The people are nice, the classes are great. I really like the trainers and the variety. It would be great if they taught real weightlifting since their average demographic is middle aged women who need to maintain muscle mass. The assessment will scare you with a full body scan immediately so you'll buy insanely priced personal trainings from a 25 year old with limited EQ. (Good personal trainers are usually in independent local gyms). Just smile and nod. The gym is very cramped. I'm assuming corporate thought the average height of people was 5'2". As a person with legs doing side lunges, it is out of the question with a full class. read more

This gym is an amazing I love going in the morning. It is great so relaxing very transformative and positive energy. Everyone is so friendly. The classes are great. read more

This gym was talked about being prestigious by my sibling so I decided to check it out not only was it musty as soon as we got in but they have diversity issues in the front they have the white people that are Caucasian speak great English greet you well are healthy and thin now you go to the back where they clean and it's all only Hispanics, and they are all speaking in Spanish so the clients will not be able to distinguish what they are saying. From my perspective no one was actually cleaning the machines or gym equipment to be honest some of the tissue box metals were even empty some even in the floor no one picked it up the entire time I was there. They were just chatting it up back there and racism at its finest. Secondly I'm 4,9 " and none of the machines I was able to use correctly they are not petite friendly machines not only I could not find none to assist me but I even had to ask someone who was working out to help me move the seat down not even instructions posted on how to use it or adjustments This is discrimination to short people like myself I was angry that no one came to see what was wrong I could not use the machine what so ever so I quit. Not only a few 30 min of grabbing the walking machine i had my hands holding the machine my hands became insanely red and puffy itchy and I felt the machine was dirty and or too many harsh chemicals in the wipes that we the paying customers have to use in order to clean up the machine I had just used makes no sense. I had to go wash up immediately, I went to take a shower and got a towel the towels had black hair on it my hair is blonde this hair was so thick and it was disturbing to see how dirty these people had the "clean" towels. Ugh proceeding to walk to the shower there is a cleaning lady there with all her huge cart which takes up more then half the hallway I cannot even pick which stand to shower in if she's cleaning it or pretending it to, she was on the phone on speaker on a personal call talking about her vacation to her friends being so inconsiderate towards guests and clients, I don't think there should be cleaners during the hours of operation I was not able to pick out a shower stall I wanted I had to ask her which one she had already clean and she got upset when I asked her which one was actually clean she rolled her eyes at me this late 60 years of age lady mind you on the phone like I was bothering her not only to give me dirty stall with blood stains all over the door but shampoo and other bodily fluids were present this was the stall she claimed was "clean" not only was the floor slimy meaning they do not clean it I had to put a towel down just so I don't catch fungus from the filthiness they had. I didn't have no idea where the shavers were and this lady with the audacity to still be on her call acting like she's on vacation already her name is ANA. She was the most terrible encounter, finally after my shower I stopped itching and my redness from my hands fading again another sanitary issue. The shampoos were all basically gone and they were looking like no one has refilled them in weeks. Some with the pump not even on correctly. Finally I was leaving and the manager was in front not only did my sibling go up to him but she made this gesture like it made me feel uncomfortable like if they are in a secret relationship. To my awareness my sibling dates the manager and he lets her clock in and out even if she is not working or in the premises. Why is that ? To my knowledge it is illegal for a manager to date anyone especially with a lower position, working in the same company due to corporate rules like bossing her around giving orders when she doesn't want to do something. I'd like to know why he's always calling her when she's not at work and if she doesn't want to go to work she will just notify him and he will allow it even if she has no reason to be calling off simply just laziness, I'll be the witness to that. Lots of sketchy things going on here I wouldn't come back here at all. I do not recommend it. Place was terrible. The manager here seems like he's got quite a set up benefiting himself and only but himself. Not only did I hear the dryers broke down several days after I was there but imagine that I knew everything looked half ass when I walked in nothing compared to LA ATHLETIC CLUB read more

Hands down the best fitness and wellness experience in Pasadena. Equinox Pasadena completely raises the bar -- from the spotless facilities and luxury locker rooms to the energy of the trainers and staff who actually remember your name. The saunas, steam rooms, and recovery amenities make it feel more like a high-end spa than a gym. Every visit feels like self-care, not just a workout. If you're serious about your health, performance, and lifestyle, this is the place. Worth every dollar. read more

Equinox Pasadena - Equinox Pasadena -- next-level training in every detail. - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

