This is a HUGE nationwide studio that charges A LOT of money for classes and membership, and you’re telling me you can’t get enough staff to have at least one person in the front at all times? I have never been to a studio right at the start of a class time and been denied access. I totally understand and agree that safety should be a top priority, but I raised the point that I have been a member of at least 2 – 3 other yoga studios (usually small and local), and there is always a front desk greeter there to let you in at least 5 – 10 min into class. I called the studio number (by the way, all calls go to their Denver call center, even though it has a local number listed, which I HATE – obviously the local studio knows and understands much better the goings on of the studio) they said that it is their policy for safety reasons to lock doors at start of class since not many are around the front area during class at certain times of the day, there is only one person in the studio who is front desk and instructor, and class MUST be started exactly on time.

Of course the delays of public transit got me to the door at 12: 01 instead of 11: 45 as originally planned. I trekked through terrible weather and unreliable public transit to make it to my 12: 00 class. However, my second experience was completely awful. It was intimate and a kick ass class that gave me an amazing workout and I left feeling great like yoga always makes me feel.

I was really excited about a CorePower Yoga coming to Baltimore, since I have heard so many positive things about it from a friend who is a big yogi and also instructor.
