My fave studio in the Chicago area! Roscoe CPY just has such a homey and welcoming feel. The upstairs studio has windows for some natural light. The downstairs studio for sculpt/strength classes gets HOT. The staff maintain a clean studio, especially during these winter months when there is a high volume of students. I really enjoy all of the teachers - each one offers up something different. Go try a class today! They have promos for new students. read more

I've been practicing at this location for years. Friendly community, class schedule fits my needs, clean studio and talented mix of instructors. Would recommend. read more

Clean studio, great instructors. I love the vibe, and everyone is super nice. One thing is the music does tend to get pretty loud at times and I'll look around to flow. But still, 10/10! read more

So many great classes and positive energy. Whether you just need to stretch or want a good sweat (yoga sculpt), they have great instructors to help you have the best experience. Heated classes are tough if you're not used to exercising in those temps read more

I love CorePower Yoga. I especially love Roscoe Village. It has become my happy place. The teachers are great. Everyone is friendly. The studios are always clean. The classes are top-notch. I try to go everyday - sometimes twice a day. read more

The studio: This corepower is beautiful! There are two studios which are very clean and have spray to clean your mat. There is a locker room that has showers and lotion/shampoo/conditioner and an area on the top floor to keep your shoes which is really nice in the winter when it's snowing and you don't treck your nasty boots all over! They also have a a water fountain for refills. Classes: You don't have to sign up for classes ahead of time and the morning and afternoon classes that I went to were never packed. It was refreshing to have room by me for once, usually I am worried I am going to hit someone! I took the C2 class two times which was heated and what I would consider to be intermediate yoga, and HPY (hot power fushion) three times which was a relaxing more restorative hot yoga. What you can purchase: They have waterbottles, towel rentals for $1 and a yoga mat rental for $2. First timers: They offer a week free if you've never gone before. If you decide to use it, you get a free mat rental on your first class. read more

One of the best studios I've ever been to!!! It is warm and inviting. There are 2 studios so there is an expanded class schedule! Overall a great yoga experience! read more

The space is absolutely gorgeous. The light fixtures, the fireplace, just the whole ambiance of the place really just gets me in the mood for yoga. They also have a great selection of yoga apparel, including Lululemon, and everything is very clean, including the spotless and well-stocked locker room. I live close by so when I saw the deal from Gilt City I felt like this was a sign to give CorePower a try, I've only ever done Bikram yoga so I started with their Beginners class (C1) to learn the movements that are different from Bikram. The C1 classroom isn't hot like Bikram but it is still pretty warm and I was sweating during the class-be sure to bring a towel and bottle of water. I really, really liked the class. The instructor was great, walking around and adjusting everyone as needed and the 5pm class was not crowded at all so you had room to move around. The class was also challenging. I will say that I am not, by any stretch of the imagination (no pun intended), a flexible individual so for those well versed in yoga and the poses it may not be quite as challenging. I have however gone to my fair share of Bikram classes and while this wasn't quite as intense I still was feeling it in my muscles the next day-but in a good way. I felt stretched, refreshed, and accomplished after the class and I have already gone back for more-and plan on continuing classes here after by 10-pack from Gilt City is used up. read more

CorePower Yoga - Roscoe Village - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The "Roscoe Village" location to me is more closer to West Lakeview neighborhood. It's conveniently located close to a Whole Foods where you can get some nosh after working up a sweat. Otherwise, it's a nice size studio with 2 floors where the locker rooms are located in the basement along with a second studio. Been to a few CorePower studios in Chicago and I must say that the feel and look of all the studios are really nice with modern designs and clean amenities. All the yoga studio classrooms have soft floors, which makes me question if I really need to bring a mat instead of a very absorbent beach towel - much easier to launder after a yoga session. Most of CP classes are done in very warm heated rooms, even if it's not labeled "hot" as part of the class. Dripping in sweat, unless you take the rare Restore class offered once a week, is inevitable. I had no idea I could perspire from my shins. It may be rough the first few times, but my skin feels fantastic from it - no joke! read more

Of the 3 CPY locations I have visited in the city (there are many, many more) this is my favorite! I love virtually all the teachers, they have a great retail section for both men and women, and the managers are very friendly and helpful (shout out Tony and Jennifer!). Try a free week here if you are new to yoga, and you'll love the C1 and C2 for an introduction to vinyasa flow. Or if you are looking to really sweat and get your heart rate up, a sculpt class can't be beat. Try to attend lots of different classes and instructors so you can figure out what you like. Finally, don't be afraid to talk to the instructors at the desk, even if you've never taken their class. I've had several times when I've asked a question about a pose or a series of poses, and everyone is always happy to help. read more

