Loved my 6 a.m. class at CorePower Yoga! It was intense in the best way — I burned a ton of calories and left feeling strong and energized. The class was challenging, fun, and such a great start to my day. I’ll definitely be seeking out CorePower studios whenever I travel!

Update: reduced my rating due to this location becoming consistently filthy, unsanitary,
and not regularly cleaned — there’s been mold/mildew/soap scum in the showers all times/days of the week that is never cleaned, balls of hair in the showers, locker room is becoming nasty with debris on the floor and feeling unsafe to walk around barefoot, and floor in the studio has dirt/dust that gets stuck to your feet and arms. But then can’t even rinse off because the showers are disgustingly.

I am allergic to mold/mildew/dust, and it triggers asthmatic attacks and seizures, so this is unacceptable.

The studio is also not that hot/humid like a proper hot yoga studio should be.

Instructors are still wonderful and very welcoming/friendly.

***

Love this studio! Everyone is very friendly and all the teachers have been so wonderful and kind. Facility is clean although sometimes there’s a stale odor in the studio.

Great class & teachers! But many students are disappointed at the locker room (shower & rest room). Definitely needs to clean more often and better. The management should make plans for the maintenance of this studio!

I generally like the classes here especially Yoga Sculpt. However, I wish the classes were either less hot OR better ventilated... Lately every class has ended with BO smells and it's really off-putting. Other places end classes with essential oils, etc... maybe try that?

I was a huge fan of this studio but their online/phone customer service is horrible. You cannot ask any questions about what they are charging and they just billing things not properly. Lots of overcharging! It's a shame since the instructors are very nice.

I'm very torn writing this review because I love the studio, the instructors, and the classes but I was recently in a class where the humidifier let loose a cascade of extremely hot water right where a student was standing. Luckily, she had very quick reflexes and was able to avoid the majority of it but was still left with a bad burn on her leg. Had she not moved so quickly it would have been so much worse and that fact makes me anxious about returning to this studio.

4+ stars for some of the great instructors here and the overall friendliness of staff. Unfortunately, there are also many instructors who are not great at all. Also, whenever someone subs a class they do not normally teach, unfortunately they spend the whole class reading and not able to lead the class - we as the class lead ourselves.
2 stars for cleanliness. The equipment is not always cleaned. Some instructors are consistently good about cleaning the weights while I have personally seen others completely go their merry way. The blocks and bands are never cleaned and the floors of the 2 rooms always look filthy/dusty. The bands this studio offers are not real bands? They're sticky and curl up - Falls Church has real bands why doesn't Merrifield?

Before I get into the bad experience I had, I feel it's important to reflect the positive, as well as the root cause of the problem.
Issue:
This facility seems to have an issue around the doors being locked, and potentially locking out customers

Good experience:
Thursday 03Nov22 0600, I re-fell in love with yoga! I'm not certain of the instructors name, but she was kind, patient and everything you'd expect visiting a new yoga facility - from out of town! I'm a newly single dad, transitioning through a very ugly divorce (most of society fails to acknowledge or lacks the ability to find/ extend compassion towards men/fathers (especially black men/ fathers) through this difficult process), a vet finally managing my ptsd & no longer self isolating after nearly 2yrs, and many more challenges. This was so needed, and at the exact right time. My mind, body and soul were at peace the entire day. I decided to join again, to get another dose of tranquility, before headed home.

The Ugly:
Friday 04Nov22 0600 I purposefully arrived later than I did on Thursday, as it seems the early instructors may not unlock/open the doors until closer to 0600 (friday I arrived the requested 15min early and the doors were locked and not one person was there until about 0555). I arrived at 0558 to find the doors were locked. I knocked for awhile, tried to find a way in.. "ahh that's right", I thought, there are windows in the 0600 studio. So I made my way to the window and knocked on the window- in hopes someone would hear me and let me in. They did, it was a "new" (new to me, meaning but the Thursday 0600 instructor) instructor and she was outrageously rude, unwelcoming, and everything you'd think you'd never find in a yoga instructor; let alone my beloved yoga community. After being ridiculed by her momentarily, I opted out of the class - why would I subject myself to that negative energy during a time I'm very malleable? Through my struggle with ptsd and mental health challenges, I'm learning to extend grace and compassion [to others, as well as to myself]; especially right now post pandemic when we all need it the most. That said, I hope that whatever challenges that instructor is facing are matched and shes able to manage and work through them in Godspeed... as I'm not certain if shes aware that the ugliness she showed, at the moments she chooses, at the place of calm and balance that she works, truly has the ability to place the imbalance of life and death into others.

Namaste 🙏🏿 and I hope you all healing and strength to endure your struggles!

Went to two locations in Falls Church, West Broad street and Hill top. Both websites said “open” and no one is opening the door. Someone is currently inside the Hill Top location and saw us AND did not open the door for us to sign up for yoga classes. Clearly this is not a business that reflects the spirit and philosophy of Namaste.

