If you value your money, time, and sanity, do yourself a favor and avoid CorePower Yoga in Goleta…read more My experience was nothing short of infuriating, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. First off, I paid $34 for a Yoga Sculpt class, and if you know anything about Yoga Sculpt, you know the class revolves around the use of weights. They're not just optional props they are essential to the workout. Imagine my shock when I arrived 10 minutes before class started, only to find there were no weights available not just for me but for at least five other people too! When I asked the front desk for help, they just looked at me cluelessly. It's ridiculous to think I should have to show up 30 minutes early just to ensure I have the basic equipment needed for the class. Walking into the room, I was immediately hit with a wave of disappointment. The room was so overcrowded that I could barely find a spot to roll out my mat. I'm talking wall-to-wall bodies--no personal space whatsoever. At one point, I was literally an inch away from getting kicked in the face. I was worried I'd kick the person behind me, and the whole situation felt chaotic and unsafe. After struggling to even set up my mat, I tried to start the class, but it was impossible to move without risking hitting someone. I ended up leaving just 5 minutes into the class because I physically couldn't do the workout. I pay too much money and go out of my way to attend these classes, and to have my workout time wasted like this was beyond frustrating. After leaving, I went to the front desk to share my frustration. That's when I learned the real reason behind the madness--they recently increased the room capacity. But here's the kicker: They didn't increase the space or supplies to match. When I expressed how upset I was, the girl at the front desk offered nothing but a half-hearted "sorry." No compensation, no offer to help, no attempt to make the situation right--just a dismissive brush-off. The instructor did nothing to help either. She could see people were struggling with space and equipment, but she didn't bother to address it. It's not just about guiding a workout--it's about creating a positive, supportive environment. That didn't happen here. In short, CorePower Yoga in Goleta is overcrowded, poorly managed, and not worth the steep price. Literally Spend your money anywhere else where you'll actually receive the service and experience youre PAYING for.

The good instructors are very good (looking at you, Natalie!), and the not so great ones just have a lot to learn. Decent variety of classes, mainly vinyasa flow classes. However, for such a small space with 3 classes a day offered MAX, no classes on the weekend, and a couple of inexperienced instructors... $100/mo for an unlimited membership is quite steep! I've paid $65/mo at other small private studios with more experienced instructors that offer about 8 classes per day! Just food for thought.

The bitch named Lindsey ask for a$50 credit card payment prior to the lesson. The guy she told me will give me the lesson was filthy with a broken filthy board, and when I asked about the suit the Lindsey supposedly told him to get (after she took my size over the phone) was not a women's suit and not my size! He asked me to get into the water without it but I refused and when hopelessly I tried to squeeze myself in a suit that is 3 sizes smaller, it got stuck half way through! I was furious! And I told him that this is not the service I expected for $100. I told him I want to cancel the class, then he got so mad at me and he literally ditch me in the street in a location I'm not familiar with since I'm just a tourist. Tried to call Lindsey a thousand times and she stopped replying. I ended up canceling my credit card and taking the action through my back. DO NOT TRUST these people , The worst service on planet earth!!!! Soooooooooooooo disappointed! I bet they either paid those who wrote good reviews or just made up accounts to write reviews themselves like this very last one "Julie D" posted how good Lindsey is hours ago :( so pathetic....,
