CorePower Yoga

I went here for the first time and had a really great hot yoga class! The studio was not too crowded and there were several class options to choose from. Because it was my first time, I got the first week free! Get ready to get sweaty and feel amazing after!

Had a C1 class with Patrick today at noon. Absolutely loved his class. He gave me a second wind for the next half of my day. I will be a regular to Patrick’s classes. He has a very calm, soothing, encouraging, and professional teaching manner. All teachers I have had there are good, but I recommend taking one of his classes for sure.

The teachers here and great and the facility is always clean.

I was impressed by the size of this facility and the large locker room area. I used a groupon for one month unlimited class membership. They have mats you can borrow for a class & if you ask there are locks you can use in the locker room to lock your stuff up if you want. I loved the majority of the classes. The instructors were very good & kept the class moving along quite well. I was a bit annoyed with a candlelight yoga class I attended which ended up being a bit too packed for me & the lights in the room were turned on 5minutes into the class which completely voided the «candlelight» portion of the class. This annoyed me as I specifically came to the class for the candlelight. But other than that specific class, I quite enjoyed my time there. Due to the distance from my house and the expense I probably won’t be continuing past my groupon month.
I will say parking here can be difficult to find and one instructor even mentioned that as the holiday season got closer that parking was only going to get worse. If you’re coming in the evenings or during the holiday shopping time period do yourself a favor and just park in the structure and walk. As a note, the studio is on the second floor so you will either need to take the stairs or the elevator to get up to it.

My home away from home for the last two years. Positive environment and classes that transform you peeling layers to reveal the authentic you. Prepare to sweat and then sweat some more. I highly recommend the New Year’s Eve special event, a great counterpoint to the typical New Years parties.

Love the classes they teach and each of the yoga instructors enthusiasm! Would highly recommend this studio!

I think CPY is great. The black tag membership is definitely the way to go.
First and foremost: ARRIVE EARLY to your class… Why? Bc it is rude to have people shuffle around and then some people get their mats moved up against a wall or half way up a wall because you want to show up 1 min prior. (This happened to me numerous times… I get to class 30 mins early)
Sculpt us by far my favorite and there are only a handful of good teachers. Sandi C, Jenn P. Le, Whitney, and Marissa. Everyone else just goes through the motions. I have been to a variety of sculpt classes…
Steph is a great asst. manager so look for her when you have questions.
I like C2 and when I need to chill 1.5 is great. Like I said it is a busy place… Esp bc of summer and it seems like most people in OC do not work… So get there early. Hydrate.
Only 4 stars bc of the lack of respect from other yogis and CPY’s inability to monitor how much they stuff a room. I will say most of the people are fun and have a great attitude.
Overall, I do find this to be a great escape after a long shift at the hospital.

I love CPY! I first took a class in 2013 and signed up for a month to month membership, but I am not consistent with it because it’s so expensive. I’ll start and stop my membership depending on how often I can go (ie: If my schedule doesn’t allow me to go at least 4 times a week, I cancel it!). The things I like about this studio: (1) teachers, (2) parking, (3) cleanliness, (4) availability of classes. One of the top reasons I sign up for CPY is Stacey’s Monday/​Wednesday/​Friday 6 AM class. She’s one tough cookie! I do wish that the 6 AM class started at 5:45 AM though.
Word of caution: My sister got her brand new rainbows stolen when she went to class and staff was unable to do anything to assist except offer sympathy. My sister waited until the class had cleared and an old raggedy paid of rainbow sandals was left over. Obviously intentional! I suppose not all yogis are good… Needless to say, I’ve been putting my sandals in my bag and brining them in the room with me.

This corepower location is amazing. They have three yoga studios! This is the largest studio I’ve been to and they do have amazing instructors. I’ve never had a bad or even a mediocre class. All of the women who attend are inspiring and there’s a relaxed, non-​judgemental feel to this studio. It’s all about the yoga.
Parking is easy in Bella Terra (but allow for a little more time around holidays when the shopping center is crowded).

