Just like the Groupon that I lost track of the deadline to, I am slow to act as this review is long overdue. But I need to change my previous review in all fairness. After I had moaned and groaned on Yelp I was contacted by the CPY people and was offered a way out of my predicament. I was able to use my $75 for a month deal but I just had to sign up for a month and pay some extra cash (the exact amount escapes me cuz it was so long ago, but it wasn't too much and was fair since it was my fault for losing track of the deadline date-maybe $10)? Basically I had to sign up for a particular membership and just cancel it after one month to get my deal and pay a little over $75. Anywho, I went for a month to the Ward location, to as many classes as I could, and enjoyed it a lot, maybe 2 or 3 times a week. I especially like the instructor Christina. She was the one I first took a class with and so I felt a sense of comfort attending her beginning classes after that. I maybe tried 2 or 3 other instructors but I really enjoyed Christina's class the best. I dug her positive energy and methods, and got a lot out of each class she taught. I always felt challenged during, and afterwards I felt rejuvenated and full of energy. I could tell the class was really making a difference to my attitude, physicality, and especially my outlook on things. Unfortunately all good things come to an end and my month membership expired. Like they said, I just had to cancel before the month was up and sure enough I basically got what I paid for from Groupon, which was an excellent deal. At my last class with Christina, I was finally able to do the crow pose (as best as I could make it look) after a month of trying and struggling, and I felt truly accomplished making her proud of my feat. She had even noticed how I had been improving throughout the weeks and let me know, which I appreciated. I think yoga is pretty cool and helpful to my overall health and well being, not to mention I enjoyed the convenience of the location at the Ward studio and the quality of the facilities. Reason for the 4 stars is only because I'm bitter I can't be a member of the elite. Orz It's a shame I can't afford the classes at CPY. ...but it sure was nice to see how the other half lives. read more

Stephanie P, Christina, Erin, Sommer and Ashley all amazing amazing instructors! Great experience so far. After the free week, I purchased the 1 month unlimited through Groupon, and have been going frequently, I always leave class floating on a cloud. This location is great with positive vibes, as mentioned on my first review. read more

There's so much I don't like about core power yoga it's like fake yoga on shrooms with a group of annoying people everywhere. Just not my thing. Rooms are small and stink. Over priced and overrated. Amenities aren't impressive. 1 star for live music occasionally........ read more

CorePower is great for beginners, pros, basically everyone! I start coming her since 2017 as a beginner and have been going consistently ever since. I've only done yoga a hand full of times before at 24 hour fitness but never at a professional dedicated yoga studio like this and let me tell you, it's a HUGE difference. I usually go to 7am or 9am sculpt class because it wakes me up and puts me in a good mood for the rest of my day. Class can fill up quickly so I recommend going early to save yourself a spot. Oh and it's important to note that they lock the doors once class starts. I personally appreciate that because it keeps the focus on class instead of being distracted by people going in and out of the studio. The only complaint I have is that they have canceled classes on serval occasions. I'm a blacktag member (unlimited yoga monthly) which cost big bucks so it can be hard to get my money's worth when there's canceled classes. But they will always update the schedule online or on the app if there is a change or cancellation which is helpful. read more

Worst Core Power Yoga ever!! Front desk girl was beyond rude. Where's the aloha spirit? Won't be coming back here ever again

I'm totally a fan of Core Power now. I've been an avid bikram yogi for the past two years and I just moved to Hawaii from SF. There aren't that many bikram studios here, so I had to find alternative yoga studios. It wasn't until I tried Vinyasa yoga at another studio that I realized I have no upper strength. Yes, I've developed strength in my spine and I'm flexible, but I can't even do a proper push-up without breaking a sweat. The struggle with regular Vinyasa was that it kept putting me to sleep, the pace was too slow for me and there was no heat. A friend of mine in Irvine, recommended I try out Core Power (surprisingly, we don't have a CorePower in the city of SF). So I gave it a try using the free pass for a week and I loved it. It was a combo of Vinyasa and bikram with the added heat. Cardio and flexibility is my thing. I've also always wondered during bikram, 'someone should play music, we always do the same 26 poses..." And guess what?! Core Power plays music! read more

Best decision I made so far was signing up for Core Power Yoga! I love classes and scheduling, have not tried the hot yoga but am looking forward to it. Instructors and people are very nice and it's always clean. I really like the location since its near where I live and work. Since attending Core Power Yoga I have been bringing home lunch to work to be healthier and it's helping so much. read more

