Equinox Sports Club Los Angeles - Los Angeles, California

A.J. Dorn

I unfortunately fell victim to theft at this location on Friday. My Rolex was stolen out of my gym bag in a secure locker / I have come here for years and this was the first time this has happened. I write this post not to feel bad for myself but to warn other members. For the price I pay monthly (most expensive gym in LA) I guess I was naive to think my possessions were safe in my locker. Equinox of course takes zero responsibility and just said they've escalated it to their asset protection team. I doubt they'll warn their members and I cannot be the first person this happened to. No signs of break in so it was either a professional that can pick the lock or an employee with a master key. I guess I was targeted, such a violation and shame.

Amazing sport club in LA. I’ve been only to this Equinox and I loved it. I’ve tried some other gyms and this one is my favorite. High quality service, clean spaces, interesting classes and a huge variety of choice! The monthly subscription is very expensive though, but if you can afford it, I think it’s worth it!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this sports club. The parking structure elevator has not been working for over a month, making accessibility a major inconvenience. The locker room is always dirty, and the weight equipment and lighting throughout the entire gym are outdated, especially the basketball court.

I recently moved to the Equinox from Lifetime Fitness since Lifetime Fitness doesn't have a Los Angeles location. Lifetime was a much higher quality gym, and at a lower cost. Equinox, you need to do better.

Message to Equinox Corporate:

Dear Equinox Corporate,

Please prioritize the renovation of your Sepulveda location. The outdated equipment, poor lighting, and consistently dirty locker rooms are unacceptable. I am paying over $380 a month for my membership. This type of experience should be unacceptable.

Sincerely,
A Disappointed Member

Im a member of the South Bay location. I recently moved to this area so I went to ask to transfer to this location. The people in the lobby were extremely rude and acted completely snobby. They told me that the UCLA discount would decrease my fee from 295 to 290, is that a joke?!! I rather they say they do not take any discounts. Anyways, I will attend another gym

So as far as Equinox goes, I pay about $330 a month for all locations except Hudson Yards.
This is one of the best locations in socal, as it has a ton of amenities, but there are a few things that could be easily fixed and would make my experience a whole lot better.

Let's start with parking. Why am I being asked to pay for parking? Even at $2/3hours? And really is 3 hours enough to workout, enjoy the spa and amenities? I kind of think it's a little out of pocket considering how much we pay... and I heard there's another location where it's $8 No way.

Can someone say financial abuse?

Next up, why is there all this space for food, smoothies and coffee as soon as you enter, but it's NEVER open. I mean, I would've assumed y'all wanted to take our money? No?

Especially with having all this area that we can sit and work at afterwards, it would be nice to be able to have the option to not have to leave to go grab food or drinks and then pay another two dollars to park again.

Lastly, I think it's a little bit weird to have a steam room and not have a eucalyptus scent throughout it, why would I want to be in a room, inhaling steam amongst people who just worked out? If I'm not mistaken, Hudson yards has this in their steam rooms, so I know it's possible.

One of the 'DESTINATION' membership Equinox gyms in Los Angeles, along with Century City - so expect to pay higher if you're looking into membership ($265/month vs $325/month). I would give it 5 stars, but not sure why you have to pay for parking if you already pay so much for membership :')

(+) has an 8-lap swimming pool! This is inside. Can get crowded but usually has at least 1-2 lanes free whenever I've gone. Used to be more hectic feeling last year, but they have since hired a team member to make sure people stay within the 30-minute allotment time
(+) HUGE workout space -- whether it's the main studio, yoga studio, or weights area
(+) lots of cardio equipment, so never an issue to have to wait for a machine
(+) they cap the number of people in the fitness classes, so you are NEVER going to feel so cramped for space as the other Equinox locations; think only here and Century City do this well
(+) has an outdoor patio area you can read on/sometimes have playground classes at near the pool; not as nice as Century City

(-) even though it has huge weights area, I've seen it get pretty crowded on the weights
(-) you have to pay for parking to park in the lot (?i think) or choose to park on the meters. You can park further on non-metered street parking but at night this can feel kind of sketchy b/c 2 blocks down, there is a large homeless encampment area
(-) front desk staff is not as friendly as West Hollywood or Century City or Miracle Mile to me, but this is not a big deal
(-) crowd is a bit older at this gym - might be given the pricepoint
(-) when I signed up (this was my old home gym), I felt my membership advisor promised me a deal after I signed up that he never followed through with

Personally, I think if you don't swim, would opt for the SoCal tier membership. Each gym, interestingly or not, has its own vibe to it. This personally ranks as my 2nd favorite Equinox gym given its yoga studio. If you're OK with walking from the non-metered street area, it's also good because there's no time-limit, so if you take back-to-back classes, you don't have to pay extra/anything for parking (vs 2h limit validation at most other gyms).

This place is a joke. The most expensive Equinox in LA and also the only one that makes you pay for parking? $2 charge but wait, if you want to use a credit card that will be another $1. Laughable. The basketballs they provide are terrible and either low on air or way too much air. Terrible

Liberal SJWs of the "tolerant left" who can't abide a differing opinion. Look at the state of your reviews as if you've got the moral high ground when there's quite a few accusations of theft and indifference from the staff for the LOW LOW price of >$300 a month. Crooks
