Don’t understand how a $250 a month gym can have a location that has cold / lukewarm water in the locker room literally for months and months.

The Equinox location boasts excellent service, a pristine gym environment, and a welcoming team of staff.

Definitely one of the most unique Equinox's I've been too. The men's locker room downstairs is something out of Bladerunner. I was actually intimidated by it. I actually had a hard time finding the entrance and had to walk around the footprint of the building it was located in. Otherwise, the facilities and the equipment is pretty typical of Equinox.

Spacious and clean, that's what I was looking for, in a gym. I found it here. Very generous staff.

Excellent sports club with a lot of equipment and fun classes. All trainers and advisor are very friendly. I recommend you contact Celia Fleckner, who has been an amazing membership advisor for me.

If this gym were cheaper I'd give it 4 stars, but due to the expense it's 5. I actually get a discount since I work in the building. I can use this one and the Dartmouth one on the weekends. What's good: - Very clean, both locker rooms and floor. - Lots of cardio equipment on both levels. - enough places to stretch out. - Weights of all sizes which is good for us ladies. What's not good: - Music is LOUD. Yet, everyone has air pods in. Who is listening to the music? Turn it down. - Not enough squat racks. One downstairs, and 3 upstairs. Always full. Need more space for olympic bars. - Hard to use TRX. It's either in the workout studio which has classes or there is 1 downstairs but in between other equipment. - Locker rooms are so crowded in the morning and HOT. So hot. Getting ready in a sauna pracitcally. Locker room is 20 degrees warmer than the workout floor. - Two floors is inconvienent. Not all equipment is on the each floor so you end up going up and downstairs a lot. I have not done personal training.

Decent gym. Has everything you need but closes at 2 PM on Saturdays and is closed on Sundays. For a gym that you pay over $200 a month for its a bit ridiculous.

Really good gym equipment, but subpar customer service and communication (pulling teeth comes to mind ?). To be fair, a couple of their agents at the reception are superb, very friendly, and helpful!More so, they consistently struggle with having the HVAC system in the right settings, and it is usually the luck of the draw if you are going to be comfortable or miserable inside the Franklin Street branch. Oddly, that's not the case in their other branches.On the flip side, their fitness classes are really good. That's one of the things they have done right, and a special thanks to their phenomenal yoga instructors!I think dropping the ball consistently with HVAC and communication warrants a single star from me.

These gyms in Boston are too funny. Post-Covid these gyms are almost completely empty 90% of time, yet Equinox is charging $220+ a month for a basic gym membership. Who the f*** would pay that much to go to this shithole besides a bunch of yuppie trust fund babies swiping someone else's credit card? Smh what a joke.

Went in for a tour before starting a membership and love the gym. It's very clean and has all the equipment I'd like for a workout. Love the extra service they offer members. Met with Celia, she was very kind and answered all my questions. She sold me on the membership and how they tier their personal trainers. Highly recommend.

Horrible customer service experience. They promised you what you would get after joining, and this would be gone when your “account manager” leaves equinox. Once that person is gone, you’re left completely in the darkness. Nobody to contact and if you call them they only tell you someone would reach out to you. Besides, once the person you managed to contact leaves the location again, you have to start over and find someone to help you again!

Totally full of themselves thinking they can charge ridiculous prices for a gym and personal training. Wanted to charge me $1260 more than a friend of mine that signed up two months earlier. That is per year! All told they wanted to charge $3780 per year when my friend pays $2520 per year. On top of that they wanted to charge me $8160 for 48 training sessions which is $170/hr. I would have more than likely paid for the trainers because they are known for this, but when they cannot give you a similar rate to what others are paying because they think you have the money is ridiculous. Especially when you are prepared to spend $8160 on just the PT. All told that is $11940 for 16 weeks of PT and one year at the gym. That is a lot of money for anyone to put down. With this amount of money I was able to get two weeks of health spa vacations in La Jolla, CA and I am talking to several independent trainers that have made names for themselves in the area and will get 16 weeks from them. It took me a bit to find out who is who and who the best PT trainers are in the area. Certainly not at Equinox since the trainer they were going to assign me too you cannot find any information about them. So for me I am now spending ... $280 at Planet Fitness for Black Card $4320 for 48 PT session, plus 3 more for free $6400 for two weeks at an all-inclusive health resort in CA $560 for round trip tickets Total all together is $11560 which is $380 less and much more enjoyable than Equinox. Let's check the checklist. 1) Year long gym membership with access to every gym at Planet Fitness has around the world 2) 16 weeks, 3 days a week of PT training with a top trainer 3) 2 weeks at a health spa resort 4) Oh yeah, traveling to California On a related note, I was a member of this gym years ago. They played funny games with me where they allowed people that live more than a certain distance away to get out of their contract with no problems. I was well beyond that distance. Instead, they changed my address to their location at 225 Franklin Street and tried to tell me I was not able to get out of the gym membership because I lived at the same building as the gym. I had to report them to the attorney general to get out of the membership. I would not have gone back if it hadn't been so many years and my business partner and life coach recommended that I go for the PT. Just goes to show that a leopard cannot change their spots. Avoid this gym! There are better gyms out there.
