Equinox Paramus

Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the team that works tirelessly to make things happen. Recently I noticed the lady in charge of housekeeping thoughtfully wiping down the handles on the shower doors. I felt impressed by the attention to detail. On other occasions I was kindly and unexpectedly offered a towel while doing cardio. It’s the little things that matter. It means a lot.

I’ve been at Equinox for over a year. The gym is beautiful and feels like you’re working out at a spa. Equipment is pristine and the people are all cool. But the best part of this gym, the absolute biggest game changer, has been their personal trainer Jesse Agbotse. The easiest way to put it is that this guy is an A-Team player, a true gem. He goes above and beyond to help the gym members and has an incredible program. With Jesse’s guidance and unique approach I was able to shed 20+ lbs.

This gym is honestly amazing. It’s impeccably maintained, clean, spacious, and tranquil. Even the app has a premium, high-quality feel. Almost everyone who goes here is so courteous and respectful, and the staff are beyond friendly and really just awesome people. The Equinox crew make everyone feel welcome and included. Elina, one of the trainers, is the absolute best. She radiates positivity and is so knowledgeable and helpful. The classes and instructors are top-notch, and while I wish the gym had a little bit more equipment and weights, it has everything anyone would ever need to get a good workout. Sure, the monthly membership is steep, and everyone’s mileage may vary, but for me, this gym is an oasis to which I look forward to coming every day.

Just a steam room and no dry sauna. Showers are small in men's locker room. Steam room is cleaned daily but is really the only amenity. Not overly crowded but that is more because of the steep member fee. They do require a 1 year commitment. No month to month and no budging on anything. Corporate dictates policies and Paramus cannot modify them. You can barely even get a response back from corporate. I think you can find something that offers more amenities for cheaper.

One of the managers (I think Michelle, not sure if she’s still there) behaves pompously with her nose held high as if she thinks she is better than you. This is probably the most stuck up gym that I’ve ever visited
