Equinox River Oaks

ETA the social media team should check before responding. I appreciate the thanks, but this is a one-star review, not a five-star review. If you want quality and outstanding personal trainers, this is the place to go. Otherwise, it's exorbitantly expensive and the equipment and amenities are no better than the downtown Y and most other gyms in the area - most of which offer a lap pool, something this location lacks. Combine that with the locked in an expensive yearly membership. Todd, you are responsible for despite any changes in your ability to pay, and I recommend going somewhere else.

My husband has membership benefits through AMEX and brought our 17-year old son to try out the gym. My husband was told that he could sign up for a trial membership for our minor son on a month to month basis as part of his AMEX membership and could cancel at any time. Now we are trying to cancel and the club is refusing and giving us a very hard time. Equinox is saying the contract is with my son and he is locked-in for an entire year even though he is a minor and cannot even legally enter into a contract on his own. This is ridiculous since the person who met with my husband and son, misrepresented the entire agreement! Based on reading other reviews, it looks like Equinox tricks people like us and locks them into signing contracts that are impossible to get out of.

Very nice gym, well maintained, clean and with beautiful work spaces. I came in different days during the week and never overcrowded. The big windows facing green outdoors trees are very beautiful and it made my workouts a nice experience. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Also this club is located in a nice area, close to luxury stores and good restaurants.

Clean gym, good equipment with reasonable crowds at peak hours. Pricey enough to maintain a more professional clientele. Most members put their earbuds in and keep to themselves. Pretty good about gym courtesy and members don’t hang out on weight machines playing on their phones. No roving groups of teenage boys trying to max out on the bench or groups of teenage girls hoarding the squat racks. All of the fluff of lifetime fitness, without the crowds. This is a gym for individual members, not for families/kids.

Equinox is an amazing gym! It’s incredibly clean, which makes every visit enjoyable. The coaches are all so friendly and supportive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Every class is a blast, keeping me motivated and engaged. I’ve been a member since 2021, and I absolutely love it here!
