      Pros

      Got to work out in the beginning...then reality set in....not time to even do that with the pressure to get sales, make calls and create community outreach.

      Cons

      Company does not care about you. Worked every weekend, holiday and 12 hour shifts the last 4 days of every month. Sales goals are unrealistic. Goal had not been met at my club in over a year. Watched 7-8 Advisors come and go as well as a new Spa Manager, General Manager, Group Fitness Manager and Personal Training Manager. You come in stressed out because you cannot pay your bills and they ask you to please leave your worries at the door when you come to work. They also lead you to believe you will make $60k minimum with a potential of over $100k. It's all smoke & mirrors. I stayed one year and made $40k pre-tax in New York City and gave them my life. It burned me out.

      Avoid this place like the plague

      Pros

      membership kinda. Many staff members were great people.

      Cons

      vulgar managers, abusive workplace. Managers sleeping with managers and staff. Regional manages sleeping with club level managers. Vulgar language in the workplace constantly. It was an awful work experience. I have worked for a few different fitness companies and I was left shocked by the horrible unprofessional behavior., bully tactics, and frankly awful human beings. There are many reviews that say "great place to work!" and so on, AVOID EQUINOX. You have been warned! those positive reviews are made by the company to try and make a positive spin on a horrible place. There are MANY better places to work in the NYC area. DO NOT waste your time, effort, and energy with this place.

      The turnover tells the story

      Pros

      Free membership to the gym. Access to the rapidly growing fitness industry. Interesting and dynamic colleagues.

      Cons

      Zero work life balance. 7 days a week, 10-12 hour days is normal. Equinox works its employees until they burn out and leave. My entire department turned over within the course of a year. Very little support/guidance/recognition from management. The culture is very aggressive and punishing, with employees and supervisors all pointing fingers and laying blame when things don't go as planned, and no recognition for hard work when things go well.
