CorePower charges $159-229/month for hot yoga. That's over $2,000/year. Here's how to cancel and find the same classes for a fraction of the price.
⚡ Quick Cancel: Visit your home studio front desk. CorePower requires in-person or written cancellation — you cannot cancel through the app or online. Give 30 days notice.
CorePower On Demand: $20/month for streaming classes (ironic — 90% less than studio)
How to Cancel CorePower
Go to your home studio during staffed hours
Tell the front desk: "I want to cancel my membership"
They'll have you sign a cancellation form
Give 30 days notice — you'll be billed one more time after canceling
If on annual contract, ask about early termination terms
Get a printed or emailed receipt of the cancellation request
Take a photo of the form you signed — members have reported studios "losing" cancellation requests
🚨 Common Complaint: Members report that CorePower studios sometimes "misplace" cancellation forms and continue billing. Always get written proof — photo of signed form, email confirmation, or receipt. If charges continue, dispute with your credit card company and file a BBB complaint.
The Hot Yoga Science Check
CorePower's main draw is heated yoga (95-105°F rooms). What the research actually says:
Flexibility: Heat does increase range of motion during practice — this is real
Calorie burn: A 2014 study found hot yoga burns only ~230 calories/session — similar to regular yoga. The sweating makes you feel like you're burning more, but you're mostly losing water weight.
"Detox": Not a thing. Your liver and kidneys handle detoxification. Sweat is water + salt.
Cardiovascular benefit: Regular yoga provides the same heart health benefits as hot yoga (2018 study in Journal of Clinical Hypertension)
Bottom line: Hot yoga is enjoyable and improves flexibility, but doesn't justify a 3-4x price premium over regular yoga classes.
Cheaper Yoga Alternatives
Local independent hot yoga studio ($80-130/mo): Same heated room, often more experienced instructors, 30-50% less
Yoga With Adriene on YouTube (free): 12M+ subscribers, hundreds of full-length classes, beginner to advanced
Alo Moves ($14/month): Premium yoga streaming from top instructors
CorePower On Demand ($20/month): Yes — CorePower's own streaming is 85-90% cheaper than their studio
Any gym with yoga classes ($30-60/mo): Most mid-range gyms include yoga in membership
Community/donation yoga: Many cities have donation-based studios or free outdoor yoga
💡 DIY Hot Yoga at Home: • Space heater pointed at your mat (75-85°F is comfortable and effective) • Humidifier for moisture • YouTube or streaming class on a tablet • Total cost: $50 one-time (space heater + mat) + free classes • Not exactly 105°F, but 80% of the flexibility benefit at 0% of the price