Very clean and friendly studio. I went 3 days in a row while on vacation and loved it. All three teachers lead fun and challenging classes. The locker rooms have showers which is great since most classes are heated, you'll sweat a lot! Towels and mats can be rented and water bottles can be purchased. read more

Visiting the island from OC SoCal and staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.. I decided to run to and from Core Power which I'm glad I did. I was impressed with the studio and teacher (Lia) who taught Core 3. Studio was nice and clean as just like the studio I normally go to in Brea , CA. Lia was very welcoming and did an awesome job in class. Her music was upbeat and complimented the class. I definitely want to come back! read more

CorePower Yoga - Ward - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

As good as the sculpt workout here is and how much I enjoy the classes and the teachers, the entire reason for my review is to give a ginormous shout out and applause to the teachers and managers here who are some of the most genuine, kind-hearted and supportive people I've ever met. I just joined core power about 2 weeks ago (if that) after doing a free trial week. I had a few conversations with the teachers at the front desk and built enough of a relationship to recognize them and say hi when I came in for class. I was hit by a car last week and have been unable to walk since, and I called in to cancel my membership a few days ago. Not only were they super sweet and empathetic over the phone, but even several of the team members have gone out of their way to bring my lunch, coffee, and breakfast and see if I need anything. I am blown away that people who just a few weeks ago were strangers to me have wrapped their arms around me during this phase of my life. This being said, If you're looking for a COMMUNITY of people - seriously amazing people - I recommend joining this studio. Knowing how to run a business and teach a class is the very minimum to being successful. The team at Core Power went far beyond showing a smile at the front desk for good business - they genuinely cared about me enough to comfort and support me OUTSIDE the studio and the paycheck and for THAT I am so so thankful. Thank you thank you thank you to Core Power and specifically Ashley, Kendra, Jas, and Erin. Really amazed by all of you. Going to throw in a shout out to Chris, too, because gosh I just love him. read more

I like the studio...I like the C2 classes and the teachers (some better than others)...HOWEVER I do NOT like that they randomly and without warning raised all the prices on all the class packages by $25!!! Now an intro month is $109 and regular black tag membership is $189...10 class packs are a whopping $250!!! They should re-name this place "Yoga for Rich People". The sad part is I doubt they are actually paying the teachers any more, just the greedy corporate staff gouging their customers. Will be taking my business to place I can actually afford. (Yes they have discounts for students military HMSA members...still doesn't make up for the insane prices IMO). It's not like this is the only yoga place in town. read more

I love he sculpt class. Heather is my favorite because she reminds me of chalene Johnson but every instructor and staff member is super awesome. Whitney's class is awesome too. My abs always burn!!!! I started with my free week and then bought a groupon. I saw results in my body in the first 2 weeks. The regular membership is pretty pricey but I think I'll throw down just because I enjoy me time and coming to the ward facility. read more

I tried out CorePower with their first-week-free deal. I loved it. All of their classes are hot yoga, and they offer varying levels. I can tell i am growing stronger and my yoga is improving. Sometimes classes can get a little full, but other than that this is a great establishment. I ended up buying a black tag membership which is $118 your first month. Kind of pricey, but so worth it. read more

WOW!! What a great day to start my birthday One of my favorite things to do YOGA!! Whitney was great. Awesome cues. Awesome music playlist. Loved her C2 class it's like the powerflow class I take on the mainland Namaste' read more

I've been a black tag member at the Ward location for 4-months and I have been practicing yoga for 10+ years. The Ward location is much bigger (it has two studios) than the other two (Kahala and Kailua). I consider it their flagship store (although it's not their first location). If you are looking for an intense work-out CPY is for you--lots of physicality but hardly any adjustments so if you are new to yoga, I'd suggest you go to a yoga studio that'll spend more time on postures and the pace isn't so fast or rigorous. In fact, it's a bit misleading and annoying that each teacher articulates the script, "if you don't want me to adjust you, please raise your hand so I can honor your request", and then no-to-hardly any adjustments are made throughout class. Parking can be difficult, depending on the day. The more time I spent at the ward location, I noticed how unhygienic the place can be, despite it's ultra-chic decor--lint/dust on ceilings, sweat and gunk on mirrors consistently, the carpet often feels damp, hair in sink, dumbbells worn-out. I think a quick, haphazard job is done to clean the studios between classes. I wish they could air-out the rooms more, too. I appreciate the many classes are offered within the day. It's awesome and a big selling point with my schedule. The quality of teachers vary but overall, they are all good. I've been having pain in my left wrist (I attribute it to so many flexions--I think the teachers feel a need to outdo each other with the physicality and high level of workout, especially sculpt classes) so I am taking break. CPY is equivalent to the type of workout and experience one would get in a kick-boxing class so if you crave an all-body, sweat-inducing, high intensity work-out, this is for you. read more

