      On 10/12/23 I signed up for and attended a free yoga class at CorePower Yoga on *********, ************. After my class it was evident that my f**** pack (holding my automatic car keys, wallet with cards, cash and giftcards, rings and IDs) was stolen, along with 2 other students' belongings. Seeing as this was my first class, I had just put my belongings in the cubby at the main entrance thinking it would be safe there. I was not informed that there was a lockers in the bathroom where I could use the provided locks to secure my items. Placing a sign up saying that CorePower Yoga is not liable for lost or stolen items does not actually mean they are not liable. CorePower Yoga has continued to show negligence on their part, not taking ordinary measures to protect students' goods especially with knowing how severe of an issue this is with the establishment. Similar to the many stories I have seen online- before the class someone signed up for the free class and waited around in the bathroom until the front desk was clear to steal peoples items. This seems to be an ongoing issue for CorePower Yoga studios nationally, so I am wondering why they are not taking more preventative measures to protect customers goods. I am looking for some kind compensation of lost goods seeing as though this incident could have been easily prevented by CorePower Yoga if they appropriately staffed the studio and/or properly informed newcomers of ways THEY can secure their own goods seeing as though they did not care to do it themself.

      Hi ******,

      My name is ****** and I am one of our Senior Specialists on our Customer Experience Team. I wanted to follow up with you regarding your feedback and outreach. Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your experience and feedback with us. We provide free lockers and locks for students at all studio locations, and we highly recommend locking up any valuables while they are left unattended in the studio. While CorePower Yoga is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items, and while we cannot provide any camera footage to students, we do provide any camera footage to police, so we recommend you file a report with the local police department as a next step.

      Thank you again for your time and understanding in this matter


      Thank you again,

      I reject this response because as I stated this was my first time here and I was not informed of the locks that could be used along with where I should lock my goods up. Through my brief browsing of the internet I have found many cases where this incident has occurred under your watch showing that although your company has been made aware of this issue, no changes has been made to your system which proves negligence on your part and is an actionable offense. The lack of security stationed ************ desk combined with the uninformative introduction to the class are the bare minimum preventative measures that could have been taken to ordinarily protect students' goods. A Police report has been filed on my part so there is nothing else more on my end I can do to rectify this situation. Seeing the recent privacy violations Corepower Yoga is being accused of I would hate to add more to the bad PR your company is currently receiving.

      oday, I made an attempt to terminate my membership at CorePower Yoga, with the intention of it ending at the conclusion of the current billing period, which happens to be just a few days away. However, I was informed that they have a 30-day cancellation policy, which is a practice I've never encountered before in all my years of attending various studios and gyms. I believe this policy lacks transparency as it's not explicitly disclosed to individuals when they sign up, and it can be easily overlooked within their terms and conditions. I've been informed that I will be charged a prorated amount on November 11, which I'd like to avoid. My primary request is for an immediate cancellation of my membership. In my opinion, this business practice appears questionable, and I would not recommend CorePower Yoga to others. I intend to advise everyone I know to avoid this establishment.

      I was wrongfully charged $15 no show fee on Oct 18th. **************** refused to take ownership of their systems issue i think as I did attend the class & did not refund the wrongful charge.Horrible customer service asking names of students who attended as if I have access to their roster.This happened more than once in the past & is a shady practice of not informing on the charge actually occurred (no email).Unless a customer keeps checking his/her account, no way these sneaky charges can be caught.Corepower is a greedy, shady money making machine without ethics built on the sweat of hard working yogis who teach, pretty sure they are underpaid as its private equity capitalizing on any & all means to make as much money.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      1. ****** has got it wrong that I did not check in. Infact, I did show the the teacher checking in my booking confirmation from my cell phone.

      Corepower needs to take responsibility for not training its staff properly, for wrongful material misrepresention of me not attending the class & for sneaky/shady business practices of unilateral  charging without  sending an email on the charges or providing in writing a charge occurred. Its all behind the back. If you don't look at the bank statements, you have no idea a charge occurred. They do not send an email they charged $15 for probably & exactly this reason. 

      Its shady practices because corepower does not explain the charges across hundreds/thousands of classes. I like this to change. Its only fair to expect an email firstly informing you were charged $15, secondly to explain the reason they think (no show, etc), thirdly provide proof of roster, whatever as they clearly got it wrong & I happen to catch it this time.


      Sincerely,

      I have attended this studio loyally for almost 2 years now, but have decided to cancel my membership due to a neck injury and other financial reasons. I was told that I needed to cancel 30 days in advance and was charged $119.20 for this month. I feel that this is totally unfair because it does not say on the cancel membership section of the website that this is their policy- its more hidden. I dont think its fair to pay this amount when I shouldnt even attend due to my neck.

      I attempted to cancel my membership with CorePower Yoga today, affective the end of this billing period, which is in a few days. They informed me that there is a 30 day cancellation policy. I have never experienced this in my life of attending many yoga studios. I think this is a very shady practice, and it is not expressly told to anyone who is signing up. It is very easy to miss in their terms and conditions. I have been told that I will be charged a prorated amount on October 7, and I do not want to be charged. That is all I ask for. I want my membership to be canceled effective immediately. This is a very shady business that I would not recommend to anyone, and I will be telling everybody I know to steer clear of them.

