Pros

Equinox attracts really stellar people. I worked as a massage therapist in the spa, but made friends in every department. It really felt like a tight-knit, loving family. We really took care of each other. Even many of the members felt like a part of the family. Plus, the free gym membership and yoga/fitness classes can't be beat...and there's so much eye candy! I'd pay for an Eq membership.

Cons

Management is the worst. Our club was a revolving door, managers coming and going every few months. It takes ages for anything to get done. My pay was late once due to a payroll error and it took them almost a week to fix- zero sense of urgency when it comes to taking care of their people. Very little employee appreciation = very high dissatisfaction and turn over.

Pros

great place to workout but not to work

Cons

too long hours for so little pay. Day where there were no clients I didn't make a dime but still had to give free chair massages to create clientele! This was not my own business to build but they treated me like I was a work dog without care for my wellbeing.

Pros

The gym was always clean and had nice, new equipment. It also had a great view of the ocean. That's it though.

Cons

They pay their employees nothing and make heaps of money. Terrible management that changes every other month. The members of the gym are mostly very snobby and narcissistic. Some gym member made up a story about me slamming the gym equipment and reported it to management in hopes they would replace that machine because "your employee said it too." Management pulled me into the office and proceeded to write me up without hearing my side of things & believing the member. I was a trainer and teacher there. Equinox also held Friday mixers where they invited the gym members to hang out and listen to a D.J and have a bartender mix them alcoholic drinks. We were encouraged to attend these events to hand out and party with clients. I'm a trainer. Why would I encourage drinking to get clients and any smart business person knows mixing business, pleasure and alcohol is just idiotic!They are 100% money driven and greedy. Add them to the evil corporate company list!
