I've gone to previous studios in chicago, but the 6am with Jim was so much FUN. He brought the best energy and made the class flow super fun and with great modifications for all. read more

Loved this place. It was exactly what I needed when I was traveling and looking for a god hot yoga class read more

CorePower Yoga - Streeterville - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

CorePower is best value for your money. This studio is no exception. Great teachers, variety of available classes and good timing. The only reason I didn't put 5 stars is the cleanliness. They don't have good maintenance. Showers are not getting cleaned regularly. read more

In my last visit I attended a Ashlee's Yoga Sculpt class at the Streeterville location with a friend and had a great experience overall! Ashlee was an amazing instructor. The studio is super spacious, clean and perfect for a high-energy class. It was definitely a solid full body strength based workout with weights. The only consistent issue I've run into here is with the entry process. I've come to this location multiple times and every time I struggle to find the main door lock key code in the confirmation or reminder emails. They NEVER provide this information. In the past, I've even had to turn back home because no one was around to let me in. It's a bit frustrating, especially when you're all set for class. That's the only reason I'm knocking off a Star. Aside from that, it's a great studio and I'd still recommend it. Just make sure you have the door code sorted before you go! read more

My friend and I attended Yoga sculpt class with Ashlee Steele over the weekend in the Streeterville location. The check-in process was smooth and we were located in Studio 2.

I recommend this studio and the trainer for a good strength training workout! read more

CorePower Yoga - Streeterville - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Staying at the Four Seasons Chicago from out of town and wanted to get some yoga in. CorePower Yoga was close to my hotel so I thought I'd try it out on a Sat AM. It was easy to find from the street. The check in process was a breeze. Everyone was super friendly and helpful... like they enjoy their jobs. It's a lovely space. They are very accommodating. They gave me a free mat, free towel, etc.... I think all they charged me for was my water. It was crazy. The locker room is really clean and includes everything you might need (tampons, lotion, etc). The class was amazing. Juan was my instructor and he was great. There is no clock on the wall... kind of freaked me out at first. But the hour flew by because Juan made the class so awesome. I did the C1.5 and it was hot but not too hot. I loved it, loved Juan. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

I hadn't been charged for two months after I cancelled my membership. When I saw a charge on my credit card after two months I emailed explaining that I had cancelled my account two months ago and they didn't refund me. I am beyond disappointed that they would try and keep $127 from me. It's not like they need the money. I'm so sad because I loved them but I will never be back! read more

I've been on a yoga kick lately - maybe bc the weather is getting nicer and I don't have to bundle up in layers to get out of the house.. Kelly was my instructor for the restore candlelit session. She was very calming and educational. Great attitude! The style was a bit too slow for me, but it's a nice practice to wind down for the evening. Go early if you want a decent spot, it gets packed. As far as facilities go, lots of locker room space, showers. You do need to pay $2 for a mat to borrow if you didn't bring one. Complimentary the first time. read more

I've been a CorePower Yoga (CPY) black tag member for quite some time now. The awesome thing about CPY is the numerous locations they have not only in Chicago but also across the country but particularly California. I'll have to say my favorite instructors at this location are Elyse and Anne R. I don't think I've ever seen a class completely full here, which is nice if you like having your personal space. Here's a quick breakdown of their classes: C1 ~ beginners class w/ minimal heat and a very structured flow (literally you could go to a different studio and the class would be identical) C1.5 ~ intermediate class for those not quite ready to make the jump up to C2 C2 ~ advanced class with instructor's choice of flow which typically leads into a peak posture / pose. My favorite of all the classes they have to offer due to it being completely up to the instructor to prepare the class, you'll never attend a C2 class that's always the same. Be prepared to be pushed out of your comfort zone. HFP ~ super heated, lots of balancing and detoxifying poses with a structured flow. This is usually the class I'll hit if I'm looking to stretch it out. Sculpt ~ strength and conditioning, bring your A game for this one and be prepared to lift and get your heart rate up LASTLY if you've never been to a CPY location before they offer a week of unlimited classes for free to tryout. So definitely take advantage of that! 'Til next time, namaste! read more