This gym has the best class schedule and best instructors. From strength classes like MetCon and Stronger to barre classes like Rhythmic Sculpt and Off the Barre, they have something for everyone. The instructors remember your name and always have great routines. There is also plenty of equipment to choose from like sandbags, different sized weights, and resistance bands. The staff is also super nice when you walk in and when you leave. Parking is validated in the nearby structure for 2 hours which is plenty of time. There is a steam room and eucalyptus hand towels which are refreshing. read more

Equinox Pasadena is a great gym overall. The instructors are the best part and the classes are where the money is worth it -- they're super friendly, motivating, and really make the classes feel inclusive for all fitness levels and body sizes. That goes a long way in helping me feel less self-conscious when I'm there. The energy in the classes is always positive and encouraging. The gym itself is very clean, which is one of the big reasons I don't mind paying the premium. You get unlimited classes, hot showers, and lockers that are usually in good shape (though they can get messy when it's busy). My biggest complaint isn't with the gym itself, but with some of the other members. A handful of people just don't clean up after themselves in the locker rooms, which can be frustrating in a place that's otherwise so well-kept. You have to pay for parking but they do validate, which is nice, but it only covers two hours. If you're planning to be there longer, you either have to pay the extra or move your car and re-validate. All that said, if you're looking for a super clean gym with awesome instructors and a wide variety of classes, Equinox Pasadena is worth it -- just know you're paying for that premium experience. read more

Out of all the Equinox location I've visited, this is one of my least favorite. The whole gym just seemed so rundown and it really need a major revamp. If you come here for classes, I say it's worth visiting but that's about it. I'm not a huge fan of their bathroom. It feels dirty stepping in their shower and they don't clean it as much as they should. This particular location just doesn't give you that luxurious Equinox experience and they don't have a working space to just use your laptop or relax on. I say skip this particular location and go somewhere else. Parking is 2 hours free with validation. read more

I've been a member of Equinox for four years and have just decided to end my relationship with the clubs. It just doesn't add up, even though I do use the gym 5-6xs a week (I'm mid 30s). My membership for SoCal which excludes some LA locations is now $300/month and has climbed about $20 per year consistently. I started as a member in NYC when I lived there before moving to LA and now frequent Pasadenas club. While it's a nice gym with its comforts, I do not think this location and a majority if not all of LA locations are worth the $300/month price tag. Particularly as someone who is coming to Eqx as a strength trainer body builder, there are no real classes for that and the equipment is basic and lacking. It's essentially mostly all geriatric equipment. There is also zero coworking spaces in the LA locations, a perk I found to be a huge benefit in the even nicer and co-working adaptable spaces in Manhattan that truly make it feel like a "club" experience. The Manhattan clubs also have restaurants or lunch counters, none of the LA ones do that. I think Eqx has to take a good hard look in the mirror over the experience it offers in LA vs NYC and see that they truly have to step up their game in SoCal to retain customers at this high value. Currently, the cost does not match the offering. It feels like it's subsidizing its other exclusive clubs in other locations. Also, Pasadena lockers have no guards on any of their door hinges on any of their locker doors. The screws are all sticking out on every hinge, while in other locations they are drilled in all the way and have a guard to protect them from nicking your clothing or your expensive gym duffles. Every single article of clothing I put in and my Dagne Dover duffle have been nicked repeatedly by these lockers. A small detail that again irks me at a place that charges so much. The other thing that is particularly offensive about this location, is that parking is not free. They only validate for 90 minutes, and should you go over you have to pay $1.50, if your workout is over two hours, which is pretty standard considering that you would steam and shower, you are paying $4.50 for parking. Even if you're only working out and steaming and showering and paying $1.50 per workout for parking, that's an additional $30-$35 per month on parking alone for this location. It's inexcusable that you're paying this high club rate and they can't even negotiate free parking with the parking structure. I've gone ahead and canceled my membership and joined another gym in LA that has equipment I've never seen in Equinox that make my workouts feel much more targeted and exciting. These clubs in LA are just not worth it anymore tbh and I hate to admit that but it's true. Eqx, step it up. You're losing the gym game in LA and your user experience feels antiquated, senior, and ineffective for today's young professionals interested in pushing themselves even harder at the gym as a lifestyle. read more

