Pros

membership kinda. Many staff members were great people.

Cons

vulgar managers, abusive workplace. Managers sleeping with managers and staff. Regional manages sleeping with club level managers. Vulgar language in the workplace constantly. It was an awful work experience. I have worked for a few different fitness companies and I was left shocked by the horrible unprofessional behavior., bully tactics, and frankly awful human beings. There are many reviews that say "great place to work!" and so on, AVOID EQUINOX. You have been warned! those positive reviews are made by the company to try and make a positive spin on a horrible place. There are MANY better places to work in the NYC area. DO NOT waste your time, effort, and energy with this place.
