Took the C1 class I am from out of town and really enjoyed this flow of class. It was not heated and it was perfect for people that don't like heat. Had a lot of time to just breathe and do the flows, they have alternate options. Great class! read more

A friend invited me for a heated sculpt class. Im glad I've done scult/yoga before because there was little to no instruction on fundamentals. Easy to follow, coach was super vocal about how many classes she taught this week, but she was still positive enough to be motivating. The workout itself was a pretty standard sculpt class, lots of reps with light weights. Salutations thrown in where it made sense. Seemed to be a brand curated playlist. The space was clean and welcoming. Would not hesitate to book there again! read more

The ambiance at the front desk was not welcoming, and the class didn't seem to be geared toward beginners, as my partner and I had signed up for. The instructor wasn't thorough with her explanations, lacked patience, and couldn't even perform some of the positions she was asking us to do. It also seemed like there were many regulars in that particular class. The room was extremely hot, which was odd since we hadn't booked the sauna experience. Additionally, there was a large roach in the lobby where everyone's belongings were being held, which was unsettling. On a positive note, the bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. **the picture of the roach is slightly blurry because it began to move. read more

Sweat-tastic! As a person who typically likes lifting weights and thought of yoga as only for balance and flexibility this place changed my mind. My wife and I took the free week and signed up for a yoga sculpt class. This class kicked my butt. Room temp is like a sauna so you're sweating and all the movements combined with lifting dumbbells simply drenched my clothes. It felt detoxing after completing it. Two days later and my legs are still sore. As a person who enjoys saunas and exercise this place gets me. Parking is available although I haven't personally used it yet. I was told it is found in the alley behind the store front. read more

The classes, the instructors, and the crew are hands down the best. Its easily a five star The three start is given to corepower corporation or whoever makes the rules. Reasons being: 1. Even during the pandemic, the popular classes were packed. Corepower sets such a capacity that the class gets so crowded that there is no individual space. It is literally shoulder to shoulder For example, people's sweat could drip on my mat or me when they move their body slightly; when I lay down on my mat, I see other's feet sticking to my face. Corepower makes it clear that it is the allowed capacity, there is nothing they are not going change. 2. Oh wait, they are going to change, to change the price. They raise the price regularly. Recently they changed the rule of class package and put a time limitation on it. There is nothing but greedy I smell behind the scene. A little tip for whoever still wants to pay. They have different pricing for different locations, north carolina has much cheaper price than chicago, so you can get either the membership or class package in North Carolina location and still use it in Chicago area. read more

I am hesitant to write a positive review for fear of my favorite class filling up even faster than it already does, but I must give credit where credit is due. I do not know how I stumbled upon Carmilla's sculpt class a few years ago, but I am so grateful that I did. You should know, her sculpt class is not yoga, nor is it like any other sculpt class you will attend at Core Power, it's better. Her class will challenge you mentally, physically and spiritually. She will push you to accomplish things that you didn't realize you could do. When you first meet Carmilla, you immediately see that she loves what she does, and it really comes through as she is always asking her students what they need and what they want to work on. But the coolest thing about Carmilla is that she is as kind and thoughtful as she is strong. She creates an inclusive environment in the studio that makes you feel like a part of a community, a family, and of something greater. If you are looking for a class that is challenging, unexpected, and real, I highly recommend signing up for Carmilla's sculpt class. You will not regret it. read more

This location is only a four minute walk from my work so I love starting off my day with a 6:30am sculpt class! These instructors and students are great and I'm always in a good mood when I start my day here! read more

Been here a couple of times and the instructors and facility is amazing. Locker rooms and showers are super clean. I actually lost my wine bag at this facility and the staff there went above and beyond to help me out. It was the Thursday morning crew at the front desk. I think their names are Natalie, Ashley and Bianca according to the schedule. I went in and asked if I can search the lost and found for my bag in the locker room and saw that it wasn't there. They asked me how it looked like and went full force in search of it and actually found it! Much love ladies and thank you for helping me find my wine bag that was actually a gift from a close friend. read more

