Student Testimonials

Clean facilities, caring teachers, friendly and welcoming vibes

Thank you Tori!

Notable experience.

Appreciate the pace and the moments of silence during your personal intention / reflection to start class. It was meaningful and emotional and POSITIVE. Huge smile. Wish I could have recorded it and could turn it into an inspirational commercial.

The physical elements of your class and flow felt TREMENDOUS!

“The purpose of binds when they arise in your pose/practice is to open up your heart.” WOW!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

The last song and meditation is something I will never forget! Again… Thank You!!!

Great instructors and love the environment - temps/heat/peacefulness/nice studio

All of the instructors are so empowering and make you want to continue to get stronger. The Old Town studio is also very cleanly and well maintained!

All staff is very polite and it’s a pleasure to practice yoga as instructors are trained to bring effective classes. Highly recommended!

Great class with very motivated instructor. She was fabulous!

The instructors are super friendly, engaging and encouraging! I always leave the studio feeling strong and inspired!

I just learned you offer a senior discount which made my day!! With gym membership costs going up all the time, prices for everything going up, it's great to see you trying to help out people with deals and discounts.

Great experience.

Caroline C was a fantastic instructor. Super fun themed playlist and felt great after class.

The studio along with its instructors are amazing!! I love going every day and doing classes with my girlfriend - I would recommend this studio to everyone!!

Meg De was AMAZING. She has been one of my favorite instructors so far. Her playlist was perfect and made it a fun experience.

The Community, The Energy, & the Vibe is the best at Old Town!

Marissa is one of my favorite teachers in the city. A well balanced but challenging class.
Her demeanor brings a sense of tranquility to my practice.

I visited the free warm Sunday Flow and it was great. Very well led, very welcoming.

Love this community - Caroline, Ryan and of course Frank rock these sessions and always make me feel welcome.

These sessions always challenge me in the best way and nothing ever gets old - the teachers are always creating dynamic flows.

Abby was amazing, best yoga class - will def be back.

welcoming experience for a beginner!

This was my first time at the Old Town studio. It's a great location, with big studios in an older building. Excellent class. I'll be back.

C2 is the best exercise and everyone is chill and friendly. Feel totally welcome as a guy who enjoys yoga. Favorite instructors are Stephanie and Amanda!

Love Caroline and her flow. Always a friendly staff, very welcoming.

Frank’s class was incredible. So much love, attention and community. Music was great, too. Thank you, Frank!

I haven't been to CorePower since before Covid, and it was great to get back to my Mat. The class was exactly what my body needed. The instructor was really good, and I'm looking forward to more classes in the near future.

CPY Old Town has the best community in Chicago!

Staff was welcoming. Sizable facilities. Seemed well maintained.

I really like the classes and the instructors are excellent. Shoutout to Meg, Gabe, and Emily!

That said, as a regular student and former instructor, I think the Old Town studio itself is due for some improvements. Specific suggestions:
- Classes are regularly short of 5 and 8 lb weights. It feels pretty basic that there should be enough weights to align with class capacity. It would be great if the studio got more.
- The fully booked classes are often uncomfortably full, to the point where instructors have to move people around, which is awkward. I recommend the studio either adjust class capacity or have a better system for mat spacing. The black marks on the floor don't really work, and many of them are missing
- The women's locker room is too small for class capacity. I rarely see people use the showers, and the office space seems bigger than is needed (e.g., compared to the Lincoln Park studio). As a longer-term project, the studio seems due for a floorplan redesign

The corepower trainers are always so friendly and guide you through the classes great! The studio is always very clean and overall great environment!

Great instructor
