Equinox East 61st Street

"This equinox has a vibe that sets it apart from the rest. It’s more down to earth and spacious. It’s a true sports club. I’ve grown to love coming to this location and I have overcome my fear of the carpet in the changing rooms. This location is like fresh air now compared to the many sexy locations throughout the city."

"I usually don’t go to equinoxs in the city so idk if thats the standard here. I went to sonic meditation and the floor of the yoga room was shaking the entire time from equipment or something else on a different floor… couldn’t enjoy it. in addition it looks very old and not so nice."

"I feel oddly obliged to defend this Equinox, god knows why since I pay them a fortune each month. It does not have an Equinox vibe, so if you need that to be happy, you’re going to be upset. I love: the space to stretch and lift free weights, the roof deck, the pool (it’s a terrible pool but if it were a good pool id have to fight people for lap time) the amazing water pressure on the showers that work, the properly hot sauna and steam room, and the relatively chill vibe I don’t love: One elevator is always broken, there are problems with the water system quasi regularly, some of the showers don’t work, and I’m fat and would like bigger towels. I don’t care about: Basketball, squash, rock climbing, or outdated changing rooms. The changing rooms are spacious, that’s what’s important, and there’s all the same products as the other locations. My favorite location, along with E 92nd st."

"Lb for lb the best equinox in the city. It’s absolutely massive. No luxury finishes like other locations, but there’s nothing luxurious anyway about sweating in a cramped gym next to half of New York. This location is great for long, stress-free workouts esp on off hours. Clean and very well kept. The dry sauna is a plus too. Sad they got rid of the attendant and key system, that was a nice touch :)"