My friends and family give me lots of flack for being a member here -- "It's too expensive." "It's basically a hotel." "It's not worth it." Maybe, but this place has changed my life! I love the classes (try James J. on Soulcycle for the most unhinged cycling class of your life). The staff is friendly. The yoga instructors are amazing and consistent (hello Chris Reed & Jennifer Walker!). The locker rooms and gym floor are super clean. The spa massages are fantastic (I recommend Christopher Riviera). Equinox has totally reset my expectations of what a gym should be. Still, I admit that the $220/month fee is an ongoing molestation of my bank account, and the price goes up every year. Earlier this year, in a delirious state of cost-cutting and financial resolution-setting, I woefully cancelled my membership. Equinox offered a 6 month grace period to return, no fee. I went back to my old gym (YMCA DTLA). After just a week of enduring broken machines and the super gross YMCA locker room, I ran back to Equinox. Like they say -- "It's not fitness, it's life." And I just might be stuck with them for life. read more

Nice gym with easy access. Doesn't have hoops or a hot tub but it's nice . Equinox is a great spot for digital nomads who work on the go .

This location is pretty interesting. It's on the top floor of a building. The parking lot to this building has a Tesla Supercharger, so I had my car charging, while I ran on the treadmill. Then, once the car was charged, I moved it elsewhere, and then went back into the gym to lift weights. The staff was really helpful with parking directions, and greets you with a smile. This location has a wonderful central workout studio for classes. Also, areas for weights, and cardio, of course their locker rooms. I like this chain of gyms more than other chains because the equipment here is very well-maintained, and the gym are rarely so busy that you're waiting around to get a gym or a particular set of dumbells. read more

Equinox Pasadena - Gym - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

Super spacious and well kept! Brightly lit and logical equipment set up It would be amazing to have more co-working space! read more

My first review stands as accurate. I will never rejoin but if you decide to, it's almost $250 a month and goes up every year. Also, they require a one year commitment or you're penalized and of course, they DO NOT remind you or notify you when you've finished your year! My first sign was the increase in the monthly and they would not reverse it when I didn't go for a month and was paying the higher price. They kept that one month as if it was so precious to them I didn't even go to the gym. I paid my whole year but they want their $237. I'll consider that a bargain to know not to do business with them in the future. You might also consider what I've told you in these two reviews before jumping into financial transactions with them. read more

I guess I'm never fully awake each time I've been to Equinox over the past year! As many have stated, this location is a bit small but honestly the best option in the SGV. It also helps that it is within walking distance from home. Originally joined with my pledge bro as we noticed more and more aches and pains over the past few years. Definitely not cheap as I still held onto my 24 hour membership at $49/year but I do appreciate the professionalism of the members here. Don't have to worry about my wallet/keys left in the locker while I work out (first handedly witnessed lockers being broken into at a 24 hr fitness location in WLA). Love the usually cold eucalyptus towels while using the steam room. The gym isn't usually too busy and weights/machines are usually open early in the morning so that I can get in/out fairly quickly before I start to work. The locker room is usually tidy but have noticed a few times where other members leave towels lying around after being used. Will likely continue my membership though my bro will likely move his membership to Life Time fitness as he is forced to go into the office 4x a week. read more

This isn't my usual location, but thought l'd share my thoughts as compared to other equinox locations in the socal area. Pros: - gym layout is simple and good - clean - front desk staff are nice - this is I believe the only location that offered the Pursuit cycling class (utilizing the studio projectors and games that put you into teams against fellow riders in your class.. but it seems like now this offering is removed from all locations) - Updated cardio machines that have apple fitness pairing available - really bright inside with a lot of windows Cons: - Parking is in a structure across the street connected by a bridge, and as a first timer, I parked in the incorrect underground garage. Not intuitive! - the locker rooms are nice and clean, but EXTREMELY small. Like tiny benches, cramped changing areas, the smallest steam room out of any locations I've been to. - The gym floor looks a bit outdated read more

Nice location, awesome front-desk service, and all the things I needed: strength, cardio, & yoga equipment, plenty of space / not too crowded, lockers & showers, in a good location, with parking validation! Cool to learn that this is the first-ever Equinox location in California! read more

been at this gym for 10 years and while it's a nice gym i found some of the fitness group instructors rude and attitude! Also they were charging me $140 a month when i joined and every year the raise it $10-$20 with no real justification. so this last hike took me to $240 a month! i finally inquired with the concierge and they were no help - basically saying pay it or go somewhere else this is a non negotiable. Come to find out other members told me they were paying $180 a month when i asked the concierge they said we don't comment on other members prices. I felt 0 loyalty from Equinox and finally had enough rude treatment and bad service so i quit my membership! You also have to pay for parking in the paseo . Overall this is not a $240 a month gym not by a long shot ! I do not recommend joining here . read more

