Equinox Pasadena -- next-level training in every detail.
Omar Z.

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.

Gym

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.

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.

Pursuit Cycling class

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

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.

The staff is always genuinely pleasant and helpful -- the kind of people who greet you with a smile and make the space feel welcoming. I love the infrared sauna, especially because you can book it in advance, which makes planning workouts so much easier. Their variety of weight machines keeps things interesting, and I never feel like I'm waiting around for equipment. It's rarely crowded except for the usual New Year rush. Parking in the lot can be a little tricky since it's small, but there's plenty of free street parking right outside, so it's never a dealbreaker. They also offer a great lineup of workout classes, which adds even more value. Overall, it's a gym that makes staying consistent feel effortless. Neighbors and friends are all members so it's fun to work out together and there are perks for referring new members too!

The facilities are very spacious, albeit extremely busy a lot of the time, they have a lot of classes and equipment, and the people who work there are all really personable and attendant.

Yeah, I could put in some earbuds but they never stay in during heavy bag work. I just don't understand why music is so bad these days. Is it the gym's fault for things going on in the music industry? Yes. Yes it is. If you are sitting there all shift day after day, make a playlist and put some love into it. There's SO much good music out there. Don't play homogeneous corporate slop. We can do better. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!

Switching to this gym has been a breath of fresh air. MFC is run by a hardworking and friendly family who's always quick to help and the gymgoers contribute to the overall chill vibe that I love about this place. Equipment: TONS. There's every attachment possible for the cable machines. In addition to having all the typical plate-loaded and pin machines and dumbbells (in 2.5 lb increments too!) for the general fitness enthusiast, they also have specialty equipment for bodybuilding, strongman, olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting. I started coming here to prep for a powerlifting meet and appreciate the 2 combo racks, multi-station rig, many deadlift platforms, and multiple benches. There's plenty of powerlifting equipment so I've never had to wait to SBD. Community: The folks who come here are respectful and have good gym etiquette. Some folks keep to themselves; they're locked in and focused on their own workouts. Other folks enjoy talking more and building friendships as they train. To each their own - I just love that folks wipe down their equipment after use and rerack their weights. Bathroom: Super clean with multiple stalls, showers, and lockers inside Parking: Spacious, free parking lot. I've never encountered this, but if the lot was ever full, you could easily find (free) street parking Bonuses: There's a large cubby shelf located under the stairs for us to drop our stuff off while we work out. There's also a charging station and several cleaning sprays + constantly restocked towels so we can easily wipe down equipment (and ourselves) They offer $5 day passes on the last Friday of every month so take advantage of that to come check out how awesome this gym is. $65 for the monthly membership is such an invaluable investment for all that MFC provides. I'm incredibly happy to be training here and know you will be too!

Perfect studio for beginners to advance seasoned veterans of Lagree. The trainers here are so nice welcoming and truly can do it all with no sweat. I'm always impressed by the amount of parking spots available when I come here. Plenty of free 2hrs parking along Mission. Love the cozy neighborhood as well. Cute boutique shops, cafes and salons. There's just so much on this street it's an awesome place even just to walk around. If you want a lagree class that will challenge you but give you plenty of ways to build up your strength you have to check out MegaFit. As a classpass girlie, I was always more interested in trying different studios but once I found Mary at MegaFit there was no going anywhere else. Come try her class Wednesdays and trust me you'll thank me later. You won't find a better, more kinder, more beautiful, talented and strong woman as Mary. I've taken several of the instructors here and they are all wonderful women so you can't go wrong any day of the week. Perfect size studio as well. Not too many machines but not too little and they are perfectly spaced so you're not in someone's ear. Absolutely love it here and will forever be a regular. If you want to try lagree for the first time of the 50th time, MegaFit certainly delivers in fun, sweat and abs!!
