| - I fell in love with CorePower back when I lived next door to the La Jolla studio and went religiously with my undergrad roommates, but hadn't been in a few years. I moved to AZ last year and after my year-long barre membership ended (which was a decent workout but not really detoxifying and invigorating like CorePower is), I decided to give the CorePower studios here in the Valeey a shot.
Thank goodness I did--these hot yoga classes have really proven to be my favorite workout of all time. OF ALL TIME! There are so many different classes which is nice depending on how sore you are from the day before and to accommodate any preferences you have in general. Sculpt is my favorite hardcore workout (it's heated yoga with upbeat music, free weights, and cardio bursts). I also love hot power fusion, since it is essentially a fun version of Bikram yoga (the set 26 poses, only with fun music and only a perfect 60 minutes, rather than traditional 90-minute classes). C2 is my other favorite since the flows are always great and you get to practice fun inversions (those impressive yoga moves you see on yoga instagram accounts). I haven't tried any of the other classes, but those three keep me super happy.
This studio seems to have the best class selection (for mornings and midday which I prefer) of the three Phoenix studios, but parking is seriously risky business. There are only a handful of spots in their private lot, and basically no places to street park. You can risk it across the street in the Subway lot, but apparently, people have gotten towed. You can park on Maple street too, but it's still not allowed so you risk getting a $44 sign violation ticket (which I've gotten)...You can park across at ASU too, but it's kind of a hike... Sometimes if there is no parking, I just turn around and leave super bummed.
