I came in somewhat randomly after a change of plans with my morning. Floy the instructor welcomed me in graciously and got me in for her upcoming class. The environment is pristine and friendly. The class was smooth, and activating. I have a fair amount of experience with yoga and appreciate teachers that give the right amount of cues, enough to know what to do, not so much to steal your focus from the present. She nailed that, class is approachable for all levels. They have great options and all the people in class were very positive and friendly as well. Thank yall for having me !

After visiting the location on preston and forest, I was excited to book a class here. I arrived about 10 minutes early and the studio was already PACKED. Other people walked in after me and people who were already situated had to move their mats over to make room. The woman in front of me had part of her mat on mine, and there was maybe a foot in between both sides of me. Extremely stuffy and uncomfortable considering I'm 5'9 with a long legs and wing span. After talking to others around me, apparently this studio was the smaller of the two, but that room was completely over capacity and I made an executive decision before class even started to leave because I would have been entirely uncomfortable and not able to enjoy what was supposed to be a relaxing experience. I won't be returning.

Core Power is the PERFECT addition to Preston Hollow Village. I personally like the intimacy of a smaller studio, I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Floy, Morgan and the rest of the staff are AMAZING. The studio is clean, I feel safe, the instructors are great. I’m so glad I joined Core Power!!

This studio is in a great central location, I love that it’s close to Trader Joe’s. I enjoyed Calley’s class.

I was a bit disappointed to see there weren’t showers here and there isn’t a way to add locks to the lockers nor are they provided like at the other studio locations. Much smaller studio space but charming decor.

This teachers make this place great and the manager is nice and easy to work with. I’ve been to a different yoga studio (not a core power) that had all the amenities but was not reliable and the teaching methods were just ok. Attending a well run and consistent studio with great teachers that keep the classes fresh and interesting more than make up the lack of locker space and showers. Everyone is welcoming and the environment the teachers create is one of encouraging progress and safe technique instead of judgement. Parking is also easy and the location feels safe (in the morning classes I’ve seen a security car monitoring the parking lots every time) and there’s lots you can do before or after the class in this area.

This new studio has a modern design aesthetic but lacks the functionality of a full CPY studio that we all expect. The studio staff are very welcoming and friendly humans, so I do not fault them at all for things I describe that are completely out of their control. Shout outs to founding Area Manager Morgan T. for being a shining star in the morning and instructor Billie M. for a fun, versatile C2/HPF hybrid class.

Parking is plentiful in the lot across the street from the studio. The front desk area is small but pretty. The lounge bench adjacent to the front desk is cushioned and has the new LED lighted studio name backdrop above it. The retail variety by the front desk is pretty standard with mostly women’s apparel, yoga accessories, and a small selection of men’s apparel.

The studio rooms are smaller than average just due to less square footage. When attendance starts to mature, expect classes to hit waitlist. The schedule does not have CR, C1, C1.5, nor HPF/HY at the moment.

Minus one star for no locker rooms nor showers at this “concept studio”, only two single-stall restrooms and a shared vanity sink area. As a frequent traveler on the go, this is majorly problematic! Members expect consistency of services and amenities across all studios because that’s what they’re paying for and a selling point of having access nationwide. You’d think Corporate would’ve applied knowledge from previous negative feedback of studios that don’t have those amenities by now! I was very fortunate that I stayed at a hotel nearby, but leaving the studio sweaty and sticky after class feels disgusting and unhygienic, and leaves me and others pondering about premium-membership value when competitors have attendant-maintained locker rooms with Keyless.co locks and branded bath products.

Another demerit is that the communal changing hallway has a limited number of smaller-sized lockers (will not fit a large gym duffel) with doors that have no way to be secured, even if you bring your own lock. And expect no privacy when changing. Shoe cubbies should have been built outside room entrances so that sandals aren’t puddling the doorways, a missed strategic design opportunity from legacy studios that have figured it out long ago. I didn’t notice any mat and towel drop bins anywhere.

Another minus point is that the studio rooms do not have humidifiers, only infrared heat panels (yuck!) and weak forced heat. DuctSox isn’t installed on the ceiling so the heat is distributed unevenly and takes a very long time for temperatures to reach the class range. The corporate real estate team really needs to go back to the drawing board and lease bigger footprints and intelligently blueprint larger studios with proper locker rooms and showers stalls in future builds to compete with more premium contenders such as Lifetime, Equinox, and Hot 8 Yoga, which embraces forced heat, high humidity, and luxurious spa-like fitness experience.
