      I resigned up a monthly membership for the rate of $119 and was told this pricing was locked in rate and would not change. Now they have upped the rate to $129 a month for the past four months. I have contacted both the manager and the customer service and have not been able to get the rate changed back so unfortunately have to go this route. I would like my rate changed back to the agreed amount of $119 and a refund for the four months overcharged. Thank You!

      Hi *******,  

      Thank you for being a valued All Access Member in our Del Mar CorePower Yoga community. Our team of studio managers and teachers are committed to providing you with the highest quality yoga experience possible. To ensure we can continue to bring you a best-in-class experience, we made some changes to our membership rates.

      We sent you a email on Dec 16th, 2024 sharing this information. As of January 15, 2025, there would be increases by $10 a month, which is still below what it would be if you purchased a new membership today.

      If you have any questions about this change or your membership, our Customer Experience team is here to help. You can reach us by calling **************. 

      Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to continuing to support your yoga practice for many years to come. 

      With Gratitude,
      ****** G

      Complaint: 23181955

      I am rejecting this response because:

      when I signed up I was told this price was locked in for life.  CorePower needs to honor their contract and what they are telling students at sign up.

      This is unethical business practice.  I do not accept the reply.


      Sincerely,

      My daughter **** ****** (a minor) is a member at this CorePower location. We signed her up for membership in January at the studio in person, and we were 100% assured that after the first introductory month, we would be charged the discounted student monthly fee.We asked again in person about this yesterday and were told dont worry. Well lo and behold, I was charged today - the full rate ($189).Of course when I call nobody ever ever picks up the phone - any of their studios or customer service phone numbers. Anytime day or night or whenever. ***** ****, on behalf of **** ****** ************

      I called CorePower Yoga in October of October 2024 to freeze my membership to allow for the studio to have time to get more classes on the schedule. I had been going to the studio for 4 years but the last year and a half the studio was not offering the variety of times like they used to. I found myself driving from studio to studio trying to find classes that fit my schedule. I wanted to cancel in October but I thought I would give them one more chance to get some more classes on the schedule. When I froze my account they charged me a 30 day payment. Ive been looking and the class schedule has not gotten better so I am not coming back. They decided to charge me another 30 day fee o f $135. This is $270 total to cancel my membership. I did not agree to this and I want a refund.

      Hi ***,

      Thank you for your outreach. As an exception to our freeze /cancellation policy agreed and previous communication you had regarding the freeze request on 9/30/2024, we are happy to offer the charge of $135.00, back to your account as account credit. This credit will never expire, and can be used towards any future membership payments, or in-studio on purchases of retail or classes.
      We have sent  you a email on 1/16/2025 and feel free to reply. Moving forward your membership is cancelled and you will not be charged for membership again as we have a 30 day cancellation policy, this also includes if your membership is frozen.

      Feel free review the membership Terms and Conditions for reference on our website. .

      Thank you for understanding.

      I am rejecting this response because I do not want a credit. I would like a refund as I will not be returning to any of your studios or purchase any items from your retail space. I have not agreed to the terms and conditions you are speaking of as those were not the T&Cs I signed off on when I joined.

      They milk every dollar from their customer. Their business model is terrible. You have to be diligent on when to cancel your membership and if you decide to freeze it, it will cost you. Yoga is supposed to be zen and nice. Corepower is a corporate business and they don't care about their customers. I will never go back

      Let me preface by saying that Ive been an avid lover and supporter of CorePower for years. They have always been such an awesome and transparent business. Recently, I put my membership on hold because I was traveling for work and was expecting to be relocated. Prior to my 90 day freeze ending, I cancelled my membership to avoid getting charged for another month (I had also found out I was being relocated somewhere that had no CPY studio). Apparently now there is a 30 day cancellation window and if you dont cancel before then you have to pay an additional month. I was shocked when I found this out because it was never this way before. Not only that, but I was then prorated an additional $21.20 this month. Tell me how thats fair? I agreed to pay an additional month for not cancelling in time and then get charged AGAIN. I spent nearly $200.00 total just to get out of my membership. I loved *** so much and had always planned on returning to the studio one day if I moved again. I am so disappointed in this process that I know I will not be returning again in the future. Do better CPY, do not be so sneaky! You just lost someone who was a big proponent for your business.

      Hi *****,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your kind words of support. We can confirm you requested a 3 month freeze on 7/5/2024 and that is why you were billed on October as your freeze was up. We needed to hear from you to either to extend the freeze or move forward a cancellation. Our membership is non refundable and we require at least a 30 day notice prior to your billing date to process the cancellation, as its stated in the agreement you agreed for our terms and conditions. Please reply to the email communication you have with Lien to further assist you if you have any other questions.

