⚠️ BEWARE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL CLIQUE ENERGY HERE - 🚩JULIE B— NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR DIVERSE OR LGBTQ+ PEOPLE⚠️
I’ve practiced at many CorePower locations and love what the brand stands for, but this studio feels completely unsafe and unprofessional.
The first time I came in, another student’s wallet was stolen during class. Her cards were being charged while we were still in the studio. The locker area is supposed to be secure and only staff have access — which makes the whole situation feel suspicious and like they are in on it. The staff laughed about it and didn’t take it seriously, showing zero accountability.
The second time, in Julie B’s class, the instructor singled out a Latino LGBT student for “breathing too loud,” even though other students (including myself) were just as audible. It came across as bullying, discriminatory, and completely against CorePower’s values.
Julie didn’t demonstrate proper technique, offered little guidance, and seemed more focused on gossiping and showing off to a group of regulars than on actually teaching. The lack of professionalism, training, and inclusivity was alarming.
This studio has serious cultural and ethical issues that go far beyond one bad class — it’s an unsafe, cliquey, and hostile environment that does not represent what CorePower stands for. I truly hope corporate investigates and retrains this team before more students are driven away.
