CorePower Yoga

I love this studio! The studio is so clean, and the instructors and staff are amazing. I definitely recommend getting early if you are headed there to the 5:30pm classes on weekdays as it can get packed, but what is great is that parking is easy and you can change in the locker rooms.
All the instructors are really amazing and there is no judgment during any of the classes — whether you are a beginner or advanced, I highly recommend this studio!

Purchased the Groupon for the one month unlimited. Since I was a new member, I also got a free week of classes. I only went to the UTC location due to convenience.
I will say that I didn’t maximize the unlimited month I had to take classes, but the ones I did take I really enjoyed. I took mainly evening classes and usually came at least 20 mins early just to get settled, though most people usually came 5 – 10 mins before classes.
The classes I went to were not overly crowded, but a decent amount of people, so space was never an issue. The heated yoga definitely makes you sweat, a lot… I really liked the classes and wished I could have taken more.
My recommendation or reason i am not rating higher is a new client I never felt welcomed. When I first signed up, I was not given any information– where the restroom was or anything. I actually didn’t know when I could get set up in class and was waiting in the lobby. It wasn’t until maybe a few people entered class I realized you can go in.
This location, and maybe Core Power in general, just didn’t seem to try to motivate me to sign up for membership or continue going.

I love CPY –it’s incredible and addictive. I have great classes with all of the instructors but due to my schedule I tend to go to Colleen’s classes (she is great about reminding people to breathe!!) and Jasmine’s classes (she is just a delight)! I find that the lessons I learn on the mat translate over into my everyday life… I am inspired by this studio and highly recommend it.

The best instructors on the planet. I love training here.
I’ve been to all of the studios in San Diego, and the LJ one is by far my favorite.
I will always choose this studio over the others!

Wow such an amazing studio! Went to a hot yoga sesh last night and this morning and both instructors were professional and attentive. Great clean studio and soothing atmosphere.

Very clean studio with very knowledgable instructors. I had a Groupon for an unlimited month here and definitely got my use out of it. Their classes are relaxing yet challenging at the same time. I wish I could continue to go but I cannot justify paying $ 160 for an unlimited month of yoga classes.

This corepower location has lots of parking and friendly staff. They have only one studio room and it’s a little smaller than some of the other corepower studios, but the instructors are great! I definitely recommend getting their early to get a good spot especially for the 5:30 classes. Early is on time especially for yoga. Some of my favorite classes are C2, the candlelit hot power fusion class, and restorative (especially after lifting).

Relaxing, peaceful environment with wonderfully clean bathrooms and studios. I’ve been here for the free week deal they give to new customers and for a yoga sisterhood with my sorority, and both experiences were fantastic! The only downside is I can’t afford to pay the monthly fee as a college student, but if I could, I definitely would be a regular!

While I was a member of Corepower I went to this location and the Poway location. Between the two, I think Poway is preferable overall.
I love the classes (especially the heated sculpt classes) but there are definitely a few things you should know if you’re going.
Get there early! Especially if it’s a 5:30PM class — It seems all of the classes at this time are ALWAYS packed… Even if you get there at 5:15, there’s a line to get in and you’ll end up with 1 – 2 inches of space between mats. Also, parking can be annoying at this time. You’ll always get a spot — but you might just have to walk farther than you had allocated time for.
Additionally, this location feels smaller than Poway. Because of the cramped space I feel like it smells a little… but that’s not unexpected for a heated exercise class.
The teachers here are great, it’s a fun community to be a part of. I truly felt like my body had become stronger after a month of 3 – 4 sculpt classes/​week.
The only reason I’m not a member here still is because of the price — waaaaaay too expensive to justify being a member here rather than the $ 30/​month at a gym. Maybe if I become a millionaire one day I’ll be able to stop buying Groupons and actually become a real member!

