Update: This is their culture to discourage members from using the gym unless they are paying for their useless trainers. You can't even tell your girlfriend how to us the machine, according to the first google review below. And the management will do absolutely nothing; just an empty sorry below this review!
Google: Equinox Fitness Club Lawsuit
Before you get locked into a $250+ monthly, 12-month contract; read a few real Google reviews, not the fake 5-star reviews from people that got a free class, nor the ones amazed by the location or it being clean. I found 10 Google reviews just in the lower Manhattan and Brooklyn locations, specifically on the trainers monopolizing the equipment, making fun of member, rudeness and overcrowding! I would add the links, but Google does not allow links.
Original Review: The trainers stand right next to other people working out when there is ample space not too. I had to move multiple times because of a clueless trainer stand where I was working out, when I went to switch dumbbells.
And then there are all the members that monopolize multiple sets of weights for the hours, during the busy times and get upset when someone takes one of the sets.
The only good thing about Equniox is there gyms are clean except when people stand on the benches and don't wipe them down afterwards. Their app is great; however, classes can't be booked via the app for this location. After my 12-month contract is up I'll try another brand.
And the music is too loud... Even if it was my kind of music, it doesn't need to be played for the entire gym. Most people are anyways...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Equinox Dumbo, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a welcoming atmosphere and a sense of professionalism that set the tone for my entire visit.
Raul, one of the staff members, had outstanding hospitality and dedication to ensuring I had a great experience. He was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the facilities and services offered at the club. Raul took the time to show me around the gym, explaining the various amenities and answering all my questions with patience and enthusiasm. His guidance made me feel valued as a potential member and left a lasting impression on me.
The gym itself is state-of-the-art, equipped with top-of-the-line fitness equipment and facilities. Whether you're into strength training, cardio, or group fitness classes, Equinox Dumbo has something for everyone. The cleanliness and organization of the space further added to the overall positive experience.
Overall, my visit to Equinox Dumbo exceeded my expectations, thanks in no small part to Raul's friendly demeanor and exceptional service. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a premium fitness experience in the Dumbo area. Thank you, Raul, and the entire Equinox Dumbo team, for providing such an outstanding facility...
Read morePlease don't join, it's not a gym whatsoever. There are no machines at all, only pulleys all over the place. Basic cardio you can find in a $10 gym. Lifetime across the street has 3 floors of equipments at a comparable price. Please explore them first. Here, tainers will hound you for personal $$$ after paying a good amount monthly. It's full of Gay men doing their hair and making whatever little straight guys are there uncomfortable with unnecessary nudity and of course Barbies doing their elliptical. I mean rich or middle class if fitness is important to you, you won't find it here. Also, they allow their staff to workout at peak hours who are highly underpaid and think they own the place and hence rude and condescending. You will find a braided super tall black man hitting on members, walking around aimlessly, and misbehaving. The manager will blame you if you have problem with a staff. To make you feel you are paying for what you get, they have the cheapest razors which will cut your face, and medical store shelf moisturizers. I mean it's better to throw $250 plus in the drain or give it to a homeless than these scam artists. Also no elevator for the...