I don't usually right reviews, but I have to write one about the class I had. I went to Michelle Ha's 8am class and was utterly disappointed to say the least. First, she starts the class 3 minutes late and she ends the workout at 8:50am. I paid for 60 minutes of yoga sculpt. On top of this, she didn't go to the beat or time any of the exercises. If I'm paying for a class, I expect the teacher to at least prepare for it. I am disappointed and my mom and I will not be back. Every teacher who has taught at this time at Lakeview has been great, but now we are going somewhere else for yoga sculpt on Sunday morning. read more

I've had a Core Power membership for a while, and I really enjoy it. The classes are great and the studio is nice. They offer a wide variety of classes and have lots of schedule options. It's close to the L, but parking is also easy to find if you choose to drive. I love the hot classes! And thank you for adding the 6 p.m. sculpt class! There are two drawbacks which keep me from giving the Roscoe Village studio 5 stars: It's really expensive (that's not exclusive to Roscoe Village, just CorePower in general). I would love to go more, but I can't afford to. And they don't discourage talking in the studio. I love getting to class early so I can spend some time decompressing, but more often than not, there are other people who spend that time talking with their friends. I've been to other CPY locations where they make a point of reminding people not to talk in the studio, but Roscoe Village doesn't do that. read more

Hot Power Fusion at 6am?! Heaven sent. Granted, I've only taken two 6am'ers so far, but the class really does wonders for the rest of your day. I felt pretty energized and focused during work, not like I was going to pass out from exhaustion (as I predicted). This studio also offers 'Hot Yoga Express' which is most similar to Bikram (but the class is only 60 min, not 90 min). I tried this class out for the first time today with Marian and loved it! She was a great teacher (demonstrated the poses, walked around, adjusted poses and was very encouraging). The poses are pretty much done in the same sequence as Hot Power Fusion, but without the 'flowing'. More repetition. It's a great way to change up your routine. (Don't forget your towel and water bottle! These are vital to survival in the class.) Since this Corepower is pretty new, it is amazingly clean (just like the other ones). There are two studios here (one upstairs and one downstairs) and both are pretty large. (I'll be honest, though. I like the one downstairs as there are no windows. Oops.) The bathroom/locker room is great and are fully stocked with lotion, hairdryers, cotton swabs, tampons, mouthwash, etc.. From what I've experienced, these after work classes are nowhere as crowded as in the ones in South Loop. You actually have room to move and not worry that you're going to hit your neighbor in the face! Ahhh, what more can you ask for? Other tips: Mat rental is $2 and towel rental is $1. Street parking is available all over the place on Lincoln and there's also a pay lot right across the street. read more

While I can only compare this CPY to the one on George Street, I can't imagine it gets much better than this location for the following reasons: Staff: AMAZING! Everyone is great, so friendly, and willing to talk to you about you practice, give advice, etc. Classes are awesome. While I can't attend any of the day classes during the week, my favorites are Sculpt with Brad on Tuesdays at 730, classes with Craig, Aubrey, Rebecca Ma (great way to start your day for the 6am class) and Jamie Lynn. I think Scott Z is officially at the Lakeview on George street, but he was pretty awesome. I also only stick with Sculpt, Hot Power Fusion, and Hot Yoga (though I think they are trying to phase this one out). Facilities: again, AMAZING! The studio sizes are great, much bigger than the George street location, plenty of room, and very clean. Locker rooms are well attended and well kept. read more

It took me about a week to get used to classes taught by young women instead of wizened old yogis with monickers such as "Ragunath". I put aside my prejudice and realized that these gals are really into their practice. Plus, you've got to love getting a mini-backrub at the end of class for a job well done. Over the course of several classes, Andrea helped me work through a back injury and provided individual attention and follow-up. Their schedule is really excellent. The sculpt classes are actually a nice cardio workout. And the hot yoga is a peaceful oasis on a cold Chicago day. After my first month here, I am feeling more limber, stronger and perhaps more balanced. Locker room is stocked up with everything you could imagine- even hair elastics! My only minor complaint is that the locker room is jam-packed and I've seen a few people get clocked in the head by standing up under an open locker. read more

I like this studio. The rooms are large and the changing rooms are really clean. I've taken about 10 classes here, all with different teachers and they have all been great. Street parking is available as well as a city lot with meter boxes on Melrose. read more

I love core power. It's clean....tons of classes to choose from. The staff is amazing. I always feel better when I leave there. I go to the Rosco Village location. It's fantastic! read more

Love this studio, it's nice and spacious. There is enough room to check in, it's not crowded at all and the people up front are so friendly. They offer a good variety of classes. The rooms are a nice size and some of the evening classes get crowded, but because the rooms are large, there is enough room for people to move around. I have only taken evening HPF classes here and the teachers all have been amazing with good playlists and they offer hands on assists. I like when teachers do this so you know if you are doing the poses correctly. People here seem friendly and smile at you which is nice. Parking here is easy, I've always parked right in front without any problems. read more

