Equinox East 43rd Street

I adore this location!! It is smaller but very well equipped. I am always blown away by how clean the floors are because in some other locations the floors aren’t as clean. It’s quiet enough and in all the times I’ve been there, it was not overly crowded. There’s a comfortable number of people who work out even when it’s at its busiest, I.e. you generally do not need to wait to use another equipment. Also, all the staff and trainers are so sweet and friendly! I dare to say it’s the best location ever and now labeled as my favorite gym.

Based on the Google photos I had seen I was not expecting this location to be nice. To my surprise though the Equinox at 43rd St. is super clean, the equipments are quite new and there’s barely anyone working out there. Bonus points for having a turf, a sled and that whole functional training area (they call it “the playground”). Only giving 4 stars because they don’t have a calf raise machine, nor an weighted abs/core machine either.

Came here once and hated it. On the surface it looks nice but the technical aspects of the gym are a joke. Find me the person who approved your water dispensers so i can kindly rearrange their face. What kind of idiot puts me in a situation where i need to hold a large water canister up to a barely functional water dispenser for only drinking from your mouth? The dispenser in the locker room is awful and the ones on the floor have such low water pressure that it took me an entire 1.5 minutes just to refill the water bottle. It shouldn’t take me more than 15 seconds to refill a water bottle. Especially when i have to do it 5-10 times per visit. Make it make sense.

I have not been to this gym for 4 years nor live in the area. They have the audacity to continuously call me although I have told them many times through email and phone that I am not interested. I have asked at least 6 times to be removed from the list yet they keep contacting me. Join this gym if you want to be constantly harassed. I will say that the people who work here are friendly, especially Angel. The downstairs is a nice spot to get in a workout. HOWEVER, their SALES TEAM SUCKS. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Been a member off and on for a few years (depending on availability) and this location has been consistently clean and had great staff. I'm very glad to have rejoined this last month as it's well maintained. Started training with Raheem having originally rejoined thinking I'd just use it to supplement my personal workouts in the AM, but after meeting Raheem and chatting through my goals, I decided to give him a shot. Couldn't be happier (or sorer) after my first session. If you've been thinking of getting a quality gym membership, I do recommend checking this place out.