Big fan of the Equinox in Pasadena! There are convenient rooftop superchargers located in the attached parking garage that bridges to the gym, which also makes for a pretty epic elevated entrance with the charming style of gargantuan architecture Old Town Pasadena is known for. Similar to other Equinox gyms, you'll have two hours of free parking upon validation. Concierge is always welcoming and very friendly, which is hit or miss across various locations. It isn't the most spacious gym, but it makes you feel like it is. There's a decent number of equipment here and plenty of cardio machines and plates for lifting. My only suggestion would be obtaining the all-in-one assisted pull up/chin up/dip machine I've used at other locations. When you're finished working out and have some time to kill, there are plenty of places to eat, grab coffee, etc around the area. read more

They rearrange machines what feels like every other week now. They get rid of stuff all the time. They just added 1'new machine nobody uses in place of many popular equipment. This place has gone really down hill and the membership fee keeps going up It's about $250 to be a member only at this specific location. I will niss my friends and the staff but I can't put up with the BS of the way equinox treats you Sad read more

Bumping my rating up to 4 stars bc the causes for the 3-star tantrum I indulged myself in appear to have been solved! I believe there has been a positive change in the women's locker cleaning protocol. I haven't recently experienced any of the complaints I had previously (roped off showers, early sauna closing, rows of open locker doors) near closing time, although I have been in near closing time less often. I got a few complimentary trainings / Equifit assessments sent my way after losing my trainer, and it looks as if that's a pretty typical and accepted resolution at Equinox - my boyfriend has also gotten some free PT sessions as a result of his own trainers changing their place of employment. I've been pretty happy with the gym lately, and would love to give 5 stars, but... I'm hoarding my complete approval for the day they open a red light therapy room ;) read more

Equinox is only worth if you prioritize at least one of these things: the price as an actual motivator, the cleanliness, the quality of the classes, or the amenities. If none of those things really appeal to you, I'd go elsewhere. The good (for me): Honestly the cleanliness is why I don't drop it despite it being a steep part of my budget. Never been to a gym so pristine and it makes a difference on my comfort level here. Chill environment. Mandatory vaccinations (but they don't impose getting the latest boosters which I think is fair) Not too hard to avoid crowded times. Convenient location. Great amenities and helpful staff. Easy parking. The bad: Truly disappointed with the yoga studio's lack of AC. Definitely made every class involuntary hot yoga. The price. You could possibly find a boutique gym with pretty good amenities at a lower price. Also the tier to have access to more locations is a little frustrating especially when they don't offer that many to begin with. This location is a bit on the smaller size so when it's crowded it's almost catastrophic inducing. No pool at this location. Limited weekend hours. The really ugly: This is likely an equinox wide problem and unfortunately a dangerous part of the fitness industry. Personal trainers are not dietitians and shouldn't give nutrition advice. Equinox should instead offer a one-time complimentary dietitian e-service. My trainer, while lovely and effective in helping me gain strength, gave me a daily calorie deficit that bordered being at my TDEE. I take full responsibility for not setting better boundaries with her, but part of the program should be to ask if clients had a history of eating disorders. Texting your meals to your trainer to critique you, being told to only eat certain foods, and setting up harmful food rules have all been proven to actually worsen a diet. I actually saw my weight drop when I increased my calories and ignored her advice (and not felt judgement by just lying about what I ate). Despite my gripes with the personal training (which i stress is a problem with the fitness industry as a whole), I do think equinox is worth the money (depending on what you value) and this location is well-run. I also like how the crowd is here is respectful and there's more age diversity than expected. Glad there's also an option to freeze your membership for 3 months and pay a relatively low fee. Take a visit, wait till there's a promotion to skip initiation fees, explore the classes and amenities here, and if you do personal training, set your boundaries because the trainers are respectful. read more