How I feel about CorePower Yoga.... It has allowed me to actually have a moment for myself. Life can be really busy to the point that us, as humans tend to not make time for ourselves and are consistently overwhelmed with all of our life responsibilities. CorePower has truly been an outlet for me, to where I can recharge. A def game changer. And the instructors are Key! They're amazing here! Especially, Amber Wa, Ludmila, Brooke G, Siena Le, Liz Or, Mary M.....basically all of the instructors. Also, it is always super clean and the staff is always friendly. Love it here! read more

I signed up for a restore class and was told to go to the wrong room and it ended up being a corepower yoga 2 class. Luckily, I was fit enough to keep up but it was not what I intended to take. It seemed like the instructor signing people in was directing everyone for restore to the wrong room. I initially thought that maybe I had misheard the room number or the instructor misheard the class that I wanted to attend, but I was not the only one who grabbed two blocks which were never used during that yoga 2 class. I even checked my class history and the records showed that I signed up for restore. read more

Yoga sculpt! Whether you want to get in a better CARDIO SHAPE OR build MUSCLES, This is the place to go!! read more

Great studio, super clean and awesome teachers. I almost didn't post this review because I don't want everyone to find this gem and make the classes even more packed then they already are. I love the Yoga Sculpt classes here at 6:00am. I normally go Tuesdays with Jim and Thursdays with Jeremy. Both classes are very different and both are challenging and fun. There's not better way to work up a good sweat like Yoga Sculpt at CorePower read more

FREE 1 week of unlimited classes for first timers!!! Need I say more? What are you waiting for? I really like this yoga studio, and if my schedule worked out better, I might've considered joining. The front desk greeters and instructors are all personable, friendly, upbeat. They have the type of contagious happiness that turns my cranky 8am morning self into a more approachable, less evil person. There were also no issues whatsoever when I tried to redeem my free week. The facility is located on the 2nd floor. There's two studios: one large and one smaller. The women's locker room is clean and nice! Bring locks for the lockers. It does get crowded during after work hours, but it's not too bad. Sinks, showers, and bathrooms are clean and stocked with anything you may need (shampoo, conditioner, Q-tips, tampons, tissues, hair dryer, lotion). I love the classes - there's something for everyone. Start with the C1 or C2 if you want a more typical yoga class. Sculpt is great to add some cardio and weights to your workout, but don't expect too much stretching. Every class is heated + added humidity, but to different degrees. I thought the music was suitable for all the classes I've been to (either calming or motivating) and I'm still able to hear the instructor at the same time. BYOYogamat unless you want to rent theirs (one time I used theirs, it smelled horrible so I recommend BYOY). Also, you need a towel. You sweat. A lot. read more

Lately, there has been a lot of very last minute teacher changes . So, you forced into going to a class you would otherwise not sign-up/pay for unless you want to get a late cancel charge. People often choose to go to certain yoga classes based on the teacher. read more

I like this studio a lot! Friendly staff, an array of challenging classes, and nice locker rooms. What else can you ask for? I've taken C1, C1.5, C2, and Sculpt classes. Here's a mini breakdown of each: - C1 is a good intro class, or just nice to jump into if you're looking for something slower paced and relaxing. - C1.5 is a new class - I think we took the very first offering (taught by Juan - he was wonderful!) and is perfect for someone that's looking to acclimate themselves to hot yoga while building up their skill set slowly but surely. - C2 offers a great workout - you're flowing, sweating, and feeling powerful throughout. - I didn't love Sculpt - the teacher was too intense and didn't allow for any recovery breaks during the super hot and hard hour of class. It seemed a little reckless, but maybe it's just not for me. All of the other classes I've been to have been great. read more

The BEST!!!! Awesome teachers and clean studio/ locker area. Can't ask for more! They offer free one week trial so please do visit and try some classes. read more

