I’ve had such a great experience so far at this Equinox location. The staff and other members are very friendly. Nay and Joseph were especially helpful getting me set up with everything I needed =)

Expensive but so good for me! Like this gym a lot. Showers clean most of the time. Steam room great. A lot of deferent classes, I wish there is something more boxing options. Equipment always there, no like the others gym that you have to look for parts because someone misplace it. Personal training very expensive but fun & they teach you a lot.I can recommend. 👍

Amazing classes with top notch instructors. All the employees are great, front desk is always so kind and accommodating, the manager Nick is the best and always makes himself available for questions/concerns. Such a great break to come down and unwind in the middle of your day. Well worth it!

I was an Equinox member for over five years. Ive used ~20 different clubs all over the city at different points. Im leaving my review at the Bryant Park location because its the one I used the most in the recent past, but this review applies to Equinox overall.First, specifics about the club:1) Its in the basement, so if you want views / natural light while youre working out, this isnt the club for you2) The facilities are nice and modern compared to many Equinox branches, though not as fresh as some of the newest locations (Dumbo). Still, it was always one of my favorite clubs to work out in.3) It is a nightmare at peak hours, at least in the ladies locker rooms -- think long lines for showers and hair dryers. After 9am, or if you can sneak your lunch workout in a little early (or late, just avoiding the showers right around 1pm) youre better off.The reason for my low star review is how disappointed I am in Equinoxs cancellation policy. As someone who was a member for over five years, I should easily be able to cancel my membership; Ive given this place enough money. Instead, when I went to cancel I was told cancellations dont become effective for 45 days, information that is not available on their website or in their FAQs. (I also then found out I could have cancelled in the app / over the phone, even though everything on the website says you have to cancel in person.) I have moved out of the city and have not used the gym since moving because I cant fit it in around my commute. All Equinox is doing is nickel and diming me at the tail end of my membership, which feels like a terrible way to treat a loyal customer. I have a sour taste in my mouth over what should have been an overall positive experience.

I decided to try a different Equinox tonight as I wanted to walk around a bit rather than go to the location near my apartment. I walked into the gym at 9:04, they close at 10 on Fridays, and as soon as I step in the door the front desk employee rudely exclaims to me “We’re closed. We closed early tonight.” With absolutely no reason for why they are closing an hour early or even apology for the inconvenience. Simply saying “sorry” before her very curt statement of we’re closed would have made the whole situation a lot better. I will not be back to this location.

Friendly and attentive staff, relatively spacious floor (for a Manhattan Equinox), great cycling and Pilates studios. Probably the best of the Midtown EQs. Spacious locker room by any standard.What prevents me from giving Bryant Park five stars is 1) it’s below ground, so no natural light—but good use of plants and warm lighting allows you forget that, and 2) the juice bar is a Juice Press (which has been squeezing out better juice/food options at older EQs) and not a very good even by JP standards. All they have is low protein ready-made 😖

Not the best gym for weightlifting: only 3 power racks, and they generally close at 9. They also treat you like meat, not humans: I was charged 45 days in advance for canceling. I know this is in the contract, but the point is that they dont care about you. They also charge $50/guest. Go to the nearby NYSC gym instead, I hear much better things about it.

Great yoga class. I really liked how the teacher encouraged people to get the toxins out. I love the eucalyptus towels. Its always a great shower with nice soaps and shampoos. Nice facility and employees.

Aside from the stellar facility and amenities, the staff here is so great.I recently left behind a make up bag in the morning and, when I came back to see if I could retrieve it in the evening after work, the staff on hand said they did not have or see it. They then mentioned that they would relay the information after I filled out a report.The next day I received a call that was just as excited as I was to hear that they had found my bag and under what circumstances they were unable to find it the day before. Love this place and the people!

This gym is far too crowded. Its impossible to have a decent work-out unless you go at lunch-times (but even then it can be very busy). The membership fee is far too high for what you get. My advice - shop around for nearby alternatives (e.g. NY Sports Club etc).

By far nicest Equinox in midtown. Brand new machines with tvs, large locker rooms, and plenty of space!

Not my normal equinox and my bf zachary justus just had a dreadful experience here with the management. He was doing a superset of push ups and bar pull downs - was doing his push ups when someone tapped me on the shoulder to ask if they could work in - He said yes but asked if they would mind not tapping me mid push up and woah they did not like that. She actually said youve told that to the wrong person Im a manger here. You can leave! Clearly taken aback by this vitriolic over reaction told her he wasnt and want to talk to the GM. This other manager said fine but she was coming in the room with. Walked him like a bad boy up to the principals office and would not leave until asked to do so by her supervisor. After describing the scenario the GM said that He was wrong - Bryant park is a particularly busy gym and people had to act as community members here. I grew up with siblings and I know how to share. I also know you dont touch someone without their express consent even if youre in a hurry to use a pull down bar. I also dont understand why if the gym is that frantically busy there is not a policy asking staff to not work out during peak hours. Or hey why doesnt staff be nice and amenable to customers paying quite high membership fees. Or hey why not use some delicate customer service techniques when interacting with your membership base instead of acting territorially.

Its a nice place partly because Equinox provides dress towel and kielhs body care and hair products, which are really nice.

Best location in Manhattan so I hope you all stay away- Ask to speak to Shiva for all your membership needs, he is the best.