My life has absolutely changed since I've discovered Corepower Yoga. I originally found this studio from a friend who had seen that they offer a free week trial of unlimited classes! After just one week, I am now addicted. At the time, being a first timer I had no idea what to expect. I tried out the C1/C2 classes which are nice, but the Sculpt classes are what I fell in love with. Never have I ever been so passionate about a workout in my life. Yoga sculp is yoga with a twist. It's fast paced with a mix of cardio, weight training and core strengthening. It is AMAZING and LIFE CHANGING. After trying out CPY, I did try to explore my options with other yoga studios. But let me tell you, NO WHERE ELSE can compare. ***Just a tip, classes do get very crowded especially during after work hours. It is recommended to show up at least 30 min. early to guarantee yourself a good spot in the class :) read more

I am an avid yogini, and practice at all 3 CorePower locations on the island, so I will review all 3 separately :) Regarding CorePower in general, the place is wonderful. There are classes for all levels, offered at various times throughout the day. The instructors have always been helpful and welcoming. All three locations are clean and convenient. The Ward location is the largest of the three locations, with two class studios, but it is also the most crowded. Luckily, there is free parking attached to the studio, but depending on the time of day, it can be difficult to find a spot. The attached shopping center has opened recently which is lovely, but it shares the parking. It can also be difficult to find a spot in yoga classes. Some of them are very full. I've been in classes where the mats are almost touching each other. I understand it's great for the energy, but I often find myself concentrating more on whether I'm going to hit the person next to me than on the class itself. In some classes, especially the sculpt classes, other people's sweat makes it onto my mat. Not cool. Of course, this is strictly my issue, so I would still give this place five stars. The reason I took off one star is for the locker room/changing area. It is TINY! The changing area itself is approximately 5-ft by 5-ft, barely enough space for two people to change, much less 40 people. And since there are two yoga studios, there are two classes letting out close to the same time. So if it's between classes (or before/after a sculpt class), forget it. I'm literally bumping into other people's sweaty naked bodies. There are also only 4 showers, so sometimes people are waiting for 15 minutes to get into one. I've noticed that people are leaving immediately after class instead of dealing with the changing area/showers, but that isn't an option for me. I do understand that space is extremely limited in Hawaii, so there's not much they can do, but it still takes off a star for me. Otherwise, I love this place. read more

Great place and instructors! Clean, smells good, cozy. I only wish it was closer to my house :(

Great class. Nice people! If you are visiting from the mainland sign up for their free week online. Then take classes back home. I showed up 2 minutes late and they let me sneak in the room. It was my first time here so I got a little lost and stuck in traffic. When I told the manager I probably parked illegally she moved my car to the parking garage while I did class and brought my phone in and charged it for Me. What a doll! The best yoga experience I've her had! read more

I would give this place 5 stars if their prices weren't so high. And they keep going up yearly. It's difficult to feel peaceful when you're paying almost $25 per class. Yes you can buy an unlimited package to save a little money per class, but it's not feasible for a working person to make it to class more than a few times a week. Having said that, the instructors are well trained and for the most part quite experienced. Classes go all day long so that's very convenient. I prefer the yoga classes without weights, but the strength classes are quite popular. A few irritating things: having a person half your age trying to be a yoga sage, people in class distractingly doing their own thing. Other than that, the staff is welcoming and friendly and classes are appropriately yogic with good sequencing. read more

