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 changed locations to the 42nd Street club, where I had no issues, but eventually canceled my membership. I did report these concerns to the manager at the 42nd Street location, but I felt I also needed to put this on the record. There is simply no place for this kind of behavior toward paying members.

After a verbal disagreement with another patron, a staff member asked me to leave. I explained that I disagreed with what had been reported and didn't believe the situation had been handled fairly. What disappointed me most was that there appeared to be no meaningful attempt to de-escalate the situation. No manager came to speak with me or try to resolve the issue before it escalated further. Instead, the police were called and I was arrested without any meaningful conversation. I was never physically aggressive toward any staff member or patron. Despite that, the situation escalated far beyond what I ever expected from a luxury club charging over $350 per month. I still have not received a refund weeks later and highly recommend no one sign up to this gym unless you want to get arrested. The lack of trying to de-escalate and instead escalate was extremely shocking. Worst gym ever! For a premium membership, I expected a much higher level of customer service and conflict resolution. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. I can no longer recommend this club based on how this incident was handled.

This Equinox gym is excellent! Join! That is my BEST advice. New management. Let me tell you why I…read morewanted to become a part of the Equinox 160 Columbus Ave location. 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!

There is a LOT I could criticize about this place but what stands out to me is how unprofessional…read morethe front desk staff are. Does the manager hire these kids out of a special needs high school? Each and every one of them is always on their phone texting and not paying attention when people enter the gym (which - let's be honest - is really their only function). I wish I could record it - these children NEVER check anyone's IDs and I know for a fact that dozens of people sneak into the gym every day. What am I even paying a membership for? I always have to wave my phone in front of their face when I come in so they scan it and my visit will be registered in the app. Why are they always too busy to scan it on their own? Why do I need to remind them to be doing their jobs? And worst of all, every single one of the children working here is RUDE and ENTITLED. They never say good night to the guests and they are always just gossiping amongst themselves. This is a JOB. THEY ARE BEING PAID TO WORK NOT TO STAND AROUND IGNORING GUESTS. IF I OWNED THIS PLACE I WOULD HIRE ALL NEW STAFF AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY SCAN EVERY GUESTS' ID AND THEY SAY HELLO AND GOOD BYE EVERY DAY. IT IS NOT THAT HARD. For $400 a month, you would think they would do that. But then again, this is a company that just lost $40M in a class action settlement. What else do you expect. Nitwits.

After an incident in the locker room where I felt unsafe, I immediately reported it to a staff member. I also contacted Emma Marr and even provided screenshots proving that I had reported the incident right after it happened. Despite this, I received no meaningful response for several days. I had to send multiple follow-up emails just to get a reply. When Emma finally responded, she claimed that if I wanted any action to be taken, I should have reported the incident at the time. This response was unacceptable because I did report it immediately. The screenshots I provided clearly prove that. Instead of acknowledging the report and apologizing for the delay, I was made to feel as though I had done something wrong. No member paying premium membership fees should have to chase management for days after reporting a safety concern. Member safety should always be the highest priority, and concerns like these deserve prompt, professional, and respectful attention. Because of the way this situation was handled, I have completely lost confidence in Equinox Hudson Yards. Emma Marr's lack of urgency, poor communication, and failure to properly address a legitimate safety complaint fall far below the standards I would expect from a luxury fitness club. I sincerely hope Equinox's senior management reviews how this matter was handled and takes meaningful steps to ensure that future safety complaints are treated with the seriousness, professionalism, and respect that every member deserves.

Constant "remodeling". Women's locker room still unfinished after a year. Broken equipment, ripped seats on benches. Cleaning crew mostly on their phones in the hallways. There was a giant dead roach in an overhead light that took 8 MONTHS OF COMPLAINTS to get removed. Management is hostile and unprofessional. Front desk staff mainly are playing on their phones/have their backs to you or are singing out loud. My rate was $90 and then they announced all members' rates would be raised to $125, for no reason other than "things are expensive". It's obvious they're trying to pay for the new flooring and finally finishing the women's locker room. I sent an INQUIRY about the billing cycle and cancellation process IF I decided to cancel. Membership "interpreted" that as a REQUEST, and therefore canceled my membership. When I said NO, I didn't request a cancellation, it was clearly an inquiry about timing of payments/cancellation, they said "but we heard you talking about it at the front desk one day". I said whaaat??? And they REFUSED to reinstate me. I forwarded the email exchange to the General Manager, Scott. He is a nightmare. He refused to reinstate my membership citing "it was my latest whim and that I push back on staff every chance I get". These people are NUTS! Then I went there on October 1 and they refused again to read the email exchange and had me escorted from the premises by security. Though security was on my side, as they said this has happened before. Then he sent me an email permanently banning me and threatening a restraining order?!! Bonkers!! Posted my experience to social media and was shocked to hear so many people have had similar experiences/shady business. Save yourself the hassle and exposure to mold and go somewhere else. Most people tolerate this place because of the pool. But there are other pools out there with better management. The only good things were most of the members were polite and friendly and I had great experiences with the personal trainers there. *Also read the reviews and if there negative you'll see the General Manager pushing back/posting inflammatory responses at every chance, instead of being professional and/or just accepting the criticisms or wanting to make it right. I don't know HOW he has a management position. He can't even manage his own emotions.

We both live in Flushing near Main St., so NYISC was a perfect place for us to travel to. The club inside was spacious and clean. Some of the staff greeted us as soon as we walked in and gave us a thorough and in-depth description of all the membership services and fees for ping pong games/coaching. The actual tables are professional-grade, and there are actually plenty of them spread throughout an enormous indoor facility. I liked the feel of the high ceilings while I played (or at least ATTEMPTED to play haha). Even though this place was popular on a weeknight around 7-8pm, the size of the facility didn't make me feel cramped. Checking out the rest of NYISC, I saw an indoor soccer field - which is a rare sight in a place such as Flushing. I don't play soccer, but I would recommend this space for soccer teams and friends looking to play a match or serious game. My boyfriend and I also wandered to the 'Pro Shop' in the sports club. They sold all different professional ping pong products from brands such as Butterfly (famous ping pong product manufacturer). We didn't purchase anything, but I did sign up for private lessons with one of the renowned & accomplished coaches. The pricing was for a set of 10 lessons and were more than affordable. The coaches were all world ranked, and have competed in Olympics, etc. Maybe one day I'll be able to at least keep up in a game with my boyfriend, lol. LAST THING: People here are very open and friendly. If you come on a weeknight like us or a weekend, there will always be staff to help you and fellow players/students to meet/interact with :) One person saw my extreme lack of ping-pong skills and kindly helped me out a bit the first time I came to NYISC -___- lols I will definitely be returning
