The CorePower Yoga Story

When Trevor Tice was left with permanent screws in his ankle after a climbing accident, he sought a new training method that would keep him active and challenged. He discovered yoga, got hooked, and with a desire to offer a practice that was dynamic, challenging and convenient, opened the first CorePower studio in Denver in 2002.

CorePower has seen wide scale success and steady growth since then. They opened their 50th studio in 2012 and now boast over 225 locations across the US, with more in the development pipeline. CorePower is available as a franchise model and, in addition, offers yoga certification training to aspiring instructors.

What To Expect From A CorePower Yoga Session

CorePower offers classes for different ability levels, with their CorePower Yoga 1 focusing on the fundamentals and CorePower Yoga 2 offering more challenging poses for more advanced practitioners. Other CorePower offerings, such as Strength X and Yoga Sculpt, incorporate strength work using dumbbells and bodyweight exercises.

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

The CorePower call center representative was friendly and knowledgeable, providing clear and detailed information about the studio facilities, class options, and current membership offers. They expressed genuine interest by asking relevant questions and conveyed enthusiasm, leaving us feeling well-prepared and excited for the visit.

At the studio, the receptionist was welcoming and efficient, completing registration promptly and offering a helpful verbal orientation. While the interaction was smooth and professional, it lacked personalization, such as using our evaluator's name or asking questions to establish a connection.

After the class, despite the busyness of the studio, the receptionist was engaged with us when answering questions about packages and membership options, but did not proactively guide our evaluator toward a future visit.

The Class Experience

CorePower Yoga Village received our Recommended rating for the Class Experience.

The class delivered a smooth and enjoyable yoga experience, skillfully blending effort and relaxation. The coach maintained a positive and enthusiastic demeanor, providing clear instructions and demonstrating a deep understanding of the practice. The flow was engaging, and the adjustments offered throughout the session helped participants find their edge without pushing too hard. The warmup and cooldown were well-structured, creating a balanced and rejuvenating session.

The class lacked some personalization, as the coach did not conduct an injury check, greet clients individually, or follow up with first-timers. The music played during the session did not feel well-suited to the flow and atmosphere, and the abrupt silence during savasana diminished the ambiance.

Overall, the session left us feeling relaxed and energized, and the sense of community within the club was evident, contributing to a welcoming environment.

The Equipment And Studio

The yoga studio was clean and provided a good amount of space for the class. The branded yoga mats added a small touch of identity, though the overall appearance of the studio was fairly standard and lacked distinguishing features.

The room was heated appropriately for a hot yoga class, but the lighting felt overly bright for the setting, which detracted from the relaxing ambiance you'd typically expected from a yoga session. Overall though, the space was functional and comfortable.

The Facilities And Public Areas

The studio offered a clean, bright, and organized environment that felt welcoming upon entry. The reception area featured minimalistic branding, including a boutique with branded merchandise, but lacked notable design elements that would create a strong sense of arrival or elevate the overall experience.

Lockers with key locks were conveniently provided, however, they were positioned in ways that often obstructed movement. Cleantowels were available to rent for $2.

The changing areas were tidy and stocked with thoughtful amenities such as lotion, deodorant, and mouthwash, but minor cleanliness issues were noted. Shower facilities included strong water pressure and premium toiletries, but again, we noted a few cleanliness issues.

Water refill stations were appreciated, though beverage options were limited to water, and no food options were available.

Digital And Technology

The club’s online booking system and branded app offered a smooth and intuitive experience, allowing us to book classes and explore the club’s offerings with ease. The branch-specific pages provided detailed information on the location and operations, helping us to feel prepared. Detailed class descriptions and coach bios on the main website would have been appreciated.

The website was professional, mobile-friendly, and consistent with the brand’s visual identity. Navigation was straightforward, and the tone of the copy was upbeat and motivational, clearly reflecting the club's values. The "about us" section successfully conveyed the brand’s mission.

The club utilized its own branded app and a comprehensive booking platform effectively. The availability of livestreamed classes expanded was noted.

Pricing

CorePower Yoga offers a free week for students and an introductory deal for first-time clients of two weeks of unlimited sessions for $99.

If you’re looking for a longer-term commitment, a monthly membership is available for $259 for unlimited studio and on-demand classes. The first month is $259.
