Equinox in SF gets a somewhat bad rap on Yelp, probably because its crazy expensive (even after corporate discounts) and small compared to other locations. But lets be honest.... the amentities are amazing, the staff are all super friendly, and you dont need to fight for treadmills. Here are some highlights: Pros: - Pool: They have a small pool with 3 lanes, not a common offering at nearby gyms. It gets crowded and you cant reserve a lane, but you can double up. I think the best pool in the area is at Sports Club LA, the gym at the Four Seasons on Market St. - Amenitites: Khiels. Need I say more?? They also sell Lululemon and other items at the store, all of which they will price match. Havent had a chance to check out their cafe, but the smoothies look good. - Equipment: There are actually enough treadmills to go around, and they also have cool machines less commonly available like special treadmills for people with bad knees. The equipment isnt especially unique, but clean and more spacious than Crunch. - Referral Bonus: Dont forget to refer people, you get $100 or so in credit that you can apply towards your membership, spa, or other services! Cons: - Crowded Classes: I am not a huge fan of the classes because they were a bit boring and the ones I did like were so cramped that I couldnt even do the exercises (Beach Body). Some classes are totally available (cycling). None of them are by reservation, and I dont believe they limit class size. - Confusing Hard to Navigate Layout: I also think that the layout of the floors is really confusing and it makes it hard to get around. Overall, if you have the money to spend Equinox is a cool spot but Id rather go to Sports Club LA for a top-tier gym that has a nicer pool, more space, and more classes. For those with basic gym needs (e.g. treadmill and classes), Id recommend Crunch and be prepared for even worse claustrophobia.

One of the best gym in the Fi-Di district. Recently redesigned the work out floors and dressing rooms. The floor layout is good with plenty of top of the line equipment. The dressing room now include the self locking lockers which eliminates the need to carry extra weight in the form of your personal locker. That idea is appreciated even thought at first claimed some confusion. The number of shower stalls has increased significantly and has practically eliminated the weight which used to be a common place at the peak hours. The lockers are well maintained but it never hurts to launch a guy with the vacuum to suck all body hair from the floor on a continues bases. The swimming pool is very nice. I did not noticed any major changes after the remodel. The store upstairs is well stocked and has absolutely everything you might need during or after workout. I used it multiple times and always was able to find good quality products like earbuds, t-shirst, workout gloves and lotions at a reasonable cost. The "Fuel" cafe is awesome. Gives your the perfect balanced meals before and after workout. The simple wholesome food is great. I used the services of the the clubs spa several times. The price for massages is at the top of the price tag but the quality of the massage and service itself is superlative. You get what you paid for. Overall its a fantastic club which offers a variety of classes, personal training, and great feel of an open space. Love it.

What a great exterior! Stellar fitness floor but the locker room is cramped beyond belief! I felt like I was being touched by drunk people at one of those seedy Castro clubs at 4am! I really enjoyed the naked guy waiting outside my shower also! Blehh!!! The equipment is the standard Equinox staples and some of the TechnoGym pieces have twins to avoid waits! The club has been pretty busy every time Ive come in... and uncomfortably so at around 6:00 PM! I think its high time that Equinox starts paying attention to the city and plan on two or three new clubs! There is no way to accurately describe the crowd because anyone and everyone seems to be coming to this club. Beginners, ultra stiff business women, local Asian video store owners, total bitches, cool people, gays, lesbians, big girls that make some of the guys look like rails, music lovers, texters and of course out of town people just trying to maintain "they fitness". No complaints at all about the staff--what awesome people!

If youre looking for the premium of gyms, look no further. Here it is! Service - Excellent services available on site: classes, quality trainers, massage therapists, facials. The staff are very friendly, think, Nordstorms but at a gym. Amenities - Have free Kiehls skin products in the locker room, towel service Location - Great location if you work in the financial district. Its in a building that use to house the old stock exchange. Youll see the Roman architecture as you walk the steps into the building. Cost - If you want premium, be ready to pay a premium. Initiation $300; Monthly Dues $180 Recommendation - Yes, I would recommend this but make sure to consult with your bank account first. She always has the last word, or the joke is on you.

Salt-water lap pool, eucalyptus scented tools, and yoga classes led by the well known and loved Buddy Macuha? SIGN ME UP! This isnt a typical gym. Equinox is an experience. The facility was a bank once upon a time and it has been repurposed into a multi-story fitness experience. The lowest level is a spa, pool, and locker room (complete with steam room), the second floor houses most of the fitness machines and yoga and cycling studio, while the top holds more cardio machines and fitness classes. Ive brought many friends here and referred many members. If you want to be in a place where you feel comfortable and challenged, equinox is worth a look.

As far as the "Elite" gyms go in SF, Equinox has been a long time competitor. With the opening of their Union Street location, its about time that Pine St steps up its game! They have all of the right offerings - a big open floor, mat areas, fantastic trainers, amazing spa and a fully-loaded locker room. However, said offerings have seen better days (trainers and spa aside! theyre always wonderful)... I look forward to the day that they renovate the locker rooms, and move in an Earth Bar. That existing food bar falls short of great. For the rates theyre charging, its time to bring this location up to the high standards of the other locations.

Best gym experience hands down! I love this gym and the classes so much I often use my time there to help jump start my day at 6:30 a.m. Danny the spin instructor Tuesday and Thursday mornings does a great job motivating you to do your absolute best and sometimes more than you ever thought. I love the students who are equally dedicated to fitness as they are often there each and every morning working out like real athletes. The great amenities arent anything to sneeze at either. The standard line thats used at equinox is Khiels products -- from your body washes to lotions. Its pricey club but def worth it!

I have enjoyed working out at this health care facility, however, its management tactics have led me to find another fitness facility. Having been away for work and my wife changed my credit card, the facility charged me $300 and sent a debt collector after me without so much as a courtesy note. Faced with the dilema, I spoke to management; who were not friendly. This is not the way that I want to spend my $150 per month on a health & fitness center. I had heard numerous other complaints about the management of this place, but dismissed them as I had not experienced it myself; well now I have.