I’m relatively new to yoga, but I’m comfortable at CPY because there are classes and students of all levels. I found CPY on groupon so decided to give them a shot, when I came in, they generously extended their 1“st week free” offer to me, even though I was a groupon-​er. The manager even gave me a second week free because it was their current offer. In total I received 2 free weeks + groupon for 1 month, can’t complain about that!
CPY is pretty pricey, and I’m having a hard time justifying the cost, if I continue to come at least 3 times a week it will be worth it, otherwise I’ll have to reevaluate. I signed up as a student, $ 125 monthly membership.
CPY has become my solution for an active lifestyle. I resolved to going directly to the studio after work. The convenience of the locker rooms/​showers and class schedule prevent me from making excuses.
Getting my workout done in one-​hour, immediately after work has given me a sense of productivity and provides motivation to continue on my path to self improvement.
I’ve advanced my skills and I’ve become very comfortable in the sculpt classes. Sculpt classes increase the difficulty level by adding dumbbell weights to the movements in class. I find sculpt classes very challenging but rewarding at the same time. You’re always welcome to follow at your pace, but it’s motivating to be able to keep up with the instructor.
Every instructor is different and emphasize on different challenges, and/​or go at a different pace. So you can be nearly certain that your workout will vary each session.
However, there is a general outline most Sculpt instructors follow, including variations of:
–warm-​up yoga
–sculpting with weights
–fast-​passed cardio activity
–movements focusing on tightening the core
–finally, stretching and resting yoga poses
The heat really intensifies all of the movements, so regardless of the pace, you are guaranteed to get your heart-​rate up and stay in that fat-​burning target heart-​rate zone.
I personally suggest trying different instructors, the variations in technique will provide you with new challenging movements and new perspectives.
Also, I strongly recommend a yoga towel, that lies directly over your entire yoga mat. Your sweat will create a slippery surface, causing you not to be able to hold positions, dangerous slipping, and overall instability and interference.
All-​in-​all, CPY has made it easy for me to include an effective workout into my busy schedule.
STAY HYDRATED!!!

I’m a huge fan of Core Power and the Huntington Beach studio is one of the best I’ve been to.
3 large studios and an extensive class schedule throughout the day.
Came here for the first time while working in the area and took a Yoga Sculpt class with Sandi. She was awesome, great energy and kept in interesting with some good variations to the normal Sculpt routine.
If you like yoga and fitness you need to try Core Power, you’ll be glad you did.

I’ve tried many different yoga studios, but none of them compare to CorePower! I’ve been a member here for several months now and every time I come, I always leave highly satisfied! They used to offer yoga Pilates here, but unfortunately took it out. However, the 1.5, sculpt, core restore, and hot power fusion classes are still really great.
The studio here is always clean and organized. There are showers and lockers in the back as well (ask the front desk to borrow a lock). Unlike some studios, the workers always clean the floor before each class begins and the members don’t rush in before its cleaned. If you’re using a block or strap, make sure you get the wipes to sanitize it before. Also, spray the citrus scent onto your mat too! It helps with relaxation. Trust!
Yes, it’s pricey. but it’s worth every penny! If you’re new, try their 1 week free trial & come early to find parking. The feelings and health benefits you gain after each class are AMAZING! Just try it! You can thank me later. Everyone’s really friendly, patient, and helpful. Only good vibes here! :)

I enjoyed coming here to practice yoga but part of me feels disgusted of the sweat and germ concoction of the floor I am on. I notice that the floor is not being mopped after each classes. For hot yoga classes that are conducted here, sweat is everywhere. People do not bother to wipe down the floor they flooded with sweat nor the teachers working for the company. I could somewhat understand that as a customer especially if you are paying a good monthly fee to practice here buy a little consideration to others that will be there after you. Nobody really wants to touch that sweaty goodness you produced. Its not that I am being a germophobe but sweat can transmit «contact diseases» such as MRSA.
I also noticed that the rooms are not ample to the amount of students that are allowed. I agree with other reviewers that it feels cramped in here– like canned sardines.
I do like the variety of classes and that they offer so much more classes than other yoga studio nearby. For that reason you have limited excuse not to go. The teachers here are not too bad and the routines are challenging enough that you will feel tired but with great satisfaction! Its what I call my yoga high!
I like CPY but I wish they could incorporate routine cleaning/​disinfection in between classes. I am sure I will be back then.

