I don't ever comment on anything, and I know it may not mean much coming from a stranger on the internet, but I just wanted to say this.............. I know your video views may not reflect it right now, but the content is extremely on point. Your production/editing is top notch and you're naturally funny/passionate about the subject at hand. Quite frankly your video quality is indistinguishable from any top level content creator with millions of subscribers. I have no doubt you're gonna break through in a big way, just a matter of time....stay the course brotha, you're in the right lane.

Lifetime is the way to go. Been a member since 2008!

out of the 4 or 5 equinox reviews I watched this is by far the best, well done

Thanks for such a great comparison/review of both spots 👍🏿

This. This is exactly what I was looking for in a review. Thank you! And nice job on the edit. Very smooth.

Thank you for this video! I have not seen another review so in-depth. This made me subscribe. 👍

you have no idea how much this video was needed… appreciate your services and keep up the great content, g.

Thank you!! Needed something like this because I’ve been looking to upgrade my gym since the cheaper ones near me have been lacking

Thank you so much for sharing. I have two gym memberships including Equinox. Will keep two memberships at this moment.

Thx! I signed up with lifetime using your link

great video! I watched the entire thing. My priority is my health and looks as well. Its a keystone to feeling gooood.

I appreciate you putting in the work on this video. I’m trying to see if an equinox is beneficial to my lifestyle right now and this was super helpful. ❤️

Shervin! Thanks for this thorough review. I'm going to be joining Life Time and really hope your referral works! And hope to bump into you there at some point :D

LifeTime has more than shakes, their cafe is amazing, at least the one I visited at Wall Street last night. Plenty of actual food options including breakfast sandwiches. And plenty of snacks, they have a great variety. I also like the beautiful and quiet lounge areas, wine bar, and the recovery area, with massage chairs, plus the whirlpool in the locker room. Lots of awesome amenities all around. It was a tough decision since Equinox does have more locations but it’ll be cheaper at LifeTime for me and I get nice pools and can take swim lessons, which was a huge deciding factor.

Great video, certainly joining lifetime

I just joined lifetime and it has been excellent. The vast majority of my friends are still equinox members which has actually worked out well because we can use each other’s guest passes when we want a change of scenery. To be honest, the most important element in deciding gyms is almost always location. If you don’t live or work near a lifetime gym, you are better off with equinox, no question about it. However, if location is comparable, then I give the slightest edge to lifetime. Thank you for this excellent review. I look forward to following your channel.

Sir, you ARE the tall attractive man going into Equinox. So glad this video has introduced me to your channel and content. Great comparison, thank you!

Hi Shervin! Have you ever visited the Lifetime Minneapolis in the Grand Hotel? I used to work there for a couple years and at the time, the "Gym Area" was awesome because it felt like a very luxurious condo/hotel lobby gym (dark wood paneling interior). The gym floor was small but I loved the feeling of that space and haven't experienced another gym like it.

Awesome video

I really like this video. I like how you break it down. I am a beginner, but when I get more used to working out and build stamina, I will sign up for one of these gyms and use your referral code. Thanks for making the video both entertaining and informative. I understand why you join both gyms. I am a vitamin person and I currently go to Blink fitness, but it's near free for me because my insurance covers it. I'll look into one these some day. Health is wealth!

Great video!

Thank you for this video, I actually have an interview to work for lifetime and I have thought about this decision for a very long time! I live in Oklahoma and there is another gym that is in Tulsa here called Genesis, and it looks amazing as well. I can't wait to test the waters with lifetime, I've heard nothing but good things about what the business stand by.

Staying with Equinox! Thank you for this video. 🤗

Awesome video 🫶

Good video, there is a Infrared sauna in the spa at Hudson Yard Equinox but it’s not included in the membership.

Awesome Video 🌟

First video ever watched from you and loved it! Do you know how I can get some sort of guest pass or like a trial period for Equinox? I’m so curious about that gym. I’m in LA❤. New sub🎉

Equinox midtown locations I’ve been to with Saunas are The Rock (Rockerfeller center), 50th and Bway and Columbus Circle! 😊

i pay about 15 dollars a month for a gym right now including group lessons, and almost always empty during the week in the afternoon!

I am a member of lifetime fitness. I love it. I used to be a member of another gym in NJ for 26 years but I had to cut my expenses.

My priority would be relaxing whirlpools over saunas but granted- ive never tried a sauna, maybe 🤔 once many years ago. But it strikes me as not relaxing but uncomfortably hot, it scares me (?)

