This is easily the worst equinox in Los Angeles. To start it's very small and does not have a wide variety of machines, and the leg machine area has been smelling horrible for 3 years now. Next the water all throughout the gym is garbage it tastes like pool water. Lastly theirs a thief that's been going to this equinox for almost a year now and the gym doesn't do anything to help or even care to do anything about it, couple of my buddies got their nice watches stolen, and my other friend got his nice jacket stolen along with a grand In cash. Nothing has been done to solve that. Oh and some of the nice ethnic people that go to this gym like to throw towels and trash on the floors for the janitor to clean, who knows maybe the janitor is the one taking ur watch... read more

I had a great experience with Alina as my personal trainer. She really adjusted my workouts to fit my personal needs. She was very supportive in between our sessions and kept me on track with my calorie/protein intake which really helped me see results very quickly - 3 pounds of muscle in less than 12 sessions! Her teachings have made me feel confident to continue on my fitness journey solo and I would definitely recommend her or any equinox instructor as everyone is very friendly and helpful. read more

This review is for Alina Ridzel who is by far one of the best trainers I have ever had. Alina is very well versed in strength training, nutrition, and women's health. Her personality is nothing but kindness, genuine and tough love. By tough, I mean that she will push you to your full potential. I began seeing her when I was ready for a change. I have always been into nutrition and fitness, but this is no comparison. I was doing it all wrong. She has changed my life by listening, seeing and encouraging me. My body has changed, I'm able to focus, energy level on point. My melasma has even improved with her coaching me on how to eat. I absolutely admire and appreciate her. She is inspirational! She continues to change me for the better. I'm not giving her up! She will continue to impact the many lives she meets and coaches. She is beyond worth it! I'm worth it! The best investment I ever did was to invest in my health and Alina! read more

Nice gym, friendly staff, relatively clean for what it is. Lots of equipment and they have a pool and basketball court.

I love this gym! Absolutely the cleanest gym I have ever had membership. Now the price is steep but it makes up in cleanliness. The steam room is a daily to go for me and the showers are always clean and do not have any funky smells like other gyms. I have never been to a gym that I feel so comfortable going to because of just how clean it is. They have a full time cleaner always taking away new towels, cleaning the showers, cleaning the gym equipment and floors. The gym layout is unique and somewhat small during peak hours but I never have an issue with finding a cardio machine available. Highly recommended, certainly worth the price tag especially if you go to the gym daily to not only workout but use the steam and shower. read more

I recently upgraded my membership to Southern California Access to allow me to go to other gyms, besides my home gym in Pasadena. The Glendale location is less than a mile from me and Pasadena is 8 miles. Unfortunately, upgrading to be able to use the Glendale location was a big mistake. Other mid-priced gyms would have done better. Parking: office parking with small spaces and dark. Pasadena is in an open and almost empty parking garage with wide spaces. Staff Friendliness: the staff at the registration desk was busier talking to each other than greeting. At Pasadena they are friendly and helpful. Gym layout. This is the most odd gym I've been to. It's two stories with the check-in desk downstairs, a store tucked behind the stairs and juice bar placed oddly downstairs. The main floor is on the 2nd floor with the workout equipment along the south side of the building. It is a long row of unorganized equipment. The pictures show how the equipment is not being maintained. Rust?! This is supposed to be a newer location! The ceiling tiles are low and as an average height man, using the stair climbers out you right at the ceiling height. The gym is dark and not welcoming. The gym was not cleaned and not once did I see any cleaning crew in the locker room or on the floor. Plus, there were NO TOWELS for the entire hour I was there. Pasadena uses an industrial look with open ceilings, constant cleaning by four people, dedicated locker room attendants, LOTS of towels, including the cooled towels (Glendale has their coolers closed). Pasadena has towels in multiple locations and has never run out. Big mistake to upgrade so I can go to the location near me . I'll stick with Pasadena and make the drive. While Pasadena is one of the original locations and much older than Glendale, it's been well maintained, cleaner, brighter, better layout and great parking. Plus you can charge your EV next to the gym. read more

