Benefits. How I feel afterwards.
Took my first class with Rachel S at the Williamsburg studio and was thoroughly pleased with the pace and environment. I personally love hot yoga and the ability to move through the flows from basic instruction at the beginning to challenging myself by the end of the class left me feeling satisfied and ready for more. Will definitely be returning to her class soon. And great music selection as well!
Great workouts and great instructors! I’ve loved every single class I’ve been too and I like how each instructor has their own style and keeps the same class type interesting with all the exercises. I like how all the classes are structured and there’s always options to challenge yourself so that the classes never get boring or easy! Great music choices too.
I’ve only been to one CorePower location but everyone was friendly and welcoming. The studio was not intimidating at all and it’s nice to see all kinds of people walk into class. I think CorePower has something for everyone!
It was an amazing class one of the best I've ever been to, can't wait for the next time!
Lots of different class options and class times throughout the week.
Comfortable and clean studio. Great work out. Motivating teachers.
Excellent teachers and class is perfect combination of challenging & relaxing. I look forward to the Sunday class every week.
I like doing yoga with well trained instuctors in a warm room

very nice and efficient class
I truly love CorePower Williamsburg and want to start by saying how grateful I am for the community and the incredible instructors. There are so many teachers I consistently learn from, and that’s the reason I’ve remained such a loyal member.
As we head into the new year, I wanted to share one piece of feedback that has been weighing on my experience. The changing rooms feel very out of alignment with what otherwise is an elevated, yoga experience. The curtains simply aren’t wide enough, and there are often visible gaps on either side where others are able to see in while you’re changing right in the lobby. That lack of privacy makes it difficult to feel fully safe and comfortable in the space.
With memberships nearing $270 per month and without any real benefits (no complimentary mat or towel service), I think it’s reasonable to expect changing rooms that feel secure, thoughtfully designed, and respectful of personal privacy. Right now, that part of the studio experience feels surprisingly low-quality compared to the rest of what CorePower offers.
I share this with care and honesty, because it really makes me uncomfortable and I rely on them to change when coming to yoga after work.
Improving the changing rooms would make a meaningful difference in how supported and respected members feel, and it would go a long way in bringing the overall experience in line with CorePower’s standards.
Thank you so much for taking this feedback into consideration, and I truly hope it’s something that can be addressed in the new year. <3
I like the feeling afterwards of just feeling like you accomplished something hard
Olyvia and her team of yoga professionals are great. It’s a very welcoming studio, and has a good energy about it. I drive 25 minutes just to go to this location.
Great studio! I'm relatively new and the instructions were clear and I felt that they were encouraging everyone the whole time. What a positive experience!
Friendly and efficient

The community class is a yoga treat and Colin in my new guru inspiration!
Great community and fitness!
Lots of opportunity to work out. AMAZING teachers! Fantastic community!
I was visiting from out of town so this is not my usual studio. Anyways, I found this to be a very clean and welcoming studio and in a great location. When there was a scheduling mishap with a class without a teacher I thought Olyvia handled it as smoothly as possible.
The workout experience
Alll the teachers are the best so knowledgeable and kind.
Bucktown is clean, friendly and has great teacher teachers
Small studio, nothing overwhelming about it. It’s clean, teachers are good. It’s a nice little respite to get away from things.

Kahala is my favorite Core power location! The staff is just absolutely wonderful.
