By participating, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules and represent that you satisfy all of the eligibility requirements.
- PRELIMINARY INFORMATION: By entry into the Sweepstakes you accept and agree to be bound by these official rules (“Official Rules”).

Classes that are booked but where the Entrant does not check-in with Equinox will also not count towards the total Classes completed. Equinox’s standard rules for booking, waitlisting, cancelling and participating in group fitness and cycling classes apply. Participation is limited based on cycling class schedules and bike availability. All Entrants who complete twelve (12) or more Classes during the Entry Period (each a “Finisher”) will be eligible to receive two (2) complimentary Equinox guest passes, as further described in Section 4.