Alex is a great instructor Wednesday nights for HPF! Super beginner but makes me feel welcome and explains throughly different variations during class. Wonderful costumer service from her as well! Wish she taught more times I could attend!! read more

It could be a year or month break but I always end up back at CorePower Yoga. I just love that they have so many different types of yoga classes that can fit anybody's need. I really love the sculpt classes which are heated and intense. You will sweat... alot, but you will feel amazing afterwards. I have also taken their candlelight class as well as their C2 class both of which were challenging but in a different way than sculpt. Everyone at this studio has been really welcoming and friendly. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and willing to help. They have two studios one upstairs and one downstairs. The locker rooms are very clean with nice amenities. If you are downstairs and in one of the classes where they jam out I would avoid setting up near the speakers in the back. I did that once and had a hard time hearing the instructor, read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this studio! These teachers are hands down the best in the franchise. Each one gives you a unique approach to their class. It's truly a community and I couldn't be more obsessed with Sculpt or HPF. CP has changed my life! Yet corporate is changing the schedule next week and I think everyone is really upset by it. More C2's and less HPF is terrible. Moving the class times is also really unfortunate. Does corporate think we want to get home to our families even later? Makes NO sense. I really hope they wake up and leave the Roscoe Village studio alone. Let the people that know what's going on, run the studio. I'm pretty sure corporate would prefer that revenue stream than what they are about to do. Such a shame. If it's not broke... read more

CPY is a place with the trifecta. the BEST instructors, classes and studio. Everything wow's me, from the studio design, to the soft flooring, to the amazingly personable instructors who really know their stuff. You can tell they have been through some great training, and that I apprectiate. read more

I love this yoga studio with all my heart! I have had almost every instructor here at one point or another, and they are all amazing in their own ways. Each class at this studio is "hot yoga," but the level of class determines the heat and humidity of the room. There are lockers in the changing rooms, if you feel the need to lock up your valuables, and there are showers available to use. I do wish they offered a variety of classes depending on the day because it gets a little monotonous when each day's schedule is the exact same. For example, the noon class is always "C2." It might be nice to switch it up some days, but I usually just go at different times to experience other classes. read more

I stumbled upon their free 7-days yoga coupon in a boutique store and thought it'd be a great opportunity to tryout their classes. I've been really stressed out at work and making time and effort to attend a 1 hour yoga session after work is definitely the best therapy! They've many time slots everyday and a variety of different yoga workouts. The heated yoga is an intense class and its more suitable for people with yoga experience. I personally enjoy the candlelight or beginners yoga as its more relaxing for my mind and body. read more

Love this location as it's a half block from my condo. I primarily go just for sculpt, and all the instructors are great and super friendly. They have have a locker room (with showers) or you can just throw your stuff in one of the cubbies by the door -- the door is locked during class so you don't have to worry about theft. read more

The instructors are always friendly and super helpful! Would def rec'm any of the HOT classes!

another great CPY studio. this one's located near the place i work on wednesdays, so i'm able to walk there and get my sweat on. the studios are located on the same floor and also in the basement of the studio. all the studios are the same, but just different layouts. for the complicated corner space, they did a good job laying it out. unfortunately there is no parking lot for here, but plenty of meters and street parking along lincoln and the side streets. read more

Awesome studio. I took the level 2 class and itbwas just what I needed on a cold day like today. I was greatful that the staff wiped down the floor between class. read more

Great teachers and class offerings. This is truly where I find my zen and recharge. I wish I could get here more often--- earlier class offerings would be great.. i.e.) 5:30ish? read more

I love the teachers; everyone is so welcoming! I also appreciate how clean the space is. Thank you!

I was really impressed by CorePower Yoga. Before I went I was afraid that it would be a McYoga studio but I am delighted to report that my experience has been 100% otherwise. The facility is incredible and great for all types and levels of yoga practitioner. Not only is the environment immediately calming but it is extremely clean, something that is important to me. The front area is beautiful, as are the studios and locker room. The staff are great and I have already had several conversations that really impressed me. They are both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about yoga and supportive of everyone's development. The classes are very well led, challenging, and left me wanting more. I am thrilled to have discovered CorePower Yoga and look forward to improving my practice now that I have finally found a studio that is both convenient for me and truly encouraging. read more

I'm that girl who falls asleep during yoga class. So while yoga works wonders for most, not so much for me. Heh heh. This space is beautiful though and they have some cute yoga gear! I know I know... So desperate housewives to not be able to hang with the class but wear the gear to hang around in like a poser. It's comfy. Can't a girl be comfy? ;) read more

I'm hooked. I feel so much more relaxed and calm in all aspects of my life since I began taking classes at this location. Not to mention finally close to getting my pre pregnancy body back. Haven't had a bad instructor or class at this location. Love the space, easy street parking ( huge meter parking lot across the street in case street parking not available). Tends to draw somewhat of an older crowd overall in comparison to the location in lakeview ( Sheffield) which Is full of 22 year olds. read more