I was staying in town for a long weekend and decided to check out this Equinox because I needed to foam roll badly and thought I'd do a running class while I was at it. The upshot is I'm glad this isn't my home-base gym because if it were, I would have cancelled my membership long ago. 1. The strength classes here book out almost immediately. The front desk staff was nice enough to let me into a Precision Running class as a guest but couldn't do the same for the Metcon/Athletic conditioning ones. I didn't really understand why until I showed up in person and saw how minuscule the group fitness studio was. Seriously the tiniest space I've seen and I've been to the Manhattan locations where space is truly a premium above all else. 2. Some of the clientele, particularly the older ladies, are downright snobby. I was in the locker room after the running class, about to grab a towel for the shower, and had to navigate around two women chit-chatting on one side, because there was someone else changing on the other. As I passed by, one of them snarkily said to the other, "So much traffic today." Oy vey. 3. The treadmills are hanging on to their last thread. I don't understand how Equinox can charge so much for membership and not provide more higher-end Woodway treadmills with the rubber treads. The one I was on made loud, banging noises and was rocking back and forth badly, to the point I wanted to quit in the middle, out of safety. 4. Which brings me to the most meh running class I've ever taken. The instructor was not upbeat and I was put off by how he spent a lot of his time talking to one or two people, I suppose his favorites, and sauntered by in a blue moon to see how the rest of us were doing. I've taken some great PR classes where the instructor tries their best to encourage and cheer on everyone, and this just wasn't it. 5. I went during the busier hours but the amount of gym bags I saw crowding the weights area was annoying. If I have to basically treat that section like an obstacle course to avoid tripping on a strap, something's off. The locker rooms are right there. 2-hour validated parking. read more

This place sucks so bad. I hate that the pretentious people here and the mediocre trainers make you feel freakin weird - I am an athletic individuals and pretty good looking too since I'm a 6'2 male model... So I get a lot of stares ... BUUUTT Michael Jimenez a personal trainer here at this location always give me dirty looks and follow me around the gym every time I go to this location. It is freakin werid that he acts like NO ONE! can seee him when the gym is so freakennn small. ANYWHOOOO! The best Equinox locationssss I went to with great facilities, quality people, and a big gym layout would be the SPORT LA (Sawtelle) STUDIO CITY and CENTURY CITY LOCATION. -It will save you some therapy and your mental health. Update yelp keeps removing public photo of Michael Jimenez. The photo I am posting is public information!!!Itsssss on the Equinox Apppp. YELP!!!Stop removing the picture. He is an employee here.

Equinox Pasadena - This is him!! - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

The front desk ladies are ALWAYS happy and friendly. I love seeing them every time I come to work out. The ladies locker room attendants are ABSOLUTELY delightful and are always working hard to maintain the cleanliness of the locker rooms. Super fun to chit chat with them. They offer Khiels products in the locker rooms. CONS: Star off for pricing. It is outrageously overpriced for what you get. The cafe is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. The spa amenities are double-triple what you can get at an actual spa. The pilates class are hilariously priced, something over $100 for a single class. I took a complimentary pilates class. WORST pilates class I have ever taken. A complete waste of my time and a work out. I take stars off for the nasty people that come here. The gym does NOTHING to combat this. The amount of barefoot people that walk around the gym is disgusting. The people that come here are either 60+ or they are young (20-ish) and immature (wearing next to nothing and leaving nasty snail trails on everything they sit on). Taking pics, which I hate because Im actually working out and don't want to be photographed or in a video. Users of the equipment don't wipe anything down, ever. They bring gym bags on the floor all the time. I've nearly tripped on multiple occasions because their bags are on the floor. They cant seem to understand that there are actual lockers that can hold their stuff. The variety of classes is lacking as well as the availability of classes. I haven't run into any issues with classes being booked. The children's area is STILL closed, which is meant to be included in the pricing of this gym and was a selling point. They do not factor that into pricing or some kind of discount for those WITH kids, which feels like a scam of some sort. The ladies locker room is a whole other experience. I've never seen such nastiness from women in my life. Sitting bare ass on the benches, the counters, the steam room...just a breading ground for bacteria. They spray perfume at times which triggers migraines for me. The way some of these women (the same ones that walk around barefoot) treat the steam room is a wonder it still works. After the steam is released they then continue to trigger the sensor over and over to make more steam. They then DUMP the eucalyptus water on the rocks. Makes it so hard to breathe. Zero class or decorum. I've chatted with multiple other patrons of the gym who usually go to other Equinox locations. They have ZERO good things to say about this location and also find issues with similar grievances (amenities offered and the crowd that works out here). They only offer 2 guest passes a year. Super stingy. OVERALL: Once the contract is up, I highly doubt we will renew at this location. This is not "luxury" read more