There is a sauna in women's locker room at Hudson Yards and at Columbus Circle. I joined HY for the sauna and I never use it, steam room and saunas have the same effect, I researched online

Before covid Lifetime in my area used to be 24hours. Now it closes at midnight!

Team life time … check out dumbo location in Brooklyn pretty dope

You must be reading my mind. Equinox member here and I’ve been wondering about the other one. Ha!

The new Lifetime in Dumbo is awesome! Highly recommend. They are opening two new locations in Brooklyn and more in Manhattan

I belonged to Lifetime Fitness (single membership). it was good at first but then they raised the rates way too much. But if have a family (with dual income or one parent with a high income), I think its a good deal, will have access to pools year round (indoor/outdoor), classes. enough equpiment so you don't have to wait to use machines. It was very clean and spacious, including the locker rooms. I belonged to a hotel gym for a few years that was ok, but the locker room was trash and too small (you would have other members bumping into you while changing, fighting for bench space).

I currently have a membership with Lifetime in Chicago, thinking about switching to Equinox. This video might help me make a decision

I don’t know why because for some reason I thought there were any lifetime fitness here in nyc. I used to go to the one in Las Vegas.

Great video, thanks. With that thing around your bicep you look like you’re about to shoot up after you finish filming

I always wanted to join Lifetime Fitness but, its not near me and there's limited locations as well. Equinox is much worse and the equipment is damaged. I might have to make the drive and join Lifetime.

Theres a sauna in equinox Rockefeller location….

I live next to Equinox in Connecticut. I worked out there for awhile.. I mean I felt literally good working out. I felt like I could breathe, the people were perfect... then I switched gyms fora bit and I swear to you I didn't feel perfect anymore LOL.. just something about the gym in general LOL

Compared to 24hour fitness, its worth every dollars especially in SF. Every 24hour gym in San Fran is straight up dirty as FUK! People stripped down to their underwear without showering in the saunas, steam room, and jacuzzi. Assholes with long hippie hair leave the jacuzzi with hairs floating in water. Everybody walked into the saunas and steam room with shoes as pre-workout and post-workout routine. Floor are littered with muds and wet paper towels. The minimum wage workers don' give a flying FK. They don' enforced cleanliness in the wet area at all. So yeh... paying 10 dollars a day to work out at Equinox is worth every dollars.

Hudson yards equinox have sauna. Its in the locker room

Lol. I was actually a supervisor at lifetime fitness. I never worried about cost because I had a free membership for myself and my children!! I no longer work there, so I'm looking at the cost like WTF. lol. Everyone loves the BB shakes.

So I've been a member of Equinox since.... 2002? I had a corp discount from a bank and it was $75 for one location and then I just kept it. I really do love it. I work in Nomad so I did see the Lifetime open up and it looks huge but... I love how E's everywhere in Manhattan. I can even check into to E 63rd or W76 before a nyrr race on the weekend *they open at 7am, race starts at 8am normally. It's just the best feeling not to leave your stuff at the race start and at a secure locker. Also I know from NJ ppl that Lifetime is a big family gym and I don't want to work out near kids or be in a pool near kids. Sorry that is just my lifestyle and very very happy that Equinox enforces an 18 and over policy. If Lifetime forsakes it's kids being everywhere, then I may take a tour but until then no thanks. Also E design of their locker rooms and their facilities are beautiful. Lifetime looks like like a glorified HRC. I also believe E has a better trainer education policy than any other gym. I heard Lifetime doesn't have the same quality. It's expensive, but you pay for what you get. As Lifetime adds more NYC gyms it's membership price will be more trust me. For 30+ gyms, they are opening a Nomad E to make that the 4th gym in the neighborhood alone, the price seems pretty good. If you do classes, the unlimited classes, they have real barre they own Soulcycle so the cycling is comparable. You need to compare the fitness classes. I mean their unlimited fitness classes is worth at least 100 a month! And you don't need to do PT if you just do the strength group classes.

I prefer to go lifetime fitness because I able to get to go in nationwide

Hey Can you tell me the source for hot cold therapy and huberman Sauna study? I experienced that in a school gym but was never able to replicate it in commercial gym but would be interested in how a sauna helps to improve longevity.

