CorePower Yoga - Fremont

Best corepower I’ve ever been to! Very clean and spacious, beyond welcoming staff. Leah Z was a great instructor. Will 100% be back to this location!

I've been a Core Power member for years, and started going to the Fremont studio since it's a short walk from my new office. Vira has rapidly become my favourite instructor of all time. She brings so much energy and positivity to the class, you can't help but smile and challenge yourself to push just a bit further. The studio itself is nice, modern, and clean, but Vira is the star.

one of the few studios I have visited that adds humidity to its heated rooms, and introduce free weights to some of its yoga classes. very avant garde, yet grounded by the company it keeps and the community it has built. i'm in!!!

I recently moved to the area about two weeks ago and have been actively looking for a new yoga studio that offers a variety of class types and time slots. A friend recommended CorePower Yoga, and the trial week of unlimited classes initially drew me in, as it felt like a great opportunity to experience the studio. As a yoga teacher myself, I was genuinely interested in finding a long-term studio home where I could practice and potentially teach. I was also considering enrolling in their Yoga Sculpt training in January at another location. The trial week felt like an ideal way to experience the classes, meet the team, and get a sense of the overall culture. I took several CorePower 2 classes, which are listed online as high heat and mid-to-high intensity. Unfortunately, that description didn’t match the experience. The room was often more cold than warm, and the classes themselves were just okay and didn’t stand out. I also took a few Yoga Sculpt classes, and a couple of them truly hit home. Those classes were exactly what I was looking for—great teachers, high energy, high heat, strong playlists, and clear, confident cueing. These experiences made me seriously consider joining, especially knowing that after the trial week they offer an introductory month for $119, followed by a regular monthly membership of $229. However, during my trial week, between five and six classes I had booked were canceled. At first, I gave the benefit of the doubt—people get sick, it’s the holiday season, things happen. But as the cancellations continued, it became concerning. As someone who prefers early morning classes, paying $119–$229 per month while regularly having scheduled classes canceled feels unacceptable at that price point. I come from a corporate leadership background with experience opening and operating high-end, member-facing businesses, and I strongly believe that member experience is everything—especially for a company that relies heavily on monthly memberships, class packages, and teacher trainings. On December 19, 2025, I arrived for the 7:30am Yoga Sculpt class that I had booked in advance. At the front desk, I was stopped by two staff members and told my trial appeared to have expired. While that may have been the case, I was still able to book the class online without issue, and when I attempted to book a class for the following day (December 20, 2025) the system prompted me about the $119 introductory membership, so I assumed the trial ended that day. Technology issues happen, and I understand that. What was surprising was the response. Instead of acknowledging the situation and offering a solution—especially since I was already signed up, booked, and physically there—the response was essentially a shrug and a “sorry,” with no effort to accommodate me or explain next steps. This was particularly disappointing given that I had expressed I was new to the area and actively looking for a yoga home. I also asked whether frequent class cancellations were common at this location. The staff seemed caught off guard and didn’t have a clear answer. When I asked about trainings and whether they would recommend them, there was again very little insight or engagement. Both staff members lacked basic brand awareness and customer service skills related to membership growth and retention. Had the situation gone differently, I would have signed up for a membership today and likely remained a long-term member. Instead, the repeated cancellations and front desk interaction left a poor impression. While there were some strong classes, the inconsistencies and lack of customer service outweighed the positives.This feels like a clear growth opportunity for the management team at this location.

I’ve been a corepower yoga client since 2008. Needless to say to part ways with a studio you have been a client for 17 years is hard. But they have changed their policy on when they close the door and I have lost countless class credits and time due to their policy change. Sometimes the uber driver keeps driving the wrong direction. Sometimes we all encounter a roadblock, or work situation. They used to have a 5 min grace period which was very helpful. Now I have to say enough is enough. After being rejected 3 times in a day and having to call and wait on the line for 20 minutes each time, I would never recommend this company to anyone. It is with great disappointment and sadness, I will have to part ways with this studio.