Terrible yoga experience. I went to a free student led Corepower class in Hyde Park and loved it so I signed up for a Groupon to go to the Streeterville location since it's closer to my job. Let me just preface my experience by mentioning that my intention for wanting to start yoga was to take care of my mind, body and spirit. I am dealing with a lot mentally and physically and decided practicing yoga would be the best way to reconnect with myself. I was already emotional when I got here but I had the intention of leaving here feeling more peaceful. Instead, I ran out of here crying... I went to a C1 class and the instructor (I won't mention her name) was probably the worst I've ever experienced. When I checked in I was told it was a free student appreciation day class and I mentioned I never have been to this location and I'm new to yoga. No one showed me where the locker room was and she told me the class is in studio 1 (didn't know where that was either). I sat in the lobby area and the staff was sitting around gossiping about other fitness centers in the area (already a negative vibe). Even still I was optimistic when the class started because there were only 5 other people so I figured I'd get a more personal experience with the attention I needed to successfully practice yoga. Wrong! The instructor moved so fast I couldn't keep up and I don't know yoga poses. So she would say the pose name and I would have to look at what everyone else is doing to figure it out before they were already in the next pose. I thought a class was to LEARN and practice TOGETHER. Then 15 minutes in she got right to ab workouts which I cannot participate in because I have diastasis recti from having a baby 3 months ago. I tried and after feeling defeated mentally and physically I packed up my yoga mat and left crying. It was clear the other students were far more experienced than I was and I did not expect the class to get slowed down just to cater to me, however, I didn't even feel like I belonged. There was no sense of unity for me nor did I feel like my presence was honored. The C1 class is definitely NOT beginner friendly and I will never come back to this location again. read more

Back in September, I did 4 classes during the free week and decided I definitely wanted to purchase a monthly membership, but wanted to wait until Groupon ran one of its deals. Low and behold, in February, CPY was having a Groupon deal and for $69, I could go to as many classes as I wanted for a month. I was really out of shape and wanted to get fit for spring and figured CPY would be the perfect place to start and boy was I right. I did the Groupon with 2 friends and we mainly went to Sculpt classes at the LP, Goldcoast, and Streeterville locations. My favorite would definitely be the one in Streeterville because the studio is bigger (there are 2 of them!). After going to 3-4 classes a week for a month, we were all feeling super in shape and ready to take on the world! All the instructors vary by difficulty level and if you want a class that kicks your behind, go to Leigh's or Connor's (my fav!). You might be cursing at them during class, but it's well worth it when you come out after the hour feeling fantastic! The one downfall of CPY is that since you don't have to sign up for classes, there is no cap as to how many people can join a class and sometimes you will be mat to mat with your neighbors, which kinda sucks when you get hit with their sweat during a particularly hard class. Gross. But all in all, a great workout for anyone that wants to sculpt those sexy muscles for tank top weather!! read more

Great location, personable and friendly staff, each with his or her own touch. Core Power is extremely convenient and does the trick, but not the same as smaller, more familial places where you really get to know the instructors and be a part of a "yoga community". read more

My fiancé and I were visiting Chicago for a week and attended the Sculpt class taught by Elissa M. on our first day in town. It was an awesome workout, the staff were friendly and energetic, the studio clean and well organized. We ended up making this class our morning routine for the whole week which satisfied our need to earn all the calories we were inevitably going to consume. Thanks for being a home away from home CorePower Yoga! You truly enhanced our visit to Chicago. read more

I had never stepped foot in a yoga studio before 1 month ago and I'm hooked. Great beginners classes =C1..not heated but still a great stretching/workout. I've also managed a C1.5 where its slightly heated, and go over in depth the poses proper alignment. The best thing is that the instructors are really friendly & welcoming. I also like that while everyones head is down at the beginning of class, the instructor asks if you want to not be touched, please raise a hand. They really respect your personal space. Oh...and complimentary shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, etc in super clean bathrooms & personal shower stalls. read more