I have been to a lot of different CorePower locations, and ended up rushing to this one when my regular class in Old Town was cancelled. I'm so happy I came here! I came in a few minutes late for class and the woman at the front desk asked if I would like her to set my mat down for me while I put my stuff in the locker room. I really appreciated that offer - a small gesture like that really meant a lot. Class was great and I absolutely loved the instructor. The space itself is beautiful. Clean, a lot of lockers to pick from, and it's BIG! And, the cherry on top is the free parking in the lot behind the studio. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Bring your own equipment to save money Great for hot yoga, but expect to pay high prices read more

CorePower Yoga - West Loop - Earthday yoga, hot - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been able to check out a couple of Core Power studios in a few different cities-- and the West Loop location is definitely my favorite. The studio is beautiful. It's spacious, the people are friendly, and the locker rooms are well maintained. From the moment I walk in the door, I feel calm and the stress I've been carrying is left at the door. There are three studios- one large, one medium, one small. This allows the studio to hold multiple classes that are convenient without participants feeling crowded. I've had great work outs through Sculpt, intense heated sessions through hot power fusion, and great stretches in C2. Thank you, Core Power West Loop! read more

This location is great - I particularly love the sculpt class for a great workout which incorporates cardio and weight training in a heated studio. I would highly recommend Carmilla's class on Mondays & Wednesday's for an intense and effective workout. Be ready to be pushed to new levels and get major encouragement on pushing yourself. Coming to this class has helped me so much in toning my body overall. Seriously highly recommended location and instructor! I also like the clothing selection they offer for sale and the parking in the back helps so much with the crowded area! FIVE STARS! read more

So far so good! I am currently attempting to find my flow in yoga culture, and so far I've taken two classes at Core Power and it's been...ok. It's a modern approach to yoga and a limited spiritual aspect. It's clean and positive and I will keep going to see if this is my place. read more

Dear CPY, If you're searching for a dose of serenity, not here. The sound of pop music and other random billboard hits blasting in the background is a serious kill joy. Monks chanting, wind chimes, or ambient would be acceptable. But no, apparently listening to Katy Perry with fake candles in a lukewarm room will get me closer to x. Incompetent instructor. The poses were rushed and he kept forgetting the sequence. On top of that, he kept going to one girl and kept messaging her back. Is this really happening? Maybe if he got his head out her ass he could teach the class. And then, with emphasis, fake candles. Fake fucking candles. Namaste, Fog of War read more

The west loop core power studio has become my fitness family over the past 1.5 years. I have laughed, cried and pushed through the lessons taught in each flow. A big shout out to Aly, Natalee, Caroline and the rest of the west loop team. Thank you to all the volunteers that clean the rooms and stack the block in cool designs. My yoga journey is taking me to other parts of the world, but this community is my sophomore album. The instructors have push me to be able to do inversions and stretched me past known possible poses. Thank you for all the energy. West loop puts the sweat equity into your body! read more

I love it here! Huge, clean and hot! Perfect. It's in a great neighborhood so coming in the summer will be more fun. The parking lot in the back is convenient, but sucks in the cold when you have to go all the way around to the front to get in. Unless you're lucky and find someone exiting from the back then it's easy peasy. This location has found it's way into my convenient rotation of studios close to me based on location and schedule. So happy with the CPY expansions! read more

A solid alternative to the South Loop CPY location, though the latter offers spectacular views of the Chicago skyline. Classes offered: I love that both the CPYs (West and South Loop) offer a wide variety of classes from Hot Power Fusion to CoreRestore (restorative yoga) to Core Sculpt to CorePower Yoga C1 (flow yoga) at a comfortably distributed schedule so you're more likely than not to find a class you want to attend at a convenient time. My personal favourite is the CoreRestore class on Sunday evenings to wind down from all of the heavier exercise I engage in throughout the week. Instructors and staff: I haven't attended enough classes to be able to differentiate between individual teaching styles, but on the whole, instructors are friendly without being too chatty and are attentive and hands-on, offering lots of variations with yoga blocks and adjusting your pose. No complaints with the staff, but nothing that stands out, either. Studios - I think this location has two studios. The one I've taken classes in is spacious and clean and faces the street, which can be a little distracting at times because I don't think they use blinds. Amenities: No free yoga mats or yoga towels (boo!); there is a $2 mat rental. The showers and locker room are well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair elastics and feminine essentials. They also have $100 yoga leggings and $40 tanks for sale near the reception, in case you're into that. read more

