CorePower Yoga - Park Road - Yoga Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I LOVE CorePower Yoga!!! I am so sad I moved and had to cancel my membership I am waitingggg for them to open a chain near me. The instructors are so nice!!! I have never done yoga in my life and was nervous because it's felt a little cliquey to me. But here they go out of their way to know your name and encourage you during class. The memberships are pricey for sure but I went everyday and it was a good deal for everyday! Also there the only yoga place I've found that does a free week to try it out. I am hoping I move back so I can continue it! Also the amenities are so nice! Everything was super well cleaned and they had hair ties, mouth wash, showers, and more so that I could freshen up. I would go during my lunch break and having that accessible made it possible and it's all included with one fee. read more

Room is kept dangerously hot during hot yoga class and another student had a medical event which the instructor did not appear to fully know how to respond to. Safety doesn't appear to be much of a concern. You are locked in during class and only instructor can unlock the door which is a fire hazard, but does allow them to run the studio with only one staff member there (the one teaching the class). With memberships at $175/month they could well afford to staff these studios. read more

Update: went 3 times in 3 days to take advantage of new student special (free week) and have been really impressed. Each instructor remembered my name and everyone has been super friendly. Great customer experience!! Went there for the first time on a Saturday mid morning for a C1 class. The front desk worker guided me through the sign up process and let me know that they have locks available for you to use for the locker room. You get a free water on your first visit and I think also towel and mat rental, but I had brought my own. The locker room has several showers in addition to lockers and restrooms. The yoga space was really nice with wood floors. Blocks, straps, mat wipes and hand weights easily accessible. Loved the upbeat music and flow of the class to include warm up, core work, flow, balance poses. The instructor, Ashley provided modifications and demonstrated poses for us and offered hands on assistance, which I really appreciated. At the end of class she offered to let you stay in the final resting pose for as long you would like, and also offered to answer questions. I spoke with her about the class schedule. I wish they had a little more variety in the class offerings. C1 isn't offered very often and the time of some of the classes isn't ideal for my working full-time schedule, but I plan to be back! read more

I was so excited to finally try Corepower Yoga when they opened their first Charlotte location a few weeks ago. They did a great job promoting their opening around town and on social media and definitely got a good buzz going. I went to Catrina's (the studio manager) demo class when she taught one of Olde Mecklenburg Brewery's Tuesday Yoga on Tap classes in March and loved it. I made sure to sign up to be one of 50 people to get a two week unlimited class free trial when the studio opened. I challenged myself to attend 13 yoga classes in 13 days and I did it! I don't mess around when it comes to free trials. This studio has four class types and I recommend trying them in this order: CorePower Yoga 1 - beginner class that goes through 12 yoga poses and is amazing if you're new to yoga, need a refresher, and/or need a good stretch Hot Power Fusion - a heated restorative class that incorporates many standing and balancing poses, so you're not on your wrists much CorePower Yoga 2 - their heated signature class where the instructor uses their own style and is different every time Yoga Sculpt - a heated class that starts with CPY 2 followed by strength training with many repetitions and a cardio component that I didn't expect, so ladies, make sure you wear the appropriate sports bra The Good: -all of the instructors seem to genuinely love yoga and are supportive and encouraging. My favorite classes were with Catrina, Luis, Tiffany Sn, Meher, Keisha and Katharina. -they have several class times each day, which is great if you don't work normal hours and have options besides going to class super early or late with the masses -studio is clean and there are lockers where they give you your own little lock for your stuff -inviting atmosphere, everyone is nice and there's generally an approachable, "yoga is for everybody" vibe about the studio. It's definitely not like the uppity barre studio I went to where the woman next to me literally hit the barre with her pearls! Yes, you'll see plenty of lululemon, but you won't walk in and feel like you don't belong because you're wearing leggings from Target. -great location with plenty of parking The Opportunities: -the studio is much smaller than I expected. They claim the room can fit up to 60 people, which is true, but it will be TIGHT. If you don't like doing yoga close to other participants, I highly recommend avoiding the crowded class times if your schedule allows you to do so. -the instructors don't offer adjustments as much as I'd like during classes and it would be great if there was an assistant in the room in addition to the instructor. I did avoid the popular class times after the packed opening night class I attended, so I don't know if those classes have assistants. I'd also like to think the instructor didn't adjust me because I'm such a good yogi, but that's doubtful. ;) -I wish they offered cold lavender hand towels during savasana at the end of class. I go to another yoga studio that has those and I LIVE for that during the hot classes. This might be something the brand decides and the individual studio has no control over, but I did daydream about having that towel during class! I highly recommend doing the free one week trial the studio offers since you have nothing to lose. I would have continued the monthly unlimited class membership, but I can't justify it with the other class passes I have. I definitely want to come back to this studio in the future though! read more