I've never been a yoga person... until now. My experience here has been great! I went in several weeks ago to purchase a drop in. Thanks to Natalia, she convinced me to purchase the unlimited month Groupon. And once my month is complete, I will be purchasing a membership in Boulder since we are moving! Most of the instructors are great! Special shout outs to Natalia, Lauren, Linnea, Alicia & Tanya... it's evident they genuinely love teaching yoga and are highly educated in this field. The experience is consistent, I love that about this business. Keep up the amazing work, thank you for opening my eyes to yoga. This will now be a regular part of my fitness routine! read more

Whenever I'm in Chicago I will definitely revisit the Core Power Yoga Studio. I had a great experience. My yoga classes started at 6 AM. I had two different instructors, both very efficient and focused. The room temperature was about 85° I wouldn't call the room small but cozy. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I had three great days in Chicago. It made my conference complete but word to the wise bring your own mat. read more

Let me start by saying I'm picky with group fitness classes. Bikram yoga is the only class I've been going consistently. But the summer is here and I know I need to get more toned. I've tried Core Fusion at Exhale, and don't get me wrong, the class was hard, but almost everyone in class was wearing full makeup and all those shiny jewelry. I mean I get it, you live in Gold Coast and you are rich, but seriously, are you trying to work out or are you trying to show off?! I've also tried Flywheel. Maybe I just have strong legs, but the class didn't feel that hard to me. I went to Core Power Yoga's Gold Coast location several times, and I loved their heated yoga sculpt class. It's cardio with weight, plus in a heated room. Every time I got done with the class, I could mentally feel my fat is melting away in my body. So when this Streeterville location opened in March, I was really excited because it's closer to me. Now here comes the five star: - Teacher: I like how the teacher shows us how exactly some moves should be done. I used to go to the studio in Gold Coast, the teacher just talked and talked, sometimes I was confused and so were other people, but the teacher just went on. In this case, the teacher I had (for a Saturday 8am class) was very good. - Cleanness: this is one of the cleanest yoga studio I've been to. Partially because it's brand new. The bathroom is bright and clean, doesn't smell like dirty feet or something. - Studio: the studio is a little on the small side, but I didn't feel being cramped or afraid of hitting someone next to me. Not sure about busier class times, but I'm sticking to my 8am class. read more

Actual rating a little closer to 3.5/5 5/5 classes and class selection 3/5 amenities 3/5 for how crowded the studio gets 3/5 for price I was a black tag member here for a month, and I really enjoyed the classes that I took here, but my main complaints are that I have had better experiences at other CPY studios and many of the sculpt classes are PACKED! I'm a student, not making any money, so my view of what's worth it and what isn't might be skewed. Keep that in mind. Starting with the good. They have a good selection of classes. I think I took all of them except for the C3 classes which were higher level and focused more on inversion (I believe), which I didn't feel ready for. The C1 classes are good for beginners; they make sure to explain every pose in precise detail. I think this is an excellent class for people who have limited experience with yoga. This is also not heated The C2 classes were also great. more intermediate level and heated. Focused on intentions and digging deep into poses. All the instructors were a little different, but in general had similar experiences in all the C2 classes. The Sculpt classes are probably CPY's most popular. They combine weights with yoga poses in a heated humidified room. If you want a good workout, this is the place to go. The Restore class is a deep stretch class. Since I had the black tag membership, I didn't feel bad "wasting" a class on some more stretching. Honestly one of my favorites. Got to really treat my body well. I don't think this one was heated. Amenities are ok. They have lockers, showers, and a water fountain. You could rent a mat if you forgot one, or buy a bottle of water. And then the parts that I don't like that much. The Sculpt classes are so crowded. I had to run into the room and place my mat early before dropping my bag off in the locker room to make sure I had an ok spot in the room. And these were my favorite classes. I was not the biggest fan of the Hot Power Fusion classes. I guess I'm just not he biggest fan of holding poses for a very long time. Also, at another CPY I've been to, we were given cool lemon lavender towels at the end of all of the classes during corpse pose to cool off. I thought that was such a nice touch and helped justify the price tag of this studio. But that is not offered here, which was a bit of a disapointment. But my main complaint is the price. The first month of black tag is $89, but after that it was going to be over around $119 (I believe, I can't remember exactly, with the student discount). I just don't think that I can justify the price. I do like the heated classes. But I think if I'm going to be paying that much, I need to not only have great classes but also excellent amenities. Overall, I really enjoy Corepower classes, I just cannot justify the costs personally, and no longer practice yoga there. read more

