Love Melissa’s classes!
Staff and teachers are helpful and welcoming
I really like how challenging the classes are and the temperature in the studio.
Teachers
The community feel
Always a great class and amazing instructors!
It’s such a welcoming space and very clean! There’s no odor in which you would immediately know they host heated classes. The instructors have been great as well
Great studios with talented instructors and friendly staff, plenty of easy parking.
the heat, the instructor (Erin)
Teachers are awsome! River north is great. South loop bathrooms has mold all over!!
I only take strength x classes at Merrifield and do so because the instructors are phenomenal. Stephanie, Mollie and Charles S in particular are wonderful and always come up with varied routines every week. There has been a marked improvement in my strength and I've been increasing my weights, month after month. The only concern I have is that the room gets quite warm and it would be helpful to adjust the temperature in the room to below 90 degrees.
Classes are fantastic and the staff and instructors are amazing!!
It such a well rounded workout in my opinion
Convenient location. Great teachers and challenging exercise. Clean studio.
Karla is awesome!!
Great class! Honestly it was like insanely hard and I love it!
Front staff was amazing!!! Instructor was great.
Rudi, is a phenomenal instructor. He breaths life into practice with vigor, experience and gravitas. There’s an exuberance that radiates from his unique instruction, which sets him apart from other instructors without being overbearing. If I had to describe him in a word, it would be “balance”. There’s also a refreshing positivity that emanated throughout his class..
Great teachers good variety of classes
I love HIGHLAND PARK CP. Every instructor has been super thoughtful in how the program their sets and are all wonderful people. I’m super happy to be part of their community
I’ve so enjoyed the 9:30 sculpt classes this week. The instructor was top notch and so encouraging. The inclusive environment was very refreshing! I’m so glad I’ve come to try it
I liked the fun variety of poses in the class!
I’ve been attending the 6 a.m. Thursday class with Tori for several months now, and I’m honestly disappointed with how stagnant and disengaging it has become. The sequence and music haven’t changed in months—there are no modifications, no surprises, nothing to keep it fresh. At this point, most of us could probably teach it ourselves.
What’s more frustrating is Tori’s lack of energy and engagement. She rarely demos movements, never acknowledges anyone by name, and offers only generic encouragement like “good job.” It feels like she doesn’t want to be there—and honestly, it sets a really negative tone for the rest of the day. That’s not what anyone expects, especially when paying premium prices for these classes.
I know I’m not the only one who feels this way—friends I used to come with have stopped showing up altogether. CorePower, please take this feedback seriously. Thursday mornings at 6 a.m. desperately need a reset. Your loyal students deserve better.
We love Scout!
As a first-time attendee it was an overall great experience! The instructor, Taylor H, provided a fun flow, and the playlist was awesome. I look forward to coming back again!
love everything about my studio. The instructors are top-notch, can't beat them. Hooray for CPY

Very professional, Nice studio, the instructor was very engaging and helpful.
Great workout. I love the mix of cardio, stretching, yoga and weights
Variety and schedule of classes. There are always classes available which is important for my irregular work schedule.
