We had called to sign my daughter up for a student pass and they said it was OK. I filled out the form. I put all that identification. She went to take the class and they told her that because she was 13 she wasn't able to, fine I understand, my daughter nicely asked Natasha (Natania?) blonde behind the desk to get on the phone with her mom so I could talk to them and Natasha rolled her eyes and said so nasty". I am not getting on the phone with your mother."!!!" Barking at the teens. I then walked in. She was so nasty rolling her eyes being so mean I have never had such a gross experience never ever going there myself now/ awful way to treat people read more

There's a lot to like about this location of CPY. The facility is newer, in a newly remodeled complex so it feels fresh and nearby coffee and juice joints are a welcome bonus. There is usually a pretty good selection of parking mornings and midday weekdays. Give yourself some time weekends and eves to find a spot. There's both men's and women's shower areas, with lockers inside & out both. They supply wash, lotion, shampoo & conditioner plus deodorant, tampons, hair ties, q-tips and mouthwash (when they have stuff in stock - I've noticed lately a dearth of paper goods - maybe they're overwhelmed now that Redondo location is closed?) There's a selection of retail especially heavy on colorful women's garb. The cleanliness level varies. I've been a bit put off more than once by finding full rubbish bins, dirty changing room floor mats and smeared mirrors at the first class of the day. Having student-cleaners doesn't really work for real cleaning. This inconsistency and how important it is at this price point knocks off a star for me. The instructors I've had here are just great! Especially appreciate the HPF classes taught by those who actually know the original Bikram style (like Raquel!). Two rooms so twice the fabulous opportunities! There are monthly special offers now and again; I got lucky and signed up when they were opening a new one in HB so my monthly unlimited nationwide except NYC is $129. They are also on ClassPass to try it out, but often more popular classes aren't on that app as they get close to full. Monthly is currently $199 with some discounts for seniors (55+!!), military, etc etc. so it ain't cheap. Be sure to read up on classes online for different temperatures and levels. So many options! But I appreciate the infrared heat and sanitary floors. No carpet in practice rooms! Both have wood-look laminate. Would say that facility lets many fewer folks into a class than other local CPY especially MDR. Free parking can get busy due to mall and those fluctuations. Give yourself 5-7 minutes to find a spot. TL/dr: heated or not, this yoga place is hot stuff! read more

Great instructors and classes - loved the vibes, sequences, and music. The studios are too small though. Three rows are squeezed in each room and there's not enough space; I've inadvertently kicked or been kicked because mats in each row are too close together. The bathroom showers are small and often dirty. I like the concept and wide variety of classes so I'll check out other Corepower locations in hopes they have bigger studios. Insider's Tip: First week free. read more

Makenna's 6 am Friday C2 was prime. I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years and I usually don't go to "chain franchise yoga" places but todays class and experience was a such a pleasant experience. She held the room beautifully and her queues were clear and direct. 10/10, will be back! read more

Love this studio! The facility is clean and there are several showers to use. There are also hairdryers to use if needed. Parking is quick and easy. The Manhattan village has lots of free parking so that's not an issue. I park by Anthropology as that's closest to the studio. Came for a 5:30pm C2 class on Wednesday and it was a packed full class. read more

I really do love this location but there are a few things that I don't love. One being that the actual studio rooms are so small. It would have been smarter for them to just have one big room. Each room might be able to fit 20 people so some classes fill up fast and if you make it in, you might be shoulder to shoulder. That can be really annoying especially during a sculpt class where you need room to workout. Even a regular yoga class, some moves require more space! One of the reasons I signed up for a CPY membership is because of their CSX class. Right before I signed up, I saw about 3 CSX classes in a week schedule in the South Bay Area (2 being here). After I signed up, there suddenly is only 1 CSX class. This location took both CSX off their schedule. No explanation. I really hope they start offering more of those classes. Another complaint I have is that they need to be on top of cleanliness here.. I took 2 classes back to back and the 2nd instructor just came in to spray a disinfectant all over the floor but it really needed to be mopped after a super hot, super sweaty sculpt class.. there was so much sweat all over the floor. I was a little appalled that it wasn't mopped up before the next class came in. read more

No bueno. For Manhattan Beach, I expected a lot better. No one was mindful of space. To be fair, the hot rooms are very small but the instructor was stepping over me the entire time. It was stressing me out. The sequencing needed some work and the instructor needed more experience. It was poorly led. One person actually bumped into me during savasana. As a yoga teacher I felt like this place was a joke and everyone was rude and on top of each other. I will head over to hot 8 while I'm in the area. read more

Oh my goodness. For all you guys who think soft, gentle, easy when you think of yoga, try their yoga sculpt, and you will have the best rude awakening. What an amazing workout, in a beautiful, nice clean facility, stocked with amenities. And one of the nicest parts of town, Manhattan Beach. Such a Zen setting overall. I am writing this in my euphoric post workout state. I pray everyone in the world can have this kind of experience at least once in their lives. read more

I love Corepower and have been attending classes for years. Liz is the worst instructor I have ever been to. Her class is un motivating and boring. She does not talk during the class other than when she is telling the class what to do. There is no cheering or motivational words it is literally silent. I had to look multiple times during the class to see if she was even in the room still. She also does not know how to count her 4 seconds was literally 45 seconds. Very disappointed read more

Love this community! Home away from home at this lovely studio the heat, location, and instructors are amazing!

