Nowhere near the amount of space required for the members they allow. 4: 30-8: 00pm on any weekday is packed, unable to complete workouts in any reasonable time

Love the high line location, great Equinox in the city. Chill and not too crowded. Super clean, great helpful staff.

I’ve been going to the Equinox High Line for months now and it’s been an awesome experience across the board. Very well kept facilities, friendly staff, and great overall setup. Never too crowded.

One of my favorite equinox locations, and trust me I go to them all.
The yoga studio is so amazing as you get an amazing view of the high line and I love how it is never too crowded at this location and the layout makes sense. They also have an amazing TRX class that not a lot of other studios offer. Great studio!

I live in WV but make my way up to the Highline Equinox in Chelsea because it’s never crowded and the staff is so pleasant. The other clubs nearby are all Destination clubs so they cost more too. This is a great hidden gem!

Money can’t buy fitness
I have been a member of Crunch for many years, so was excited to try something new.
What a mistake.
Upon entering Equinox High Line, the first thing I noticed was the size of their clientele.
In Crunch, one is often greeted by a range of svelte men in their mid 20s, former college jocks and fitness hungry mums.
Gone was this crowd, replaced instead by the sort of person whose body wobbles every time they do a bench press.
I fear a lot of them had subscribed to the view that, when paying $500 to join plus $250 a month for fitness, the pounds should just magically melt away - even with just one gym visit a week!
Ladies, gentlemen and people of non-specific genders, I am afraid this is not how your body works.
Slightly perturbed, I made my way over to the machines.
Shock, they were EXACTLY the same as the ones in Crunch - with the same layer of icky bacteria on the handles to match.
The rowing machines were fun but, again, same as Crunch.
Carpet was nice and hoovered well, just like Crunch.
Baffled, I began to survey the gym to see what it was actually offering that might justify its ludicrous price tag.
I noticed an ironic fridge filled with scented towels on one side, a nice touch but hardly necessary. They also had edgy taps to dispense water - also nice but not needed.
Confused, I asked a member of staff whether the scents in the towels would somehow make your muscles grow faster. They looked about as confused as I was.
The sauna was nice but, again, hardly merited all the hubbub and chit chat that surrounds it.
If you have a couple of hundred to piss up the wall, then, rather than giving it to this gym, I would suggest you donate it all to a homeless shelter. That might actually make the streets of New York safe enough for that morning run you crave!

The air conditioning situation is unbearable. I would not recommend signing up to this location.
6/1 update - the ac was fixed. Thank you!

Unacceptable Equinox experience. There were no benches, aging equipment and no towels to be found for more than a half hour. The front desk staff did not seem to care, considering many others in the locker room were complaining. The brand has gone downhill in recent years, clearly cutting corners to cut costs and of course raise prices. Will be considering cancelling until issues are resolved and implore others to think about the same. The beauty of NYC is that there is always another, often better, alternative to most things.

I visited the place again today. It's surprising to find that their operational hours remain unchanged, closing at 7pm on both Saturdays and Sundays, even though the COVID-19 pandemic has long since ended. The maintenance team's presence can be rather overwhelming; it's not uncommon to see vacuum cords haphazardly spread out during peak hours, leading to members often stumbling over them.
An unfortunate incident happened today, where a man was unable to handle the weights on the bench press and dropped them onto his chest. Instead of offering assistance, the maintenance team just vacuumed around him as he grappled with the weights. Thankfully, another member stepped in to assist him. It's disconcerting to realize that the staff here lacks both knowledge and initiative, a combination that could potentially lead to legal troubles for the gym due to their incompetence.
Moreover, it's a regular sight to see members monopolizing multiple machines during peak hours. It's not unheard of for individuals to leave their belongings on up to three machines simultaneously. Management should email members of this gym, reminding them of proper gym etiquette rather than allowing a hostile environment to fester. I’ve seen members get into arguments with each other when a rude member is monopolizing multiple machines during a busy time. To put it bluntly, this gym is far from an ideal workout environment.
The sole reason I frequent this gym is due to its convenience – its location just below my apartment, coupled with the fact that its membership fee is bundled into my rent.

Extremely disappointed. The AC has not been working for over 2 weeks now. Asked several times about it. They keep saying "we are looking into it" etc. I am sorry, but paying the hefty monthly membership fee to workout at a gym without AC is unacceptable. This is supposed to be "High-end".
Additionally. The hours of operation are the most ridiculous thing I have seen. Weekends closes at 7PM? Wow

Small hot gym. Be prepared to wait for any machine you are looking for, Mens room is pretty gross - would not shower there,

An incredibly clean gym and friendly staff. Recommend the Saturday morning Yoga. A bit crowded at peak times but otherwise this location is a great, modern space.

Always a fantastic workout experience when I go to the High Line location - I love the open concept of the weights area and the spaciousness of the locker room. Also, the yoga and Pilates studio upstairs have amazing views of the high line and all of the instructors I’ve had were top notch. Will return every time I’m in the area!