      It appears that CorePower yoga is making services expire which I believe to be against certain laws (see gift card expiration laws, Audible lawsuit, etc). This pertains to their prepaid class pack changing policy to now expire if not used within a certain time period going into effect 10/3. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************

      I am another individual convinced to sign up for Teacher Training, with the expectations of auditioning for a role at ********** Yoga. I signed up May 2, 2023, graduated 18 August 2023, 1st audition on 27 August 2023, didn't make it and did not know the extent of my results until after two weeks when I approached ********** to find out what I did incorrectly. After discussing the matter and with emails I found out what I needed to work on, agreed with the evaluator and set a second audition date for 17 September 2023. Prior to this I was employed as a SET, and resigned with an email to the SET Coordinators that I had auditioned for another studio and they offered me a teaching position, this was on 30th of August and on the 31st I received congratulations via email. After being scheduled for a 2nd audition I received an email from the studio manager - *******************, *********, **, that I did not give notice of a resignation and that she has placed my record as "job abandonment". The email goes on to question whether or not I received that offer or if I left due to not taking my feedback of "not now" well, so in lieu of that opinion, which is not accurate, she informed me that she has canceled my upcoming audition and that I am not a good fit for **********, in any position.I paid $1,549,49 for Teacher Training where I was informed after the program, you are allowed 3 auditions. I also paid an additional $112.00 for the month of September and I have not gone back into the studio as now I am uncomfortable.The sales pitch is you pay for teacher training and you get hired as a teacher. I am not the only one who has had this experience with **********. My end result is to be refunded the monies I listed in full since I can no longer seek a position in the studio or any of CorePower's studios which was part of the sales pitch that I paid for.

      I am a long time student at Corepower in Del Mar and ********* studios for over 12 years andI have noticed things happen since the studio open back up after Covid, that I simply cannot ignore any longer. This needs to be escalated to the manager at this studio ASAP:1. CELL PHONES IN CLASS. Every single class I've been in there are at least 3-5 phones. Ladies texting, laying them next to their mat, but ... people having an actual full blown conversations. ANY cell phones in class are unacceptable. This weekend there was a lady texting during hot power fusion.It's become a problem because it's been allowed for the last year in Del Mar. Please have teachers make announcements to STOP cell phones in class.2. PEOPLE LEAVING CLASS EARLY. This is another Del Mar specific problem.B. MANY teachers say at the end of class: "if you need to leave class early, please do before savasana"Why are we inviting people to leave early and making it ok? NO.3. TOWELS. (Of lack thereof should I say). This is mostly an issue with guys, but not exclusively, NO TOWEL IN SIGHT, and people leave a sweat lake around them for us to ****** through, Its SO gross, and so unacceptable. Please make towels mandatory.4. OVERCROWDING CLASSES. Specifically 9am weekend classes. I counted 53 students recently at a 9am saturday class. FIFTY THREE!!! It was so insanely over crowded, people left. Mats were touching. It was uncomfortable. Please ask the teachers to stop allowing more than the alloted amount of students in, its making it miserable for the rest of us and is breaking the fire code.#5. TRASH MUSIC. Teachers are playing ******** "Bitch better have my money" song. followed by many other explicit songs. IN YOGA?! Why?I think if the manager and assistant manager were more involved in attending the classes these things would get noticed quicker.Look forward to hearing back from you on how we can remedy this ASAP.-Thank You-

      I placed my bag in a locker and secured it with the lock that the studio provides. When I grabbed my bag from the locker after the workout, I realized my stuff had been rifled through and items were stolen. I took all the necessary precautions to ensure my personal belongings were safe and secure.

      Hi *******,

      My name is ****** and I am one of our Senior Specialists on our Customer Experience Team. I wanted to follow up with you regarding your phone call with us on 9/13/23. Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your experience and feedback with us. We provide free lockers and locks for students at all studio locations, and we highly recommend locking up any valuables while they are left unattended in the studio. While CorePower Yoga is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items, and while we cannot provide any camera footage to students, we do provide any camera footage to police, so I recommend you file a report with the local police department as a next steps. While we do not have any cameras or footage of the locker rooms, we typically have cameras pointed toward the main entrance area.


      Thank you again for your time and understanding in this matter.

       

      With Gratitude,
      **************

      Complaint: 20604636

      I am rejecting this response because:
      this does not even begin to address the issue of employee theft of a customer. I would like to clarify that I did use the lock that the studio provides. I am very concerned by this theft because I used one of the studios locks and it was obvious that my bag was rifled through. The items in my bag were in different spots than I had originally placed them and the two skincare items that were taken were things that could go easily unnoticed. For example, I had my ID, credit cards, and cash, which were still in my bag, but the cash was in a different spot from where I had placed it. You are the fourth person to lecture me about the importance of using a lock when that is exactly what I did. If I left my stuff in an unlocked and unsecure place, I would have just taken the loss as my fault and responsibility since I neglected to take the necessary steps. It feels incredibly violating that I could take all the precautions to keep my personal belongings secure and still have my stuff stolen. I do not feel comfortable going into a facility where locked belongings have the possibility of being taken. I think the appropriate response would be to refund the cost of the items that were stolen. I do not think that filing a police report, where there is not even camera access in the locker room, would do anything to resolve the situation. Its the principle of having your things stolen and your personal privacy violated by a staff member. A conversation needs to take place by management to the employees about integrity and not stealing a customers personal belongings. I will never be stepping foot into this studio or another Corepower Yoga studio again. 


      Sincerely,
