CorePower Yoga

Thank god my class was free because I would have been pissed if I paid.

Loved my first experience at corepower! It’s unlike any studio I’ve gone to. The manager Kristina does a great job with a very professional but fun environment. After accidentally stumbling into one medford mixer event there last Friday it’s very clear corepower fosters a strong community. I hadn’t been practicing much in the last year but my trainer Chelsea got me so excited to get back into it. The class was rigorous but I felt safe and so good after. She’s super encouraging to everyone in the room. Great time! Highly recommended!!!

I love it!
The 1^st time I did Hot Fusion in the it was so hot that I have to step out twice of the hot room, I feel out of it but I went thru it! The sweat dripping down was very good, it’s what I need. There4, I still can’t handle it.
So instead, I do Power Yoga Core 1 Vinyasa yoga @ room temperature is perfect!
I like their soothing music, calms my nerves, the instructors help you relieve stress & relax & not think about the judgements!
I also do core power yoga 2 @ 8am weekends, it’s a bit longer, challenging, harder & a bit less hotter than hot fusion so the weekend will be mine!
Make you feel welcome, you want accomplish your goal or mantra. Hard part is getting there 1^st & start the session & you will feel better of yourself.
The studio & bathrooms are very clean!

I’m thankful I found this great community to continue my practice exactly where I left off. I love that they have several studios, if you miss a class no big deal just take a trip to another studio. I feel like I am a part of the yoga community the teachers are great especially, Chelsea, Kristina, Brooke and Max. By far my favorite class is core power fusion it allows you to grow practicing the same poses every time. The amount you will sweat amazes me! Thanks to all the teachers, I love core power yoga.

Amazing studio. I love this place! The classes are amazing, the studio is clean and the atmosphere is great. I recommend this to anyone who already has a basic understanding of yoga (not necessarily a super beginner).

I came here through classpass and went to the C2 class. It was pretty good! Great music and a friendly, knowledgeable instructor. I felt challenged throughout the workout and relaxed afterwards thanks to the long shavasana. I gave this place 4 stars because I think the structure of the C2 class in practice is a little awkward. You go from a smooth flow to a disjointed weight lifting session. I enjoyed both parts of the workout I just didn’t think that the two parts blended together well (e.g. we went from warrior three to high knees within seconds) so it was hard for me to get in the zone. I would still recommend trying out the C2 class or perhaps other classes at this studio though because as I said, it was a great workout and the instructor was nice!

Love love this studio. Great friendly and energized teachers. Everyone is happy to help you learn and improve your practice regardless of your level.
My only complaint is that they have the same schedule every week night. Therefore based on your work schedule you can’t really mix up your classes. It would be nice if Yoga Fusion/​C2 switched slots sometimes or they offered a 6:30 class time.

2.5 stars. I’m on the fence. I signed up for the free week of classes which was a great way to check out the studio. I first tried the corepower yoga 1 class. It wasn’t for me. I don’t like «flow» and the instructor was eh. I then tried the hot power fusion. It was way more my style. Little to no flow, you hold poses for a deep stretch and the class follows a routine. I spoke with the instructor at the end and based on my interests she thought HPF was what I’d like best.
My issues… The price is outrageous. A drop in class is $ 23!!! At my previous studio a drop in was $ 16 and the class was 90 min, plus there was always an assistant available to help with adjustments. Also, there is no equipment involved! I bring my own mat and yogi toes. Where is the $ 23 going?!?
The quality of the instructors varies. I have definitely had personality preferences with instructors at previous studios, but I’ve always thought they’ve known their stuff. Here it feels a bit different, maybe they are nervous or newbies?
I like my yoga studio to feel like a sanctuary, a place to connect to me, peaceful. The music doesn’t do it for me, at least the loud music with words. I had one instructor that played popular tunes in classical music versions which was a great middle ground option. But I’m not big on loud music especially at the end of class when I’m trying to rest.
Still undecided.

This is a great place to do yoga! The staff and teachers are all extremely nice and friendly. The facility is clean and offers fully stocked showers with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so you can get a workout in the morning before work, during lunch time break or in the evenings. I really like Kristina’s C2 classes and obviously others do as well since its completely packed on Saturdays! Even when the class seems full, the staff and yogi students are nice and willing to reshuffle to make room for an extra mat. These yoga classes really work your entire body and especially your core for those nice flat abs!
I highly recommend!