This gym is not on par with the other equinox locations. If you're thinking of joining go to Pasadena instead. Bad management. Silly policies that other equinox gyms don't have. It's just low vibe, corporate cluelessness. I have so cal membership and have been to many equinox gyms across so cal and this one is the worst. Not worth the cost when you can go to a nicer one nearby in Pasadena with better yoga teachers. read more

I really enjoyed my time at Equinox Glendale. My trainer, Alina, was amazing! She really took her time to understand my schedule and lifestyle. She adapted my diet plan and workout schedule accordingly. She also took into consideration my hormonal cycle which was phenomenal. I always felt very encouraged with her. She never made me feel judged if I didn't know how to use a machine or didn't have proper form. She is extremely knowledgeable. I was able to lose 10 pounds in my first two months with her. Overall, she is so kind and would totally recommend her to anyone. She is perfect for beginners AND individuals with gym experience. You are guaranteed to have progress with her. read more

i joined Equinox gym in Glendale last year and what i received was subpar customer service and complete disregard from their corporate office. the facilities might be nice, but means nothing when you constantly dealing with rude, dismissive staff who clearly don't prioritize members once they've locked you into contract. when i reached out with a legitimate issue regarding billing i was bounced between local staff and the corporate office. no one took responsibility. emails were ignored for weeks, and when i finally spoke with someone from corporate they were shockingly unprofessional-curt, in interested, and downright rude. i've never encountered a company that treats paying customers with such disregard. it's clear that Equinox is more interested in making a "luxury lifestyle" than actually providing decent service. for the premium price i expected a responsive and respectful customer experience. instead i got indifference and attitude. save your money. there are plenty of gym that care about their members you won't find that at Equinox gym in Glendale read more

I've been a member since the NY days and honestly it's the cleanest gym around. The people are great and the equipment is always available.

I don't where to begin to express my gratitude for the wonderful and inspiring,exceptional experience and hard work I have experienced and accomplished with Alina, Not only did I loose weight, I built muscle, with strength her training experience and knowledge I am a great example and proof that it's possible!!! Alina is above and beyond caring, supportive!!! SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!! LOVE HER!!! read more

I enjoy the classes here. imo, the machine layout is a bit weird compared to other Equinox gyms. It's basically one giant open floor plan instead of multiple levels. But it's always clean and not too busy. I do feel like people are more social at this gym for some reason. Maybe more friends have memberships together? For that reason, the vibe feels more casual than other gyms I've been to, which isn't a bad thing. read more

This gym charges you an arm and a leg but they close on random days just because they feel like it, they close really early on weekends as well. The temperature in the dressing room is always freezing cold. The cleaning crew uses regular shower towels to wipe the shower and toilet floors, I have a video and photos. read more

Horrible customer service starting with the actual manager. You will get 0 dollars from me and my wife. Good bye . read more

Best gym in the world. Always spotless and the staff are the best. Ive been to other equinox locations but this one is my favorite

Linda's Wednesday & Sunday class are the best! Best music and best class format! Highly recommend trying her classes!! Won't disappoint!

I've been here 4 months now, and I have zero regrets. This location is worth the money! You get great workouts with top of the line equipment available. The classes will kill you in the best way -- you'll leave sweating and burning calories! I will say the stretching area is very "sales-y" and that can draw from the experience. But otherwise, it's a great location. Very clean locker rooms. read more

Equinox Glendale - Doing some HIIT training today. - Gyms Near Me - Glendale, California

I have purchased a membership with Equinox couple months ago. When purchasing I spoke to the sales manager if I would be able to cancel my membership before the contract year ends, cause I also live in another country, and sometimes I need to go back for few months. So they said no problem however there might be a slight fee. Now I need to go back to my home country and they said even if they pause my subscription they still be charging over 200$ every month and then credit back at the end of the year period . Why did not they disclose that information earlier, when I asked? I don't feel comfortable with paying my bills for whole year. And in order to cancel the subscription I need new lease contract, or utility bill, or something else proving I will be 25 miles away. Flight tickets and another country issued ID is not enough for them. I told them I don't' have new lease agreement as my parent own an apartment, the utility bills are also under their name. My (another country) bank statement does not have my address as well only my name. So looks like they can not help me and will charge for the whole year. To me it looks very much like fooling people around, when I asked a question the answer was shady, the real information was not disclosed. The club itself is good, but the customer service is awful. read more

