Why I'm Not Going To Give Equinox All My MoneyĪt the end of the day, Equinox does offer an elevated gym experience. If you can afford the $200 membership, it probably means you can also afford the $10 green juice post-workout. Most Equinox locations have a cafe or juice bar attached to them. Those Kiehl's products, the spaciousness of the showers - there's something to be said for ending a workout with a luxurious feeling shower instead of "how quick can I make this, some woman's hair is caked to the side of this shower and it's way too close for comfort."

There are not just a huge variety of foam rollers, but STICKS for your recovery sessions. TOP-NOTCH EQUIPMENTĪll of the machines in Equinox are so shiny and new looking! And the fact that they casually roll in water-rowers and battling ropes for a 45 minute class blows my mind. The Ropes & Rowers class was an awesome experience - one that people pay lots of money to take at boutique fitness studios like Row House and City Row where classes cost upwards of $30.Ī class like PURSUIT Spin uses new technology to create a unique experience that you won't find in just any spin class.