Great studio and even better classes! I’ve done the hot power yoga with weights and the class kicks my butt every time. The teachers are motivating and so into it! It really makes the workout enjoyable. The studio itself is great, there is great parking and they have a nice locker room and shower area. Staff is super helpful and friendly, great place to practice yoga :)

It’s always nice to try something new be awful at it and still not be embarrassed.
That’s how I felt coming to CorePower. I’m not a yogi by any means and I’ve only tried it once a few years ago. I came to the beginner’s class (in the middle of the snowstorm) and enjoyed the challenge and boy was it challenging. Desiree worked our abs, legs, arms, souls, minds, etc. I also liked that she addressed us by name.
It seemed as though I was the only novice there, but she took the time to show me alternative moves to certain poses because I am not the slightest bit flexible. I really enjoyed the challenge and can’t wait to go back and make it part of my routine.
Other notes:
–One free week pass that can be used at any studio.
–Very clean bathrooms/​locker room.
–Plenty of parking.
–They provide locks, but you can bring your own.

I’ve gone to this studio for a year now and overall I really enjoy it. As others have shared, the physical space is beautiful and clean, the layout is nice, with locker rooms to take a shower and leave your bag during class, and parking is never a problem. Classes are offered throughout the day and vary in style and intensity to meet the needs of most students.
The quality of the teachers varies, somewhat substantially. My favorites are Kristina, JJ, and Michael, but there are many other good ones as well. Some of the variation I’m sure is personal preference. For instance, I love assists that help me go deeper into a pose, but not that are constantly correcting me. There is one teacher in particular who never smiles and frequently corrects everyones poses. I’m not saying my poses are always perfect but I am a certified yoga instructor and if I am doing any modifications, it’s intentional. The good thing is that there are enough class times that you can usually just go to the classes that you prefer.
There is a great place for shoes when you walk in. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t use it and I wish the studio did a better job at asking people to leave their shoes there. Now that it is winter, people are tracking in salt and grime all the way into the locker rooms, so if you actually do take off your shoes, the floors aren’t clean.
I would also love to see the use of toxin/​chemical-​free cleaners and personal products. I’m chemical sensitive so I can’t use the soaps, shampoo, conditioners etc. and I often get a headache and nauseous from the cleaning supplies both in the locker rooms and studios. I think the use of clean products would be an especially good fit for a yoga studio.

I have been doing Yoga For Trade at Corepower Yoga Medford for a year now and ADORE this place! I am here literally everyday doing yoga, chatting with new friends, or doing my yoga for trade shift. Yoga For Trade is their awesome program that lets you earn a FREE UNLIMITED membership by doing one 3 hour cleaning shift per week. Amazing right? I don’t mind giving up 3 hours considering how much I practice yoga here. The cool part is too that you can go to ANY Corepower studio with this membership! There have studios all over the country.
My favorite classes are C2 and Sculpt, but I also love hot power fusion when I want some real heat at a slower pace. Sculpt is an AMAZING workout, I love that it combines cardio, yoga, weights, and stretching all in one heated hour of great music and energy. I recommend Corepower for anyone looking to heat up their fitness routine, chill out after a stressful holiday season, or change up their yoga practice. Each class and teacher is different, and that’s a great thing!

I can’t get enough of this place. The people are
awesome and the classes are addictive. I love the Sculpt classes for a really hard amazing weight and cardio workout. I, also, love the C2 classes as a change of pace! When my shoulders can’t take another chaturanga I love the Hot Power Fusion classes.
The facilities are very clean!! The yoga and locker rooms are very clean and there are enough showers to rinse off after an hour of sweating. They, also, have a good selection of great yoga cloths.
Core Power has changed my body and my mindset about working out. I have never had a workout help me feel physically or mentally better.

The facility was extremely clean and accommodating.
I didn’t have a mat or towel so I was offered one free of charge for my first class. I didn’t have a lock… don’t worry just trade in your own keys for a lock and keys. I didn’t have a hair elastic (okay I was pretty unprepared), they had that too!
I took the Yoga Sculpt class and it was really energetic and fun! Michael, the instructor, was extremely upbeat and encouraging — he spoke a bit quickly but always with the beat of the music so that was kind of cool. Also a ridiculously tiring class so I felt pretty good about it after.
Excellent first-​time experience at CorePower Yoga! I’ll definitely be returning :)

