The historic building has gold-leaf detailing on beautiful vaulted ceilings and features windows looking down onto Wall Street.
It includes a large functional training floor, multiple levels for machines and weight training, and all-glass studios. It doesn't have a separate yoga studio, so yoga classes are held in the group fitness studio adjacent to the spin classes.
The locker rooms are large, but frequently packed with people and moderately messy. The last time I went there was a soggy lint swamp outside the showers. Along with the steam room large at this location that can be found at every Equinox, the Wall Street location offers a single large jacuzzi and sauna that's shared between the men's and women's locker rooms. There are also multiple infrared saunas available to use for an additional charge. The person working the sauna told me that it "blasts away our finance guys' stress.
In the New York map of Equinox locations , Midtown isn't short of outposts — Equinox isn't blind to the opportune convenience they can provide to the throngs of midtown white-collar workers. But it's clear that most locations are meant to provide an easy place to work out near work and not much more. Only a few are notable for the experience they provide. It's hard not to compare Equinox Bryant Park to an Apple store, with its cubic glass facade jutting out of the ground in Midtown.
Unlike some of its nearby Equinox neighbors, the Bryant Park location feels spacious and warm, with a concrete and wood interior that is almost entirely subterranean. A notably high number of staff members kept this location very clean — even the steam room, which wasn't the case for most locations.
The after-work crowd was typical midtown fare, and I overheard some people talking about how they planned to return to work after the gym. Equinox East 43rd would come off as another normal midtown Equinox, except for the fact that it has "the playground.
The playground is seemingly modeled off of a CrossFit-style gym, with all the equipment necessary for a circuit-style weight and cardio workout. People who were in attendance had clearly become regulars of the class, and the two trainers who coached knew nearly everyone who was there — rare for an Equinox class. This was one of the best classes I went to at Equinox.
The rest of the gym was underwhelming. The locker rooms were nice and spacious, but the steam room was super small. This was one of the few Equinox's I've been to with no Juice Press, just vending machines. Equinox East 44th Street is conveniently located right next to Grand Central station — a blessing for some, a reason to stay away for others. The exterior matches its surrounding with a huge gilded Equinox sign that sticks out over the sidewalk.
Inside, the location felt large and had a lot of equipment. From what I could tell, it had a lot of cardio machines, some cable-assisted weight equipment, and fewer free weights. The cable machine I used felt like it needed to be serviced, and created more resistance than felt natural.
The cycling studio had a weird vibe. The class I took was nearly empty, and the instructor asked everyone to move up to the front so we could "ride as a pack. The studio itself felt cramped, and the lighting was such that it felt like you were riding almost completely in darkness.
There was no lit pedestal like there is at many other Equinoxes, adding to the slight dingey feeling of the room. The staff was super friendly, and went out of their way to try to find materials about the gym that I requested, and the Executive Locker Room an extra you can pay for at select gyms was the only one I had been in that felt worth the extra money.
Unlike most Executive Locker Rooms, East 44th's had its own steam room and showers, along with a nice looking lounge area. When I visited one person was inside, unlike the normal room, which was cramped.
When Equinoxes are good, they feel like the best gyms in the world. When they're bad, it's confounding considering the prices people pay to be there. Each time I visited, over a month apart, large mobile HVAC machines were scattered everywhere in the gym: on the weight floor, in hallways, and in the locker rooms. It was really unclear why they were there, but everyone acted as if the sight of them was normal.
The floors and locker rooms themselves were also notably tiny, with a small amount of equipment and space on each floor. The locker rooms at the East 54th location were also dirty. Towels were thrown around everywhere and bits of lint and paper freely floated around on the floor. It has large floors, wider stairs and hallways, and a cohesive gold aesthetic that runs throughout.
The yoga class I took seemed much more crowded than what I saw at East 53rd, suggesting that maybe the Midtown crowd had caught on to which location may provide a better experience. Compared to Equinox's top offerings , 53rd doesn't feel like anything special, but it seemingly provides the luxurious experience Equinox has promised to customers who won't be able to find it at the location one block north.
The Park Avenue Equinox was the epitome of the problem I found at most Midtown locations — it was packed at all times. Arriving after work, the lounge area was completely full and being used, the locker rooms were crawling with people, and the gym floor itself was overflowing. People were arm-to-arm in the stretching area, and personal trainers resorted to having their clients do floor exercises on the tile floor that was supposed to serve as a walkway that ran along one side of the weight floor.
Making things worse, the locker rooms at Park Avenue were fairly untidy. There were towels everywhere and gum in the shower. The steam room, which was huge and in the center of the locker room, contained masses of soggy newspaper and leftover towels, and the lockers were the old version where you needed your old personal lock.
