CorePower Yoga - Downtown LA

One of the worst workout experiences I have had. The sculpt class I took was extremely awkward. There was very little cues, no rhythm to the class. The instructor was monotone, low energy, seemed like a robot. The instructor wandered around the class, clapping off beat and seemed lost. The flows were clunky and seemed like she was always searching for what to say next. The music did not match the tone of the exercise we were doing. Needs a lot more practice at saying cues and working through the rhythm and energy of the class…. This was not even the worst of it… The studio was extremely dirty (which I have to say not many LA corepowers are very clean) but this was especially gross. The studio itself smelled like urine. Then in the women’s bathroom both toilets were out of order and the bathroom was a mess. Not to mention there were men working in the bathroom so if you wanted to change you had to just pull the shower curtain over with them in there trying to fix the toilet. I feel like if there are no working facilities probably a sign to just close the studio for the day and get things in order. I will never ever come back to this studio. I have taken hundreds of workout classes in my life and this was one of my worst experiences.

I have been going to corepower to help with PTSD. I had an instructor, while signing me in , was chatting with another instructor that she does not want to be at corepower nor wants to teach the class this morning and the other instructor concurred. It was very disappointing that instead of a meditative environment focused on wellbeing, I was greeted with the opposite before and after the class. I have rated this a three because I have been to other locations before and they have been more welcoming. I hope next time I visit the downtown if at all, they have more encouraging instructors.

Every other business on this street takes care of their street scape but this one which makes you wonder about the interior. Their sign has been flashing/dying for months, they never cleaned up their windows and there is just a general lack of care to their appearance. I wouldn't go to a place that primarily needs to be hygienic that looks like this.
