The staff and trainers were great, I just hate - HATE - the treadmill, and every class was tons of...wait for it...treadmill work. No big surprise after my free trial class, but I guess I optimistically thought I'd get into it if I kept an open mind. Nope. Did I mention I hate the treadmill? Interval training is where it's at - if only there was more variety than the treadmill and rowing, though I actually do like rowing. But did I tell you how much I hate the treadmill? Also didn't love the class reservation model, not to mention that an expensive monthly membership only grants you a limited number of classes (unless you go for the unlimited membership, and thank god I wasn't THAT enthusiastic when I signed up). With my work schedule I need a bit more flexibility. I did love the darker, orange-lit atmosphere, as I hate staring at myself under bright fluorescent lighting when I work out. This simply wasn't the fitness routine for me. That said, if you enjoy this type of workout - and you'll shed pounds and shape up quickly with interval training, I promise you - then go for it. Like I mentioned, the staff and trainers were great, and the facility itself was nice enough. To paraphrase my parting phrase on many a first date: You're a nice gym, Orange Theory. It's not you, it's me.

HORRIBLE BUSINESS! I got a free Orange theory pass because I bought tickets to Del Mar Thoroughbred…read moreRacing....I showed the lady at the front desk my ID and she tried to charge me $30 because it was an out of state ID and "my address was not within their 5 mile radius"....this needs to be stated more clearly because as I signed up for this "free class" online, the 5 mile radius demand was not explicit. Instead of pressuring me to pay $30, they should have suggested bringing in alternate documents (such as tax documents) etc....but that wouldn't make them $$$ so makes sense why they were pressing me on paying $30...Just a complete waste of my time and false advertising and PETTY!!!! The lady at the front desk mentioned she "did not appreciate my dishonesty"....I explained that I am home for the summer with my parents who live nearby and she was not willing to listen to me. It was either $30 or scram. They have lost any future business from me! Very bad business and I wish i knew the girls name at the front desk...she had no right to patronize me...I was very excited for a free class but i will never return here again.

Been a member here for about a month and I absolutely love it. This is a super intense class but…read moreit's perfect for someone like me that like to dedicate an hour of my day for working out and not have to do anything else. The teachers are all super nice. No two teachers are alike which is nice, because you are constantly switching it up. The girls at the front desk are all extremely helpful. I want to especially give a shoutout to the girl with pink hair who's name is escaping me right now. Aside from it being a great workout she is the reason I joined. She is always bubbly and kind. I recommend starting by buying a pack of classes on Groupon. With this you'll get a feel of the class. The studio is always running promotions so sign up for emails and try to join when there's a sale, it definitely makes a difference.

I have been going to this Equinox for the past 4.5 years, ever since we moved from Manhattan to the…read moreNew Jersey suburbs, and it's great. We were looking at a few different towns, but I'm glad we wound up in Summit because I love going to this gym. Pros (which are significant): - Like a typical Equinox, it's large, clean, and well-maintained, with all the usual amenities (including the chilled, eucalyptus-scented towels). They wipe down the mats well in between classes. - It's less crowded than the Manhattan locations I used to frequent. It's unusual to have to wait for equipment or a shower, etc. - The classes are great--and, honestly, the main reason to join Equinox (because if you need just a place to work out, there are cheaper options). I take practically everything (except spinning), and my favorite instructors include Kelsey, Michelle, and Jennifer. (John T. is also very good, but unlike the others, I think he still doesn't know my name, even though I've been doing his classes for years.) Renee does an excellent job overseeing the group-fitness program. - I haven't done much personal training here (it's expensive), but I did have a few good sessions with Marcus (and a friend of mine has been working happily with him for years now). - The Kids Club is a wonderful resource for parents. It's so nice to work out while someone watches your kids. It's $20 for two hours, but that's a bargain given the going rate for babysitting in Summit. - A while back, I complained about the lack of a juice/snack bar. Now they have one, courtesy of Essex Squeeze--and it's great! - I also previously mentioned the lack of built-in combination locks. Now they have them. Possible improvements (some admittedly minor, some not realistic): - I wish they had a larger stretching area or additional stretching areas; the one area they do have can get crowded. - They should check the treadmills more regularly to make sure they're in good working order; too frequently you'll encounter one that wobbles a little or makes weird noises. - A larger pool, heated to a higher temperature, would be nice. - The men's bathroom could use upgrading. There are only two stalls and two urinals. I wish the stall doors were the kind that went down to the floor and indicated whether the stall was occupied. They could also be cleaned more frequently. - I also wish they had some private all-gender bathrooms (like certain other Equinoxes). - Like every Equinox, they need to upgrade their toilet paper (Charmin Ultra Strong is the way to go). - I miss the old Kiehl's products. The Grown Alchemist cleanser doesn't lather or rinse off well, and its lotion doesn't get absorbed easily. (But replacing Kiehl's with Grown Alchemist was a company-wide decision.)