Been here about 10+ times. It’s a pretty clean studio. I’m bad at Yoga and I only tried the C1 so far but the instructors seemed all pretty good.
I don’t know much about yoga but I personally like some instructors’ music choices better than others…(I’ve heard some top 40 music which really didn’t help).but I guess it comes down to preference.
Overall, it’s close to my place. It’s not as personal as I would like but it serves its purpose. All instructors are pretty similar in style in C1. Maybe I should try C2 soon…

Being a beginner/​intermediate yogi, I wanted a vinyasa class that would challenge me physically and really work my body while also getting that guru mind magic. I started with the free trial week and I loved it! The intermediate classes were definitely challenging in terms of encouraging balance and control but they were also fast paced so I never got the opportunity to get bored with any certain pose.
The after-​work class is always packed though, so go early if you can and stake out a nice spot.

Great instructors. Some of them provide really helpful instructions to help you progress in your yoga practice.
Only con for this location is that there’s only one room and there’s very little room to line up for class. Some other Corepower studios have two or three rooms to minimize any lines forming

What a wonderful environment! I am new to yoga, as in I just finished my first week ever and I am truly loving the vibe here. It is calm and quiet with very friendly and courteous instructors. The restroom/​locker room is very clean and they offer several amenities such as deodorant and mouth wash. The showers are spacious and private.
After my first free week, I quickly started my membership. Sure, it’s a little pricey, but I believe it to be worth every penny.

These guys made me work hard with an unbearable temperature, but all I want to do is keep going back. I did their unlimited classes for a month Groupon deal. The instructors were all very helpful and their voices were like melted butter. The best part of course is when you get to lie on your back while they wave eucalyptus-​scented towels over your body. I’m really itching to get a membership, but their prices are so high. Their restroom/​shower room facilities are top notch though. Mehh dilemmas.
If you are three minutes late, you will not be let in because it disturbs those who have come in on time. Don’t start talking in the room either or you’ll get death glares (Whoops!). They also have free classes on Saturday nights.

This was my regular studio until they raised their prices! I’m still a fan though. This is your standard corporate yoga. By corporate I mean there are multiple locations throughout The States where you can use your pass and everything looks the same.
I love the La Jolla studio because even though I went there every day I barely saw the same instructor twice. This gave a lot of variety in instruction which helped me develop my own yoga intuition.
I recommend trying a sculpt class if you think there’s even a chance you could be up for it. You will feel so much stronger the next day! Bring a towel!

I am a big fan of this studio: teachers are very friendly, place is relatively clean (no bad odor for the most part) and great location.
I love how challenging some classes are — Hector definitely pushes my limits.
I do also enjoy a spiritual moment in the beginning and end of every class — makes you reflect and put yourself in a better state of mind.
I wish prices were lower though

At the time when I was trying to finish this review, I was trying out my one week free trial and had taken a few classes at Core Power Yoga already.
Signing up for your free trail is really easy! I just suggest you come at least 20 mins early before your class to fill out a form and for the staff to explain to you how it’ll work.
The showers/​locker room/​bathroom area is really clean. I like how they provide tampons, mouthwash, lotion, hairspray, and recently, I got a band-​aid here. They’ll also provide you with lock for a locker if you ask.
I do like how considerate the teachers are here. They make sure that everyone gets what they need here. If you don’t want to be adjusted you can always raise your hand to let them know. They also ask if you want the peppermint spray sprayed on you. It’s a pretty clean studio. But during my first class, I was a little grossed out because this girl stationed herself right in front of me, when we had the whole room basically to ourselves. There were less than 10 people in the class. During one of the poses, she was not standing at the top of her mat, and her foot almost touched my face. I was really just thrown off balance, and that happened like twice during my practice that day. I was super annoyed that the teacher didn’t do anything about it either. She was standing right next to me when this was happening.
I also am really turned off by the 5:30pm weekday classes. They’re usually C2, which is one of my favorite classes offered here, but these classes are JAM PACKED. The studio continues to allow more yogis in when it feels like we’ve definitely reached MAX CAPACITY. Please stop doing that, because it puts the safety of yogis at risk!
The 5:30pm C2 class I went to yesterday, people were kicking each other right and left. One of the girls lost her balance during her inversion and totally fell on the poor girl right next to her. :(I was also a little scared to fully savasana because I was scared my hands would be touching someone’s foot or something!
I am also not a fan of their Hot Power Fusion classes. I have noticed that they do cancel a lot of classes and subs are looking like a regular thing. They also don’t have a variety of classes to take, which is not that I’m used to from my old studio. The only courses that I enjoy here have been their C2, Sculpt, and Restorative Yoga classes.
Other than that, the staff are extremely friendly, and I appreciate that they try to get to know your name and you! I recently bought a Groupon for Core Power, so if you’re hesitant about the hefty monthly fee, wait for a Groupon! I will most likely be buying more months in the future after my Groupon ends, because this studio is conveniently located near me. I would just avoid the after work classes from now on.

