all. I have my favorite teachers in each location and I still visit the studios in Denver and Utah to do yoga anytime I am in town. The Monarch and Triangle are the two studios I practice in on a daily basis. Yoga is my life and I couldn't live without it. The studio is very clean and it's great because it offers a free week so you can decide if the studio is for you. More yoga studios should offer free classes for new students! Try this place out, I am confident you will love it. read more

This is a great yoga studio. First, it is very modern and very clean. I have found other studios really are not clean and while this kind of fits with the earthy, granola image of yoga, it's just better when the studio is very clean. Second, the teachers here are great. They are very knowledgeable and on point and are very supportive and encouraging. Finally, locations are great. And they are adding another in Domain. All in all, this is the best stood. read more

I luv luv luv Yoga Sculpt! I didn't know there isn't any Core Power Yoga studios in Houston so I had my cousin move to Austin with me!!!! She's a swimmer and I can't wait to show her what Yoga Sculpt can do for her... our mind and body are going to be fabulous!! read more

I'm adding an update and review on their Teacher Training Program- for those of you who have thought about it, but weren't sure if it was the right spot for you. While I cannot speak to exactly how other programs in Austin work, this is what I will tell you that *they* did incredibly well:: 1. Timeliness: Each session is structured with learning as well as discussion time- and the leaders are on-point when it comes to starting and ending on time. This is a huge deal, considering just how MUCH time you spend in these sessions. Aside from this, they time their classes around the working hours- so I could still keep my 8-5 and attend teaching sessions. Win Win! 2. Price: I looked around at several studios and found that CorePower required fewer hours in sessions, and was even significantly lower in price than several studios- and they also managed to work with me on payments, which helped me with my budget. 3. Community Classes: As a part of their Extensions Program, each week you get to practice-teach free classes that are open to the community! This was paramount to my training- and allowed me to see what it felt like to be a REAL teacher. 4. Clear Communication: I learned how to TEACH - aside from just breaking down poses, and anatomy and philosophy, I learned how to lead others with clear, concise words. This is a CorePower staple- all of their teachers are smart with their words- something that I'm so glad was instilled into my own foundation as a teacher. 5. Family: The teachers in this studio truly care about your growth and your journey. They are there 100% of the time for support- emotional and physical. I found each of them to be willing and open to answer any questions I had- meet for coffee, or a quick chat after a class- and so excited for my process through teacher training. If you've been looking for a solid studio to finally get that teacher training you've *always* had it in your mind to do-- go through CorePower- you will be SO glad that you did. read more

I went to hot yoga in the Domain. Jessica is so friendly to check us in and take time to explain how the classes work. I went to two hot yoga classes but Jessica's class was my favorite. I liked her music of choice and the pace & easy instructions to follow. read more

One of my favorite yoga places in Austin! A little more expensive than other studios in Austin, but you get what you pay for. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable. The candlelight hot yoga is my favorite class! read more

First of all, thank you for the new 6:30am sculpt class- life changing! I really just wanted to reach out and say that Addy is amazing. Throughout class I kept thinking 'she must have come to Monarch to teach from the Triangle'/I thought she had been teaching for years. Come to find out by the end of class that this was her FIRST class! It really makes a difference when teachers are very genuine in their words and she was so inspiring the whole time! I just signed up for Yelp just to be able to write this. I do love every class but she deserves a little shout out :) read more

I recently went to a C1 (beginner class) with Mary as my instructor. I usually lift weights and do some crossfit style workouts but I have to say I was really happy I went to corepower that day. Mary was amazing! She seems like she caters her guidance very well to the class in general and I felt very comfortable but challenged at the same time. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I would be lying if I said I didn't fall in love with Core Power yoga. I sweat more than I do doing cardio or a hard workout. Simply the best place to detox, stretch out, and clear your mind. Can't wait to come back for my free week! read more

I really like it here! The schedule is fantastic. Many classes throughout the day to choose from. However, the instructors vary greatly. Some are truly outstanding (Chelsey Ko), others are not good at all. Granted, the not so good instructors are probably very new and will surely improve. I think a lot of this has to do with CP's constant push to turn students into instructors. One other thing to note is that the classes have a specific formula. So level 2, for example, has a format that they follow each time. If you're from a city like LA or NYC, you may find this really uninspired. I don't mind the routine, but some people might. If you're a real yogi type this place is probably not for you. If you're looking for a yoga workout, this place is probably a great fit. read more

I took a C1 class with Anna and loved it! I've been doing yoga off and on for about two years now and it was great to take this refresher course that fined-tuned poses I've been slacking in. The music was great without being too loud and my jaw dropped at the locker room! It's very clean and has at least four showers for those yogis-on-the-go! They've also got a good collection of clothes and accessories, but expect Lululemon-like prices. Definitely looking forward to more classes here! read more

Amazing instructors! I love the big open room up front.

