When you get a chance take Leo’s Sunday at 9:30 am Nob Hill. Truly such a gifted instructor. His intentions are meaningful (every single class I’ve taken by him I can relate to his intentions), his flows are fast, I love how he’s one of the only instructors (Nora M Williamsburg) who allows you to flow by yourself and add/subtract and movements to make it your own flow, I love his cue-ing (doesn’t sound robotic like how Core Power teaches it), and his music is great. In addition, I like how he’s keeps his sequencing rather simple to focus on the basics.
Lastly, you can tell that he truly enjoys teaching and it’s a different type of meaning when you know the instructor puts effort.
He needs to teach a 6 pm Nob Hill or Duboce section.
You always know what to expect but get a slight variation based on the teacher. I LOVE Lola’s class. Always challenges me to push myself out of my comfort zone while also pushing you to authentically be yourself.
I love this studio. Out of all the ones I’ve been to this one feels like home. It is evident that there is a strong community among both teachers and students. The studio has also become a lot cleaner recently an I think it’s a reflection of the new management and the process and standards in place that everyone has been upholding as a result. Even though Nob is no longer the CPY closest to my house, I still travel the distance to flow here when I can.
I took Sarah M’s 4:00 pm sculpt and absolutely loved it! Great music choice and tough sequence. The room was toasty and extra sweaty which I loved. Burnt 821 calories!
My experience at Core Power Nob Hill was wonderful overall. The facility is well kept and clean with spacious bathrooms and showers. I took a C2 Candlelight class with Lola that was absolute perfection. I got a great sweat in and enjoyed her pace and tone. I definitely recommend any classes at this location, especially with Lola :)
It was great. Wonderful teacher who understands how the music works, doesn't talk constantly and is very clear and organized in the instructions given.
I took Ashle Me’s class at Nob Hill. I just moved to San Francisco and ideally I’m not a fan of yoga since I want a format that’s more challenging and active. I’ve heard from multiple locals to try Ashle’s class at 6 pm and I kid you not, she is incredible! Probably one of the hardest power vinyasa classes I’ve taken and her flow and poses made so much sense. I don’t think I’ve sweated so much in my life. It’s so hard to find good instructors that can incorporate good music/repetition of beats, synchronized sequencing, and build up to a tough sequence. This is my new Monday evening sessions!

Leila E. was such a great instructor. Made it a very challenging but productive experience which is why anyone does the hot core power sculpt in the first place. Will definitely be back again many times. She rocks!
