Student Testimonials
great, consistent instructors. lots of YS options, which i love. CSX could be 1hr. to get suited up and parked for just a 45min class feels a shortchanged.
These classes are very instructor defendant. Would recommend getting more instructors of the caliber of Carolyn, Meghan, & Michelle. I feel like the other instructors i've tried just do not push as hard or have as motivating of a class. I end up booking at other studios
Love the 5:30am classes! Excellent instructors! Challenging and addictive classes!
Instructor was amazing! Facilities were convenient.
I loved the sound bath experience with Kristen & Nicole at CorePower Rockridge
I love this gym only gone a couple of times but already have recommended it to so many people !!
great work out and instruction. I feel like a new person each time
I like the teachers, the welcoming atmosphere, the music, the relaxing feeling that the experience brings
The instructors are excellent, the studios are ample in space and clean. The variety of classes are fun & challenging. And I can use my membership at any CorePower location.
The yoga instructor, Cara B., was terrific!!!! She was very welcoming as it was my 1st time attending a CorePower Yoga class. I loved her class and her music and how attentive and present she was w her students! IT WAS FANTASTIC and I can't wait to do her class again!
Jojo was great. enjoyed the energetic yoga 2 class
My fav CorePower location!
What a grata community and safe space
It was a great session. The instructor was well organized, her voice soothing, it was a thorough and challenging work out. My hesitation is the price and trying to fit classes into my scheduled to make the price worth while.
I love that there are free community classes on Sundays! Please keep them around. The instructors at Rockridge are also very kind.
i was warmly welcomed in. everything was explained. i love the locker system. the instructor and class was great.
I think Olga is one of the best yoga instructors I’ve had in the last 20 years of practice. I met her through her classes in Rockridge and followed her over to Grand Lakes. I love the studio atmosphere at both locations.
First, the hour went by really quickly in Olga’s class Second, she had us do fundamental moves with smooth transitions that made the workout ergonomic and safe for my body, which I really appreciated. I also felt like I was in a very professional class where my technique was gently being improved. I’ve been looking for a C2 course just like this.
I loved the instructor's tone and her directions were clear. I appreciate that Blackhawk does periodic free classes. However, I find that inexperienced folks tend to attend a C1 free class, and the instructor's explanations weren't broken down enough for someone with minimal experience. I think it would have also been helpful if she'd prompted some of the inexperienced folks to slow down and correct their form so they don't get hurt. For example, one person next to me was more focused on power poses and push-ups than the sequences and transitions. As someone who has practiced for over 20 years, I knew his form and his rushed transitions were putting him at risk of injury. Not to mention his breathing was labored and he was grunting or doing horse lips repeatedly through class at inopportune moments. It was both risky for him and it ruined the otherwise calm, unified energy of the class. I would have liked to hear the instructor correct him for all the reasons I named.
The instructor was great. The facilities were really nice and clean. The class was challenging but doable. Great experience and I will be back.
It's your focus on Yoga on the quality of the teachers.
Love the work out
Everything, the walk out and caring and the attention of the trainer. Everyone in the Berkeley West are wonderful.
I love the vibe people are chill and I feel like the instructors are really good. Also love how it doesn’t smell like the Berkeley location. They keep it clean!
I really enjoy the variety of classes that the Berkeley-West location offers. There is a style for everyone whether you are new to yoga or an experienced practitioner.
I love CPY, it’s such a fun way to get my workouts in as an off season athlete. It’s also a time where I can forget about everything else and just focus on my mind and body. The instructors there are the sweetest and friendliest people I have met. People I bring to CPY love it as well, especially because of the range of classes for different physical activity levels.
Great instructors and facility.
Very kind teachers and the classes are great.
It Was Great!
Friendliness, community, variety of classes, from easy to hard.
I LOVE BLACKHAWK! They really care about their members and listen to our recommendations. And they change/modify/improve when needed. That is so uncommon these days. Thank you for always listening !