Beautiful space, gracious teacher, and awesome class! I am familiar with CorePower from my time in St. Paul, MN and they have a great reputation there. So when I found myself in Austin on business, I knew I had to try a class here. I took the 75 minute C2 class with Denise and learned a lot. A new yoga teacher myself, I found her cues intuitive and her sequencing creative. And such great energy! I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a yoga studio. read more

I always take Core Power classes in LA and love them! On a recent trip to Austin I decided to take a hot fusion class and it was great! The instructor was excellent; she was very friendly and attentive. I really like the location of the studio and the staff is very friendly! read more

Attended a Vinyasa 2 class here this morning. I enjoyed it overall, but wasn't a huge fan of the 'skill work' that was incorporated into the practice. Vinyasa classes are meant to flow, and I felt that these breaks disrupted that. Skill work is for outside of the studio. Other than that, the workout was challenging but doable, and I enjoyed the instructor's upbeat personality and teaching style, and I will probably be returning. Also, if you have to drive here be warned that the parking situation isn't good. If you don't get lucky enough to get one of the few core power spots in the garage, be prepared to fight for metered street parking, even in the early hours of the morning. (Can't even imagine in the afternoon.) read more

I love the passion and encouragement of the instructors! The studio is great and I didn't feel judged for how well or not well I executed in my practice. read more

One of the best workouts in the city! Core power 2 is amazing I crave it all the time. It's the perfect detox and relaxation during the week. And yoga sculpt is actually so challenging but you feel great after.... overall I love this place and the instructors! read more

I've visited Core Power in MInneapolis, Chicago and the week they opened in Austin. This is corporate yoga. Perfect for the Lulu Lemon Crowd. Overpriced and snobby. All about the looks. Not any meditation content or anything like it. Yes they have some good teachers and the studios are the most beautiful in the US, but some of the staff are real jerks. I have two mats and leave one in my trunk for when I'm washing the other one, so I took the old one to one of the classes and one of the staff said to me when I was leaving : OMG your mat is exploiting... yes my mat was old so what? I think overall there are very nice local yoga studios in Austin so you can avoid this kind of places that do not teach yoga but fitness classes. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR FIRST TIMERS! read more

Yoga sculpt is one of my all time favorite workouts and, believe me, I have tried everything. Yoga is not even my go to practice but I just love getting a highly challenging, full body workout that also has great flow! awesome music too. read more

My college athlete daughter signed up for a free week and loved it so much that she insisted I sign up for a free week. My only other experience with yoga was very, shall we say, Zen. Relaxing and meditative, but no sweat. Very doubtful, I signed up and my first class (CP1level) totally kicked my a**! Needless to say, I was hooked. Now, I am a "woman of a certain age", shall we say, and most of the other patrons are young hard bodies, but the atmosphere is never intimidating at all. It's sort of fascinating, actually,to sneak peeks in the mirror and see how another person can be totally strong and flexible in certain parts of their bodies and yet can't nail a crow pose to save their lives. (Instructor Erin got me into crow pose about 4 weeks in. YES!) I have recently noticed a few more baby boomers in class, so hopefully word is getting out that this is a welcoming place for all kinds of yogis. They adhere to very high standards of cleanliness in the studios and locker room. Complimentary toiletries if you need to freshen up after class, and the whole place seems a bit like a spa. read more

Great studio, sweet staff and as always, challenging and fun classes. This studio also has showers, but parking is hard - bike or walk if you can. read more

Best workout. Take the sculpt class, you cannot find a better workout than this. Great community and great teachers

They processed 3 memberships for me, not one-- and didn't "catch" the "error" even after 4 months at HQ. I cancelled my membership-- unethical company doing shady business, triple charging a customer. Check your auto-billing, everyone! read more

I am pretty new to yoga, but I am hooked now! I have been to the Triangle location for two level 1 classes. Amazing facilty -- spotless and new. Terrific instructors. I'll be back! read more

Brendan and Raine are my favorite instructors. Love the workout I get here, the studio space is great, and the heat is excellent for detoxing. read more

The staff were so friendly and when I walked into the studio it had such a positive vibe! It is definitely a place I want to come back to!

Some people go to church, other people go to therapy. I go to Corepower. Yes, it's a chain and it's somewhat corporate but I love their classes and instructors. I was hooked after my first class, obsessed at the end of my free week, and still in love after six months of having a membership. read more