I bought a groupon, and they also include your free week with it so that was really nice! I've heard great things so couldn't wait to check it out. I looked at their schedule and decided to go to their C1 class. I've done yoga before, but it has been a while since I've practice it regularly. So I thought to start slow. Well I worked up a sweat in this class. They heat the room, but not as hot as their more advanced classes, just enough, like a warm day in Hawaii. They start off this class slow, which is how I expected. I gives you a chance to get deeper in your stretch and warm up the body. They speed up through the class, and now you've got your sweat on! I enjoyed this class, and instructor. I also went to their sculpt class which is different from any other yoga I've done. It's more like an yoga and aerobics had a baby. It's with weights body pumping music, and high intensity. They encourage you along, and clap. It was strange just because it was new, and not something I expected. However, I did find that I enjoyed it. Maybe not the best for when I need a release, but good for a workout. The whole ambiance was great. Right when you walk through the door they have someone to greet you. The staff is very nice and helpful. They have a small private studio if you want to work on some moves by yourself, and the studios are nice and clean. The bathrooms are fully equipped with lockers, showers with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Again, all new and clean! If you forget anything they got it for you, they have mat, and towel rentals. They also sell yoga clothes, yoga mats and towels, and bottled water. They have those cool water fountains that pour into your bottle from the top! Overall, what a great facility and experience. There is lots of parking in Ward where nordstom rack and TJ Maxx is. The groupon made it very affordable for the first month, but I don't know if I can afford them full price. However, I've been telling myself I've been needing yoga in my life again! read more

Great energy and vibes here, classes and instructors are very passionate and super motivating!

So I gave the free week a try but it just wasn't enough had to join with the black tag membership .. I very new to yoga but since Pam introduces me to yoga I'm hooked . The new location at ward is perfect for me it's walking distance from my job , that's important to me . But I have been to class almost everyday and has different instructors they are all awesome very inspiring and I just love the aura they all have.. Yoga has fought me to calm my mind and let it go just breathe... read more

I am so thankful for this location, multiple class options and the great instructors. I love having heated classes. I love the range of different classes. I also love the clothing options for purchase. It's just a great studio. read more

I love this place. Classes are pretty pricey, but the student discount is nice. So whenever I have the extra funds, I do like to pop in and get my sweat on. Unfortunately, more than once I've been told I owe for classes which is just not possible. I pay for all my classes in CASH. Makes me wonder.. read more

I never thought I would use the words hip hop and yoga in the same sentence, but here it is. This place is LOUD, LOUD, LOUD. The classes here have more in common with zumba than yoga. That said, the instructors were all very nice and you do get an excellent workout. read more

This is my favorite part of my day. The instructors are so positive and enthusiastic. The stress of the day disappears when give yourself one hour without your phone. The music is great, the people are friendly, and you're all there for the same reason.... to challenge yourself, to better yourself and to feel healthier. No judgement, no criticism. read more

This studio is in a great and convenient location for me. There is ample parking available to members-- which is also shared with shopping center patrons. The classes are diverse and energizing, and forgiving to all levels of practice. The instructor of the class you are attending will usually be the one to check you in, allowing her/him to greet every student and, therefore, attain a level of comfort and camaraderie. At the beginning of the class, the students are given the opportunity to request their desire for her/his personal space to be respected (i.e., if you don't want your yogi to physically adjust your position, they won't). Throughout the course of the hour, the instructor will offer position options for students from novice to principal, allowing each student to feel accepted and comfortable in the class regardless of skill. I've been to so many fitness classes in which the instructor only caters to the students who've attended classes before, making new comers feel incompetent and unwelcome . I, also, really appreciate that at the end of each class, the instructor will encourage and welcome both constructive criticism as well as praise-- although, I have yet to attend a class that warrants any sort of criticism. The amount of which CorePower Yoga cares about their members is made very apparent with the steps they take. For example, in the ladies' locker rooms, there extra amenities available that I have never seen in any other exercise facility, such as, tampons, hair ties, cotton swabs and blow dryers. I absolutely love coming here! read more

Let me start by saying that I probably have triple the sweat glands than the average person. The tiniest increment in temperature will send me running to the nearest bathroom for a paper towel so I can pat myself down. So when I learned that most of the classes at CorePower was heated, I hesitated but decided to go with the free week anyway and am so glad that I did! I went to both the Kahala and Ward locations and they are both well-mantained, clean, and have ample parking (very important). I tried both their Yoga Sculpt and C2 classes. The sculpt class, while popular, fun and a good workout, was not my favorite. It is more of a cardio class than yoga. Imagine doing crunches and squats to the serenades of Britney and Beyonce. The C2 classes, however, were more aligned with my previous Vinyasa practice. The instructors are usually good. There was one class in Kahala on a Friday that even has live music! I was in pure bliss, doing my flow to soothing singing and acoustic guitar. The instructor even had a special treat of placing a small cold lavender towel on our heads at the end of class. It was magical. The only downside and the reason for one minus star is that it is expensive. I would hope that, at that price, they could at least include towel or yoga mat service, each which cost a small fee per use. Even with the price, I am contemplating getting some packages because it really is the best yoga studio in town. read more

