CorePower Yoga - Huntington Beach

The management at this location has been disappointing. Minsun was rude and showed little empathy towards students. When I suggested switching studios for Core Power 1 to avoid the noise from the Sculpt class, she essentially told me to find another yoga studio, saying that peace and quiet aren’t priorities here since Sculpt, with its 60 attendees, is the main revenue generator. As someone with a back injury using yoga alongside physical therapy, this was disheartening. I also learned that Core Power 1 is unpopular among many instructors and often gets canceled, which is concerning since it's the only class my body can handle. My interaction with Minsun left me with such a negative impression that I canceled my membership online the same day. For $200 a month, every student should be treated as a valued customer, not just those attending the most profitable classes.

This review is for Irie (not CorePower as a whole) - went on a Monday night when he was subbing and he was incredible - explosive energy and great spirit. I would go back to his class again. I got so sweaty I literally had to wring out my sports bra after the class - he has great form too! Music was fire - 10/10 one of the best fitness instructions I’ve ever had. As for some of the other reviews which denigrate CorePower as an institution- yes, CorePower is not real yoga. They offer intense heated workout classes (weighted cardio, etc) with some yoga poses thrown in. BUT just do your research before signing up for a class! If a more flowy practice-centered approach is your vibe, just go somewhere else! If you want to SWEAT and leave sore, come here! :)

I’m a yoga teacher and this is not yoga. It’s a gym but it’s mainly motivated by taking your money. Some of their yoga instructors have attitudes, there is no community really because so many people leave early and their classes are all the same. Don’t go here. They keep you in a loop, You can’t cancel, they auto-charge you for extra stuff. Their billing and policies are set up in a way that just keeps charging your bank and it is annoying and they will not even try to help you because ehem yoga is luxury!! Again, the attitude is not what you expect from a yoga studio. As a yoga teacher I feel embarrassed that this is what people experience. We are here to instill peace into people’s life. This is solely a business in the name of yoga. You don’t have to fall onto their little business scam or whatever they have going on. Also i don’t teach or wish to teach so I am not saying this to ruin their reputation for my own benefit. I was willing to pay because it was the closest studio to me and I needed the heated yoga class, but their way is just not right. Talking to a friend who owns a studio, he asked where I practiced and I said CP and he laughed while mentioning how he doesn’t even hire CorePower yoga teachers because they are not skilled. If you like them, find real yoga!

I've never been inside this place so I am giving it five stars based solely on the friendly yoga participants I encounter going inside for their yoga workout.

Over a month now with no heat in the main room and sculpt. All calls are fielded by the corp office and they just give you the same line, we are looking it into it. I pay for three memberships. One of the members I pulled away from another studio. So frustrating. All three of us haven’t been able to go to sculpt because it’s not heated. Low heat means everyone else’s body heat. People have jobs cant go whenever so the early classes are what works for us. I can’t cancel my membership but I will suspended all three until you figure out your studios heat. Maybe find another studio. Hate to think your studio is just trying to a buck. You over charge as is so no reason why those heaters haven’t been repaired or REPLACED. People save your money and go to a studio that actually provides the heated classes they advertise. So over this studio.
