Sad to say that their employment model leaves a lot to desire.
Pros
Free gym membership, way to create connections in your industry for yourself, clean environment. Amazing experience for members.
Cons
Equinox clearly does not value their employees. I have seen so many people attempt to make their model work, and for the very few that it works for, that's great, but the majority of employees end up leaving within a year of starting. It's sad. I could literally make more money working at a McDonalds than with this company. Their management is underpaid, which makes them self-serving and not want to be helpful. Additionally, many of the employees have spent a lot of money to get training in their field and are being paid minimum wage. It is not worth the experience. Employees make a lot of money for the company and see little to no return. Clients feel the hit when their favorite trainer/pilates instructor/massage therapist leaves and they are stuck with a package that they don't want to use with anyone else. Also - if you give in to ANY extra demands (oh come in for this one client) they will expect it from you constantly. It is not worth the time and effort here.
