I recently started going to a more pricey gym (I was doing a basic 24-hour fitness before) and I am loving it. I find that since it's more expensive the members seem to care more about the gym and take care of it more than in the gym I was at previously. The gym is always super clean and everyone is super friendly! So far the only con is having to justify it to every friend/family member that thinks the price is ridiculous. I like to think about it as an investment in my health!

It’s 1000% worth it for me. Super clean showers, they do my laundry, steam room, sauna, tons of free classes. Most people who complain about equinox are spending $$$$ drinking outside smh

I have been a member since 2003 (almost 20yrs). My friends all tease me how obsessed I am with my Equinox membership. I am grandfathered so I pay far less than others for all access. Welcome to the family.

I definitely think it’s worth the money. Another aspect I love is that there are so many locations, which was key for me due to my job. Also, if I wanted to go to the classes they offer elsewhere, I’d be spending so much more money, the schedules wouldn’t align and I’d have to go to so many random locations; no thanks! I also love how they have such a variety of classes and throughout the entire day so it’s perfect for almost anyone’s schedule. Plus, the amenities and work/lounge areas are great and everything is very clean. I really love this gym!

I go to Equinox in Orange County, and it is by far worth it. I have the Executive Membership which is a private locker room club within the club and it is never really crowded and you are able to build quality relationships and network. Also, the staff is always on point and you definitely get that exclusive club feel. The price, luxuries, accessories and friendly environment are all motivators to get your but up and head to the gym after work. I go 4-5 times a week at around 6 or 7PM. Thanks Crystal for the video!

This is such an insightful and thorough review. I really appreciate you for making this!

I would not consider $300 for gym, but after joining 24. It is sooooooo dirty, I really need to find a clean gym 😢😢

I never paid for equinox because my friend gave me a free gym pass. I went to the one in midtown East. So many appliances, razors, q tips, towels, blow dryers…it’s very hightech. Almost felt Japanese esque. Something I found interesting is that the showers didn’t have curtains; they had glass doors so you could see people showering….so yeah working out as a guy was awkward lol

I feel like for that price they should throw if a few free massages, classes, laundry services etc even for the basic package option.

also a sf post-grad lifestyle channel and im glad i found this video bc I was looking for a new gym! thanks for being so thorough :)

If you want the water hotter in your apartment have a plumber come over and adjust the mixing valve in the shower handle. Some areas adjust it for a kid safe temperature, but you can set it higher. I’m sure there are some videos on it if you want to be handy and try it yourself.

Honestly the weights being put back in the CORRECT spot would be worth the membership for me.

Used your referral in SF! Thank you, love the union gym

Equinox is the only gym I would go to. I joined the gym in Sept 2016, before that I tried a private trainer, too pricy, workout in my apt complex gym, not working. I hated workout so much till I joined Equinox, everything is perfect for me. It's clean, straightforward membership cost, no hidden fees, and unlimited group class options for every exercise I needed. I used to take 1-3 group classes every day for more than 3 years till the Pandemic. Then I moved, there's no equinox around me. Now I don't even know how can I continue the workout. It's just impossible for me without equinox, I'm lazy, not athletic at all, I'm a neat freak, I need to have all access to everything, boxing, HIIT, Barre, yoga, dance, there's no other gym that has that combination. The one I went to is in Orange county sports club, there were a lot of events, and a sense of community, we hung out all the time. Really really miss my gym.

Overconsumption is the wildest thing to me. $270 for a gym!?? People are starving. But pay $270 for something you can do for free outside by walking/running.

ahhh your matching brown set is everything!! the group fitness classes sound so good, I can't believe how many options they have!

Crystal! Nice video! I just tried Equinox in NYC. Very nice, but yeahhh depends on if you can warrant the price. 😁 Keep up the great content!

I really appreciate this review. Thank you!

I love equinox ... I typically workout at 5am, but I love getting that quick workout in...

I love the Sports Club SF location! I used to teach yoga classes there. Union St is bit too small/crowded. But damn now I'm in NYC and the monthly fees are $320-350 per month...

You pay for the environment and experience. You pay to play

I live in the bay area in Fremont ca and moving to San Ramon and they have one there and I want to check it out for a change anyone have feed back from that location ?

Thanks for the great review!

Awesome video thank you

Does classes include in monthly price?

Great video! Definitely helping me convince my boyfriend it’s worth it!

How much extra is the spa/massage/facial stuff?

You can also check for a corporate discount

After 24 hour fitness with the barrier to entry being so low, there were so many low class foringers there with no shame just dirty nasty people and homeless people. Equinox is complete heaven and worth every damn penny.

What a great facility.

I want the actual tour... 😫

Equinox is worth the money if you can afford it, and take classes. The facilities themselves aren't great. I take two or three classes a week.

If you have a membership can you take a friend who doesn’t have it ? Or would they have to pay their own membership?

You look like the neurosurgeon on greys , Amelia

Do they have free weights? Deadlifting platforms? It looks private, but are taking photos and videos not allowed? I love that my gym enforces a no camera policy

Worth it. PERIOD NOTHING TO DISCUSS BABY!

Are there yearly dues?

Gotta love the mental gymnastics people are playing in their heads to justify paying $200+/month at a, “luxury,” gym. Just because you pay a lot to go somewhere, “exclusive,” doesn’t mean you’re going to be getting a better workout than you would somewhere else. To each their own though I guess…

James was reprimanded for telling on the creepy judge who bothers the girls

Where do you sign up? Online or in Person?

That video showing the creepy judge harass women there isn't something I'd be comfortable with, I might even scream and press charges on the Equinox people allowing harassment from a dirty old judge.

is this the be?

I have better luxurious shower at home? I don’t go to do shower, but pilates picture looks old school.

El equinox sera bonito todo pero es caro

People complain about "reg" gyms being too crowded & they want more privacy when working out. But the asshats wont get a home gym & will still come to a public more expensive gym 😂😂

What if I don't care. Also, what do you do for a living

😅

lol you live in apartment but pay 300$ for gym????

Hello 🌸🌼💗

Stopped watching after you said $255 🤣🤣🤣

Too much talking just show gym we can figure it out

What a rip off. I pay $10 per month and get 80% of what this gym offers. I can see paying $100-$150 MAX would be worth it.

Less talking and more getting to the point and showing the gym

That gym is so sus… worse gym ever
