I've given CorePower a try many times since before the pandemic and I don't like it. I even bought…read morea 10-class pack 6 years ago and I haven't finished using it. Last week I was locked out of the studio because I arrived 3 min late. I think this is really rude and it goes against the yoga philosophy. I understand that respect for others is important, but life sometimes gets in the way and people cannot get there on time-- they just enter the class quietly and that's ok. I had already rearranged my whole schedule to go to that class. Not everybody has complete flexibility. But oh well... I've practiced yoga for over 15 years in other cities and I had never felt these bad vibes. Teachers here are nice and I've enjoyed some classes, but unfortunately heated classes are not my thing. If you are not looking for franchise yoga, I would recommend going to other nice places around town.

The good instructors are very good (looking at you, Natalie!), and the not so great ones just have a lot to learn. Decent variety of classes, mainly vinyasa flow classes. However, for such a small space with 3 classes a day offered MAX, no classes on the weekend, and a couple of inexperienced instructors... $100/mo for an unlimited membership is quite steep! I've paid $65/mo at other small private studios with more experienced instructors that offer about 8 classes per day! Just food for thought.

The training is cozy and intimate, you get a lot of personalized attention, and there is a super supportive vibe. They serve really yummy, healthy snacks & tea too which I loved- I am a total foodie- I even learned how to make some of these recipes from the owner Sue Anne. Both Sue Anne and her husband Jim have mentored and guided me ever since. They helped me get teaching positions literally as soon as I graduated the training. I would highly recommend their training and coming to classes at their studio!

HORRIBLE!!!!! Worst service ever!!!!! Ditched on the street…read morebefore the lesson ever started! Totally not recommended! The bitch named Lindsey ask for a$50 credit card payment prior to the lesson. The guy she told me will give me the lesson was filthy with a broken filthy board, and when I asked about the suit the Lindsey supposedly told him to get (after she took my size over the phone) was not a women's suit and not my size! He asked me to get into the water without it but I refused and when hopelessly I tried to squeeze myself in a suit that is 3 sizes smaller, it got stuck half way through! I was furious! And I told him that this is not the service I expected for $100. I told him I want to cancel the class, then he got so mad at me and he literally ditch me in the street in a location I'm not familiar with since I'm just a tourist. Tried to call Lindsey a thousand times and she stopped replying. I ended up canceling my credit card and taking the action through my back. DO NOT TRUST these people , The worst service on planet earth!!!! Soooooooooooooo disappointed! I bet they either paid those who wrote good reviews or just made up accounts to write reviews themselves like this very last one "Julie D" posted how good Lindsey is hours ago :( so pathetic....,

Keep in mind that this is a small one-studio business and NOT a gym. There are (I am assuming quite deliberately) NO mirrors. The interior is very plain...no distractions. The music selection is great and rotated regularly. Rachel is a great dancer and is always smiling. The 9am class is primarily an older group and very welcoming to all ages and body types. The cost of classes is a bit more than a gym membership, but Rachel has a great new client special to try it out before committing.

I have tried three other martial arts studios in the SB area and none of them were able to keep him motivated and pumped up to go back each week, even adding classes and trying new classes! My son was never really into achieving his belts, and now he is aiming for his yellow black! He loves it, practices around the house, and even participated in a recital to show his "moves!" Dragon is an amazing teacher for young children and while he teaches them moves, he lets them have fun, laugh, and giggle! He himself is amazing at Kung Fu and an inspiration to these young kids, making them want to come back and try even harder! Vickie, is just sweet beyond words! She is an amazing dancer, and a wonderful person! I am so glad I stumbled upon Sino West because it has just lifted my son to a whole new level and his self esteem has just soared! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The closet dancer inside me was thrilled to get a little taste of the various classes they offer: salsa, zumba, and tai chi. They also offer yoga, ballet, jazz, Chinese dance, kung fu, and even hoops (hula hoops, not basketball)!! The instructors are amazing dancers themselves and were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They were down to earth and made me feel comfortable enough to free the closet dancer. Sino West has an entire separate suite next door dedicated to their kung fu classes. I'm excited about this new studio! Prices are reasonable, and they offer a wide variety of classes for all ages.

The only flaws I can think of concern air flow and A/C, and sound. The east-facing windows are not insulated, and they draw in a LOT of solar energy. At the same time, the stationary bikes and stairclimbers are right in this area, and there are no fans or air conditioning over this type of aerobic equipment. The chosen audio is loud and ghastly in the main equipment room. It's some combo of hip hop and ancient, shrieking, industrial rock. No one listens to it, but it is annoying.