This was the first Equinox in Southern California. An interesting choice, since it attracts a lot of east coasters who were familiar with the name when they were in New York City, but I'm willing to bet a lot of people from further away made the effort to come here as well. Obviously, there are several more locations to visit now but back in the early 2000's, this was the place to be for fitness. I will admit I haven't been here in years, so I couldn't remember the parking too well (I was under Paseo) but I was told where I could park where I could simply cross the bridge and the location would be there on the right side. Validation for parking was for two hours. General Manager Gina runs a tight ship here, and it shows. I've been to pretty much every Equinox in the city and although this is the oldest, the place is in better shape than some of the gyms that are only a few years old. The locker rooms were very clean, the steam room actually WORKED, the showers had great water pressure, and the towels weren't thin and falling apart. As for the equipment, I was only on a treadmill for this visit, and although it wasn't one of the Woodway models, it still functioned for what one would need it for. As typical with Equinox, the shop and juice bar are located up front where one who is not a member has access to visit these two public sections within the building. Quite far from where I normally am, Equinox Pasadena was a nice oasis further from the regular hot mess that I'm exposed to on a daily basis. If you're a Southern CA access member or above, check it out if you're in the area- read more

From the outset, this equinox does not look as flashy as the other ones, but I love it just the same. I've tried other gyms, from chain gyms like 24hr fitness to bootcamps, and the difference is how sparkly clean everything is. It has 0 of that gym smell, and staff are visibly cleaning at all times. The locker rooms are amazing -- lockers that hold everything, nice clean showers (that water pressure tho!!), and has pretty much everything you need: Kiehl's products, hair dryer, towels. It's great because you can go to the gym, shower, and feel ready to go out. But all of these are just bonuses. What makes Equinox worth it for me are the classes and the level of instructors. There's a wide variety of classes (cardio, barre, pilates, bootcamp, boxing, dance) at different times of the day, so you can try different ones at different times. All equipment is provided and are always clean at the beginning of class. I've tried ClassPass but just prefer having all different classes under one roof. I try to go 3-4x a week, which at the end of it, makes it more affordable than buying boutique fitness memberships. Service-wise, the front desk people are always so cheery and lovely. Ryan was my membership advisor who took me on a tour and helped me sign up. He is very nice and seems to truly care about his clients. Also loved that he wasn't pressuring me to join, but instead was just helpful the whole time. If you are on a fitness journey and love taking a variety of classes, definitely worth it. read more

Truly understand what they mean when they say it's not a gym, it's a lifestyle. Always clean machines available, high end products at your disposal and top quality customer service. Special thank you to the manager here, Gina Wong. She always goes above and beyond to help out! On top of her game and quick to rectify any situation. Definitely an asset to the company read more

It's hard not to appreciate a complimentary vinyasa yoga flow courtesy of my friend's guest pass. This Sunday morning session really brought the heat. My favorite part though was learning new ways to stretch and strengthen my hip flexors. I felt so relaxed by the end of the session. I've never had an instructor that went into so much detail about anatomy or the technicalities of the poses. The Pasadena location isn't the most impressive, but has a decent amount of amenities. It was really convenient to have 2 hours of validated parking and to be able to walk over to the gym via the overpass bridge from the parking garage! If there were an Equinox closer to me, I'd certainly consider a membership! It's nice to have a variety of classes to choose from! read more

Went in today to see they switched to inferior body/skin products. Very disappointed. You pay the $300/month for the convenience factor of being able to get ready at the gym before work/going out. Now if I want to still do that I need to bring my own items? How can anyone justify paying that price for luxury and be given trash instead GA smells like floor cleaner and is absolutely horrible. I emailed Gina and Madison. Waiting for a response so I can cancel my membership read more

Joe at the Earthbar is amazing. The Erthbar was closed for employer lunch break, so they were not making protein shakes. Even though Joe was done with his shift, he stop his workout to make my protein shake. That is the best customer service ever. Thanks Joe, you are the best! read more

I tried this location once and for sure ll not go back again, very old and small, look like a la fitness

Honestly, I am extremely fed up with this facility. And thus, I am canceling my membership. I am not a needy or entitled person, but for the $200/month membership fee, the service here is absolutely atrocious. Specifically, the maintenance of the facility. If something breaks or is no longer in working order, there is no sense of urgency whatsoever to fix said equipment and/or amenity. It is an ongoing theme here, and again, for the price you pay, there is absolutely no excuse for this. I have been more than happy with the personal trainers, but to reiterate, the lack of attention to maintenance issues here is deplorable. Equinox team, please start addressing these issues with more urgency and have some sense of accountability and pride. read more