I've been to numerous yoga studios all over the city. What is great about this place is the schedule. You can almost always find a class at a studio near you when you want to go. And all their classes provide a decent workout. Now for what I dislike... This place feels like it is run like a Walmart, CVS, or TGI Fridays. I feel horrible for the instructors because it seems like they are just reciting some generic script that they were made to memorize. After every class they all have to say the same thing which is something about bootcamp or teacher training to bring In more money. The classes get boring really fast because they're very similar. Core power was bought out by a private equity firm in 2013 which is explains why they have a soulless atmosphere. As long as my schedule allows, I prefer to attend class at a locally-owned studio. read more

Beautiful space with nice fixtures! I wish there is more space.

Yet again, another wonderful CorePower studio. I've only been to South Loop, Uptown, and this one (which says Lakeview in the Yelp description but is listed as the Roscoe Village location on CorePower's website). I haven't been to South Loop enough times to review it, so I'll just say that Uptown and Roscoe Village are pretty close to a tie in my book. One of only two differentiating factors I've found is that the Roscoe Village instructors are a little less outgoing/hands on than the Uptown instructors. As someone who loves hands-on assists, that gives Uptown a slight edge. The second differentiating factor is that their large studio (on the upper floor) does not have any side mirrors - makes it difficult to check your alignment! Of course, just like with the other studios, the interior is immaculate and inviting (who wouldn't want to sit in front of a warm fireplace before class on a 20 degree day?). They also seem to have a great selection of retail products. A note to those who haven't tried a class here yet: the "upstairs" studio is really on the first floor, "downstairs" is the basement studio. Confused me the first time as I looked around, wondering where the stairs to the second floor were. read more

I bought the Gilt City deal for this location because I live really close. I finally got up the nerve to start my 10-class package on Wednesday night. I should have taken a beginner class, but I went for Yoga Sculpt instead. The class kicked my a**. It was very intense and I'm pretty sure I sweat out half my body weight (not necessarily a bad thing!). This definitely isn't any type of wimpy yoga. This is a great POWERful studio. I think I'll take a couple of steps back so I can work my way up to that level by the end of my 10-class package. But I have a newfound respect for everyone who does yoga in 90 degree heat! It's definitely harder than it looks. Only thing that subtracted from the experience was that their locker rooms were flooded with recent storms so I had to walk home looking like a sweaty drowned rat. But it wasn't their fault and I'll be interested to see what the facilities look like when I'm back next week! read more

Could not have better experience at Core Power Yoga! I will be back for sure. The staff was very knowledgeable and professional. I am not experienced at yoga and I was not intimidated at all!! read more

I couldn't thank this studio enough for helping me grow from a non-fitness couch potato (who would occasionally go for a run, with a timer set exactly to 30min) into a fully committed yogi in the course of about 6 months. Prior to coming here, the idea of holding uncomfortable poses and 'slow exercise' seemed boring and not energizing enough for me to keep going. I gave Corepower a try anyway on a whim, for mental self-care! I sign up for Candlelight Yoga, after a long day of thesis writing and internship. I thought I was all out of energy, I just wanted to relax my mind and cared less about getting any exercise out of this class. The hour flew by and I walked out of the studio like a whole new person! I went back every couple of days, it was therapy for me. After a month, I was attending a class almost everyday. I even started going to early morning classes with a stiff body straight out of bed... and walked out a happy camper to the sunrise. Also, practicing yoga seriously fixed my posture on my upper and lower back. Even walking feels less strenuous than ever before. I have flat feet and always had problems finding shoes, but yoga helped like magic. The instructors are very talented and know when and how to switch or explain the poses throughout class. Their narrations keep me focused and also continuously adjusting. Though HPF class follows the same sequence every class, each class was challenging. Some days, I couldn't do poses that were less strenuous on most other days. The routine practice made me more aware of the little shifts in my body. There really is no "getting better" at yoga, but I now see it as learning to become more attentive and understanding of my body-mind connection. After 6 or 7 months, I had learned to love my body, not just by getting so much more fit without that being my main goal!, but by being able to connect with it mentally and being able to do things that I might fear of not being able to do. I felt safe in this studio to push and learn. Thank you everyone at Corepower, for guiding me through my yoga journey! I've recently moved and no longer able to visit the studio, but you are all in my heart, always! (I've gone to a few other CP locations for HPF/C2 classes but.. to me, Roscoe Village overall had a stronger emphasis on the meditative quality, which I loved) read more

Great classes, great customer service, great company! Corepower not only offers the best yoga classes in the city, they also are always accommodating and friendly, and the buildings are exceptionally clean and sanitary. I would definitely recommend trying your free week AND buying a package of classes. read more
