This gym is probably the nicest gym Ive visited. At the time, I had to find a place which was easily accessible from my office and open seven days a week. Its one of a nationwide network of high-end workout centers across the country. They manage to stay in larger metro areas and offer a high-priced nationwide package for the frequent business traveler. Staff members are great...always with a smile as you enter and leave the gym. Busiest times Ive seen are Mondays and Wednesdays after work. I can get in, complete a work out, shower and get back to my desk in just over an hour. Not bad. I have yet to take any classes there, which is sad because theres something there for everyone. One thing to note, I lost my iPhone at this gym and was really disheartened when no one turned it in. Dont get me wrong - the staff did their best to look for it, and felt awful it happened. But I dont think that members who pay such high gym fees necessarily need to lift an iPhone. It was an expensive mistake but DONT LEAVE YOUR ELECTRONICS lying around. Huge Pluses: -Large amount of friendly, engaged trainers (you can really tell the ones that care about their clients) - Discount coupons to store and spa after joining - You can check in, reserve a spinning bike, check class schedules and find other gym locations via an Equinox iPhone app - Extremely clean - Almost no waiting for equipment - Eye candy galore - Monthly lockers, laundry service and towel service available - Immaculate lap pool - Complimentary one hour training session and full body assessment with membership - Complimentary 30 minute message - Full line of Kiehls products for use in the locker room and for purchase at the store - An occasional celebrity sighting - At times, awesome music Minuses: - Membership fees are much higher than other gyms in the area - The gyms underground. No windows but well lit. - Cell phone receptions not that great (see above). I guess this could be either a blessing or a curse. - Initial 12-month contracts, after its month-to-month - Corporate discounts only happen if you get more than 15 people to join after you inquire about setting up the meetings. Doesnt seem like a lot but when you only have 75 people in your office, and the people that can join already are members, its tough. Yes, I feel a bit of exclusivity when I go there. There are a ton of business professionals that work out during lunch and after they leave the office. Deals are discussed, people interact with each other and you may even see a celebrity or two. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness and the fact you hardly ever have to wait for anything.

After a lengthy conversation with Rayme Gorniak the General Manager in regards to a double charge on my daughters gym membership with Equinox I most say I was deeply disappointed that they could not make an adjustment to refund Septembers payment. The double charge resulted in an attempt to put an account on hold for the month of September. The September payment was charged along with the freeze fee of $30. This saddens me because my daughter enjoyed the experience that Equinox offered but the fact that they charged me twice for one month and could not offer any credit angers me!

We joined a month ago, and are more than satisfied. They actually provided all of what was promised when we signed up. We swim laps 4-6 days a week and go when it should be under-utilized. That works well, with only a couple waits for lanes in over two dozen visits. Staff attitude is great. Facilities are ultra clean. The thin runny soap could be better, but Ill live.

The classes here are unparrelled. I love the fresh eucalptys towels and the personal trainers are all so knowledgable. When you sign up, they do an "equifit" which tells you where you currently stand in your fitness and body strength. I am used to going to the doctor but noone has ever told me by BMI, etc. I am absolutely addicted to this place!

If you work on Mag Mile this is one of the best gyms in the cities with staff, equipment and group fitness classes. Equinox is known for its high quality instruction and unique, effective classes. Try the CORE classes.. they arent just for your waistline.. they are about helping you create lifestyle changes

Andrea Metcalf

If you havent take the CORE VALUES class yet at Equinox in Chicago youre missing out. A circuit class that focuses on conscious movement - meaning youll burn more calories by getting your mind engaged in your movements. An amazing multi-level class - check out Jen H and Tanya L instructors- They rock!

Equinox is an unbelievable workout experience. From start to finish, great group fitness and personal training to clean steam rooms and locker rooms stocked of quality products. Equinox makes you want to work out, and who doesnt want that?

clean. very good classes, they have kids club for two hours limit. $2 parking for three hours. I think it is good for the price except one year commitment...only way to outs are 1. job loss, 2. relocation of 25 miles, and 3 doctors note.

Im visiting from New York City. One of the best clubs Ive experienced in my coast-to-coast travels. No complaints. Top o the line services. Friendly, supportive. Classes are FUN. Staff is warm and helpful. KUDOS all around, guys!

Mary Lou Botsford

Great location on Michigan Avenue. Classes follow each other so a two to three hour workout is possible. The club is cleaned every three hours. Smells fresh and clean. Front desk is friendly. Restorative Yoga class is excellent.

Very nice premises, lots of equipment. My favorite thing- cooled wet towels with essential oil sent. Takes the exercise to the next level. The spa awesome. Very good professionals there always addressing the problems.

Best gym in the city AND if you have the all access pass ~ best traveling gym membership out there. Classes are fab, training staff (especially Victoria) are top notch, clean and friendly ~ you couldnt ask for more.

Ralph Braseth

Great gym, but rating is impacted by the value. Up front charges go up to $500 and the monthly rate is roughly $150. It seems like an okay price until you cost it out for a year which comes to $1,800. My o

Obsessed with Equinox! Hands down best gym in Chicago! The instructors and group fitness classes cannot be beaten in addition to the cleanliness and amenities offered- free Kiehls products on top of it!
