Update: This is their culture to discourage members from using the gym unless they are paying for their useless trainers. You can't even tell your girlfriend how to us the machine, according to the first google review below. And the management will do absolutely nothing; just an empty sorry below this review!
Google: Equinox Fitness Club Lawsuit
Before you get locked into a $250+ monthly, 12-month contract; read a few real Google reviews, not the fake 5-star reviews from people that got a free class, nor the ones amazed by the location or it being clean. I found 10 Google reviews just in the lower Manhattan and Brooklyn locations, specifically on the trainers monopolizing the equipment, making fun of member, rudeness and overcrowding! I would add the links, but Google does not allow links.
Original Review:
The trainers stand right next to other people working out when there is ample space not too. I had to move multiple times because of a clueless trainer stand where I was working out, when I went to switch dumbbells.
And then there are all the members that monopolize multiple sets of weights for the hours, during the busy times and get upset when someone takes one of the sets.
The only good thing about Equniox is there gyms are clean except when people stand on the benches and don't wipe them down afterwards. Their app is great; however, classes can't be booked via the app for this location. After my 12-month contract is up I'll try another brand.
And the music is too loud... Even if it was my kind of music, it doesn't need to be played for the entire gym. Most people are anyways wearing headphones.
