For how many people come in and out this is a relatively clean gym. The front desk staff is grossly incompetent or have an extremely bad, unwelcoming attitude no matter the time of day.

The only reason you should get this gym is locational convenience of having multiple locations in manhattan. There is no other reason for this gym. I've worked out at almost every equinox in lower Manhattan. This one is by far the worst with unprofessional staff and men's locker rooms that are almost never clean or properly stocked in the evening. Their p.a. system for announcements has been broken for months and this is a gym that charges 300$ a month.

Please FIX the PA system!!! Imagine stepping into a gym, pumped and ready to crush your workout, only to be met with a PA system that seems to have been hijacked by a rock concert sound engineer with a vendetta against eardrums. This gym's PA system is so loud, I'm pretty sure even the weights were begging for earplugs.I understand the PA system is used for announcements at 1 hr, 30 min, and 15 min before close, but it's been it an issue since I've been going to this gym for 2 years.

Great facility and location! My trainer Bret kept me motivated throughout our session. She shared many great tips tailored to my needs.

This Equinox is great with its amenities and awesome trainers. For me, the trainer that stands out the most is Bret. I appreciate her skillset and her abilities. She really is knowledgeable and she has helped me improve my form and flexibility. One of the highlights of working with her is that she will help you with assisted stretching, which really prepares me for a workout and helps my muscles recover. Thanks Bret for all that you’ve done!

I just moved to the city and was referred to Equinox Gym on Orchard Street by a friend of mine. One of the workers Bret, is one of the employees who’s a personal stretch assistant, and is dedicated to all her clients that request her and will make you feel refreshed and energized prior working out or after. Bret was very detailed oriented with what stretching techniques she was gonna perform so i don’t get a muscle strain. She’s one of the best employees who helped me save money with her recovery stretch courses compared to the spa prices and I look forward to going to her before or after my workout routine.

The trainer, Bret, is amazing! She's super knowledgeable about nutrition and injury recovery. Gave me the best stretch session. Had me feeling like a new man. ??????

I like the location but not for the price. Not up to par with usual Equinox standards. No reason Orchard should be paying the same as everyone else- we don’t even have a spa. Lastly, for as much as EVERYONE pays you would think they would UPDATE THE PA SYSTEM. What a nightmare. Getting so close to canceling. They really are just lucky to be the local gym.

Since reopening from the pandemic shutdown the gym has gone downhill in terms of maintenance and cleanliness. Equipment is often out of service or falling into disrepair and paint is chipping from the ceilings in the bathroom. There are often towels and water bottles that are left around the facility for consecutive days on end. At least the staff are friendly.Additionally, I don’t like the tracking of personal data that occurs on the Equinox+ app. When you use the contactless check-in method Equinox tracks your location throughout the facility using the Bluetooth beacons built into the Cisco wireless access points. This is creepy. Additionally if I turn on ad blocking on my iPhone the app will not load. For $200+ a month Equinox should be paying me to harvest my data or at least give me an opt out feature. ?