As a newcomer to CorePower, but not a hot yoga novice, I was very pleased with the class itself. I found the class to be challenging and each drop of sweat was worth it. HOWEVER, the locker rooms and showers were so incredibly disgusting. It's my fault for not bringing flip flops, but just looking at the floor of the locker room and shower made be sick. One noticeable thing was a used bandaid strewn on the floor. The shower actually had dirt in it - I don't even know how that's possible... and the amount of hair that stuck to my socks is astonishing. I realize that most members probably come to the studio to get their om on and then leave, but if you have the amenities, they should at least be clean to the eye. Note: I would have given this experience 2.5 stars if I were able. read more

Beautiful studio but its so much hotter than the other CorePowers. Is this because its new and the intensity will die down after a couple months? I sure hope so but for now I will have to refrain. Couldn't make it though yoga sculpt without leaving the studio a couple times. I have no problem getting through similar classes that aren't heated. I would LOVE if they offered yoga sculpt without the heat!!! read more

I really enjoyed the core power yoga 1 class that took on Saturday at 1:30 With Caroline which I took bus class pass. The while experience here was outstanding. I was warmly welcomed and given a free water bottle. The class is not heated but it is not cooled either giving the room a nice temperature for stretching out. I loved the flow of the class and the teacher's guidance. The facility has a great vibe and look - not too showy like yoga six in the south loop which feels more like a country club rather than a yoga studio. This place has great showers and lockers (bring your own lock). I am seriously considering joining core power yoga. I would love to make this a regular part of my fitness routine. Classes are pretty pricey but they have lots of ways to try for free and I would highly recommend to various levels. read more

I absolutely love all of the classes at this location. There is a wide array of instructors as well depending on what you are looking for within each class. I frequent this studio usually 6 times a week. I am always able to get into a class without it being overcrowded. The studio is very clean as well. Yoga Sculpt with Karmila is one of my absolute favorites as it is quite a challenge! read more

Great location and parking always available. Would like to know if anyone can recommend a yoga sculpt instructor at this studio they think challenges you with a great cardio and weight workout. My favorites were Kylie on Tuesday nights, but is not there anymore and Monika who is the hardest and best but only has morning classes and one night class at BT but is too late for me. I have taken a few others and they do not compare. This is keeping me from getting an unlimited monthly membership. The C2 classes are great. All the teachers I have taken for that class challenge you and you get a great workout from it. Anyone who has can recommend someone like either Kylie or Monika at either West Loop or Bucktown locations I would appreciate. read more

Wonderful welcome to the studio and I look forward to having time to go back this week!

Like all CPY studios, this one is warm, comfortable, and a haven away from the bustling city life outside its doors. The CoreRestore session I attended here was challenging enough while not breaking my back. Take advantage of the week of free yoga to try all the classes! I would completely come back here (and plan on it) when I can't get to a class closer to my house/work. read more

Been trying to come visit since Christmas 2015 (total of 5 times) & no one is ever in. I've come by during advertised business hours again today and still no one in. I can't imagine how many potential customers have you lost by not having someone in front during business hours. Frustrated potential customer went around the corner to Sat Nam Yoga. Thanks read more

I did the one free week here. The studio and locker room are very nice. I attended the c2 and power fusion classes. I loved the power fusion class. C2 class was okay. The staff here is very friendly and I like that they walk around during the class to correct your poses. They have a lot of classes during the day so finding a class that fits into your schedule is never a problem. I highly recommend the power fusion class. read more

Justin was terrific. From handling my last minute sign in, to leading a great C1 class, to processing my new visitor info afterward, all around a wonderful morning. read more

This is my favorite CorePower studio! I live about the same distance from this one and the Bucktown location, and I would choose West Loop in a heart beat. It's clean, generally not as packed as the other CPY studios, and the instructors are great. Kit and Natalia are my faves! No, this isn't a typical yoga studio, and that's why I love it. I come here mainly for sculpt, and sometimes HPF as well. Such awesome workouts and always challenging. read more

And there is parking in a lot behind the studio... I stand corrected. You need to get a sticker to display but there is a parking lot off the alley behind the studio with entrance on Elizabeth St. read more

