This place is very expensive.... I don't do classes, so that has no value to me. If you do a global pass (more than one club) it is even more crazy expensive.
What you get as a gym at Equinox in this area is an upscale, well kept, clean club. Minus the classes that I don't use - I would say the Planet Fitness I go to out of the area is equivalent (minus the fact PF doesn't have free-weight barbell benches) - and costs literally 10$ a month.
But - we are in this area so with that said :
The other 'chain' gyms in the area are literally -5/10 with the likes of Crunch, LA Fitness (PC), with Planet Fitness (WP) at a 3/10. I gave LA and PF a shot here locally, and belonged to Crunch for some 6 months now. If you tried to make a gym that was horrible - learn some things from them. They've thought of screwed up things you won't (Crunch: would you think of toilets overflowing with no attempt to deal with it - I doubt it). Then (at Crunch specifically) add in the 'members' yapping on phones, lounging on what equipment isn't broken, filming each other on the gym floor and bathroom (which is a joke in itself given the photo subjects), and leaving everything everywhere including gargbage. There only reason there isn't more garbage is you can't find any paper towels as they run out. There are plenty of employees - but that's a whole downstairs social club. The one thing you won't need to worry about is the English labguage....
Ā Ā Ā Read moreEquinox is incomparable to any other gym Iāve ever gone to. The atmosphere, and staff make you actually want to go to the gym. Never once has the front desk staff not said hello, or goodbye, the trainers always acknowledge you on the floor and say hello even if youāre working out on your own. The cold towels are the best :) The steam room, the showers and the locker rooms are all immaculate. Machines are never broken and the gym is always extremely clean. I have to say there is always someone there to fix any minor inconvenience. The snack shop was closing prior to me finishing my workout and I wanted to order a protein shake and the front desk without hesitation kept it in their refrigerator so that it wouldnāt melt. The snack shop was also late to open and I wanted to buy a water and the man at the front desk went right to the back and got me a water bottle. Itās really the little things you pay for and they never fail. You feel appreciated as a member unlike other gyms. Plus cycle with Jess is the best...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIāve been a member of several gyms in the last few years. Planet fitnesses, crunch, retro fitness, New York sports club (barf), blink, and this one. The premium you pay for this gym is more than worth it. The accessibility and quality of the location are second to none. All equipment is kept very clean, amenities are kept spotless and are always stocked with supplies (as of writing this, shaving cream, razors, cotton swabs, mouth wash, towels, deodorant, face and body lotionsā¦) and staff is constantly seen cleaning / disinfecting equipment. I have had nothing but great experiences at this gym and have seen results through their numerous classes. My wife has lost 30lbs and is in the best shape she has ever been, I feel great. I have to also mention how friendly and approachable all staff has been in addressing everything from exercise questions, to class suggestions, to billing issues. I have never been given the ārun aroundā here. Iām a big fan of this gym and will remain a member for a long, long time....
