[History] The first CorePower Yoga studio was opened in Denver in 2002 by founder Trevor Tice with Dave Porter, Brandon Cox, and Tim Johnson. Tice had experienced firsthand the transformative benefits of yoga and saw opportunity in an emerging yoga market to make what was then a fringe activity more approachable for the mainstream. His vision was to create a strong, supportive community where the life changing benefits of yoga were accessible to everyone. Tice served as Chief Executive Officer until 2014 when the company was purchased by private equity firm L Catterton. Following Tice’s death in 2016, his CEO successor, Eric Kufel, ran the daily operations of the company from 2017-2019. In 2019, CorePower Yoga was purchased by TSG Consumer Partners. In 2019, Niki Leondakis was appointed as CEO. • Explanation of issue: Out of date and incorrect information • References supporting change: https://www.journalmpls.com/news/2005/01/a-105-degree-winters-day/ https://profilemagazine.com/2014/corepower-yoga/ http://adage.com/article/cmo-interviews/corepower-yoga-stretches-resources-maximize-branding/237721/ http://www.inc.com/kimberly-weisul/best-industries-2015-yoga-and-pilates-businesses.html https://www.pehub.com/tsg-to-acquire-corepower-yoga-from-l-catterton/ https://www.corepoweryoga.com/content/our-team 50.78.86.177 (talk) 21:43, 16 January 2020 (UTC) • Information to be added or removed: [Products and services] CorePower offers consistent class formats.

| Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Well part of this is acceptable, but there's no good reason to do any whitewashing, if there have been multiple class action lawsuits, that is a relevant fact for a neutral account (see WP:NPOV). |

This is far too corporate and promotional in tone for Wikipedia. Even the current text is straying very close to that boundary, I shall cut it down now. Popsugar is not a suitable source; nor is self.com. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:01, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Looks as though the entire "History" and "Products and Services" sections have been removed — was that the intent?Can I resubmit with a less corporate tone? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.78.86.177 (talk) 19:20, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello! I work for TURNER, representing CorePower Yoga. We have been trying to provide objective information about the company, its history and services/offerings, but our suggestions have been declined and the CorePower Wikipedia page has been cut down to the bare minimum, despite providing sources such as the LA Times, Forbes and Inc. Is there some guidance you can provide so that the CorePower Wikipedia page offers users a wider range of information? We're looking at the SoulCycle page as an example: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/SoulCycle. Thank you for your time! 50.78.86.177 (talk) 16:35, 20 January 2020 (UTC) Some proposed changes[edit]

Wiki Education assignment: Online Communities
[edit]
This article is currently the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 25 September 2024 and 6 December 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Janekraaijvanger (article contribs). Peer reviewers: Olivechine, Carmencsd, Giselleflores16.
— Assignment last updated by ConorStudebaker (talk) 23:27, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Evaluating article — Janekraaijvanger (talk)
[edit]- The article does seem neutral but it seems that there is more focus on the 2019 lawsuit than some of the main parts of the company
- A lot of missing key information about values, memberships, classes, and more
- Out of date, seems as though hasn't been updated since 2019
- Everything in current article is relevant but is lacking key relevancy topics
Evaluating sources:
- some of the sources are not full citations
- repetitive sources
- slightly out of date but are good
- come from a variety of publications
- overall there are only 5 sources tho
Talk page:
- lots of suggestions for changes and calling out misspelling Janekraaijvanger (talk) 22:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