First off, this studio is SO clean. The women’s change room has 4 showers, 2 vanity areas and LOTS of lockers. It’s very neatly kept and I was really impressed by the cleanliness.
The staff here is also very friendly and I really enjoyed my heated yoga class with Anja. They have Level 1 and 2 classes so just look at their online schedule to see which one you want to go to. Sometimes they even have some free beginner classes.
They sell a variety of yoga apparel (including Lululemon!) and accessories in case you forgot to bring something to class. They have mats and towels for rental as well.
And there’s PLENTY of parking available at this location so it’s pretty hassle-​free.
Check it out! Sign up for their 1 week free trial :)

As you can tell by my number of check-​ins, I love it here. I’ve only been practicing hot yoga since August 2012, but after that first week, I was hooked. At the time, I was doing barre method Pilates and running to stay in shape, but was experiencing major setbacks with running due to a recurring knee ailment. I also had some acid reflux issues as well, so I was hoping that hot yoga could remedy these problems somewhat.
I was a little nervous to try CPY, because I’d been to other studios in the area that I felt were too stuffy or preachy, and I never returned after the first class. But at CPY, everyone was so welcoming, and I was impressed that the instructors always made an effort to learn my name, my first time in their class. The space is small, but cozy, with a comfortable seating area around a fireplace. They have a great selection of retail, with brands like Lululemon, Beyond Yoga, and Alo Yogawear – not to mention, they also have a sale rack! The studio and locker rooms are super clean, and they mop the floor after each class so I never need to worry about hygiene. Would love the ladies locker room to be bigger, because it can get ridiculously cramped after class. But hey, all the more reason to stay in savasana a bit longer until it clears out. :)
They offer all types of classes here, and there’s always a mix of levels in each class – i.e. beginners in C2, advanced students in C1, etc. My favorite flow is Hot Power Fusion – aka the hottest class – but beginners, make sure you’re well-​hydrated, and prepared for a class at 105 °F. If you’re dizzy, take breaks! My only wish is that they’d offer HPF on the weekends at this location.
I can’t believe how much my body has benefited from my practice. My knee injury has improved dramatically over the past few months, and my digestive problems are completely managed by the yoga. And overall, I notice that I’m getting more restful sleep, eating better (with all the emphasis on the body in yoga, you’ll find you’ll want to treat your body to better food), and I very rarely feel stress (which, as a person with a full-​time and part-​time job, I’m the perfect candidate for it).
They did raise the class/​membership prices again, effective 1÷1÷13, but this studio (like all CPY studios) offers a Yoga for Trade Program, where you can get unlimited free yoga for cleaning the studio twice a week, for 1.5-hour shifts. They usually have signs up in the studio explaining how to enroll if you’re interested.

This is my first time coming here, and this place is really clean and small. I love small class, so you can see your teacher and classmates. If you go at the right time, the class is not crowded.
Anyways, I would go again!!! Love YOGA!
