Equinox East 85th Street 203 East 85th Street, Manhattan, New York 10028

"BEWARE OF THIEVES IN THE LOCKER ROOM. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SHOES OR SOCKS ON THE LOCKER FLOOR. YES I HAVE LOST THEM. Equinox E85 has been a fantastic gym experience for me. The variety of classes, especially under the stunning glass ceiling, is amazing. The cycling and yoga studios are decent, though the noise from weights being dropped upstairs during yoga can be a bit distracting. So I would prefer other quiter yoga studios. It would also be great if JuicePress made fresh smoothies on site. Despite these minor issues, I genuinely love working out here and appreciate the excellent facilities and classes offered. Equinox has truly enhanced my fitness."

"During my six months at this Equinox location on 85th Street, I have experienced discrimination through false complaints made against me. Despite these allegations, I was never approached or informed about them by the gym Manager. This lack of communication and transparency is unacceptable. I want to emphasize that during my time at the gym, I have never spoken with any staff or members. I go to the gym to work out and mind my own business. My gym time is a focused time I spend for my health, so I focus on that making these complaints even more baseless. It's deeply concerning that such discriminatory actions can occur unchecked within the gym environment and I urge the Equinox Holdings to address these issues promptly. I contact the manager to this location to see why my membership was cancel and is been 4 months of the cancellation and no respond from them. That’s the kind of experience Equinox has for clients paying for a service."

"I’ve had the worst experience that a women could have at the gym! Management decided to have two plumber work on a single sink in the women’s bathroom on a week day afternoon. The club never sent out an email or put up any notices on the entryway to the women’s locker room. I was literally walking around the locked room completely naked with two men watching me in silence. Feeling utterly mortified I threw on a towel and ran to the front desk to get help. A women managers try to pin the whole ordeal on the non-english speaking bathroom attendant who at the time was in the back cleaning the showers stalls. I asked for an incident report, in which she did not sign off on and it was never filed! Since then, the club has avoided my phone calls on this matter. Equinox concierge has been giving me the runaround on the matter . Anyone looking into joining East 85th location, DONT!! This is one of the worst locations, 1.Poor management 2. Everything is constantly falling apart 3. Constant staff turnover and the list goes on. The fact that I’ve been put in the most uncomfortable situation, made to feel all kinds of lows and cannot get a single phone call /email with a explanation on why this happened to me or at least a sorry is beyond disgraceful."

"The thing I like best about this gym is the yoga studio and how clean it is. The yoga studio feels private and very large. Some members get upset abt the weights dropping on the floor above us but it doesn’t bother me so much. There are a lot of stairs in this gym and the layout can be confusing but they have tons of cardio machines, weights and equipment and spacious mat area for stretching. I do get confused and get lost but it’s a beautiful space to be lost in."

"One of the older Equinox locations but had all the equipment you would need for a good workout. Plenty of cardio machines, weights, etc. Gym is spread on two floors. Entrance is on second floor which has a small retail location, a snack bar, and the locker rooms. Has two fitness studios and a spinning studio as well"
