Student Testimonials
Instructors and the amount of classes everyday
CorePower Kapolei is a great studio with a wide variety of classes. The instructors are outstanding and create tailored, engaging experiences that truly connect with students. Gino, Mareen, and Ariyanah, in particular, are frequently mentioned by students for their ability to create meaningful connections and deliver exceptional classes.
Amazing C2 flow with high engagement and dynamic sequences leading to grasshopper pose and on backs to stretch. I feel recharged and recalibrated in body, mind, and heart. Thank you Mika and CPY team.
Kahala studio is very clean and well managed. Good vibes. Lovely instructors .
The workout
I was visiting Honolulu from Denver, CO and had the pleasure of attending two classes at the Ward studio during my travels. Both classes were lovely and I especially loved Isabella's Core Restore class. It was the perfect way to end a beautiful Hawaiian vacation. Thank you!!
The staff is great and the facility is always clean.
The staff is always so welcoming and the facilities are clean and well maintained, but most importantly, the instructors (especially Jade) are fantastic!
The facilities have greatly improved over the last few months. The bathrooms are so clean, the showers are immaculate and I love that they replaced the old dirty shower curtains. I also love that they changed out the hairdryer for a new one that actually works! I especially have enjoyed the creative themed classes that they have put on. It keeps the workouts fun and fresh and actually encourages me to try new instructors that I haven't before. I also love the guest vendors that they invite for pop-ups as this also encourages me to visit the studio rather than another CPY location.
The teachers are amazing. I like feeling kike it is yoga + dance with the lights dimmed.
Everyone was super friendly, informative and professional
Facility was great
Instructor
Integration of Hawaiian words/culture
CorePower Kapolei is awesome! The vibe is chill, even though the instructors are hardcore. I always get a great cardio workout with sculpt classes; I get my power workout in with the strength classes; and I get my recentering in with the C2 classes. The instructors at the Kapolei location always greet me with a big smile, call me by name (we're not just a number!), and hit it HARD once class starts. During class, we always get those words of encouragement - pushes me to do just ONE more set!
I absolutely loved Chinami’s class! She has such amazing energy and creates the best vibes from the moment you walk in. The class was fun, uplifting, and challenging in all the right ways I was sweating so much and felt incredible afterward!
Chinami is such a wonderful instructor. Her positive energy is contagious, and she makes the whole experience feel motivating and enjoyable. Hands down one of the best yoga classes I’ve taken. I can’t wait to take her class again! Mahalo!
I lked so many things about Core Power yoga, I donʻt have time to write them all now. But what I will say is that I love the strength x format so much, and for us women in our fifties, having a weights class like this is so important and perfect!!! We really need this. It is a great format. I love the opportunity to do weights in a class that isn't sculpt, since lifting heavy now seems to be the health guidance for a strong body! Core Power Kahala has some excellent teachers ! Teresa and Maka, of course, are so popular for great reasons. They are treasures in their own way, but Maka so effortlessly weaves Hawaiian culture into all her classes that you truly feel enriched in both body and mind, and you learn some Olelo Hawaii. Teresa is also magical. Melissa May adds so much humor that you forget you are working out. There are a host of other graceful and lovely teachers at Core Power Kahala! The good music also really adds to the experience, especially when you can tell the mix was really intentional, and as a personal bias, I love songs with lyrics!
Teachers are nice and make the exercises challenging and match the exercises to the beat of the song. That is helpful to keep you motivated and on task. Maka, Theresa, Rachel and Athena are the best Scuplt teachers and kind instructors.
I love this studio! The staff is always so nice, and the studio is consistently clean and welcoming. I also really appreciate that CorePower is on ClassPass, it makes attending classes accessible for me as a student. My only disappointment is that some of the more popular class times no longer seem to be available through ClassPass. I used to love attending those classes and definitely miss having that option!
I love the free community classes
The workout studio and restrooms were immaculate. I felt very comfortable modifying my workout to fit my abilities. The front desk and instructor were very welcoming.
Ward is the best! 🧡🧡🧡
I love the teachers and how passionate they are about yoga and wanting to share it with others. The community aspect of corepower has also been great to experience.
I like there classes! You'll sweat a lot.
Seamless experience to add workout into my life
Quality of teachers.
Friendly staff, great location, clean & cheery studios, good music tracks to flow to!
I LOVE the instructors and their unique additions that they bring to class. No two classes are alike and there is always a crowd of people there to strengthen and GLOW!
Great energy and the Studio is VERY CLEAN! It is much more organized and presented well compared to other studios. It is my favorite!
I take the 8pm sculpt classes and every time I attend, I am stronger for it. The instructors are motivating with great energy and I love that the more experienced teachers change up their routines & playlists so the classes have new challenges and never get boring.
Kick butt but feels so good when done
Shout out to the new studio manager as I’ve seen positive changes since she came on board. The women’s locker rooms are much cleaner. Morning classes went back to 7 AM as opposed to 715, so I am able to stay longer Monday through Friday. And I’m so happy that Cameron was able to take over the 7 AM sculpt class on Thursdays!
Thank you!
I love the instructors, especially Mareen. She’s all about form, and she knows exactly how to guide my practice to help me push myself while listening to my body. I especially love her Core Restore class. I wish there were more Core Restore classes available during the week. I also wish they would occasionally offer a 90-minute Core Restore class.
