  I first fell in love with the practice at the Bucktown location around 2015, and I remember the classes being incredibly rigorous, with a truly intense heat that I found challenging and rewarding. Recently, I decided to revisit the CorePower experience at the River North location and signed up for about eight months. Unfortunately, it's not the same as I remembered, and the studio has left me feeling underwhelmed. My primary frustration is with the class structure and routine. Unlike the Bucktown location, where the routines seemed to change weekly, the River North instructors stick to the same sequence for a month or even longer. For a regular attendee, this becomes incredibly repetitive and frankly, quite boring. It makes it difficult to justify a membership when the classes lack variety and the opportunity to grow. The second major issue for me is the heat. The "heated" aspect of the class is a key selling point for CorePower, but the River North studio doesn't seem to maintain a consistently hot temperature. The instructors frequently open the studio doors during class, letting cold air flood in. This is incredibly disruptive and completely defeats the purpose of practicing in a heated room, especially when you are sweaty and trying to maintain a consistent body temperature. It feels counterintuitive and detracts from the full experience. I also expected CorePower, as a large and established brand, to have expanded its offerings over the years. However, the class selection remains limited to CorePower Yoga and Hot Fusion. I would have loved to see more variety, such as a Pilates fusion class or other specialized formats, to keep things fresh. Ultimately, while the brand name and the instructors are friendly, the lack of routine changes, inconsistent heat, and limited class options make it very hard for me to recommend a membership here, especially for someone who practices on a regular basis. The original CorePower experience I had was a challenging and dynamic one, but this location falls short of those expectations.
