Can I participate if I already have done Function Health?
You can participate in the EQX ARC program if you do not have an active Function Health membership. Please work with your club GM if you have specific questions.
I am pregnant. Can I participate?
Unfortunately, Function Health is not available for pregnant women. Please see Function Health details here. If you would like to train with EQX ARC and forego the Function Health component until you are post-partum, you may still purchase the EQX ARC package. Function Health will honor your membership, but you will need to reach out to their team to “pause” your Function Health membership until after you deliver!

FUNCTION HEALTH
How do I get started with Function Health?
You can access Function Health in two ways:

From the Circle section of your Equinox app by navigating to more and then Equinox circle
From either of these ways, you will be taken to the Function redemption flow.
What is the difference between the two Function Health offers at Equinox?
EQX ARC includes Function Health because our EQX ARC coaches and registered dieticians are trained to interpret your Function Health results as part of the EQX ARC programming. All Equinox members may purchase Function Health separately at an exclusive rate.
