Student Testimonials
Great instructions and convenient location.
Everything!
A good sized studio and layout- enough room to not feel over crowded.
Facility well maintained- bathrooms clean a majority of the time.
Instructors are knowledgeable and welcoming.
Classes are challenging and diverse offerings- I can usually find a class time/catergory of exercise each day that fits my changing schedule.
I’m in the best physical conditioning of my life!
I haven’t memorized all my usual instructors so I apologize if I forget someone. High quality classes by Lulu! Jonathan! AC! And Michelle! But I honestly haven’t take a class or had an instructor I didn’t like.
This might be dramatic of me- but I highly depend on this studio for my overall physical and mental well-being.
Thank you x a million! Julianne
Rosedale is an amazing studio! Love the teachers! Would love to see a few more weekend/ Sunday sculpt and/ or HPF classes added to the schedule!
just moved to highland park~ so impressed with the studios, the brand new equipment, the multitude of cheerful staff and overall awesome ambience! when can i move in😂
The new instructor from Boston is AMAZING!!!! What a wonderful addition to CorePower Chicago.
Very friendly, clean, and great class. Loved Adriana. I do think that the temp was actually great in the class that day, but the other class I went to was really too hot. I’m concerned about the temp. My daughter goes to Core Power in San Francisco and said the Park Rd. Facility is much, much hotter/ and not in a good way. Just sharing what I know.
Class was challenging but it was too crowded and too hot
Instructors and staff know us by name, and greet us when we check in! The community of yogis is strong, with people working on their own goals of strength, poses, and letting go. Each class I learn more about yoga, about being in my body, and am encouraged (but never pressured) to try new poses and cultivate balance. CPY is my happy place!
Great instructor
It was great! Perfect workout for our girls weekend.
Jeanne was an awesome instructor. I loved the class and have already recommended it to a couple of friends. I’ll be back!
The consistency of the classes and the awesome teachers!
Great instructors, great music, and great sequences!
Patty was great!
Emma was a great teacher!
I loved my instructor Kimia. She was very welcoming to me as a first-timer, had clear cues to the exercises during the class, and a really fun playlist.
Certain teachers are so talented
Staff and classes are wonderful!
It took me a while to get used to the heat and sweat but now I’m addicted. I specifically see out classes with Joel, Karli and Karin. I bring Buddies and spread the word. I just love my community here at Monarch CP and the remodel is on point!
The teachers are all great and focus on creating a good community.
I am always recommending CPY to friends & acquaintances. Two of my closest husband & wife friends live in the apartments directly above the Glenview studio, so I am hitting them hard to try yoga for free for a week.
I particularly like the Glenview studio for a couple of reasons. While I rate CPY studios highly, instructors I rate less highly, with the exception of several of the instructors which lead practices at the Glenview studio.
Not all, but several instructors at the Glenview studio I enjoy for commitment to their yoga instruction craft, pace of cues, & tone of voice. I couldn't care less about music, as I rarely hear it when I practice.
Great teachers and staff. Welcoming and supportive. Large variety of classes and teachers. Love it!!
Very friendly
Excellent teachers.
Instructors energy, fun music, great full body workout
Great facility and excellent teacher, Widya👍
Amazing instructor. Beret was outstanding, high energy, precise in her form and instruction, and shared encouraging words and made the hard work FUN work!
The teachers are better. More professional with smoother and more mindful (SAFER) transitions during class. They are also kinder, more personal, and sincere. They actually care a lot about their students. Their passion comes through in their kindness and caring. I enjoy that they try hard to build a personal relationship with all of their students, knowing them by name and learning about them, their hot yoga background, their lives, etc. It makes me feel more "connected" and part of a community. They are always positive, happy, and joyful. I appreciate the hands-on assisting during class, it makes me feel like I'm getting personalized attention/critique to improve my practice, go deeper, or simply just to help make it more enjoyable so that there's less pain. I also appreciate the pictures & bio of themselves on the app, so that I feel like I know a little about the teacher before signing up.
Two things I miss:
1. Jai Fives on the app: Why did they ever take them away?? They made me feel so accomplished, like I could conquer anything. It was a great reminder on how far I've come in my journey of hot yoga.
2. Annual studio competitions for a month. Having the grid-board on the wall with the Star Stickers for each class I've taken for the month, the challenge to see who can attend the most classes for a month.
Something I wish CorePower started doing:
1. Monthly towel subscription: $20/month for one towel per class (unlimited) for the month. If I take 30 classes in a month, I don't want to be charged each time I take a towel, just charge me for a monthly subscription would be nice.
2. Monthly studio (special) events. Outside of class, but inside the studio, have a party where you can get to know other students. Free wine and snacks, or just a small goody bag, or something, just to inventive people to come and connect.
Manager great, positive environment