Clean and well kept gym, though the hours are a huge downside, and this makes it difficult for those who want to work out in the evenings. I expect a little more availability when paying such a high membership fee. I will be canceling my membership soon to go another gym with more reasonable hours. read more

I feel it's way overpriced for what you get. Where do I begin? The parking is disastrous. I have to pay a dent removal guy $100 every month to remove dings caused by their ridiculously small parking spaces. The club hours are absurd (they close way too early and the opening hours are too late on the weekends), the ugly broken metal blinds never work and you're blinded by the sun at certain times of the day, the place is way too small, the hand towel machine in the restrooms are horrible and leaves little bits of paper all over the bathroom, the seat covers in the restroom are ridiculous.(you can't grab one). This place is way below average and needs to have a person running it that knows how to cater to upper end clients. read more

My favorite Equinox location - it's small but spaced out really well. The negative reviews encouraged me to write an accurate review about this gym. For one, everyone who comes here to work out trains. Which means, everyone is dedicated to their workout. You don't ever see ppl randomly hanging out. This also helps with the flow of the gym as it's smaller. Trainers are incredibly helpful as well and the general manager Azeem has done a terrific job. With Covid, I've never seen a gym adjust to guidelines so well, it was incredibly safe, and clean. I told ppl that the safest place I could be, outside of my house, was this gym. Anyways, if you're dedicated to your training, this is the gym for you. read more

This is a hidden treasure in Glendale if you like quality equipment to work out with. Cool vibe and people. And they have all the towels you need. read more

I 'm leaving a second review because of a bad experience I had today. I was on the treadmill. It was afternoon, the area I was in had less than ten people around. I get approached by some worker telling me "albeit nicely" that apparently someone complained Im talking on the phone. FIRST OF ALL. I had my headphones on. Its not like the person I was speaking to was on loud speaker for all to hear. All ten people. Second of all. If im paying 200 dollars a month I should be able to take a phone call if I choose too and have a conversation. Its bad enough I have to work around limited hours, so if I want to take a call with my classmate regarding school while im power walking on a treadmill in a 200 dollar a month gym guess what IM ENTITLED TOO. What that worker should have done was tell the person who complained about my phone call to be move his tredmill or whatever they were doing being that 90% of the gym was empty. Only thing I like about this gym so far is Jana. If you need a trainer shes your girl. read more

bad approach towards costumers, 2 gust pass per year, rude approach, and i cant even begin to describe how this gym lacks a lot of equipment. read more

Update... visited the gym again on a Monday mid-afternoon. Totally different and improved mask situation. Not sure if it is the weekday crowd versus the weekend crowd but everyone had their mask fully on and no cell phone chatterboxes on the main floor. I appreciate management's response and the improvements! Thank you! read more

I love this Equinox location. I was a member at another SoCal location but moved across town, so had to switch to this one. I was nervous that I wouldn't like Glendale because I had heard it was crowded -- I should never have been nervous! This location is clean, staffed with friendly folks, and not at all overly busy. I was pleasantly surprised at how the classes don't generally fill up, and many are Walk-Ins, which let you be more flexible with your schedule. I actually think the Walk-In works better than reserving, because so many people change their schedule at the last minute, you get penalized if you miss a class, etc. So I love that this gym has so many classes that are in the Walk-In category. (My previous Equinox was cutthroat when it came to reservations... if you didn't book right at the time certain classes opened, you were SOL.) The front desk staff always greet me with a smile, and the instructors are so welcoming and kind. I love the way that they encourage folks in the classes to say hi or good morning to each other. The atmosphere here is nice and refreshing. I also find parking to be relatively easy here. I can often find a spot in the very first row. The front desk validates your ticket and you're in and out. Highly recommend. read more