Equinox's Rockefeller Center location has the layout and feel of a corporate law firm, but the exercise equipment is a dead giveaway. The location itself is difficult to locate because it blends in with the rest of the Rockefeller Center complex. Once inside, though, two elevators are below large letters that spell "Equinox," and the instructions are obvious — take the elevators.
Once upstairs, you're met with a large lobby with tons of furniture and space to relax. Past the lobby is a hair salon along with the store found in every Equinox where you can buy premium sportswear and Kiehl's products.
The locker rooms, found on a lower level, felt like an MLB locker room for bankers. Two strangers next to me traded war tales: "I'm at Merrill," one said, before the other chimed in, "It's not called Merrill anymore. The locker room was cavernous, having at least 18 showers, a sauna, steam room, and lounge chairs. The gym floor feels like a large office space, with two sides of weights and cardio connected by a hallway in the middle, a frequent layout found in office buildings.
The giant group fitness studio overlooks the famous Atlas statue, which is pretty cool when it comes to gym ambiance. Rockefeller Center gets an 8. While the facade gives the impression that the Equinox occupies a vast vault under the Paramount Plaza, the gym is actually quite small. Occupying two small floors, machines and free weights are crammed into what's essentially a fancy hallway. The group fitness and cycling studio were also pint-sized, comparatively speaking.
For the small size of the gym itself, I was surprised that the locker rooms were as spacious as other locations. The crowd appeared to be a young Hells Kitchen, Broadway crowd who were there for its convenient location. I could see myself stopping by for a quick workout if I worked or lived near there, but would never seek this gym out. Equinox does a great job of making you feel like you're entering clandestine spaces. At their Columbus Circle location, you sneak past the juice press to an elevator that takes you underground to its eye-shaped facility, which includes a pool, a sauna and steam room, and a private training space that requires an iris scan for those who pay for Tier X training.
The locker rooms were moderately clean, but there was a puddle problem outside the steam room both times I visited, where I almost slipped. Like many Manhattan locations, there was somewhat of a crowding issue, particularly in the pool. When I swam, there was a verbal dispute about lane preference, which isn't necessarily uncommon at shared pools, but still detracted from the ambiance.
Still, it can be hard to come by a pool in Manhattan, so I wasn't complaining. Anderson Cooper reportedly frequents this location, as it shares a building with the CNN studios.
He told The Hollywood Reporter that he frequently needs to tell other customers to stop taking pictures of him doing pilates. Thank you equinox for allowing us to continue our 4am club. Equinox East 61st has all the amenities of a sports club but is available for All Access members.
Despite looking like a community center from the '80s, including carpet covered seating pyramids, the location is giant, clean, and full of almost everything Equinox has to offer — including a pool, sauna, steam room, a rock climbing wall, basketball courts, boxing studio, pilates studio, yoga studio, squash courts, and more.
There's even a hair salon on the first floor. The locker rooms have an old-school feel and include an attendant who assigns you a locker and hands you a key.
The showers have slightly older fixtures and features and seemed to have modulation pressure issues, but all in all the expansiveness and cleanliness was impressive. The group class I took there in the middle of the day on a weekday felt like a fitness class out of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", full of Upper East Side housewives and grandmas.
It probably had something to do with the time of day I went, but it added to the charming vibe. The East 63rd Street location was under construction when I visited, so its basement pool was completely dug up and just a concrete hole, but despite that, the rest of the gym felt spacious and clean. The top floor was where most of the equipment was, and large windows let a lot of light in.
The architecture, along with the recently updated locker rooms, created a luxurious feeling, but the clientele, a mix of young and old, didn't come off as pretentious. In , tenants of the building who live above the gym sued Equinox, according to The New York Post , claiming that the noise from weights dropping and group fitness classes has impacted their daily lives and broke New York City's noise code.
The issue was eventually resolved outside of court. Equinox East 74th has five floors, three of which are underground. The levels fit a smart design that segments different classes on different floors, which is great for parents who want to leave their kids at daycare on one floor, and fit in a yoga class without being bothered by the group fitness class in the basement.
The design was striking considering other Equinox locations, some of which have heavy noise pollution that can do a lot to ruin a zen moment. The locker rooms were truly unique to other Equinox locations, with a boxy, nearly all-glass steam room which seemed pretty cool but toilets and showers were housed in the same section, which created an obvious smell problem. One long mirror created a sort of group vanity situation, which was a better option than most Equinox locker rooms that have a handful of vanity stations at the end of each row of locker room, which usually end up not being enough.
This was the third Equinox built in New York City, and according to customers, it's starting to show its age. Like some other Equinox locations , this East 85th Street still forces people to bring their own lock or borrow one at the front desk, which is a main complaint of the gym's Yelp page.
