CorePower offers classes both online and offline and has a strong focus on community and promoting inclusivity and diversity at its studios.
The Reception Service
On arrival at the club, the receptionist was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, greeting us with warmth and providing helpful information. She ensured the registration process was smooth, offered a verbal orientation of the facilities, and answered our questions about the studio and class environment.
While the receptionist mentioned a current promotional offer during check-in, no further effort was made to recommend future classes or discuss membership options. After the class, the receptionist was busy with cleaning duties and was unavailable to address additional questions or engage further about training at the studio.
The Class Experience
CorePower Yoga received The Fit Guide Class Experience Award of Excellence, making it one of New York’s strong, stand-out offerings.
The class was a great balance of cardio and slower poses, keeping the energy up and everyone engaged throughout. The coach was friendly and welcoming from the start, greeting us at reception and guiding the session smoothly. The clear instructions and optional progressions ensured that everyone, regardless of ability, could participate comfortably. Plus, the upbeat music and relaxing cooldown added to the positive vibes.
That said, a bit more of an intro to the class structure would’ve been helpful, especially for first-timers. Injury checks were missing, which could have helped make sure everyone felt fully supported. While the coach did try to connect with some of us, personalized encouragement and adjustments were limited.
Overall, the session was fun and well-paced, leaving us feeling great. The coach’s energy was a huge factor in the class’s success.
The Equipment And Studio
The studio felt very clean and fresh, providing all the essentials needed for a yoga class. The mats available for rental featured the club’s logo, adding a subtle branding touch, and the equipment was well-maintained and professional, though some weights had faded and peeling numbers.
While the space was appropriately heated and well-lit, the lighting felt overly bright for a yoga session, detracting slightly from the ambiance. The studio’s design was functional but lacked distinct character or standout features.
The sound system performed well, contributing to a smooth class experience.
The Facilities And Public Areas
The studio provided a clean and fresh environment that was comfortable for clients as they prepared for class. The reception area featured a minimalist design with branded elements such as motivational slogans and a boutique offering branded merchandise.
The changing rooms included lockers with key locks but lacked multi-functioning hangers. While shower towels and workout towels were available, they were $2 to rent, and the quality could have been better. The changing area was clean and well-stocked with amenities like body lotion, deodorant, and cotton buds, though a few maintenance and cleanliness issues were noted.
Shower facilities were available, with hot water, strong pressure, and premium toiletries provided, however, could have been cleaner. The complimentary water refill stations were appreciated, but there was a lack of beverage options beyond water.
Digital And Technology
The club’s online booking system and branded app made booking classes easy, and the branch-specific pages were super helpful, providing clear schedules and detailed coach bios. However, we noticed the main site was missing detailed class descriptions, which would’ve been a nice touch.
The website was professional, mobile-friendly, and kept things in line with the brand's vibe. Navigation was straightforward, and the upbeat tone made the experience pleasant. The "about us" section did a great job of showcasing the brand's mission and values, but we would’ve loved to see more detailed class descriptions and information on coach training styles.
The club made good use of its branded app and in-house booking system, with live-streamed and on-demand yoga classes making it easier to access training on our terms.
