r/Corepower

I’ve been looking around CorePower markets and it’s becoming more and more obvious that C2 is being pushed out for Sculpt. I totally “get” that Sculpt is trending more than C2 these days, and at the end of the day - especially at CorePower Yoga - money talks, but C2 was a GIANT in the industry just 8-10 years ago.

It was by far the best format in studio fitness IMO when it came combining strength, athleticism, cardio, stretching, balancing, and pliability. It was the perfect balance to a weightlifting routine. Sculpt would get you more “ripped,” but if you had longevity and holistic fitness in mind, C2 could not be beat - especially with an excellent instructor.

I keep wondering when CorePower Yoga simply rebrands to “CorePower.” The power yoga element is being pushed out almost entirely. Even the teachers I meet at the studios sound absolutely depressed about its current state, “no one takes it anymore. It’s such a bummer, Gen Z just wants Sculpt, etc.” is something I’ve heard from at least half a dozen teachers the last several months.

At the end of the day, as I mentioned, money talks - especially at CPY. But that doesn’t wash away this feeling I have of “damn, people have no idea how great this thing is that’s dying right in front of them.”

Instructor looking for ideas on how to grow my classes. I know the biggest thing is to just be yourself.. I’m at a studio with a lot of popular classes and instructors, which I love, but sometimes I feel self conscious or like I’m letting the studio down because my classes don’t perform as well. I am new to teaching but I’ve been teaching my current classes on the schedule for a few months. I am confident I teach a great and fun class it’s just hard to figure out how to reach students who might not know me or have other instructors they stick to. I imagine this is common? Idk. I’m a perfectionist so I’ve been a little hard on myself.

Anyway…..

Instructors: plz give me your tips and tricks!

Students: what are some things that make you want to sign up for a fitness instructor’s class again? Things that encourage you to sign up for a class with a new instructor? Or things that make a class stick out to you? Aside from the obvious music and sequence etc…

Thanks!!!!!!!

I am so sick of this awful pop music in sculpt classes. I tend to go to classes in the Arlington, VA area or downtown DC area. No, I don’t want to do bicep curls to Sabrina Carpenter or tik tok music.

It also doesn’t help that I sometimes go to solidcore and I love the fast beat music because that’s how workout music should be!

Am I in the minority here? Does anyone have any instructors in the area who consistently have great playlists?

Tbh I’ve decided that a CP membership has given me the most I could ask for. Having the ability to take sculpt, flow, deep stretching, restore, and strength classes has given me the ability to take care of myself and recover. I know CP has many problems to work through but the variety of classes and purposes of them is pretty fantastic

Going to be in the Austin area for a few days, any recommendations? All formats.

My skin’s dry in general but going to CP 5-7 times a week is really doing a number on my skin drying out so bad.

That being said, anyone have good recommendations for moisturizers?

Anyone done both of these and have an opinion on how they compare?
