![]() ![]() When my time is up I'll probably look to switch because I really just want a gym with barbells and a rack, and bumper plates (not the hexagon plates). I go to the Columbus Circle and I have been to 50th and Broadway as well. ![]() I personally don't mind staring hot blondes in lululemon's while warming up on the elliptical. some guys don't like working out in a gym packed with gorgeous women, and if you're that type, equinox is definitely not for you. my gym is crawling with a ton of hot snatch. Lastly, because I have seen so many others post on it, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the talent. I've had colleagues actually compliment how good I smell after a lunch workout thanks to good old Kiehl's! It really is good stuff. when I signed up, I got a gym bag that was literally packed with samples. I'm definitely not a big brand guy, but they really push the stuff on you, and I don't mind it. Fortunately for all of my current and previous co-workers, I sweat so bad during a work out that not showering has never been a realistic option.Īnother point I'll mention, but doesn't really mean a lot to me, is that Equinox prides itself on providing members with Kiehl's shampoo, face & bodywash. so bad that the thought of "not showering" aka "scumbagging it" has actually crossed my mind before. I've seen some terrifying stuff in NYSC's around Manhattan. they are definitely 1000X better than any budget gym I've ever been too. they offer a ton of free classes too (spinning, Pilates, yoga, etc.) at plenty of different times, so if you take advantage of all of that, maybe the $120 could be a bargain.Īnother positive that helps take away the sting of the premium you pay is the locker rooms. In terms of weights and treadmills, the equipment isn't anything extraordinary, but the place is always spotless. Still a lot bucks, but it's in my building so it forces me to go frequently and I like to think I get my money's worth. I have a corp discount, so I only pay $120 a month. Rooms at the flagship Manhattan location start at $615 per night and are available beginning July 29.I'm a member, not at the Wall Street location though.