The facilities are clean and inviting, the instructors are all wonderful and friendly, and I can always find classes that meet my personal schedule. Since going to CorePower I feel more relaxed and healthier, I've lost about 10lbs (mostly around the belly), and my flexibility is back! Thanks to CPY Merrifield this FL boy survived the winter and looks forward to the warmer weather and hopefully a beach bod 😉

First time trying yoga. I did the yoga sculpt class and I thought it was a good start to my yoga goals. I've done mainly hitt classes in past and looking for a medium between the two and this was exactly it! Instructor was very nice. Clean facility. Will definitely try this again.

My husband and I went to a class at this studio while in town visiting his parents and had a great experience.

Thanks for the support in my practice and continuing to make every CPY my hOMe away from home!!

I been going to CorePower yoga studios as a black Tag member ($$$) for years, for the most part I only go cause the sculpt instructors are my inspiration and is convenient to my personal schedule, with that in mind I’m Very disappointed with management in merrifield studio as well corporate, I’ve called a few times in the past couple of weeks about the heat not working for over 6weeks in the sculpt classes (merrifield location) they seem to give very little importance on our practice time, flexibility and comfort, but I’m sure they would call back right away if my credit card did not work monthly! They’ve offered a $25 back ....
Really!! That fixes the problems..... 🤔
Broken heat (for weeks) broken showers, dirty bathrooms...
I’m still waiting on a call back..... hahahah
Won’t hold my breath!

I am so happy that I joined this studio. The instructors are amazing - they're helpful before, during, and after classes. Classes are fun, each instructor has her/his own style. The schedule is great for everyone, as classes start really early and go until around 9pm. The studio itself is always clean and presentable.

I had the best time taking Amy Brown's sculpt class. She carefully orchestrated every song to the movements in the workout. Both she, and her music were amazing motivators. Class was an hour of constant varied movement, which was hard, but really really fun too! She is the BEST core power instructor I've ever had.

I just tried the free week and I really like the workout; it's simplicity, completeness (the poses are some of the more simple ones, but it's spot-on in its variety) and reliability in that I know the set of poses which will be covered in each class. It takes the pressure off needing to find the really good teachers...they are all good AND the workout is good! I am looking forward to being able to really monitor the progress I am making as my body is able to progress in theses repeated poses. I like the spaciousness of the bathrooms too!

This studio really is as good as it gets. It's always clean, quiet, and serene. The studio manager (Ava) really sets the tone, always kind and welcoming, offering an encouraging smile everytime I arrive. The teachers are competent, friendly, and helpful at all levels - always ready to give you that much needed adjust/assist. I love the candlelight 8:30pm classes with Meghan and Nicole - I challenge you to find a better way to unwind after a long stressful day!

his was my first time at the Merrifield Studio. It was clean, bright, and spa-like. I liked the layout of the entire studio and how large the yoga studio itself was. The locker room was spacious. I wasn't tripping over anyone to get in and out of the locker room and didn't feel like I was in anyone's way while getting changed. I particularly like the "living room" area around the fireplace. It's so cozy and the little tea station is a wonderful touch, especially in the winter!

I like Beverly a lot evrytime I attend her class I feel so good very different from the majority of other teachers. Her gentle and comforting gentle touch at the end of the class makes you want more to return to her Sculpt Yoga and now C2 class. Both classes she is awesome. I have joined the Core Yoga since Feb and I am still keeping up with these young girls. The place is very convenient specially parking accomodation wise but most of all they kept the studio clean and sanitized. As long as they keep teachers like Beverly and of course teachers like Emily who is one of the sweetest person and the only teacher who knows and acknowledges all her students by name at the end of the session very impressive; Stephanie , Olivia and Cruz from the old group though I don't see them anymore at Merrifield and of course Kimberly now the manager of the branch. Lately I noticed new faces and I am just getting to know and working out with them so till next comment. I give Merrifield 8/10 score!

I'm still on my free two week trial for CorePowerYoga and I'm really impressed. First of all, they keep their studio clean and tidy, and they put a lot of detail into their interiors which of course is valuable when you're trying to find some zen. Also love that you can acquire some yogi gear at the shop. Ambiance wise, there's a modern chic vibe.

As for the classes, I've only done yoga with weights and the beginner power yoga class, which I really really enjoyed. Both Jill and Brendan provided great cues which made me reevaluate the actual flow of my practice and felt more confident about taking the more challenging options for the various positions. Students keep to themselves but there is a calm and uplifting energy in the studio. I'm really considering practicing in this location.

Holy workout. I am finally starting to feel normal after my 6:00am workout and it is now 9:45am. Be prepared to sweat and push yourself.

The Merrifield location is smaller than the Falls Church location, but all the normal CorePower amenities are the same. In addition, their free sculpt class takes place on Sundays. The smaller class meant additional teacher attention and encouragement, which is always a plus so early in the AM.

You can rent towels and mats and buy water, accessories, clothing up front. There is a female and male changing area with showers, bathrooms, and private stalls. There is everything you may need to workout and get ready for work.