The good: This gym is clean and doesn't smell like a gym. That's amazing and I don't know how they do it The gym is great if group fitness classes are your thing. If you already pay to goto Rumble, Barre classes, and a spa separately then you can save money by going here and taking the group fitness classes and they offer a great variety. The Bad: If you're not here for classes and the treadmills, be prepared to wait (my personal experience). I've been to 24 hour fitness (both of the Brand locations), Crunch Fitness in Burbank, Gold's Gym in Arcadia, and Equinox Glendale has one of the smaller weight area. It has 2 power racks, 2 barbell bench press stations, 1 deadlift platform, 1 incline and 1 decline barbell bench. Occasionally you'll find people doing hip thrust in the barbell bench press area. The parking here is awful. Sure the gym validates but it's a shared parking lot with other offices with incredibly small parking spaces. Do yourself a favor and just walk into the parking lot and look at the spaces and how cars are parked first before committing to this gym If you're going to cost 3x as much as another gym, I would hope I wouldn't have to spend that much time waiting to use equipment. A lot of that price goes into the facility which I admit is amazingly maintained and all the free classes. The ugly: This gym is a forced one year commitment. They will not cancel your membership for any reason unless you have proof that you moved 25 miles away from an Equinox location or get a doctor's note saying you can't workout for at least 6 months. The person selling you the membership will gloss over this, please pay attention and be sure you actually want to join. Bottom Line: Do you love fitness classes and are you willing to commit to doing this for over a year. Yes? Then this gym is clean and might be what you want. If not, literally any other commercial gym would be more cost effective. Crunch Burbank or 24 hour Super Sport would have the equivalent amount of equipment (or more) at 1/3 the price with no contract if you can live without the eucalyptus scented towels. read more

It's the best gym. Sometimes music sucks. Overall it's fantastic my friends we are there All day every day.

Okay with new management this place is so much better and I rejoined. I still love all the classes and it's really worth the high price if you go to classes a lot. the location is great, parking is easy enough and I feel safe. read more

I finally, FINALLY, managed to get ahold of the manager who seems hellbent on wreaking havoc on our auditory facilities. To reiterate, my request is simply: play the music at a volume that maybe can't be heard through literal noise canceling headphones. Not "turn it off" or even "whisper quiet". Just like, normal. Normal volume. I was told, and I quote: "You can get with the brand or leave." So, cool. Cool manager, guys. Cool. read more

Pros: - clean (honestly could be cleaner for what you pay for though) - never too packed (especially later in the evening) - good classes and instructors - free/convenient parking Cons: - closes way too early - popular classes are too packed - Shant Fournouzian (lol just wanted to put on blast that I had a bad experience signing up with him but it isn't affecting the rest of my review). Lied about equinox rarely waiving initiation fees (they do it like every minor holiday lul). Lies about easily getting out of your year contract (never tried to but still don't appreciate unethical lies). Gave me the most half-assed gym tour (literally stood in place and pointed to the direction of where things are... didn't complain then because I thought that was the norm until I saw guests getting actual tours all the time while I was exercising) Stayed with this gym for a little under a year and a half, scared I set my expectations too high for other gyms. Now that I'm finally at a different gym (also nice but at a third of the price), I realized this place ain't all that (yeah it's definitely the nicest aesthetically but life goes on). No gripes about the facilities themselves-- thought all the machines were pretty new and clean. Also loved using the studio/yoga room to exercise when there weren't classes going on. Main problem for me was the club hours since I'm a night person. read more

I've seen tons of negative reviews here, and I have to disagree. It's clean, equipment works as advertised, and there are fewer posers and less crowds than I saw at other locations like WeHo. Just normal people and not too many of them. I haven't availed myself of training staff, so I just can't speak to that. But they generally leave me alone and I just get my workouts. And when I've needed assistance, they've always been helpful. Sure, the music is a bit loud. And I use the LFConnect on my iPhone and about half of the machines don't connect. But I can always use the QR code interface at the end. So, all in all, this is a fine location if you get tired of the crowds at others. Thumbs up. read more

