Although there's another CorePower location closer to my work, I've always enjoyed coming to this one on weekday evenings and weekend mornings. The studio is smaller here, but that's the only "negative" thing I can think about the moment, and it isn't really a bad thing.
Now for the pluses:
- When I go to class, even when the yoga room(s) are full, they still aren't suuuper packed. I've always been able to find a space to put my mat without any difficulty, and there's usually space on each side of my mat too, so I don't feel totally packed in like a sardine
- I usually walk here, but if you're not a walker, it's close to transit (MUNI + Caltrain) and there's street parking available that's free after 6pm.
- The teachers are very friendly and helpful, with optional hands-on adjustments
- There's different classes to take depending on your level (or at least, comfort level), and I've never felt bad if I was unable to do a pose or set of poses
- Lotsss of lockers. A problem I have sometimes at another location is that there are so any people and not enough lockers, so more often than not, there's stuff left in the unlocked closets and even on the floor.
- There's mat + towel rentals. There are locks for the lockers too, but I'm not sure if that's free or if you need to pay (I usually just bring my own since it's also easier to identify)
- The change rooms also have small amenities (feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer, spray deodorant, etc.) and showers
I recently bought a class pack (cheaper than buying the classes individually), so another plus is that the class packs work at all the CorePower studios, even outside of Cali.
Great experience so far, and I can't wait to be back for more. I find the classes good but challenging, so I definitely want to get used to the whole hot yoga thing again
