Understanding CorePower Yoga's Cancellation Policies and Fees

An Overview of CorePower Yoga's Cancellation Policy

CorePower Yoga is one of the largest and most popular yoga studio chains in the United States. With over 200 locations across the country, CorePower offers a variety of yoga classes, from hot yoga to sculpt classes that blend yoga with strength training.

When signing up for a membership or class package at CorePower Yoga, it's important to understand their cancellation and class policies. This ensures you can make the most of your experience and avoid any surprise charges. Here is a comprehensive look at CorePower Yoga's cancellation policy and what you need to know before your first class.

Cancelling Single Class Purchases

If you purchase a single yoga class through CorePower's website or app, you can cancel for free up to 1 hour before class starts. Any cancellations within 1 hour of the class are subject to a late cancel fee, which is usually around $15 per class. This fee will be charged to your account.

To avoid late cancel fees, make sure to cancel at least 1 hour in advance if you can't make it to a class you pre-booked. It's easy to cancel online through your account dashboard. You can also call or visit your home studio to cancel, as long as it's more than 1 hour before the scheduled class time.

Pausing or Cancelling Memberships

For unlimited yoga memberships, CorePower offers different options to temporarily pause or cancel your membership.

You can freeze your membership for up to 3 months every 6 months at no charge. This pauses your billing and access to classes, while still retaining your membership. To freeze it, simply log in to your account online and select the freeze option. You'll need to pick a start and end date for the freeze period.

If you need to cancel your membership completely, you'll have to submit a cancellation form. This can be done online or by visiting your home studio. CorePower requires 30 days written notice to cancel memberships without penalty.

So if you cancel on the 1st of the month, your membership and billing will continue until the last day of the month. Any cancellation without 30 days notice results in paying for the next 30 days of membership. This policy exists to protect members in case of injuries or emergencies that require a sudden cancellation.

Initiation Fee Refunds

When you first sign up for a CorePower Yoga membership, there is usually an initiation or activation fee. This ranges from $20 to $59 depending on your location and membership type.

If you have only had your membership for 7 days or less, you can get a full refund on the initiation fee when you cancel your membership. However, if you have had the membership for more than 7 days, the initiation fee becomes non-refundable.

So if you realize CorePower may not be the right fit, act quickly to get your initiation fee money back by cancelling within the first week.

Tips for Making the Most of CorePower Yoga Classes

Now that you know how CorePower Yoga's cancellation policy works, let's discuss some tips to make the most of your classes once you become a member.

Take Advantage of New Student Discounts

CorePower often offers introductory discounts for new students, including reduced membership rates, free classes, or discounted class packs. This can save you a good amount of money as you get started.

Look online or ask at your local studio about any current discounts. Oftentimes there are promo codes you can find to lower that initial membership fee.

Come Early as a Beginner

If you are new to CorePower or hot yoga in general, it's a good idea to show up 10-15 minutes early your first few classes. This gives you time to check in, rent or buy any equipment, set up your mat, and get acclimated to the heat.

Nothing disrupts your flow more than feeling rushed and flustered as class starts. Give yourself extra time so you can relax into the experience as a beginner.

Bring Your Own Equipment

While CorePower does offer yoga mats, towels, and other gear for rent or purchase, it's more economical to bring your own equipment. Having your own mat, towel, and water bottle means you don't have to rent and can save money long-term.

Be sure to bring a yoga mat that provides enough padding and grip. A hand towel or yoga towel is great for hot classes so you can easily wipe sweat. And a water bottle allows you to stay hydrated since most studios don't sell water.

Explore Different Class Types

CorePower offers a wide variety of yoga classes, like Hot Power Fusion, Yoga Sculpt, and Restorative Yoga. Don't be afraid to try different styles as you get started.

This allows you to find which types of classes you enjoy most. Sampling different options can prevent you from getting bored and burnt out. You may find certain instructors or class times motivate you more too.

Listen to Your Body

It's important in any yoga class to listen to your body's limits and not overexert yourself. CorePower classes often encourage students to "find their edge." But don't feel like you have to push too hard or keep up with more advanced students.

Go at your own pace and take breaks as needed. Over time, your flexibility, strength and endurance will improve. Avoid injuries by respecting your abilities as a beginner.
