The weight area has two of certain machines whereas other gyms only have one. There is plenty of room for everyone and everything. There is also a rooftop for sunning and classes. Wow. Amazing.

I cannot speak to Hudson Yards because i have the destination except HY membership. But Equinox, if you want me to review HY, message me. Then there is the Trader Joe's a block away, so you can get your protein and fruits and vegetables after the gym. 10 out of 10. I always imagine how it was when it was a pickup joint.

They also have a lot of yoga classes with very skilled instructors. I do love their cycling classes as well. But my two favorite things are; 1. The rooftop during the summer months where we do best stretch ever. 2. The showerheads in the bathroom. The best pressure I've ever had. Their sauna and steam room is spacious for the men's side and they have a pool and jacuzzi that's co-ed. Also one of my favorite things is that it's very lowkey and 7 floors so often times you're just in the zone on your own.

I was a guest of a member during the 18-inch snow storm, so I wore my $500 dollar suede Danner lights (Made in the USA) to manage the snow. Upon entry, I was informed by the staff that, due to the suede being too light, it looked too much like Timberland boots, which are banned. I was professionally whisked to a backroom, where I was offered to wear black loafers 3 sizes too large if I wanted to make my appointment. I spent the rest of my time skipping through the venue in order to not trip over myself, wearing massively oversized shoes. I would have been okay with this footwear restriction if it was universally enforced, but there were plenty of people in the club wearing duck boots, metal hook leather hiking boots, and even the same type of boots of a slightly darker shade. Apparently, the shoe shade restriction was not something members are aware about (the no sneakers restriction is well known). I have previously been a guest here with positive experiences. However, today I was put in an illogically unsafe experience, forced to wear loaner shoes 3 sizes too large, because $500 lighter suede boots are deemed less classy than duck boots for being too"Timberland like" during a snow storm.

I visited prior to joining as I have been a member of other prestigious gyms and spas in the past. Equinox has multiple levels of membership, and I recommend the Destination membership. It gives you access to Equinox gyms around the country! This is perfect for individuals who travel for work or leisure. Next, I would like to address the cost of membership. Membership will cost between $300-$400 per month. At first you may think, 'wow, this is expensive.' However, I did an analysis of multiple gyms! Let's examine the cost of other NYC hot spots. Other gyms offer power lifting as a main source of workout and charge over $200 per month. Some pilates studios offer training classes for approximately $180 per month. There are yoga studios across New York that average $169-$200 a month. There are gyms centered around group classes that cost an average of $220-275 per month. Swim club fitness average $180-250 per month. If you joined multiple gyms to meet your fitness needs, you would be spending over $1000 per month. WOW. This is why I joined Equinox! Your membership includes weight lifting options, cycle fit classes, yoga classes, pilates classes, core strengthing classes, HIIT training, persoal training, nutrition coaching, massage therapy from licensed massage therapists, an AMAZING spa, ViPR--an incredible workout that engages your core, improves flexibility, and builds strength and power! (Its wonderful). Furthermore, this location has a beautiful pool with city views! You can lap swim, take swimming classes, and have personal swim coaching. Equinox is a powerful place to be a part of. 160 Columbus even has an outdoor track with beautiful views of the City as you improve your cardio strength and endurance. Furthermore, the gym has a boxing arena/room! I can not think of a better place to be a part of a gym that offers 10 gym services all in one place! There is nothing that beats the quality of this type of membership. $1000 or $300-400 for all of your fitness needs. You decide! I LOVE Equinox at 160 Columbus Ave. The vibe is laid back yet professional and courteous. The concierge offers excellent services. I highly recommend Equinox. PM me, and I would be happy to give you a referral! There is a current incentive that you do not want to miss if you want to join Equinox! I can't wait to hear from you if you have questions about Equinox. Join. Strengthen. Enjoy! Tell Equinox, Lauren Lindsay sent you! I can not wait to hear from you and help you through the membership process!