The locker rooms also featured older fixtures, which were clean and in working order, but the difference was still noticeable. Besides the locks, the locker rooms were nice when I visited, and laid out for space — but each time I visited the gym was nearly empty anyways.
The equipment was in good condition and the staff was friendly. One floor trainer helped me move and rerack weights after my sets. My only complaint besides the locks was that you have to walk up stairs to get to the actual gym.
East 92nd Street was another hidden gem, far removed from most other Equinox locations. Housed in a luxury tower built by its parent company, Related Companies, this Equinox spans multiple floors. On the ground level is the hotel-like lobby, which includes a lounge space and bar where you can charge your phone or laptop like I did after hiking all over Manhattan.
Up an elevator, are the gym, locker rooms, yoga studio, daycare center, and even more lounge space that truly does feel luxurious. The natural light, and new and clean interior was super impressive, and I was surprised that this gem was hidden away at the northern tip of Manhattan I usually stick to downtown and Brooklyn.
The locker rooms were average size, but the steam room was notably large. There weren't special or outrageous luxuries, but after I completely forgot which locker I had put my stuff in I blame brain fog from visiting 15 Equinoxes that day , the attendant patiently unlocked literally every locker in the locker room for me until we found my stuff.
Hard to beat great service like that. The interior of the West 76th Street Equinox looks like the inside of an orchestra hall when you walk in. Artfully shaped and warped wooden walls jut into a large lounge space, with a glass, cubic cycling studio overlooking it.
Go either way and you'll run into the sunny weight floor, stretching area, and group fitness studio, or the locker rooms or yoga studio. The locker rooms were huge and had their own lounge space inside.
The floors were a bit wet, and only moderately clean. There appeared to be an accumulation of rusty water by the steam room. Downstairs was a full and impressive spa, where they offered massages and highly technical facial treatments. This was probably one of the best spa locations Equinox had to offer. The West 92nd Street location was the second Equinox , built in , following the Flatiron location. The open streets of the Upper West Side give it a sunny vibe, and it's non-Juice-Press juice bar makes it feel like one of a kind.
For a normal-tier Equinox the location was nice. Not many people were there and it had separate rooms for boxing, barre, pilates, yoga, and group fitness. Most locations I've seen at least combine their barre and group fitness rooms into one.
The upper floor had a lot of light, and the locker room came off as standard issue — except for the fact that it had old lockers that required a padlock and didn't have a digital scale. In November , a gas line in the building exploded and blew out the front windows, but there were no reported injuries and everyone was evacuated.
When I visited a few months later I saw no signs of the incident. But there are three in both Westchester and Long Island. The yellow walls, and unserviced cable machines, along with a much older and weirder clientele who were few and far between , gave it the feeling of a hotel gym. Making matters worse, despite my best efforts, the steam room didn't appear to be working and smelled like a foot.
When I asked the front desk person about it, he said you have to spray the thermostat. The locker rooms were fine, but average aesthetically. You had to bring your own lock, but at least the front desk offered me one without me having to ask.
When I returned a month later, I realized the early morning light of 6 a. The staff was friendly and roamed around handing out towels, there was a daycare, and the steam room worked, but felt weak, probably because it was too big and cavernous to feel the small amount of steam that was being emitted. Built in and reportedly frequented by superstar Shawn Mendes, Equinox Dumbo feels like an updated version of Equinox's Tribeca location.
Like Tribeca, all of Dumbo's equipment and facilities are laid out on a wide single floor, but unlike Tribeca, Dumbo features a fresh wood and metal interior design with huge, beautiful locker rooms. On my first visit, the location was hard to fault — it was beautiful, sparkling clean, and basically empty. We traveled the ocean West, as Columbus did. I want to make sure that we as Italian-Americans get the respect we deserve as humans.
March 26, Michael Greenlar Michael Greenlar mgreenlar syr. In the same vein, Onondaga Faithkeeper and longtime educator Oren Lyons said Indigenous people have not been treated as human either. Lyons sees the endurance of Columbus monuments as evidence that the U. Gardino believes Syracuse must honor the Haudenosaunee, but not by removing the Columbus statue.
Katrina Tulloch Katrina Tulloch. History and will head to college in the fall University of Buffalo and Le Moyne College, respectively. Hakizimana said he was surprised to see all the statues of Columbus when he settled in New York. He killed Native Americans, enslaved them. And how can you discover a country where there are other people?
How can you honor him? He would prefer to see statues in Syracuse of Black historical figures who symbolize freedom, like Harriet Tubman or Rosa Parks. Hakizimana would like to see statues of Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela. Andrew Cuomo does not support tearing down Columbus statues. So for that reason I support it. He supports the creation of a heritage site in Columbus Circle to include more representation of Indigenous Peoples' history.