      CorePower Yoga's terms and conditions are overly complicated, on purpose, to mislead prospective customers with sneaky business models. I purchased a full access membership to ********** Yoga - ************ - on July 30, 2024. I cancelled my membership on August 15, 2024. I never visited the facility or attended a class. On my statement, I noticed a charge $134.80 to my Discover Card. When I visited the location for my first scheduled class, I quickly realized the location has issues with cleanliness and left immediately. I requested a refund of this charge on September 7th via their online request form. Their response to my inquire, "we are unable to refund the charge back. For cancellations, we require a 30-day notice to cancel the All Access Membership while the intro month can be cancelled anytime within the billing cycle as long as it is prior to your billing date."According to their explanation, I am entitled to a refund. Reasoning being, I purchased the membership on July 30th, as my intro month, and cancelled on August 15th. After a lot of back and forth, they continued to ignore my request for a refund by offering a "one time exception credit used towards future membership, classes or retail purchases." Why would I accept a credit? I want a refund of $134.80 back to my Discover card. Their terms and conditions are unnecessarily complicated and predatory. They also do not take into consideration the importance of cleanliness, temperature and customer experience at this location, which is lacking. A customer shouldn't be forced to pay for an unused membership. Especially when the facilities aren't up to basic health standards. Please help....

      First of all I absolutely love the classes at this company or I wouldnt have lasted this long . Unfortunately, their business practices are frustrating and unethical. I signed up 3 months ago. Ive had to call in and have my account adjusted every single month to get the correct rate that I was told. First the promotional first month offer and then to apply my medical discount. Then this month I noticed a bunch of $15 charges on my account. When I inquired on which dates I was for sure at 2 of the classes and have proof that I was there. The managers solution was to refund me for one of them. How is this a solution? Also if they check my record I have spent hundreds of dollars on their products in addition to an unlimited membership. At this point I got frustrated and canceled my account. Now I have a final 30 day period and I have to pay for it so I tried to go to a class at a different location thinking it was just an issue at 1 gym. As soon as I left the gym I got a $2 towel charge receipt to my email. I returned to the gym and videotaped the teacher confirming that I in fact did not use a towel and that she didnt charge me. Yet somehow my card was charged. I wish I could just get my membership to stop my membership asap. Im putting a stop payment on my card to avoid any more unauthorized charges. $2 and $15 may be small but it adds up and it is unethical. I just want my $47 in unauthorized charges back and immediate cancellation so I can join another studios. This is supposed to be my stress release not the cause of it

      Hi Angela,

      Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. We are sad to hear that you are looking to leave CorePower Yoga. While our memberships have no long term contracts, we do ask
      for a 30 day notice to cancel. About our reservations policy, to open up space for your fellow students, we require that you cancel any reservations you make 2 hours or more before class starts. A $15 late cancel/no show fee will be charged to your credit card on file if you cancel within the 2 hour window or if you do not show up to class. Reservations made within 2 hours of the scheduled start of class cannot be cancelled without incurring a late cancel/no show fee/loss of class. A member of our team has sent you a email confirming we have made an exception to our reservation policy and granted a refund back to your credit card.

      Please reply to the email sent directly to you if you have any questions or need anything else. Thank you!

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I did not make an error so your refund is not a courtesy. I attempted to go back to your gym because I was not allowed to cancel and I was again charged for a towel that was not used. Every time I enter the facility or try to schedule I am charged. I recorded video of the girl telling me I didn’t use a towel, she didn’t charge me, and she doesn’t know who did but can’t refund me. I would like this $2 refunded and the last month that was just charged refunded as I can’t use the membership without charges. I will attempt to upload the video. Otherwise the video is available upon request. I refuse to do business with a company who continually does this. 

      Sincerely,

      Please know that we have refunded the final $94.84 charge from 10/4/2024 for your last membership payment, as well as the $2.00 charge on 9/29/2024 for a towel that you did not use. The funds from both of these payments should reflect on your bank statement in the next 7 days. Your membership is now fully terminated, and you will not be charged again.

      Multiple ongoing issues with app preventing me from registering, joining and participating in zoom classes that I am eligible to attend enroll in as AT HOME paying member.The system requires you to register for the class. Over the last 6 months, I will register for a class in advance and then when I go to join at the time of the class, it wont record me as having registered and wont let me join. This is unfair and prevents me from accessing the service at the times and ways in which I should be able to access. In addition, it causes undue stress in rescheduling my time for fitness and wellbeing.Today, August 15th (and since the night of August 14th), I have not even been able to view the Live classes on the app. I called in the morning of August 15th and was told my the representative assuming I was doing something wrong. Then, I never got transferred to a supervisor after I explained repeatedly to her regarding the ongoing error. Next, I called again and spoke with someone ***** who did confirm there is an issue with the app and told me he would connect me to someone to correct it but instead put me in an endless loop of phone calls.I have since called back at least 5 more times and requested a call back but the call back hangs up immediately.I finally spoke to a supervisor, named *******. I asked to speak to a leadership; I was told they dont have a name and I asked to speak to someone immediately. They refused and said they are offshore.All in all, this is a very customer unfriendly and unresponsive organization that hides behind a call center to prevent it from having to address customer concerns.

      When I was put on bedrest during my pregnancy, I connected with CorePower customer service to cancel my membership. They offered that I could freeze my membership instead, and I was told I could extend the freeze if needed with 30 days written notice before the next billing date. I agreed to this option. I can't do yoga after having my baby due to delivery complications, so I used the same email thread to request that my membership be canceled. Only then did they inform me that their "strict cancellation policy" states that they can't cancel a frozen membership! Sneaky! After some back and forth, their only solution is to activate my membership, which of course will charge me, and then require me to reach out with a 30 day written notice to cancel! This means that I will be charged for a membership I can't use and will have to remember to reach out yet again to cancel. I can't stomach sneaky business models, especially from companies pretending to be about better health and wellness.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
