Spring Equinox.
Months back, while walking to Copley, I noticed that a building near the Back Bay T station was going to be adding a, Equinox Fitness.
Equinox is a popular gym chain in NYC. I had quite a few bosses during my career in that city that worked out there. It was always out of my budget, so I never went in the place. But it looked beautiful, even from the outside.
Well, while out and about today, I walked past the gym, and decided to go up and check it out. It was beautiful.
The place just opened this past week. And everything shiny and new. I got a tour of the joint, and there was a lot to see...
Because Equinox is new, and on the expensive side, it's pretty empty. And most people seem to go in the evenings, or so I was told. (I'm strictly a morning gym gal.)
The best thing about Equinox, though, wasn't all the amenities it had... (Free razors in the locker room!) It was the selection of classes they offer that won me over..
As part if my membership, they gave me two free week-long passes for friends. If anyone wants one, let me know. You get to try out Equinox (which is only in Back Bay) for a week for free.

- Rows of cardio equipment
- Weight space that's not crowded
- A room with punching bags and gloves
- An insanely beautiful yoga/pilates studio
- A kinesis section
- A spa
- And the most beautiful locker room I have ever seen

Have you looked into Healthworks? My gf loves it (and primarily only does classes.)
Equinox, for me, is also worth it because it's near my home and I LOVED the classes they offer.