You don't have to book a lot at equinox. I think that was during the pandemic in the first year or something. You just get your barcode scanned from your phone

I'm a member of both with an executive membership at Equinox. You showed two of the locations that I go to. LifeTime is next door to me and Equinox (by my job) is activated for no reason since we are still working from home. To me Equinox = Country club luxury. LifeTime = A 5-star hotel gym. Convenience is important but Equinox's equipment is superior IMO. LifeTime has flies in the summer + broken machines, limited machines and machines that can't be adjusted for my height. Re. gyms in general, I've gotten used to waking up later and working out at home. I don't need to get undressed/dressed/travel and for that, I may quit Equinox. Plus swimming at Equinox requires sharing a lane with people vs. reserving one lane per person at LifeTime. However it's limited to one hour at LT, which frankly sucks. BTW, in the Equinox exec locker rooms there are saunas.

how is parking different?

Equinox is bae

After Equinox decided to move all the nicer, newer locations with pools up to Destination level, which is $300, I was so disappointed. Lifetime is a better value if you’re interested in pool access and lessons, something I think Equinox is lacking.

HI Friend. We can't reach you by email. The prompt is wrong. We would like to invite you to participate in the Slevio Timer test. How can we reach you? Thank you very much

Equinox has dry saunas at the sports clubs, but not the fitness clubs (at least in my experience).

There is a equinox in Houston but I will never use it. I do not live in Houston and we have a lifetime and kinetix here in Sugar Land. I very rarely go to Houston even Alief.

There is a lifetime in Irvine lakeshore now

thanks for sharing how it looks inside the gym and i always wanted to see whats inside the gym on hudson yard but they wont let me because they want to check if i have my health card which i feel is wrong for them to do that and working out in the gym should be for everyone who want stay healthy regardless whether they took the thing or not

I think Lifetime has the better equipment all around.

Hood gyms are the best. F all them high end gyms.

What kind of gym closes before 9 p.m...good grief

How Equinox wants $2,500 a year and only open on weekdays is beyond my comprehension. I dare you to find one gym in the New York area that isn't packed with treadmills and dance lessons wall to wall. Some of us actually want to workout... EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A STRIP MALL!

Equinox only makes sense if you take a lot of their classes.

Why 80-90% men? I noticed that same thing at Lifetime 23rd st, which is my local club. Having more women around would be inspiring, at least to me.

Which gym had the rock climbing???

In a nutshell, Equinox with its limited equipment is for being seen, and Life Time is for serious lifters.

SoapBox is a great brand FYI

"Esss-oh-tear-rick" Not whatever you said lol

Lifetime is the best by far! Love the Sky Manhattan and Westchester location. Equinox is small, packed, more expensive, not as clean, not that much amenities even at the Hudson yard location, they trap u in a contract for a whole year also they’re not that luxurious in my opinion. Lifetime is PRISTINE.

What about prices???

8:35 is this guy seriously doing a gym comparison review whilst eating ben & jerry's chocolate chunk ice cream? lol

How can we get day passes?

WDYMM HOW MANY TIMES ARE U GONNA GO TO PHOENIX ARIZONA

Do you still think the equinox at Greenwich has the hottest guys after these six months ?

Lifetime has less than 8 locations, easy to put a sauna in each one. LOL, Main reason I won't ever join Lifetime is the kids. I love how Equinox makes it over 18. If I wanted kids around me I would procreate or hang around my relatives' kids.

Don't see future fit link

Me, a financially irresponsible Life Time member feeling very attacked. p.s. The newer Dumbo location is the best Lifetime in NYC. 8 squat racks!

Lifetime has better class schedules IMO. I really like their heated yoga.

Guy was right. I’m not going to a Yoga class if it’s full of men. Hell Naww

this guy is 100% Indian actor amir khan. I thought it was actually him.

500 $ month?

lol but seriously Crunch fitness is the best overall gym in NYC. It's a weightlifters gym

Life Time for me, Equinox too pretentious in most locations. LT is all inclusive for all walks of life.

This man starts eating ice cream midway lol

Prior to Covid, most Lifetime locations were 24hrs/7 days a week. Now in 2023, Lifetime still isn't 24hrs and they continue reduce club hours while still charging me the same rate. Probably time to cancel my Diamond membership.

You are complaining for the check in your like 35 act your age

The amenities seem really nice but luxury gyms have always kinda rubbed me as emasculate.

I hate lifetime with a deep passion.

Nope. I’ll pass. Got ripped up at Planet Fitness for only $22 a month.