Definitely would not recommend this location. Went in to get a snack for my toddler. Everything was going great and we were having a good time. Then, he was wandering towards the back area and I was trying to pull him away. The front desk worker just rudely said "ma'am, you guys aren't allowed back here." Very unwelcoming and condescending vibes. Wouldn't come back here and wouldn't recommend friends/family to come here. read more

Equinox Pasadena is like a full sundae at Fosselman's Ice Cream Co. The DTLA location is like a diet Coke. It's drinkable, but who actually wants a diet Coke? So if you're in the SGV, Pasadena location is A+. parking: validated parking at The Paseo since the Equinox is located in the Paseo. In case it matters, parking clearance is 6'8" (for those with trucks) layout: more than 3 squat racks not including smith machines. There is a glute drive machine (for hip thrust) and the layout just makes sense. Upperbody cable weights/Lower body are all near each other but grouped which makes it easy to find, and two different free weight sections. It's spacious and nice. women's lockeroom: there are combo locks where you choose a pin and can lock your items. That's always a plus. It's overall clean, spacious, and other patrons wipe down the machines which is considerate. read more

Had a chance to check out Equinox and was impressed by the cleanliness and the amenities. They offer post-workout massages--great for recovery. The nearby parking and on-site juice bar add to the convenience. Even during busier hours, it didn't feel too crowded. Worth considering for a hassle-free gym experience. Bit on the pricy side but if you go consistently it's worth your money, I think. read more

Equinox Pasadena - Prices as of 11/23 - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

Hello Yelp'ers, this is a review of the Equinox Pasadena Front Desk and Group Ex classes. First of all, the Front Desk workers are the kindest in all of the Southern California Equinoxes that I've been to. From David to Harrison, to all the others, they're always so helpful, smiley, kind and lighthearted. That is a true warm, Southern Californian greeting. The group ex classes are all worth it, especially the Barre, Pilates, Yoga, Dance and Kickboxing classes. Thank you Equinox Pasadena! Not only is it a great front desk crowd, but the group ex classes and the members are always so kind. read more

I've been a member here for 2 months, so I think I've formed a fairly informed opinon. Yes, it's pricey. But if you come regularly and take advantage of the classes, it's really an investment in wellness. Or perhaps they've brainwashed me to believe this, using clever marketing and eucalyptus scented towels. Who knows. I was using my apartment building gym during Covid, but that got lonely so I bit the bullet and signed my income over to Equinox. I don't regret it. It's clean, it has an abundance of equipment, although you might have to wait for popular stuff like squat racks or benches during rush hour. Class-wise, they're almost all fantastic. My favorite instructor is Colin. He is a beast (in the most loving way). Ropes & Rowers is killer, as is his spin class. He's been teaching fitness for nearly 40 years and he looks amazing. Maybe if I continue at Equinox, I'll look like that in 40 years.. Victoria's cardio boxing class (The Cut) is awesome too. read more

The sign on process was not so easy. It took multiple calls and attempts to get my account set up. Then the complimentary sessions was not easily accessible. Appointment didn't go through. Then to access additional complimentary, it's another multiple email and calls. read more

I've been to about 10 different Equinoxes around the country and this one falls somewhere in the middle. There's nothing very special about it, but it's definitely not the worst one. Parking is easy to find + there's 2 hour validation, and the adjacent structure (not the Paseo) has Tesla chargers (72 kWh so you have time to work out while you're waiting). It was as clean as I'd expect it to be, but I haven't used the showers here so I can't speak to that, but all other facilities seemed nice so I don't have complaints. I've only taken a yoga class here - the instructor talked a lot about fables/stories relating to the poses that I wasn't familiar with (something about jumping across the ocean?) but the class itself was fine. It seems like the classes here are often competitive compared to the Equinoxes in Hollywood and Glendale, which usually always have spots left, because there's often 10+ people the waitlist. read more

This facility is amazing. Everyone is so kind and nice. The instructors are super fun and professional even the guests are completely nice. Everyone is just pleasant. The place is super clean. If I would've known what I was missing out on all these years I would've joined years ago but happy to be a part of Equinox. read more
