So glad to be done with the year long commitment. The gym is deceiving my small, not kept clean, and very very busy. The screens on equipment are often streaky, ellipticals click save two, bathrooms are wet and gross on the main floor, and the steam room is always being hosed down in the middle of the day.
There seems to be no cap on members and the constant barrage of emails urging me to recruit friends and family to equinox prove they’re just trying to reach their sales goal.
Solid location. There are always towels and maintenance are definitely working hard. It can get super packed for popular classes and peak times (what gym doesn’t?? We live in LA) but I’ve never had trouble doing what I wanted and showering afterwards (the locker room honestly isn’t that crowded even during peak at like 5-7PM). People are really nice at the gym and easygoing. A lot of classes available that you generally don’t have to book a spot for with the exception of certain classes and instructors that are really popular. Those will book out the second the booking is available so definitely keep your app handy if you’re trying to go to one of those.
I take private Pilates here with Bella Barsimantov and she is AMAZING!!! I cannot praise her enough for being literally the best person ever. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for 1 on 1 Pilates :)
I love Equinox and it’s done wonders for my mental health and physical wellbeing, I cannot thank the employees here for their contributions. I don’t think I’ll ever not be a member!
