I took the Saturday noon circuit session with Tania. It was my first time and she came over at…read moreevery exercise and reminded me what it was and helped me make sure I was doing it correctly. The circuit class had six stations so after every change, I forgot what the exercise was but she was there to quickly run through it with me. She was also very encouraging. At the end of the class she mentioned of a competition day that was open to everyone. The space has nothing but a water fountain, lockers, bathroom, sanitizer and cleaning wipes for the machine, no towels, shower or amenities. I enjoy Metcon (5min exercise - 1min rest) and the variety of it all. The class went quickly and id definitely do the class again. It was my first time working out in a while and i could keep up. Would give it 5 stars but lack of amenities is a big bummer.

WARNING If you go as someone's guest once, the app won't let you sign up for the $49 7 day pass. I…read morewent with a friend to see if I'd like it. I decided after that to try the 7 day pass just before a 530pm class. At the checkout screen, the app told me that pass was just for "new members" - apparently going as a guest once made me a "new member." By the time all this consent played out, it was 531pm, and I was standing in front of the gym. I figured I'd just ask staff to help, but because it was one minute past 530pm, they locked the doors (didn't know they did that - the app doesn't warn you about that either). I actually tried to sort this all by phone on my way over, but they don't take phone calls. So basically this cost me a few non refundable hours of my work day (as an attorney, that's costly). I'll probably never go to F45 again after this, and now here I am warning others with one-star reviews. Given that I was likely going to be an unlimited monthly (aka $$$) member (and I'm sure I'm not the only one), this feels like a real fumble by private equity being penny wise and pound foolish.

Form50 Fitness in Williamsburg is a fun, high energy studio. The machines are laid out in a single row and they recommend the center spots for first timers. The instructors did a great job previewing the class structure ahead of time. However, if you're used to lagree, you'll find it pretty standard. The music was good and it was overall a well structured class!

Luckily they didn't cramp but were extremely tight the next morning. Found out afterwards the machine is lagree not reformer so that made me feel better. The teacher was great and gave me alot of attention since he knew it was my first time. I would recommend it if you like Pilates. Note, there aren't any amenities, besides water refill, tissues and lockers. The front door is locked during class. And i was 2min late and luckily still let me in and didn't start yet. The only negative is lack of amenities. Would be nice to have a refresh station.

WillyB Crossfit was everything I was looking for in a crossfit class. The instructors all brought their own personal styles and knowledge to all of the classes which helped to shake things up and stop anyone from getting bored. Being completely new to the world of crossfit I also had some issues with being intimidated to all the new stuff I was going to have to learn, but everyone (instructors as well as other people in my classes) was very approachable and was quick to assist with any questions or concerns I had. Lastly, and most importantly, I am a person with a disability. One of my main concerns was not being integrated into the classes with other able bodied people. This ended up never being an issue because everyone at WillyB took the time to work with me personally to adapt our daily WOD's and warm-ups to something that was realistic but still challenging for my body. If you are on the fence about diving into the world of crossfit I can honestly think of no better place to start with than WillyB Crossfit.

Scam alert! I wish I…read moreread these reviews prior to signing up for the 6 week challenge. I was motivated and hopeful, especially due to prior positive crossfit experiences at other gyms and learned a big lesson about reading reviews first. To be clear: The 6 week challenge which is falsely advertised as free costs $632. If you lose 25 pounds they say you get your money back. Doing the math, this type of program endorses disordered exercise and eating. It's not healthy to lose that amount of weight in 6 weeks They exploit those that have unrealistic goals, financially. Personally, I am writing because I was supposed to start the 6 week challenge right before COVID and they continued to bill be throughout the gym closures. I explained that I would be willing to transfer the money I already paid into a regular membership following COVID and they refused. I called my credit card company since it is illegal to charge for a gym that is closed due to COVID. The credit card company advised to file a claim. They responded by calling collections. I am confident that the credit card company will handle this for me, but am sickened by these practices overall. Mostly, I am genuinely worried about the mental health of potential consumers in the future. The actual classes are extremely variable since the staff are not well trained. The staff themselves told me that they are not treated properly and that there are is little, inconsistent communication with management. It shows in the classes, and the workouts are not as effective as other crossfit programs I have done as a result.