Crazy hard to find. 30 minutes to drive 1 mile. Then we find out class was cancelled even though it was on their web schedule! I hate it when they waste your time. Their App has major flaws. I've emailed twice w/o any response. read more

Updating my review to 4 stars since someone from higher up in management (or maybe corporate?) messaged me to apologize for my lost/stolen slippers. I appreciated the apology because it seemed way more sincere than the way the girls (workers) at the studio acted when it actually happened. I do really like this studio but the incident just turns me off. I still attend classes here but I never leave my slippers in the front anymore. read more

So I got a one week free trial pass and decided to purchase a hydro flask from the ward location they swiped my card three times and told me it did not go thru but I was debited three times $140 for a $40 hydro flask and tried to get a refund but they said they can only refund me for the two times they charged me but not the third one and they said that I could not take home the item that they already charged me three times for and refuse to refund me so right now I'm not getting any customer service from them and will try to contact corporate I feel like they should have let me taken the item since I was already debited $140 for a $40 item that I could not take home I hope that no one gives them there credit card never had any problem ever in my life they also told me to leave in which it's almost like they take your money and run read more

I enjoy going here. My favorite class is Hot Power Fusion and sculpt. Teachers are great. 4 of 5 stars because place could be cleaner and I don't like that you can't always walk in they log the doors during class so often you have to wait outside before your class starts. read more

I've been going to CPY for close to a year now and I really love it. I am a yoga beginner and I haven't been to other studios to compare, but for me this is a great experience. The Ward and Kahala locations are very convenient being close to my home and the studios have late classes 8:00 pm and 8:45 pm which work great for my schedule. I appreciate the teachers, I may not connect with all of them, but I have found several that I really enjoy taking classes from. read more

I've been attending classes at the CP Ward studio. The schedule, location and parking is easy & convenient. I love the variety of classes. As an endurance athlete needing a class for recovery and stretching purposes, the hot fusion class is perfect! read more

So I went here a few times for my free week and I really enjoyed the class... luckily, I was able to snag the $75 unlimited yoga for a month and I have been taking advantage of it! My first class was the HPF and the instructor was great...the classroom wasn't packed and I was able to focus on my practice in a very clean, very nice facility with respectful peers. The second class I did was the sculpting class, and let me just tell you this class is where its at... I was super sore the next day, but the instructor kept it interesting and kept great energy in the room! I love it here and look forward to coming back for many many months. read more

My favorite location to attend. It does get busy but it's a lot bigger than Kailuas location. Really sad about some classes getting canceled in the *Kailua location or it being too fullbut, here in Ward there always on top of things love the instructors here too! read more

Yogi or not you will fall in love with Core studios i'm so happy to have discovered yoga through core! I tried other studios but it wasn't the same. It seems that core studios are selective in their instructors they only hire the best! All instructors have contributed their own uniqueness that make every class challenging in their own way as well exciting! If you make it to core studios please take Whitney's sculpt class your butt, thighs and legs will thank you! She is amazing always keeping positive high energy in the class you won't find a more fun way to sweat! read more

I initially signed up for the 1 week free trial and ended up getting a black tag membership (at a discounted price by being a founding member for the Kailua location). The black tag membership usually runs $165 but with the founding member discount, you receive a 25% off discount for the life of your membership. If you hurry, you can still sign up for it, otherwise classes here are a tad bit expensive hence the subtraction of a star. Other than that, I have to say I love the ambiance of the studio, the friendly and energetic staff, and overall the great workout. I just wish they had more classes other than the CPY 1 class that weren't heated so it wouldn't be so bad going to the other classes on hot days. read more

i first tried core power in La Jolla, and that was where I first got into hot yoga. Upon moving back to HI, there has never really been a place that matched the quality of yoga classes i experienced there. When the Kahala studio opened I tried a couple classes but it was always so crowded and lacked the calming energy that I sought. Other hot yoga studios also lacked a certain consistency and cohesiveness among instructors. This new location at Ward is everything you could ever want in a yoga studio besides a relaxing yet powerful strength class: awesome instructors who don't come off annoying, great playlists, cleanliness, complimentary shampoo and conditioner, and natural light pouring in from the windows. read more
