Equinox is a negative, venomous clique, not a lifestyle.

Pros

Some trainers love what they do. Some sales reps are there to help, although very few. Some of the mid-level employees love what they do. The floors are clean and the equipment is clean.

Cons

Management in OC is currently just old people trying to live vicariously through their younger ditsy sales clique/instagram friends. This creates a huge gap for the role that is supposed to lead with direction, provide strong guidance and maintain the integrity of an overly priced 24hr fitness. Work here if you enjoy rules made up on the spot about irrelevant situations decided on by inept grown children acting as managers. Work here if you like your sales taken by the sales person that can cry and whine the most. Definitely work here if you enjoy rules of engagement catered by the cliquey manager to benefit their current pet sales rep of the week.

Pros

You get a free membership but that is it.

Cons

"It's not fitness it's life" is their tag line but when you work there you will not have a life outside of there.

Pros

-Free gym membership ( not worth the headache for being employed at Equinox) -Discounted services and clothes (still very expensive after discounts are applied) -Promotional opportunities (so many people quit that you can actually move up the ladder by taking their place but you will be underpaid or overworked)

Cons

-HUGE Turnover -You are underpaid -Working long hours -Poor training (sink or swim environment) -No support from management (not willing to teach you if you're stuck) -Poor benefits (need to wait a long time for benefits to kick in) -Unprofessional colleagues (gossip environment & cliquey)