Great CPY location! Lots of free parking out front and behind the building. I usually come for the Sculpt classes (love Gina and Kit's classes), but have also tried the C1 and C2 classes here. I love the fast pace of Sculpt and that you can use you class pack anywhere in the US - great for someone who travels like me! read more

Love this place. I have been trying out different Corepower studios around the city and this is by far my favorite. I come here Monday thru Friday and go to the Bucktown location on Saturday. This location is very clean, unlike the Bucktown studio. Everytime I have gone to the Bucktown studio it seems soo dirty. The instructors here are great. My favorite is Brandy for HPF. Shes very sweet and has a good flow in her class. The only awkward thing about this studio I would say would be that the first room has a pilar in the middle of the class. I don't know why they put it there because it looks odd. read more

My favorite CPY location in the central Chicago region, primarily for its cozy welcoming peaceful vibe. Just waking in you start to unwind a bit. Large clean lobby. Street parking is generally easy to find but there's also a lot behind the building that's free if you get a window cling from the staff. No locks available to borrow anymore. Locker room is large and clean with plenty of cubbies. read more

Amazing! Such a beautiful clean studio....awesome teachers and a great energy ;)

One word. Carmilla. If you love a hard, challenging, good @ss workout. You need to take Carmilla's sculpt class. The very first sculpt class I took of hers in south loop (which I am sad she does not teach there anymore... doesn't matter cause I'll travel across the city to take her class) I instantly became hooked. Her motivation and determination is contagious. When you take her class you feel like you are at war with your doubts and everyone in the class is fighting the same war with you. You may experience every emotion during her class- fear, doubt, anxiety, happiness, excitement, joy, self-love. She pushes you the entire 60 minutes...you definitely work for that final savasana. I made sure to make my sister take her class here on Thanksgiving Day. She automatically loved her class, the yelling, the non stop burpees and mountain climbers, the music, the energy. Level of difficulty- high. Worth every second. You'll never regret it. This is location is clean, although the studio mirrors always look foggy. I rarely have a hard time looking for parking. Free street parking. read more

Love the space. Clean and simple. Instructors vary in ability so try classes until you find the right ones.

Great studio with parking behind the building. Marissa K is by far the best teacher in the city. Her enthusiasm for life and yoga shows through her classes. I was recently at one of her sculpt classes and it was very tough, but the old school tunes got me though a difficult class. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Staff is welcoming and easy to talk to and classes are taught so well that I always know what I'm doing. Love coming here!!!

There was a review that talked about the atmosphere at this facility being a bit off and feeling like a corporate gym environment. I completely agree. I only went tonthis location once. The staff person at the desk was aggressive and unnecessarily rude. I needed to use the restroom urgently and told her I needed to take care of that before checking in. She didn't want to tell me where the locker room was and tried to insist I check in first, as if I was trying to get away with something! When I pushed back, another staff showed me to the locker room. Needless to say, I didn't appreciate that and have not gone back. The class I took was HPF and it was ok but that whole experience had me in a negative place, and I'm sure I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. read more

Some of the instructors are WAY too inexperienced to be leading classes. I appreciate that everyone needs to start somewhere, but I don't pay almost $30 a class and carve out an hour of my busy day to leave class feeling like I got absolutely nothing out of it. I took a basic C1 5:45p class last night (8/8) at the west loop location and it was awful. The instructor clearly didn't feel comfortable at all leading the class, she rushed through everything and we could barely hear what she was saying because she played very loud club music which didn't make sense for a yoga class where you want to relieve stress. She also ended 15 minutes early. I wish I didn't rush over from work to waste that money and time and feel more stressed after leaving. Please give your new instructors more training or at least have them shadow more experienced instructors in classes before they attempt to lead class on their own. Now I don't want to even come back to Core Power at all because you never know what you are going to get. read more

I absolutely Love CPY! I have been a member for about a year and a half now and I cant even begin to explain how amazing all the people are and this place is! They have such a great thing going with all their studios and teachers around the area! You really can tell that CPY's goal is to educate everyone on wellness and the body through yoga and movement. The classes are great and all the teachers are very well educated on the postures and movement they are teaching. I have been to a few other yoga studios in the past and this one trumps them all, and with so many different classes offered there is something for everyone. I would recommend to anyone looking to get in a great workout, build up a sweat and feel great while doing it! :) read more
