I am filing a formal complaint against CorePower Yoga Corporate for their mishandling of a serious and unfounded accusation, which resulted in an unjustified permanent ban from all of their studio locations.I have been a loyal customer of ******************** for nearly 10 years, attending ~100 classes. On 5/5/25, I received a phone call from a customer experience *** accusing me of theft based on an incident that allegedly occurred more than 3 months prior. I was told I had taken retail merchandise into the locker room and that only hangers were left behind. This accusation is entirely ******** no point was I approached during or after the class. No evidence has ever been provided. I explicitly asked whether any surveillance footage had been reviewed, and was told that information "could not be disclosed." I submitted a detailed, respectful written complaint to CorePowers corporate office asking for an explanation, a review of any evidence, and a retraction.Instead of addressing my concerns, they sent a brief ***ly informing me that I am "no longer permitted to visit any CorePower Yoga studio" and stated that their "dismissal decisions are final."This response:Offered no explanation or transparency,Ignored my formal request for accountability,Dismissed me without due process or recourse.I believe this treatment reflects poor business ethics, potential defamation, and unprofessional conduct. As a paying customer of nearly a decade, I should not be banned based on hearsay, without the opportunity to respond, and without any substantiated evidence. Their conduct has caused emotional distress and ***utational harm.Business Response

I use a third party app to book classes for CorePower. I have never provided card information them or have a membership. There was a $6.49 charge to my credit card. While its not a lot I dont understand how they got my card information. The transaction was also posted at 11:42PM so this is very suspicious.Business Response

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!Business Response

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.

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.

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.Business Response

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.

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 backBusiness Response

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.Business Response

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....Business Response

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 itBusiness Response

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.