CrossFit Virtuosity is hands down the cleanest and most amenity-rich box I've ever experienced. As far as the workout, instructions were detailed and clear but not exhausting and redundant. The gym is also conveniently located adjacent to McCarren park, so we ran our two miles around the track, which was awesome. I enjoyed my experience so much that I may actually consider starting CrossFit again. Thanks again CrossFit Virtuosity for a wonderful Murph workout.

This place is clearly not as inclusive as they purport to be. Got the message that they don't want my money and are not interested in working with anyone over 30, regardless of fitness level. They seem short staffed and not much interested in expanding their existing clientele. If you don't mind waiting and being judged without even discussing your actual fitness level, then check them out. Otherwise, caveat emptor/buyer beware.

Staff is cool and attentive, and for a large gym, all the machines were in working order, and the weights all stayed in one place for a change, which is a shock close to peak afternoon hours. Of course all the good gyms are in Brooklyn which is quite the reach. The only complaint is getting there which is a personal issue that I won't factor to the gym. Next time I get a chance to come here, keep up the good work. Don't slack off!

Coach Morgan did a very good job at explaining all the movements needed for the Workout of the Day and made sure to offer scaled-down versions where necessary. (And she had a more than impressive time for 15.5 on the Whiteboard!) The atmosphere overall was very friendly and welcoming!

Members should know this by now given all the complaints about this location. The gym is a mid sized gym. Not small like most comments on here. Not sure based on these comments made from people calling out it is small. The layout is a bit different. Yes. The Main Studio feels like a glass while everyone looks at you work out. You see, most Equinox locations I have visited either the main studio is tucked away partially from the gym's floor visibility or has a wall to make it a bit more private. I felt like the main studio at the Williamsburg location everyone from all angles can see you workout. The yoga studio is downstairs. Right across from the women's locker. Would have been nice if the main studio was situated the same as well. My guess is depending what time you visit will depend how less crowded or crowded it is. Personally, I have zero complaints about this location. My only complaint is I dislike those numerical combination lockers.

For the facilities themselves, Equinox Williamsburg is a decent gym but commands a premium price…read morecompared to many other gyms in NYC. That said, what ultimately made us walk away wasn't the facility--it was the people. At this price point, hospitality should be part of the experience. Unfortunately, nearly every interaction we had with the front desk felt cold and transactional. The staff often seemed more engaged in conversations with one another than acknowledging members or prospective members. Instead of feeling welcomed, we frequently felt as though we were inconveniencing them by asking basic questions or checking in. For a luxury fitness brand, that's am extremely disappointing first impression. After touring multiple gyms, we ultimately chose to stay loyal to Orangetheory Williamsburg instead. While it's a completely different style of workout, the difference in customer experience was impossible to ignore. From our very first visit, the staff greeted us warmly, remembered our names, and made us feel like part of a community rather than just another membership. That sense of hospitality made the decision surprisingly easy. One additional point of feedback is the sales experience. I work in enterprise sales myself, so I understand the importance of following up with prospective customers. However, there's a fine line between persistence and becoming overwhelming. Orangetheory occasionally sends a promotional text or email, which feels respectful. Equinox, on the other hand, repeatedly called, texted, and emailed after our visit to the point that it became excessive and I felt harassed. Rather than reinforcing the value of the brand, it had the opposite effect and made the experience feel more aggressive than premium. For a luxury gym with a luxury price tag, I expected a customer experience that matched the brand. The facilities are impressive, but management should seriously consider investing more attention into the hospitality culture at the front desk and the overall sales approach. Those interactions ultimately influenced our decision far more than the equipment ever did.
