Core Power is my happy place. I love the teachers and the studio set up. I am a mid age black woman and I love that is so diverse. Everyone makes you feel so comfortable. I would recommend anyone there.
I like that there are early classes. Most teachers are very positive and focus on one or two things to improve upon. It's not overwhelming that way. Most teachers teach to different kinds of learners. Everyone pushes themselves, but works at their own fitness level.
I really love the Oak Park/River Forest location. It is always very clean, the instructors are beyond talented and kind, and the other patrons are nice.
This is by far the best core power location I’ve been to in the burbs. It’s so clean!!!!! The locker room is big, clean and there’s so much space. The studio also doesn’t have any weird smells like other locations I’ve been to. It actually smelled amazing I don’t know what diffuser was on. I wish it was closer to me because I would be here everyday. It’s a beautiful studio.
I'm ready for the challenge. I do what I can at my fitness level right now, and I'll eventually catch up. I don't feel like I'm being judged.
I have to go to the 10:30 classes this week because I am babysitting a German shepherd - Butch.
Typically, I go to the 6am because I'm an early bird.
I just like that there are so many options at this location, and it's so incredibly close to my apartment.
From a local studio standpoint, I love the teachers at OP. They are all very talented, and depending on what kind of workout I'm in the mood for that day, I can find a class and teacher that matches what I'm looking for.
From the corporate standpoint, I like that they make changes and aren't a completely stagnant organization (for example, buddy passes, Strength X, retail sales etc.) Room for improvement: I wish the soap products (hand soap, shampoo, conditioner) were higher quality, and I wish towels were provided free to those with a monthly membership.
Karina Q was wonderful! Great cueing, very particular about posture integrity. Calming voice and encouraging. I would take more classes w/her if I lived closer. Great class!!
