CorePower Yoga says it expects to open more than 20 studios in 2026, with planned locations in several existing markets and first-time entries into Long Island and New Jersey. The company says it anticipates opening more than 20 studios annually going forward, as it expands under CEO Dan Lynn.
CorePower Yoga expects to open more than 20 studios in 2026, with planned sites in New York, Miami, Nashville and Southern California, as well as new market entries on Long Island and in New Jersey. The expansion would extend the reach of the 220-plus-location chain and put CEO Dan Lynn’s stated growth plans into action.
The company is targeting locations including Downtown Brooklyn, Coral Gables in Miami and The Gulch in Nashville. Its planned first entries into additional markets include Long Island, Long Beach, California, and Hoboken, New Jersey. CorePower has already opened studios this year in Ardmore, Pennsylvania; Long Beach; Del Mar Highlands, California; and Roslyn, New York. The Roslyn opening marked the company’s entrance into Long Island.
CorePower says it has signed 20 leases for 2026, 18 of them for newly built spaces in residential or mixed-use developments. The company expects its new studios generally to have practice rooms for 30 to 35 mats, upgraded locker rooms and larger communal areas. It is also looking for sites near coffee shops, juice bars and other wellness businesses, according to the report.
Chief Growth Officer Abby Gilbertson said the expansion reflects earlier planning and investment in communities where students have shown interest in a more connected studio experience. The company also says it anticipates opening more than 20 studios annually going forward. The announcement does not name every planned site or give exact opening dates for the 2026 locations.
A Faster Pace of Studio Growth
The plan signals that physical expansion is a major priority for CorePower under Lynn, who became CEO in July. For customers, planned openings could make the company’s classes available in additional neighborhoods and markets. The company’s emphasis on larger communal areas and nearby wellness businesses also indicates that its new sites are intended to serve as more than practice rooms, though the locations and features may vary.
CorePower’s plans also matter to the fitness industry as a notable studio chain adds locations while broadening its programming beyond yoga to include strength training, cardio, mobility and recovery. The company has tested wellness technology through partnerships involving red and near-infrared light panels and Oura biometric data. The report does not link those initiatives directly to the expansion or say they will be offered at the new studios.
Lynn’s Growth Plan Takes Shape
Founded in 2002, CorePower operates more than 220 studios across 23 states and Washington, D.C. Before the latest plan, the company had roughly 20 studios in development when Lynn took over in July. He previously worked at Inspire Brands, where his portfolio included large restaurant chains such as Dunkin’, Arby’s and Buffalo Wild Wings.
When his appointment was announced, Lynn said he planned to “listen, learn and build” as the company accelerated studio growth. The new openings follow that stated direction. CorePower describes the locations as the result of strategic planning and groundwork; the specific development schedule and site details have not been fully provided.
““We’re not chasing growth for its own sake — we’re investing in communities where students have already shown us they want a deeper, more connected studio experience.””
— Abby Gilbertson, CorePower Yoga chief growth officer
Opening Dates and Sites Pending
CorePower has not disclosed exact opening dates for each planned 2026 studio or a complete list of the more than 20 locations. The report identifies several target markets and says 20 leases have been signed, but does not specify whether every leased site will open on schedule. The company’s expectation of more than 20 openings annually is a forward-looking plan; its pace will depend on development and other factors not detailed in the announcement.
2026 Buildout Moves Forward
CorePower’s next milestone is the opening of the leased sites planned for 2026, including locations in Brooklyn, Coral Gables, The Gulch and Hoboken. The company has not announced a site-by-site schedule in the source report. Further updates on addresses, opening dates and future markets will clarify how quickly the expansion proceeds and whether the company meets its stated annual target.
