Edna, the Studio manager at CorePower west in Berkeley does a fantastic job of keeping the studio running smoothly. She makes sure instructors are ending class on time so that the studios can be cleaned and turned over in a timely manner for the next class to get ready. I appreciate how much she does. Since she has been here I also feel as though there are more class times being offered and the quality of instruction has improved.
Me encanta la buena vibra que se genera mientras trabajamos con mente y cuerpo.
Por supuesto, me encantan los entrenamientos y el cuarto caliente, lo siento como un detox! Me encanta.
Aparte los coach son muy buenos.
Jesse is such a phenomenal teacher. Her flows challenge me just the right amount and I love the feedback she gives to individuals. I recently just moved to the bay area and have been looking for a class to attend regularly, and her class is perfect :). I’ve been doing yoga for about 4 years now and she is one of my favorite teachers i’ve had. HIGHLY recommend any of her classes.
I enjoy the 75 minute duration, beginning with some breath work and gradual start to the sequence. The instructor was knowledgeable and friendly. The temperature and humidity were well maintained throughout the class and the music was well suited for the energy. I love experiencing CPY in different locations when I travel. It’s always fun to visit a new studio!
THEM
The staff are delightful! While each lead is unique, they have all been welcoming and very helpful.
EXPERIENCE
My body feels great since I started at corepower. I’ve been attending four classes a week for the last four months. I have not had one in injury but my strength and flexibility have been increasing.
SESSIONS
I can comfortably attended every type of class they have from cool/stretchy to hot/athletic. For extreme positions there are always alternatives. If I’m too tired, I stopped for a moment, catch my breath and have drink at my mat. A short break is all it takes to get back on track with the group.
THERE
The Studios are extremely clean. The floors/equipmentlocker rooms are cleaned continuously. The retail is organized and there is always something on sale. They also rent mats, towels and sell water cartons so forgetting won’t stop you. There are three conveniently local studios and over 160 nation wide.
ME
I am a 69 1/2 year-old man working 80 to 100% in tech. I have no affiliation with the gym other than attending and enjoying my sessions.
Cheers!

I enjoy the slow-down feel of Dora's class; she makes it feel intentional, and in combination with her energy and her music choice, my day is that much better.
I love the community and the energy that each teacher uniquely provides. There are so many options for different styles of class as well as class times, so you can really tailor your experience to your wants and needs! The only thing is that it is a bit expensive for those of us who aren’t students (who get a discount) and have more mid range salaries.
