Student Testimonials

Larie Solberg is the BEST teacher ever. I have been coming to CPY for Laurie for years and multiple locations.

Instructors are great! I like the variety of classes.

Really hoping for a great Carmilla replacement on Tuesday morning at 6! Logan has been a killer replacement for Monday 6a.

The benches in the locker room are horrible. I can’t recall if they are the same as before refresh but they’re so unstable.

Lockers and bathrooms are not sufficiently clean. They need to be attended more often.

It would be great to have the weights moved to outside of the Studio 1 doors. I would also like to suggest Corepower consider adding open studio time to be booked. If there are times without classes where people could book a half hour or hour to use a heated studio for stretching, their own workout, etc. that would a huge value-add, especially in the winter.

I like the variety of classes and trainers who make my commitment to wellness successful. I am currently experiencing a reaction to a strong fragrance on a yogis, the trainers were understanding and proactive in mentioning no strong fragrances in class. I really appreciate there understanding of something that seems to be affecting me only.

CorePower has been amazing! My sister ended up joining after one class with me. We love Carmilla and Emma at West Loop and Darcie and Micah at Bucktown!

I think it's pretty clean.

Love the instructores and the app

Erin is the best, she makes everyone feel welcome and she's a wonderful instructor.

great fitness class!

The staff was very friendly, polite and pleasant to me as this was my first visit to CPY in Chicago. This is one of the many compliments I can give to this organization. Your staff and other personnel are very cordial and this is what makes people come back again and again to CPY.
Thank you!

the class was very very good.

I like that it offers a lot of classes and schedules, and has 3 spacious studios. The C2 instructors are delightful.

Lots of selection to classes largely strong teachers. I do have one issue with Gina I’d like to raise though not publicly. I am mid 50s good shape take lots of classes including carmilla who I think we can all agree is a cold stone killer and yes I’m often the oldest person in the room or certainly one of them. Gina came up to me in the Saturday am class and asked rather loudly “are you ok?” The kid half my age next to me used smaller weights, could barely get through the squats and had to take a break and walk out of class — no loud “are you ok” for him or many others who were clearly struggling. Just a teaching moment maybe for her about judging students by their abilities/presentation and not their numerical age.

The staff is amazing! I love the instructors especially JC and Carmilla. They both made me feel very comfortable in class. Helped me modify when I need to and they make me feel like I am capable of growing in my practice. When I walk in, I feel like a friend and I am eternally grateful for the space a huge shout out to Carmilla who is kind to everyone, but also pushes us to be greater.

I love the community at West Loop!

I love Carmeila's class. She is a beast. She is also a motivator, and she doesn't allow excuses, which I absolutely love. I LOVE HER CLASSES!!

Love Erin’s 75 minute class

I love Corepower

Love it!

I really enjoyed my experience and the challenge of the class by Carmella. She was amazing, great music, great flow of class, great instructor. I cannot wait until my next class. You will definitely have an amazing glow after (sweat)! 🫶🏽

The new floors in the studio are awesome, love the upgrade from carpet. However, the weight rack placement is not ideal and makes for frustrating transitions. I understand the need to create more space in the studio, but maybe putting them directly outside the studio doors and relocating the retail products makes more sense. It's especially disruptive when people need to leave class before savasana and make multiple trips in and out to put weights away.

Class options and locations

Anna, my instructor, greeted me on arrival. Was incredibly welcoming and showed me the facility and made sure I was comfortable. She also took the time to talk to me after class and tell me more about the various classes.

I loved the class and environment but Anna made all the difference with her welcoming demeanor.

Carmilla

Gret customer service and I love how challenging the workouts are. I especially love the energy in Carmilla's class. I also love how the instructors correct your form.

This is my favorite studio by far in Chicago!
I love the teachers at WL especially Carmilla!
I wish u had more 45 min 7:15 classes (you used to and they were always super busy so I imagine others miss it too).
The weights on the outside of the studio rooms are very inconvenient though….. especially after class needing to put them away and taking longer to exit the studio and causing traffic jams.

I appreciate the variety and quality of teachers epecially Carmilla who really levels us all up