It was my first time here and it was such a nice space. Super easy to check in and I was able to get situated without any issues. I love the vibe of the studio and it wasn't too hot either. I came for their C2 class with Raudhah who was phenomenal. Her energy is something you just can't teach and was so welcoming of all of us no matter where we were in our journey. I haven't practiced in a while but this brought back the fire to restart myself again. Sometimes, all you need is to see the light again so come try them out. Your first week is free and they have all kinds of classes if yoga isn't your thing either. read more

Having been to 3 other CorePower Yoga locations in 3 different states now, I'm glad they have arrived in Charlotte! You'll find it a little tricky at first to get to the location if you are used to going to Flying Biscuit. When you fail to old habits and drive directly to Flying Biscuit, easiest way to recover is to drive behind Micheal's!!! I typically went to the YogaSculpt classes for a serving of humble pie, but enjoy others. Katrina was the instructor for my first class in this location. Katrina is great (also a California transplant)! Take advantage of your free week, enjoy the amenities (full showers and toiletries), grab an orange and have an awesome class! Namaste read more

The studio is beautiful and the teachers are great. Marie, Sabrina, and Victoria are my favorites. I'm hoping this is the first of many CorePowers in Charlotte, as the drive from Matthews is long, but it's still worth it. I do wish that the schedule had more variety per timeslot. 7:30 am is my favorite class to attend, but it's Hot Power Fusion every day; it would be great if the time slot had at least one other type of class rotating through (i.e. Sculpt on Tues/Thurs) so that you have more options if only one timeslot works for your schedule. That would really improve the experience and make me come more often. read more

This studio is right across the street from where I live so I purchased a two week trial to check it out. I do hot yoga at another studio at least 3x a week and usually know what to expect. I was very disappointed with this studio. I took four different classes and was equally disappointed with each one. One of the instructors was very unwelcoming and seemed to be in a "mood" through out the class. Another teacher, I liked even though she was pretty quirky-even encouraging me (out loud in front of the class) to adjust my "extra" tummy rolls so that I could go deeper into the pose. I am very thick skinned and laughed but I know most women would have been humiliated by this. This company is corporate so they use their own verbiage for common poses, which made it a little more confusing for me. In general I just didn't like the class styles/flow style. One class I took was supposed to be a level one which didn't seem any different from the level two class that I had taken the day before. I also just felt like the flows were very boring and repetitive. Teachers are not offering hands on assists at this time and masks are still required-yet there are no "parking spaces" so it's hard to know where to pick your spot if you are wanting to be 6' apart. The level of heat/intensity was kind of all over the place and inconsistent. They did have a really good sale on their yoga mats and I was able to purchase a new Lulu mat for only $45. Their website isn't easy to use for scheduling. I only attended day time classes at this location so I'm not sure if the evening classes are fuller but each class I took only had about 1-4 other yogis in it. There is no ice machine or cold towels at the end of the class which is a real bummer for such an expensive membership. Here's what really got me-I got emails from them constantly so I was waiting to get notified that my auto enrollment was about to kick in and that I would be charged for a full priced monthly membership. I knew from when I signed up that I would be auto enrolled in an unlimited package but I wasn't sure when that would begin and expected to be notified. They never sent me an email reminding me that my card was to be charged (fine) but then after they charged my card they did not send me a receipt! I received a receipt in my email when I purchased my mat using my attached card, but wasn't notified of the $150 auto draft. This really miffed me and I ended up having to wait on hold for customer service for almost an hour to get a refund! The woman I spoke with was rude and clearly dealt with these refund calls all the time. The location of this studio is also in a busy area so there is a lot of noise, outside the windows with delivery trucks and through traffic. read more

Have been to this studio a handful of times over the past year. Signed up for the 4:30pm class yesterday, got stuck in traffic and got there at 4:33pm, and they had locked the door and wouldn't let me into the class.. the class was a third full, but they argued it would ruin the other clients experience. Not the most zen experience. I realize this is Madabolics policy but dont expect this from a yoga studio unless the class is full or you're 10- 20 mins late. Have never seen this policy publicized or enforced until yesterday. Lost a customer read more

Definitely my fav yoga studio in Charlotte! Small classes and great teachers. They also have a mirror for the classes and a clean locker room with nice showers. read more

Was very excited to experience cpy and it has been great! Killer workout and there's a level for everyone. Great facilities (although I wish the studio itself was some larger) and very nice locker rooms with toiletries. Love it! read more