General Manager Joseph Cloonan should be seriously investigated by Equinox for extremely…read moreinappropriate conduct. I had a minor issue with one of the workers, and instead of handling it professionally, GM Joseph Cloonan came up to me inside the men's locker room while I was not dressed. I asked him multiple times to please wait outside the locker room until I was dressed and told him I would speak with him outside. He refused and continued following me around the locker room, including while I was changing. I felt extremely uncomfortable and left the gym right away because I wanted to escalate and report what happened. About an hour later, I received a call saying I was banned from Equinox for life for allegedly violating the Mutual Respect Policy. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to contact Equinox corporate, Equinox HR, and Equinox legal. I have also tried dealing with club directors Allison Neimi and Emma Marr, but they refused to take a phone call from me, refused to let me explain what happened, and refused to provide any meaningful escalation contact. I am now filing a civil claim and complaints with the New York State Attorney General's Consumer Frauds Bureau, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, and any other appropriate agency. Worth noting, Equinox has already faced serious consumer-protection scrutiny. In 2025, the New York Attorney General announced a $600,000 settlement with Equinox over membership and cancellation practices, including allegations that Equinox failed to clearly disclose subscription terms and failed to provide easy online cancellation options. In my opinion, this club handled the situation terribly. I was followed around a locker room while undressed, banned shortly after, and then ignored when I tried to report what happened through the proper channels.

I have been left deeply saddened and with ptsd thanks to equinox, and the trainer they assigned me…read morewhen I joined in 2021. This young trainer left much to be desired as far as a promise to create a program for me. When I asked about nutrition, I was told to count calories. There was no attempt to include exercises I actually enjoyed, and I had a large problem after he highly recommended his physical therapist to help my injured shoulder. Unfortunately for me, this man turned out to be a serial predator of women, and his license was expired which was an issue when I tried to report him for the assault I experienced in his office. Instead of helping me with a report, my trainer gaslit me and said he was suicidal and to not go after his job. Claimed to have no idea, has referred many clients to this man. I was not going to chance having that on my conscious and stayed silent. I have not been mentally well since, and have struggled getting support. I could not understand or believe how my trainer would not go out of his way to help me. A year later he went on my personal Instagram and made a point to call me a racial slur for my apparent political views. I was floored. The lack of professionalism, respect, class, and immaturity of it all on top of my previous assault I kept quiet to "save his job" has now become to much for me. I reached out to him a couple weeks after this hoping he would be of clearer mind to explain I was not a bad person, I don't even have strong political opinions, and the gym was my safe place/necessary for my mental health, and to please make peace. He responded asking me to "stop harassing him." As he called me such a malicious name and is larger than me and knows where I live, I fear for my personal safety and am left very disillusioned and confused as I has such high expectations for such a high end brand. I will live with ptsd for the rest of my life and regret ever joining equinox and meeting that trainer.

When you first come in, theres a screen that tells you who reserved what court for what time that day. You can only get in if you reserve, it's not a public court. Then, you just go to your designated court and play! The concept is pretty simple. As far as I know, there is no limit to how many people you can bring with you, as long as they're not causing a ruckus. Amongst 4 people, we all paid around $20 to play for the hour. If you've been itching to play badminton, then this may be the spot!

For $200+ a month, I'd beg you to choose any of the six other locations within walking distance. Every single hair dryer was broken. There were only three total, and the ones at the large vanities were literally falling out of upside-down plugs (how has no one fixed this?). The compartments at the smaller vanities? Completely empty. The shampoo and conditioner were out of order, so I ended up putting body wash in my hair. The water pressure in the showers was inconsistent and sad, and the temperature kept swinging from hot to cold. The staff was nowhere to be found... the front desk was empty when I left. Cold towel fridges were scarce. I left with dripping wet hair, frustrated after trying all 3 hair dryers, and wishing I had just taken the train to Williamsburg. I'd like to say at least one thing positive, the steam room at this location is very nice. It however does not makeup for the absolutely subpar experience this location offers. I understand why a membership advisor at a separate location told me not to come here. Avoid at all costs... this has to be the worst in the city and a disgrace to the brand.

You can wear sneakers, or bring cycling shoes with clips. They provide towels and you can fill up your water bottle here, and they even have cubbies to put your stuff when you're working out. The space isn't huge, but it's well ventilated (with fans and large windows) so when you start sweating (and you will be) it's not unbearable. I believe there's a max of 12-18 individuals per class, all lined up when you enter the space. Your bike is hooked up to the screens and everyone can see how fast you're going, your RPMs, watts, etc. The coach has a microphone and instructs you what's expected and there is an additional screen that shows where your 100% - 120% effort level is. You may be thinking this is intense -- it is. There are many ironman triathletes that workout here, so people can be intimidating. Still try it though! Especially if you think other spin classes aren't cutting it.
