Equinox East 74th Street 1429 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10021

"This Equinox location seems much less hygienic compared to other Equinox locations I have visited. A few issues I have noticed: 1. Some yoga mats smell weird (like feet / sweat), and I have even spotted a piece of dead skin on one mat. 2. There are brown stains on the shelves of some lockers. 3. Almost once or twice a week, I grab a towel and notice stains on it."

"Would be a great gym if the AC worked. The AC is constantly broken for months on end. Management is not helpful and refuses to provide credits even when the AC is broken in 90 degree heat. As far as I am aware, the AC has never worked properly in the cycling studio. I joined this gym so I’d be motivated to go- the heat in the gym leaves me motivated to stay home. Management is dismissive and not responsive of these concerns."

"The staff and the instructors are good. The facilities, however, have constant issues. Over the last year: - the water broiler was out for several months - they keep having HVAC issues since at least last summer. The other day I came to the gym to see mirrors covered in sweat. Cycling room is notoriously hot. For whatever reason the management failed to resolve those in a timely manner over and over again."

"Great gym however on last Saturday between 3 to 4 pm my locker there was broken in and my credit card was taken together with about $300 . I know it was taken at the gym since I checked the security cameras at Gristedes where I shopped 15 min before I came to the gym and It showed me taking the card and putting it in my wallet and in my pocket. After the gym I went to Citarela close by where I discovered the card and cash are gone. The thief rushed and ordered at Louis Vuitton a $10,178 item which was denied as suspicious by citibank and I immediately cancelled it. I don't recall anyone next to me at the locker who could spy on me setting the locker. My suspision is that a master key was used. The manager I spoke to said it has never happened before which I doubt. They do have cameras at the entrance to the gym but they will run an investigation when I produce a police report which I will. Anyway- be aware! The cut and paste response from the owner is not serious. They know how to contact me. I am a member (at least for now) and I am in their data base. They should have started investigating right when I communicated with their assistant manager. It is in their interest to maintain their reputation and prevent future thefts. At this point the police has an open "grand larceny" investigation."

"Members and trainers have been begging management to do something about how hot the spin room is for months and nothing has been done. It reached 80 degrees today during class which is borderline unsafe. Each class members are visibly uncomfortable and complain and the instructors apologize and are clearly worried about the risk of riders becoming unwell from the heat. Management - please take this seriously. It’s making the classes unbearable!"
