$215/month for me, but I think there are discounts for students, certain companies, etc. Many daily fitness classes with motivating and knowledgeable instructors and a slick app to reserve your spot in class. Spin, yoga, barre, pilates, TRX, dance, boxing, and more. Nice showers, eucalyptus steam room, Kiel’s toiletries, free parking, always clean, helpful and hard working staff. Definitely recommend.

Equinox is the worst company ever, do not go to this gym. I was in a car accident 2 months ago and cannot workout, due to physical injury. I sent them a copy of my physical therapy referral, doctors note and proof of the accident and lawyer info. They still refuse to cancel my membership because there isn’t “proof my injury is significant enough” unless I have a doctors note stating specifically I cannot go to equinox.NEVER sign up for them. You’ll be stuck in your membership even if you’re in a car accident and in severe muscle pain constantly. I cannot even believe them, horrific customer service

I love the classes and a cleanGym. It is too expensive for me. I loved it I’m NYC but on a budget now and it doesn’t make sense. But good for you if you can swing it.

Pros: biggest gym in the neighborhood (the Y has cut back on footprint and hours since Covid), unlimited free towels, spacious showers and locker room, free kiehls (though I wouldn’t recommend the shampoo/conditioner for textured hair)Cons: not enough benches, full of college students, closes too early, mold in at least 3 areas of the gym (that doesn’t get addressed even when reported)

This place has gone downhill. The ceiling in the bathroom is sagging with mold and water damage. The tiles in the showers all around the drains are chipped and missing so you can cut your feet, people leave a bunch of used disposable razors all over the showers, the baseboards have peeled off in the locker room, the stretching mats are coming up at the edges and collecting gross dirt, the front desk staff are always too busy chatting to check you in. It just feels like they know they are the best gym in town and have totally stopped trying. In addition to all this it is extremely crowded- just does not have a premium feel at all. They comment that they appreciate the feedback but don’t correct the issues 🤷‍♀️The classes are amazing - the instructors are great.

The gym is ok, the management staff is the worst. A really bad experience with this place.

It's a good gym. A bit too expensive for the services but the equipment is great and parking is good, too.

Closes super early (9pm). Steam room is gross.