I've been going to CorePower for over a year, and it's the best yoga studio I've been to. I've practiced yoga for over a decade at more than a dozen studios. This is the real deal. Incredible instructors, extremely clean, and has ample parking. Everyone there is kind, smart, generous, pays attention to detail, and knows their students. They are all highly-advanced practitioners and know how to effectively communicate. The most important thing is they meet students where they are, rather than push for an arbitrary "posture" or some idea of what yoga is "supposed" to be. Ariana is the studio coordinator, and she's also one of my favorite instructors. I went to her Saturday class every morning for over a year. I feel stronger than ever, my mental health is better, and I feel a great internal sense of peace. Never before did I find the internal motivation to keep pushing, but because of these instructors, I've felt empowered to find my limits and keep going. Every instructor at this studio is incredible, and truly is a gift to our community. read more

Corepower Yoga provided the perfect combination of everything I was looking for! I first tried a few HotYoga classes and while I loved the feeling of dripping sweat, I could not push myself physically enough due to the 110-degree temperature! Additionally, I felt really light-headed and sometimes to the point of not being able to breathe b/c it was so hot. The classes I have tried at CorePower have the room around 90 degrees so I can still push myself physically AND get an amazing dripping sweat going. I also love the combination of yoga and weights and felt that good sore the next day. I also appreciate the stretching for flexibility and some balance-focused exercises as well. For the class to hit on all these major goals in just one hour - flexibility, core strength, cardio (my heart-rate is certainly pounding), balance, weights and skin health is awesome! Oh, and the monthly all-access pricing is really great considering what some other studios are charging in the area. A real gem! read more

Love this studio! The teachers are very friendly, with a wide variety if classes offered. If you're coming later in the day (aka when the mall opens) I would definitely recommend getting there at least 20 minutes early to find parking. Been coming almost a year now to this location and am looking forward to my next class! read more

Great studio! Amazing instructors, infrared heat, and very clean. They offer a diverse class list and care about you as an individual. Just love it here. read more

I am absolutely APPALLED by my experience tonight at the Manhattan Beach CorePower. I only came to this location because Randi is one of my favorite instructors and I love her 90 min core-restore class which is not offered for 90 min at the other locations. I was so excited to bring my neighbor as a guest who has never been before - I come to yoga on a Friday night to find peace and relaxation and it is usually a safe space. When we walked in there were two blonde girls and Randi behind the front desk then one blonde girl on the other side of the desk. Randi greeted me friendly as always while the others simply stared and didn't even smile back or say hello then as Randi is trying to get my guests email they are literally talking so loud she couldn't hear him- he had to shout out his email because they had zero regard for us what so ever. Once class started the entire first 30 min all we could hear were the employees in the front talking and screaming so loud that it complete ruined the experience. I actually went out and said that all we could hear was her screaming and she was ruining the class for us because it was that bad- she literally said nothing...while giving me the meanest glare... no apology or consideration at all, like god forbid I interrupted her shouting. I have to go tell your employees to please be quiet and considerate of others in a yoga studio?! It was quiet for about 15 min then the door slamming began, cabinets banging, stomping around, literally being as loud as they could and it felt intentional. I mean how can anyone focus or relax when the people who work there are being so absurdly loud and disrespectful. I am so disturbed, I will never be treated like that by anyone ESPECIALLY when I choose this studio and pay $200 a month to be there. It's safe to say my friend will never be coming back or joining CorePower after this experience. It created a very negative and restless environment for anyone that attended our class this evening. I seriously love Randi and I felt bad for her because she had to keep shutting the door due to their noise and it kept heating up- all the instructors at the Torrance and Redondo location are so welcoming, kind, mature and calm- always, it is usually my favorite part of my day. But this was the most awful experience I've ever had. read more

Great space! Great class! Loved the Yoga Sculpt I took on Friday morning! Fantastic way to start the weekend off!

I don't recommend this studio if there's the possibility that you're even 1 minute late. I have taken class here a few times. Unlike other studios (even other corepower studios), they don't have receptionists here. The teacher checks you in, and the teacher will lock the door exactly at class time. So if you're even one minute late, you will be locked out. They will then charge you for missing the class. Parking is also not always easy since it's a busy strip mall. In my case, I showed up 10 minutes before class and had difficulty finding parking and got stuck behind someone driving incredibly slow looking for a spot. Not worth it with so many other hot studios around with professional management. read more
