What People Are Saying About Equinox

Featured Review

The Scene – With its ultra-clean, minimalist décor and its topnotch staff, Equinox raises the bar for chain health clubs. At consistently spacious facilities, the design team continually maximizes natural light and highlights organic architectural quirks. Equipment from industry standards like Cybex and Hammerstrength are paired with high-end machinery--including one specifically designed for the company by Life Fitness. Even the piped-in music (which varies from room to room) has been thoughtfully programmed. Locker rooms are uniformly spotless. – – The Workout –…

awful, con artist, and overpriced

by goldenstar79

chris serrato, never told me i was signing a yealy contract for about 2 thousand dollars, this is fraud and crunch and la fitness are almost nicer, this is a great place to see out of work celebs and pornstars, go to train if you really are rich, or be real and go to 24 hr fitness

Spa Spa Spa Spa

by bubblesla

I come in the early AM for my work out before work, like 730-ish.

I noticed that the spa opens at 9am and thought I would reward myself with a massage.

They had a great deal - 9am - $90!

Cant go wrong with that; put me in good spirits for work!

  • Pros: Spa Deals

Equinox has a great spa also

by sk1017

This is a great, upscale gym with the added convenience of a beautiful spa. The view from the spa is amazing. You can see all of L.A. from Sunset Strip. Plus, it's nice to be able to go to the spa after a workout for a relaxing mani/pedi. Jamie is awesome. You can get massages and facials, too.

  • Pros: Clean, nice staff, view, spa
  • Cons: Pricey

Cozy gym with awesome crowd and amenities

by helloplaya

This gym seems to be smaller compared to Westwood. There are classes I can't take because the Main Studio is really bad as far as the layout having a big pole stuck in the middle. But, when I could get there in time, I would make myself go take classes taught by knowledgeable instructors -- mind you some of them are pretty popular and you will have hard time getting through. In terms of the gay crowd, I don't think I care too much. I just ignore them you are here to work out not to pass judgment to anyone unless they offend me but so far so good. I don't plan on hanging out with them after class. Sorry dear! The crowd here -- gay or straight -- are still in much better shape than other Equinox locations I have found and def. one of the pros. The music instructors play in class is always awesome and really get your heart rate up.