When I first checked out Equinox, I honestly wasn't sure about joining. My first interaction with…read morean associate wasn't very clear, so I left feeling a little unsure. On my second visit though, Elle helped me out--she was super kind and really convinced me to go for it. At first, scheduling personal training was a bit rocky since my original trainer (I think Joseph Marcantonio) canceled last minute. But then I got paired with Emily, and honestly she's the sweetest and most amazing trainer. She made me feel comfortable right away and helped me build my routine from scratch. Even with a couple of bumps at the beginning, I'm really glad I joined. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and overall the experience has been worth it.

I started off virtual in the middle of the Covid 19, and that is what convinced me. They are legit virtual workouts, not someone just saying "go, lift higher, yes, great, you can do it". I LEGIT came out of those workouts sore. On top of that, I started going to outdoor workouts. And like I said, when my body is sore then I know the workouts are effective. The coaches and the members are so welcoming and they teach you technique, they are not just trying to conduct class, and "peace'ing out". Also, you get VARIETY. I can't even explain it, the workouts are programmed differently every month or so... I suggest you give it a trial run, and let me know what you think.

Don't even get me started about to cancel one of these memberships. I went into Resurgence curious about lifting heavy, with good form and was genuinely greeted with kindness and curiosity. They wanted to know what my goals were and how I wanted to get there. I'm an active woman in my 40's with a previous injury so joining a powerlifting gym could feel intimidating. But this was not the case. I felt very welcomed and got started with one of their trainers, Carl ( the best!!!!) The fees are very reasonable, which has made it possible for me to really commit and frankly change my life. I deal with a lot of caretaking on a daily basis and getting stronger in this space has made that possible without feeling that I am harming my body. Everyone here knows your name and is available to help but you have space to explore and learn on your own. This is truly a place for everyone.

The employees are kind and…read morehelpful and they don't try to sell you crap you don't want like extra personal training hours, etc. When I signed up for my membership they did ask if I wanted to do personal training but a simple no was good enough. They also offer child supervision in a large play room which is good for those with kids - so no excuses for you stay at home mom's and couch potato dad's. The place is three floors. The locker rooms are on the second floor along with a spin class room. Half way up is another room. It's under utilized at the moment but I guess it could be used for stretching or other calisthenics. Then up on the third floor is the main gym. Has a good variety of free weights, machines, and cardio. There is a cardio movie room which is sweet , they Change the movie every day and the the movies do get recycled but it seems long enough before you get bored. Recently they played Grown Ups, fast and furious (the latest one), and the internship. The dumbbells go up to 115+ which is great and there are many flat and interchangeable benches. Some machines they are missing are the standing leg curl and hack squat. Seems to be commonly absent especially since a lot of people skip leg day. The general upkeep is good. I've rarely ever seen machine broken for longer than one day, but the supplies in the locker room like hand soap tends to always be empty. I'd say about 20% of the time there was actually soap in the dispenser (this is way I can't give it 5 stars. That and the three floors set up is a bit awkward).
