The nation’s largest yoga studio chain will stretch into the Long Island market with three locations, including one opening next week.
CorePower Yoga will open a studio in Roslyn on July 18, followed by studio openings in Huntington Station and Uniondale in late 2026 and early next year, respectively, the Denver-based chain said Thursday.
"Long Island has been on our radar for years. It's a market with the wellness affinity and community density we look for, but it's never had a CorePower of its own," Abby Gilbertson, CorePower Yoga's chief growth officer, said in an emailed statement Thursday.
The Huntington and Westbury locations will follow Roslyn "because we believe in building depth in a market once we've prove, proved, proving the demand and Roslyn is where that starts," she said.
The Roslyn studio will occupy a 2,661-square-foot space at 333 Warner Ave., Suite B, at Bryant Plaza, a new apartment building with shops on the ground level.
CorePower’s second Long Island studio will open late this year in the Huntington Shopping Center. The 2,649 square-foot studio will be at 350 Walt Whitman Rd. in Huntington Station.
The Uniondale studio is set to occupy a 3,407-square-foot space in The Gallery at Westbury Plaza, at 900 Old Country Rd.
The studios will offer several types of classes, such as Yoga Sculpt, which is a heated session that combines yoga, cardio and strength-building movements, as well as CorePower Strength X, which is a 45-minute high-intensity interval training session.
CorePower’s monthly membership price will be $259 at each Long Island studio, but customers who sign up before studios open receive a 25% discount that puts the monthly rate at $194, the chain said.
Each studio will employ 35 people, the chain said.
Founded in 2002 in Denver, CorePower has 222 studios in 22 states and Washington, D.C. The vast majority of the studios are corporate-owned as opposed to being franchises.
In New York, the chain has two studios in Brooklyn and 11 in Manhattan.
CorePower opened six studios last year and three so far in 2026, the company said. Another 17 will open by the end of this year.
Yoga pulling more participants
CorePower is growing as overall participation in yoga and Pilates nationwide is having some of its strongest growth in years.
“The growth of both categories aligns with increased consumer interest in movement modalities that deliver physical, mental, and lifestyle benefits simultaneously,” the Sports & Fitness Industry Association in Washington, D.C., said in a report this year.
Business operators’ continued investment in boutique and specialty fitness studios is contributing to the expansion of yoga and Pilates, according to the association.
From 2022 to 2025, the number of Americans at least 6 years old who participated in yoga grew an average of 5.9% annually, the association reported. From 2024 to 2025, the number increased 6% to 39.9 million.
