Explore Equinox’s expert coaching, group fitness classes, and premium amenities that support high-performance living.
Equinox isn’t a gym. It’s a complete wellness ecosystem — and joining one of the 118 Equinox Clubs around the world is your key to forging a high-performance lifestyle.
Here’s what you’ll unlock with an Equinox membership.
What's Included in the Equinox Experience?
Learn how to use the full spectrum of Equinox amenities to improve your performance and condition your body.
Customized Personal Training
The Equinox experience begins with science-backed personal training, customized to your needs. Every Equinox COACH is certified through the Equinox Fitness Training Institute, our proprietary training program, and many hold additional certifications in fields like nutrition, women’s health, strength, and athletics.
Our exclusive programs — including EQX ARC, Optimize by Equinox, and Missions — combine personal training with holistic wellness support to reach specific health goals, like improving your golf game or building bone density in perimenopause. Regardless of the goal, an Equinox Coach can help you achieve it.
Personalized coaching is best suited to individuals who want to maximize their performance or have very specific health goals in mind. Your Coach will customize everything specifically to you.

Exclusive Group Fitness Classes
Outside of personal training, you can also take advantage of Signature Group Fitness Classes led by expert instructors across modalities, including strength, running, HIIT, barre, Pilates, swim, boxing, dance, and more.
Science-backed group fitness classes are a collective experience. While they can also help you build muscle, improve your cardiovascular endurance, and improve your overall fitness, they won’t be as customized as personal training.
You’ll have unlimited access to Equinox classes with your membership, and you can book in-Club classes through the EQX+ app. They’re an excellent way to cross-train in a supportive environment.
Innovative Recovery Services
After pushing hard, give your body what it needs to recover. Follow up your training with recovery services offered in the Spa at Equinox.
Recovery comes in many forms. Find mainstream methods, like contrast therapy, saunas, steam rooms, cold plunges, and red light therapy, as well as groundbreaking ones, such as Aescape’s robot-powered body therapy sessions.
Recovery can support adaptation, consistency, and long-term performance. When you strength train, you actually break down muscle fibers, and the amount of damage can be measured by the creatine kinase levels in your body. Recovery modalities have been shown to decrease creatine kinase levels, meaning your body is healing faster.
And when you heal faster, you can get back in the game faster.

The Power of an Integrated Approach
To build a high-performance lifestyle, take a holistic approach at Equinox. Use your one-on-one sessions with your Coach to train toward a specific goal, like running a marathon or deadlifting your body weight. Take group fitness classes that complement those sessions: Pilates to enhance core strength, MetCon3 to train all three energy systems, and Best Stretch Ever to mobilize, for example. Use Spa offerings such as bodywork or compression therapy for regeneration between sessions.
This three-pronged framework will keep your routine sustainable and encourage consistent progression.
What the Equinox Experience Looks Like in Practice
As an Equinox member, you have the power and tools to build an all-encompassing wellness routine that elevates your performance and everyday life. Here’s how the Equinox experience might work for you:
Following an initial Equifit consultation with your Equinox Coach, you might do two 60-minute training sessions a week to meet your goal of improving your triathlon time. After your sessions, you could hit the steam room and cold plunge pool to promote recovery. In between one-on-one sessions, you might take a yoga class to improve mindfulness and flexibility or a Precision Run class to challenge your aerobic fitness. Afterward, you could use the infrared sauna to soothe any soreness.
Results are built by combining consistency, coaching, and recovery. Equinox brings these elements together to support high-performance living.
