Came here debating on upgrading my Equinox membership to include the Destination Locations with…read morePacific Palisades really being the Prized Location among the others like the Sports Club or Century City. First the negatives: The Parking isn't terrible but it will slow you down and take up your "time limit" of 2.5 hrs, You have to drive slooooow. The spaces are all compact, I drive a Model Y and it was tight in the curves to go between floors and the parking spaces. There is only one elevator but I believe you can access the parking levels by taking the stairs or entering from different floors. The water pressure is very weak in the water fountains and the showers. I saw some complaints about accessing different rooms but it wasn't bad at all it's like 20 feet and if it's raining you shouldn't really notice if you're already wet from sweat. If you are afraid of water then not sure what to tell you, you may want to spend your membership money on help with that. Equinox is notorious for stairs and although there are no stairs to go UP to the locker rooms like other locations there are stairs that go up to go inside the gym. Once inside the stairs either go down into the locker rooms or up between levels. You're at the gym, the stairs shouldn't be an issue for you, embrace the stairs, enjoy the stairs. Lastly it's a new gym and 2 of the cold plunges weren't working and the parking validation didn't work but was easily able to press a button, speak and view a live person on the screen and be granted access to leave. The positives: The Views are amazing, ease of access to be in or out of the gym if you wanted to take a walk in between sets to get some Sun. The equipment is all new and the gym is spotless. The crew were everywhere cleaning and making sure everything was stocked and on working order. The bathrooms were very nice but had limited stalls which wasn't a problem for me but could be an issue at some point. The showers, steam room and co-ed Sauna were dope. My conclusion, I'm upgrading my Membership and enjoying this location and all others. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it.

I recently made my way out to the newest Equinox location in Southern California because on their…read morewebsite it said this location opened on 12/20/24. Unfortunately, that was not the case as the front desk staff said they ran into some code issues that they were still working out with the city. However, they were nice enough to let me tour the club and here are my impressions. First off, being that will be a brand new club this would take over as the nicest Equinox location in Southern California. The club is spread out over 3 floors. You enter on the 2nd floor with direct access from the parking garage. More on that later. The aesthetics are very much in line with the current Equinox club aesthetic, albeit with brighter wood tones to emphasize its location right across from the beach and the Pacific Ocean. The 2nd floor has offices and the juice bar. Down the stairs to the first level is where the Men's and Women's locker rooms are as well as the new Recovery Area with a very large co-ed sauna and ice baths. It'll be interesting to see how this location handles the co-ed area. Up stairs to the 3rd floor and you see the requisite cardio area, free weights, one squat rack and machines. The cycling studio is on the side. Upon first glance, the layout of the weights floor felt like it was going to be a problem. It was very small and for a new gym to only have one set of free weights and one squat rack, that's going to be an issue, but upon further discovery there's a whole other section that you can access by going out onto the terrace covered in astroturf set up for weights and sled work and an outdoor stretching area around the corner. There was a larger room that had another cardio area, this time with numerous Woodway Treadmills as well as new weights, another rack of free weights, barbells, dumbbells, squat racks, Smith Machines, etc... The private pilates studio and group fitness studio are also located on this side. That said, I understand they were working with existing space, but it does feel odd to have separate rooms that you would have to access through exterior corridors rather than one unified space. I'm interested to see how this layout will handle weather and volume as there's no access to the locker facilities from the larger weights room. Parking is available underground with the entrance behind the building, but be careful as the ramp up and down were very narrow with numerous scrapes on the ramp walls. Parking for Equinox on the upper parking floors so that's nice, but the spaces are tight. Overall, I believe this is still considered a select location, but depending on how it does it might get bumped up to a SoCal All Access tier, but only time will tell.

I never received a phone call or email from you to clarify this matter, so please don't make up lies to make this story look good! About six months ago, my friend came to visit and wanted a joint lesson, so we signed up together, and this time after you asked me to leave because I made a mistake at the time of the lesson I chose, I asked for my money back. I didn't even know that you would act in such a vindictive manner towards your past customers, so I signed up yesterday as well and to my surprise and disappointment was the disrespectful treatment I received from you. In my opinion, you are behaving in the most disrespectful way! You notified me while I was looking for parking before entering the class! And you charged me another $30 for a late fee!!!! The height of insolence! I'm still waiting for my money back! Regarding your scheduling and registration, it didn't work for me personally as a mother of 3, so I felt that the money I was paying wasn't worth it to me if I couldn't schedule classes! I tried both morning and evening, the availability was very low! It didn't work for me in any way, so it makes sense for me to stop subscribing to you. And yes, you will also regret that you are not doing your job properly, neither with fairness nor with respect!

I first went to her after I had a hip replacement and was hyper concerned about having a knowledgeable trainer. Andrea came highly recommended and rightly so. I was immediately comfortable with her because she clearly knew the principles of physical therapy and the workings of the body so I knew I would be safe with her. She is very thorough and creative in both her diagnosis of your personal needs and her instruction. She is able to quickly identify the areas that need the most work and you begin an immediate path to strength building and flexibility. She is also very good about varying her approach to lessons. The core Pilates basics remain the same, but she has a variety of approaches that guarantee you are never bored and always challenged. In addition to being a superior Pilate's instructor, she is also a really nice person.

I wasn't doing any weight training. Nicole is a terrific trainer! She has helped me establish a new routine with an emphasis on weight training and more intense, shorter cardio sessions. Nicole has helped me become more confident in the weight room. I no longer feel intimidated by the "heavy lifters". Hiring Nicole was the best thing I've done for myself.