You should know that this rating is based on my need for parking that this location does not provide. If you live nearby and will walk there, go ahead and add another star. I can't bring myself to give a "Yay! I'm a fan!" review because I need to drive here if I go. I was really excited when I heard about a Streeterville location, because I go to CPY on my way home from work Monday-Friday. Since this location is right off Lake Shore Drive, it would have been ideal. I suppose they are hoping most of the people using this location will be residents nearby. Parking is a bitch in this area. The website says there is pay street parking for $2 an hour. What they don't tell you is that there are a grand total of 5 spots. I ended up parking a block south on Ohio, where the prices are $4 an hour. There's garage parking, but you'll end up paying more for parking than the actual class. I guess I thought that if X-Sport, which had cost me less than $40 a month, provides parking for their members, CPY, which costs $135 a month, would have something for their members. Even if they worked some deal with the nearby garage to subsidize the cost for members... Aside from the parking situation, it's a lovely studio, though smaller than the others I have gone to (primarily South Loop and Lincoln Square). The smaller of the two rooms has this little column that's right in the middle front that gets in the way. They have the standard CPY classes but no Ryder classes. There are 5 showers. The women's locker room isn't as cramped as the South Loop location, which is crazy in between classes during rush hour. I am not sure how crowded it gets, since it's new and I went during a slow time. I know overcrowded classes are a common complaint at all locations. If you live near the Mag Mile, then give this location a try. I definitely like CPY classes in general. If Streeterville had parking, this would be my favored location. read more

This is a nice studio. The staff/ instructor who helped me register was very nice and helpful. I was testing out different studios and this one stood out. I went to the morning sculpt class as this was a unique offering compare to other yoga studios. It was challenging, think boot camp/ barre in the heating room. It was such a great workout! Clean lobby and locker room. They have mats and towels for rent. The mat was wimpy and slippery, if you need it for a hot/warm class bring your own! There are also showers and locker room but you have to bring your own lock and towels. There was no changing room except for the bathroom so privacy may be an issue to some people. The only negative part was that there was no mat cleaning spray or wipes available and no one clean the dumbbells and blocks after they used them. Overall, I'd return again since I really enjoyed the class. read more

I only come here when I buy a groupon deal because the drop in classes are crazy expensive, but it's hard to beat hot power fusion on Sunday mornings with Lorena. She gives good guidance, but isn't talking the whole time, which is a great balance. She's also open to building on the normal hpf sequence. The studio is very nice, clean and bright - great bathroom amenities if you're going before work. In general, a wonderful place to practice. read more

For a person who is not really into yoga, I had an enjoyable time taking the C2 and Sculpt classes at CorePower. The facility is very nice and the women's locker room is well kept and clean. The C2 class was extremely relaxing and left my muscles feeling loose. I have to say that after taking this class, I felt rather sluggish for the rest of the day...The Sculpt class was basically the exact opposite of C2 in terms of the type of workout and intensity. We used hand weights and there was a lot more cardio incorporated into the workout. Both of these classes were held in a heated room which will cause you to sweat profusely. These classes were pretty fun but personally I would not pay for a membership here since I am more into running as my exercise of choice. I hope I can use the rest of my free week trial to check out some of the other classes CorePower has to offer. read more

Love this company and this specific studio. All the teachers are wonderful and extremely passionate about what they do.

