CorePower Yoga says it expects to open more than 20 studios in 2026, adding locations in established markets and entering new ones. The company has signed 20 leases for that year and says 18 are for new-build sites; exact opening dates and the full location list have not been disclosed.
CorePower Yoga expects to open more than 20 studios in 2026, extending its presence in markets including New York, Miami, Nashville and Southern California while entering Long Island and New Jersey. The plan matters to customers and commercial property owners because it would add locations to a chain that already operates more than 220 studios across 23 states and Washington, D.C.
The planned sites include studios in Downtown Brooklyn, Coral Gables in Miami and The Gulch in Nashville. CorePower also plans a studio in Hoboken, New Jersey, and is expanding on Long Island and in Long Beach, California. The company has not published a complete list of the planned sites or their expected opening dates.
CorePower said it has signed 20 leases for 2026, of which 18 are for newly built locations in residential or mixed-use developments. The company says its planned studios will generally have practice rooms for 30 to 35 mats, upgraded locker rooms and larger communal areas. It is also targeting sites near coffee shops, juice bars and other wellness businesses.
Some expansion has already taken place this year, according to Athletech News: studios opened in Ardmore, Pennsylvania; Long Beach and Del Mar Highlands, California; and Roslyn, New York. The Roslyn site marked CorePower’s entry into Long Island. The report says the company now anticipates opening more than 20 new studios annually, though it does not give a schedule beyond 2026.
New Studios Extend CorePower’s Reach
The plan would bring CorePower into more neighborhoods and give existing customers additional places to take classes. Its planned openings span established fitness markets and locations where the company says it is making first-time entries, including Long Island and New Jersey. The scale of the buildout also makes the company’s choices about studio size, shared spaces and surrounding businesses relevant to developers and local commercial districts.
CorePower says it is designing locations around how members use its studios before and after class, with larger communal areas and upgraded locker rooms. Those are company descriptions of its plans; the report does not provide independent evidence about member demand, expected attendance or the financial performance of the new sites. The openings would also add physical locations as the company broadens programming beyond yoga to include strength training, cardio, mobility and recovery.
A Growth Push Under New Leadership
The expansion follows Dan Lynn’s appointment as CEO in July. Lynn previously worked at Inspire Brands, where he helped oversee a portfolio that included Dunkin’, Arby’s and Buffalo Wild Wings. When he joined CorePower, he said he planned to accelerate studio growth. Athletech News reported that roughly 20 studios were in development at the time.
CorePower was founded in 2002 and has grown to more than 220 studios. Yoga remains central to its business, while the company has also tested wellness offerings that include red and near-infrared light panels in select studios through a partnership with HigherDose, and a partnership with Oura intended to use biometric data to inform class recommendations. The source report provides no results for those experiments, and they are separate from the planned studio openings.
Chief Growth Officer Abby Gilbertson described the current expansion as the result of groundwork laid over several years. The company’s stated approach emphasizes locations where it believes communities want a stronger studio experience. That explanation is CorePower’s account of its strategy; the report does not detail how it measured local demand or selected each site.
““Our 2026 studio expansion reflects years of strategic planning and disciplined groundwork.””
— Abby Gilbertson, CorePower Yoga chief growth officer
Opening Dates and Site Details
The company has not disclosed specific opening dates for the planned 2026 studios or provided a full address-by-address list. It is also unclear whether every signed lease will result in an opening on the anticipated schedule, what the buildout will cost, and how many studios will open in each market. CorePower’s expectation of more than 20 openings annually is a forward-looking company plan, not a confirmed count of completed future openings.
The source report does not provide projected hiring, membership targets, revenue, or studio-level economics. Those details would help show the expected local and business impact, but have not been reported.
Watch for Site and Opening Updates
The next milestones are the release of specific locations and opening dates and progress on construction at the sites covered by signed leases. CorePower says it expects to open more than 20 new studios in 2026 and to continue at that pace annually. Updates on completed openings will show how closely the company’s rollout follows that plan and which markets receive the largest share of new locations.
For customers, announced class schedules and studio details will clarify when each planned site becomes available. For local property owners and wellness businesses, the locations and timing will indicate where CorePower is building alongside residential and mixed-use developments.
