Equinox Park Avenue — Local services in New York

Extremely disappointed in this location. First off, I never see anyone cleaning and its always packed. I used to go to the Long Island location and honestly thought the quality of the city locations would be equal if not better. Wrong! I asked to hang up my coat-they said I need to pay $50/month for a locker. Is this a joke? I pay 300/month for an all access membership and see the trainers 5x a week. One of the elevators also just doesn't work and we were trapped in it for a bit. I told the desk and they were like "yeah we know." Shut the elevator off like really. The equipment is also very old and the trainers are ok at most. Watch the clock-within the span of 2 weeks, they tried to cut me on time 3x with one trying to end as much as 15 minutes early. Had I not advocated for myself, the session would have just ended. At one point, I was made fun of by another member (a 50 year old man) for wearing my casual polo shirt as workout attire-like really what are we 5 years old. Will not be renewing that's for sure

EDIT: The last couple of weeks have been a lot better. It's not even remotely as crowded. Have had better experiences with the trainers etc. Hopefully things trend towards a better direction permanently. Supposedly, there's a new manager who's very on...

I’ve been a member for about 3 years, mostly bc it’s the closest gym to my apartment. But I’m seriously considering quitting my membership, especially seeing more gyms/pilate studios have opened in the area. For $260+ per year, Equinox fails at providing basic gym services and charges more than double its competitors. Issues & Expectations of a gym/health club that Equinox fails at:

1. They should be opened everyday until 11pm—this is NYC, some pple don’t have time for the gym until at night.
2. Regular issues with the AC and Steam Rooms. They allow us to go to other locations when the steam room isn’t working but it’s a waste of my time and money to subway/walk out of my way to go to another location and disruptive to my schedule.
3. Wait for equipment, including massage equipment.
4. Classes are uncomfortably packed and they don’t have enough classes throughout the days. Sometimes can’t even sign up bc it’s full.
5. Showers should be cleaner.
6. Red room can only fit a few people at a time.
7. All other services and perks are extra fees.

Also not sure why Equinox is branching out into the hotel business since they fail as a fitness club. I’m sure their hotel is...

Ok, so as a disclaimer, I'm posting these reviews for my reference. I have an All Access Membership, and I want to visit as many of these as I can, to see which one I like most/would like to go to. My interests are powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, swimming, so my review will be geared towards that.

This one also falls into the lower rung of the ladder when it comes to Equinox. For comparison's sake, I have been to the following so far: West 92nd West 76th Highline East 63rd Equinox Columbus Circle

It's an Equinox, it's not terrible, but it's on thin ice.

One huge floor. But it's very crowded. I had a quick stop here, I didn't work out. But I don't think I'd want to. The cardio area is separate, and there is space between machines, but it's still pretty small (I suppose I can't blame them too much, New York is expensive, but they charge a pretty hefty sum for membership too, so, uh). No pool, standard Equinox amenities and machines.