Good sculpt class good instructor. I thought Streeterville would be chaotic because of the location but it wasn't! I thoroughly enjoyed my sculpt class! read more

This corepower studio is lovely - the instructors seem to embrace that each individual yogi comes from a different level of experience and expertise - all are welcomed. I also usually shower here after the hot classes - the amenities are also maintained pretty well! read more

I'm new to yoga & don't have a ton of time for workouts. You have a wide selection of classes throughout the day. I tried a groupon for another yoga studio but the weekday schedule only had the hot yoga and/or scuplt/power classes at 6:00 a.m. or 6:00 p.m Your studio offers different types of yoga throughout the day so I can get the class I need. I took a class yesterday and it was an incredible workout. A friend from my work plans to join this weekend. read more

i business traveled with my yoga mat while in chicago for a week and cpy was only 5 minutes walking distance away from my hotel :) the studio is only 1 months young, plenty spacious with 2 sizable studios. the restroom was also very sizable and clean as well (considering it's located in the heart of the city). got my booty kicked by taylor and lauren in sculpt. got my mind calmed and body stretched by julie for c2. i'm not sure what it is, but i didn't feel like i was on the same wavelength as any of the teachers i took classes. maybe i'm too used to my cpy californians? i felt like all of the teachers walked around a lot while we were practicing versus being in front of the class demonstrating and doing the poses with us. it's ok to walk around to adjust us but they kind of walked around for talking and walking sake. they paced around the room a lot, and it was quite distracting. all i can say is, so glad to be back in california, reunited with my californians :) p.s. the studio has the same set daily schedule (unlike the cpy i'm used to which had inconsistent scheduling). which means if you have same set time free on any given day, you'll be stuck with the same classes... doesn't sound like a good variety to me! read more

I joined CorePower a couple of weeks ago looking for inspiring teachers and a good amount of heat. I found both in CP and had only good things to say until tonight. Gold Coast and Old Town are my usual studios, but tonight I went to C2 in Streeterville to see Dominka (she's awesome) and felt so hurried, rushed, and claustrophobic (from beginning to end) it ruined any sense of calm I expected following class. The women's locker room has a terrible setup, and with the class times beginning and ending close to one another it was beyond crowded. I could barely reach a locker and was even pushed a bit as women came in from a class that just ended. I brushed that off because I wanted to see Dominka and I know after work hours are more crowded than others. The worst thing, though, was that after class I didn't even have time to roll up my mat before someone was encroaching me to take my spot! People literally came into the room as soon as shavasana had ended. I understand wanting a spot in class, but this just represented a complete lack of respect for students who just finished. "Is this your water bottle," someone asked me before I could gather up my towels. It was such a turnoff it ruined my night. You'd think maybe a staff member could give us a bit of time to exit before letting the next group in, but not here. If you're in the area I recommend Gold Coast or Old Town first. read more

I have avoided taking classes at Corepower because I thought it would be too corporate and too much like a bad aerobics class. I couldn't have been more wrong. Outstanding facility, genuinely friendly staff, and great class (I did a C2). I'd return again. I cannot think of anything they need improve. You won't be disappointed. read more

Yoga 2 in the Heated room was hands down the best class I ever took. The atmosphere is positive and a great place to drown out all the negative energy from the day. This was my first class and I will be back for sure. read more

Clean, professional, comfortable studio, quality yoga instruction, great experience!

I've been to about all of the north side location CPYs and just came to Streeterville today for 6am Sculpt with Vic and LOVED the class. Probably the best sculpt class I've taken and by the far the hardest. So why the 3 stars? The studio. 1. In the ladies locker room there were little dead gnats on the counter top. Ew! Please clean! Also, for the first class of the day, I usually walk into other studios and it's pretty immaculate, so not up to par. 2. The storage is not great in this building, I'm assuming downtown space is $$$$, and when trying to get ready after showering, there instructors are putting away blocks and balls, etc. while a bunch of ladies are trying to get ready. I think timing-wise this could wait as there aren't classes immediately after. 3. Lack of hair dryers! One is just not enough. Thankfully, the other girls brought their own, but I think as amenities slowly disappear (no more hair ties or hair spray!) things like this REALLY make it easier for the early morning folks. Also, I didn't find any issues with 6am parking on the street but could see how it would be difficult during the day. As others note, the studio is on the second floor on the building! read more