I’ve been looking for a place to work out that is close to my apartment (the last thing I need is an excuse to not go…) and I’m really impressed by this studio. I have bounced back and forth between Baptsite and Bikram yoga for the past ten years, either getting bored or hitting a plateau with the set styles and studio schedules.
I am thrilled to note that CorePower Yoga offers a Baptiste-​y vinyasa flow class, a Bikram-​esque class, and an aerobic weight-​lifting yoga class. I don’t think I’ll bounce back and forth as much because now I have these classes offered in just one studio.
Here are the positives:
–There are more times on its schedule than your typical yoga studio, including noon/​1 PM classes.
–Music is incorporated in the classes, which makes me feel like I’m dancing choreographed yoga, which I enjoy.
–The space itself is immaculate and well-​decorated. I’ve never belonged to such a fancy looking studio/​gym in my life. It’s one of those places where they provide spray on deodorant and mouth wash with little plastic cups at the sinks in the locker room.
–There is a parking lot with ample space.
–There are two studios (hence more classes on the schedule).
–The teachers are wonderful– they are kind, approachable, and will be either hands-​on, or hands-​off depending on your preference (they’ll ask).
–They offer a free trial week, which I’m currently utilizing.
–They have discounted rates for teachers and students.
–They have great water fountains!
–Mirrors in the studios
–Class sizes aren’t too high at the Medford studio.
–Classes are only one hour long, which I prefer because I’m more apt to regularly attend classes that won’t make me super dehydrated and lethargic all day.
Aspects that may turn people off:
–Classes/​packages are more expensive compared to other studios if you don’t meet the discount criteria.
–May not be as intense as other studios (heat not as high, classes not as long, poses not held as long), but I’m a firm believer you can make it as difficult as you need it to be (do more difficult variations on certain poses, get heavier weights for the sculpt class, etc.)
My overall recommendation: definitely try out this studio’s free week! I’m planning on purchasing a month pass in September after my vacation!

Love this studio! It has a ton of classes at extremely convenient times that allow me to actually go to yoga at a reasonable hour without having to leave work super early and/​or get home extremely late. The studio is gorgeous, always clean, and the locker rooms are really nice as well. Plus, there’s plenty of parking. Great spot.

What an amazing place, honestly the best yoga studio I’ve been to. I’ve always enjoyed the practice so I decided to give it a try through a referral by a friend.
There are so many class time options, which is great. Plenty of parking, as there is a lot. A lot of places I’ve gone you have to find street parking or just throw in the towel and take the T sometimes, so this was awesome not having to worry about going super early to circle a block to find a spot.
The teachers I’ve taken classes with, are all great. My favorite is Kristina!!!
I love the C2 and the Hot Power Fusion classes.

CorePower Yoga is the best yoga studio I have ever been to! The staff is not only incredibly friendly and insightful, they’re extremely approachable. Upon entering the pristine facility you are always welcomed with a warm smile and someone greeting you. Often I feel as though going into a new studio can be intimidating, however that was not the case at all here! Everyone is so nice and the facility itself is absolutely beautiful! I love the décor and everything is kept in tip top shape. I have been a member for a few weeks now and have been to several different classes and not have I once been disappointed. Each teacher has their own unique styles of teaching that I have come to LOVE! I like the hands on approaches that is offered (you can opt out if desired) — It helps me improve as a yoga student and shows that the staff cares about the safety of my body. CPY has made me a better yoga student due to their encouragement of trying new poses and techniques — which often studios do not do. After being a member elsewhere, I cannot imagine ever going back — CPY is the top of the line. This establishment comes strongly recommended from myself and all of my friends. I would highly encourage everyone to try CPY =)

Went to this place for the first time today after going consistently to one studio (Yoga Power in Waltham) for over a year.
First week is free for newbies which is awesome. The facility was SUPER nice with a small retail area, spacious studios, nice locker rooms with showers and changing areas and plenty of parking.
I went to a C2 class (intermediate) and to me it seemed much more like a beginners class. I got a good sweat in (hot room), but I am definitely used to being more challenged at my other studio, especially in an intermediate class. If I had paid full price ($ 20 a session) I would’ve been disappointed. I’m going back tomorrow morning to the 9am Hot Fusion class and hope that it’ll be more of a challenge! Also plan to attend a couple candlelight classes after work this week.
UPDATE — I’ve now gone to 3 classes (2 hot power fusion and 1 C2, written about above) and I have to say I’m pretty disappointed. The two hot power fusion classes I’ve gone to were with 2 different instructors and they were literally almost word for word the exact same class! Very scripted and corporate feeling.
