CorePower Yoga

I did the trial run for one week free. I loved my first instructor at streeterville, but then I came to this location and it wasn’t very welcoming and the class was exactly like the class I had at streeterville … No personalizing at all, just like robots. Get in and get you out but I guess I was looking for more of a mind to body connection rather than the actual workout. I would have just stayed at the gym if I wanted just the body work out.
A huge reason why I do yoga is to balance out my regular gym work outs and daily life stresses so you could say corepower is not for me. I also disagree with them having mirrors as I have worked with studios without mirrors and it is so much better to not worry about how you look and just listening to the instructor and following your instinct with your body. It’s so much more relaxing this way.
People at this location also seemed stuck up rather than providing a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.

There’s no secret that I’m a fan of CorePower. I love that they’re expanding and opening new locations that make it more accessible to people’s work and personal locations/​schedules. I don’t love that they’re also «expanding» their prices… they seem to increase prices on a monthly basis! But that’s neither here nor there related to this location.
In any case, there’s one key thing I love about this location: both of its two studios are large, rectangular, and have mirrors in the front and on the right side. That’s huge for me because I think checking alignment is key, and not all of their studios offer rooms with two walls of mirrors. Bonus!
However, in the short time this location has been open, there have been multiple occasions in which the bathrooms have not been functioning and/​or the whole studio has been flooded. Once we all had to use the men’s locker rooms. Just an awkward situation for all involved. Another time when the studio flooded, they had to cancel classes for the rest of the day. Word to the wise: even if you know their schedule by heart, check the app before you go.
Another thing just to be aware of is that the women’s locker room is quite possibly the worst setup of all their locations. It’s impossible to move in and out if anyone is standing in front of a locker. I wish they would have reduced the size of the retail space in favor of expanding the locker rooms.
Despite the two issues above, the studios themselves are great and it’s in a great location!

Nice studio. It seems like they keep their studio temperature higher than at other CorePowers in the city which I don’t like but others prefer.

This new Corepower studio in Old Town is beautiful. I have never been let down by any of the locations, classes, or instructors I have had at Corepower.

I was so excited when I saw the «Coming Soon» sign for CorePower yoga near my house. It is much more useful for me than the hardware store that was in the building before it. I am still on the free week membership, and I am hooked! Lots of classes at a variety of convenient times. For me it’s a 2 minute walk from door to door so the only way it could be easier to me to do a class would be if the instructor came to my living room– offer is out there… This is my first CorePower experience and I really like the fusion of relaxing yoga, hot yoga and sculpting. The candlelight yoga is a fantastic way to end a day. I like the variety in music that you don’t usually find in other yoga classes. Nolan’s class had my favorite playlist so far since I have most of the music he played on my own ipod. I also really enjoyed his teaching style. I’ve learned new poses in every class even though I’ve been doing yoga for ten plus years. I’ve been to four classes so far and each teacher has their own unique style, but you can see similarities in the format. This is the first yoga class I liked enough to get out of bed for a 5:45 am class. Yes, I willingly chose to lift weights and do squats in the heat at 5:45 in the morning. What have you done to me, CorePower? Keep it up.