Beautiful, new facility that takes on the current template for future locations. One example: for those of you familiar with this gym as a whole, if you read the daily NYT printouts, there are no longer 'slots' at the front desk (of class schedules or any other pamphlets); you have to ASK for them. Thus, the communication between the front desk and member is increased. As far as that goes, the front desk gets an A+ from me; they acknowledge you by name after scanning your member card and were helpful with any questions I had (this was my first time here at Glendale). However, there were a few fails, one due to the shop girl who continued chatting with her co-workers in the adviser offices as I was clearly browsing her department. Another issue (this one was not any staff member at fault) was the annoying blonde girl who was speaking LOUDLY on her phone on the treadmill so much that I had to cease my time there. Of course, she followed me over to the weights, talking about the stupid braids in her hair since this must have been important. I didn't take note if this particular location had those 'no cell phone' signs up, not that some of the members would abide by these (or know how to read). Perhaps during peak hour she would have been drowned out by the higher volume of music, or worse yet, more people would be talking on their phones! But this can happen anywhere, I suppose. Otherwise, the locker rooms were nicely stocked with the amenities you would expect from Equinox, and the steam room was top-notch (and functioning!). Melvyn is a great GM, and he seems to do what he can to make this a desirable facility to visit. 2-hour parking in the garage a very short walk away. Don't forget to validate at the desk. read more

Woo hoo! An Equinox in Glendale. Just opened yesterday. The crowds swarmed and cooed over the new facilities, the smoothies on the first floor. So excited was I, I dressed ready to work out. It was -- dare I admit it? -- fun. For most, not all, working out regularly is a grind, we have to pump ourselves up, remind us of how much we love the results. This fitness fashion industry is cleaning up on our desires to look good even when we sweat. To look great before you sweat just adds extra motivation. Equinox's motto it is not fitness, it's life. To me, fitness is life, a grantor of more life, a higher quality life. But we all have our vices, and quite frankly, working out can feel like this weight on your shoulders. Equinox is about making fitness as pleasurable as possible, lifting those burdens and putting a smile back on your face. The locker rooms are sparkling clean. Showers are big and roomy. There's towels, cold eucalyptus towels, lots of trainers, new machines, classes. The general manager, Melvyn Myles, is friendly and on your side. read more

It's funny. Any other Equinox would have reached out. Guess the management here is in their own world. Hope they can take notes from the Hollywood location bc Glendale stinks...literally (get rid of the smelly crates in the showers) eww read more

Equinox Glendale - Gorgeous lobby design but the sofas are kept up very poorly, for a luxury gym. - Gyms Near Me - Glendale, California

I went there to check the fitness center, and I told them i need a month to month membership, because i am not so sure if this is the club for me. The membership enforced me to sign up a 12 month lease and not to worry, it will be cancelled if i didn't like it, or if i didn't use the services. That was a trap, I should of known. Fitness center should not be a stressful experience, but it has become one. Don't sign any lease read more

Much better than downtown LA equinox's lack luster staff (like Thea). Susannah is amazing teacher and it's great that she's the group fitness manager. She was awesome at the gym in Dtla! Great energy and teaching style. As well as all the great teachers from other gyms like Layla and JD. read more

Pretty great gym. ONE THING THO: could y'all please please please time it better when you are walking around handing out towels by the treadmills. Here my fat-ass is trying to sprint and get in my cardio (which I already hate doing, I overcame 13hundred excuses to get my butt into the gym to get to this point) and here comes one of the trainers trying to talk to me in the middle of my being OUT of BREAFTH to offer me a towel. Y'all!! I have a towel! It is visible on my treadmill if you just took a second to look. Now I'm gasping for my last breaths of air, while fighting the mental battle to not eat sh***, and I have to muster up a "no thank you!" to the towel!? Please.....PLEASE change the policy to only offer one when there's not a towel in sight. Pleassssseeeeeeeeee. I do of course, appreciate all y'all do tho. ;-) And I do love Equinox when I manage to get myself in to workout. Thx, E!! read more

Clean gym fun 45minut classes. Lots of towels if you forget yours you don't have to worry. Also one thing I really like they always clean the yoga mats after each class. Also the gym is never too busy to packed. And when you get a personal trainer session after your workout they really help you stretch and they give you a shirt massage. read more