It’s hurts me to my CORE to say this!
After a week of «FREE» YOGA here I didn’t walk away with a good taste in my mouth! While «FREE» is my favorite «F» word I was glad my free COREPOWER YOGE was over here!
The #1 reason is its corporate feel and the way it is ran. It is UBER pretentious and is very cold! The warm paint color cannot masks the corporate feel or prices! If I wanted to go to a icy big box place I could have gone to 24 Hr Fitness! The students are NOT FRIENDLY and couldn’t seem to muster up a «HELLO»! I think there was one nice person to engage with me! VERY STANDOFFISH!
My second big issues with this place is the scheduling for newbie to yoga! I LOVE YOGA so much I am always encouraging people to try it out! The first thing people say is «I’m not flexible» or «I can’t do it» and I ALWAYS say tell them they can, take a beginners class, ask the instructor to help you to modify the poses and no matter if «Little Miss Rubber-​band» is next to you” do your yoga. That said they DO NOT offer enough CR (Beginner) classes. There are a few in the morning a 2 – 3 days and a few in the afternoon (2 – 3) days. If I work for a living how in tar-​nation am I supposed to learn and build up to a higher level when you DON’T OFFER enough beginner classes!
There thing seems to be all about HOT POWER YOGA which is great for intermediate to advanced but most newbie to yoga don’t need to start in a HOT room! And while they have rooms NOT AS HOT for a newbie it is still HOT!
I saw several new students having a VERY HARD time in the HOT classes and the instructor just «Kept the party moving» hardly paying attention to the student that was struggling! I myself did drink enough water one day and took a HPF (Hot Power Fusion) class and nearly passed out and I know better! The instructor didn’t so much as walk over to see if I was ok.
The last thing I didn’t care for was the mark up in store as you can expect with companies that have Controllers, CEO, CIO, Sales, Marketing, etc! You’d be better off buying a YOGA mat or supplies from the actual company such as Lululemon or Manduka. Even if you had to pay for the shipping you’d still save money.
The last thing is classes are back to back to get the best BANG for THEIR MONEY. So you can FORGET relaxing in «Shavasana» (corpse Pose) after a hot yoga session because you need to get yo azz out so the other class can come in! If you have questions for the instructor you better hope they stick around because most of the ones I had took off like a fart in the wind!
The one thing they did make sure to do was PUSH the Teacher Training classes! While it is GRET that they want to train people to be YOGA Instructors it seems more about the money and trying to have the biggest teacher training classes! It REALLY rubbed me the wrong way!
I will say the instructors and staff are NICE but for me I want a more relaxed, warm, cozy feeling in a studio! I don’t want to feel like I CAN’T RELAX and have to PUT ON AIRES just to do yoga!

Okay so I never did any yoga in my entire life! And i really wanted to give it a shot as I heard only amazing things about yoga. This place turned out to be really close to my house and so I decided to pay it a visit.
I went there to actually find out a couple of things like a) can a beginner like me do something here? And b) what are the charges?
The instructor who was there very kindly informed me that I can sign up for one week free! Unlimited yoga! And I was like why not. She was so helpful! She pointed out the classes I could take as a beginner.
I tried a number of different classes. Started with C1 then proceeded to C1.5. Also tried hot yoga and hot power fusion. I loved hot yoga! Infact they were all great and so were the instructors jill and red jen.
If only it wasn’t as expensive as it is. I am going out of town but once I get back I might think about it!
