I primarily use Equinox Newport Beach for free weights and treadmills, and it's been a great experience. The treadmills and equipment are well-maintained and noticeably more modern compared to my home location in Palo Alto. The men's locker room is clean and well-kept, and the AC is kept at a comfortable temperature throughout the club, though the treadmill section could stand to be cooler. Front desk staff are super friendly and welcoming every time I come in. You also get 2 hours of free parking validation. The club itself is on the smaller side, but the spacing is great, never feels cramped or like you're fighting for equipment. read more

I would say the gym itself is nice and most of the staff are friendly. However, I lost my engagement ring there. It's not only valuable but also has great sentimental meaning to me. Unfortunately, the management made very little effort to help me find it. They didn't allow me to post any signs about the lost ring and didn't even notify their staff to keep an eye out for it. It felt like the situation was simply brushed under the rug. For a high-end gym, I expected much more care and concern for what happens to their members. Instead, I felt ignored and extremely disappointed. I even asked to cancel my membership because I no longer feel secure there, but that request was denied as well. I'm new to Equinox, but this experience has been terrible. Based on how this situation was handled, I would not recommend this gym to anyone. read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but after seeing the gym with our advisor, Austin, absolutely had to!!! He is seriously the best and made the whole experience super easy and smooth. The gym is so clean, the people are incredibly friendly. It wasn't overly crowded and everyone seemed to be very focused on their workouts. Austin even gave me info that was specific to what I was looking for, like the yoga/pilates classes and the best times to go. He was awesome to communicate with and would be the reason we committed to this location!! read more

My favorite gym in OC!! It's well-maintained, clean, quiet, and spacious. Parking is in the structure but can be validated at the front desk. There is no sauna, but there is a steam room + showers. I've taken a sound meditation class and it was truly so relaxing. The yoga classes here are really great & restorative. There is an Earthbar inside, which has smoothies, bowls, toast, etc which is super convenient after a workout! Overall, I love this gym! Get the membership! read more

Anyone saying this gym is great must be getting some kind of discount on membership cause this place is trash. Small gym, no equipment, and the GM is huge. Go to lifetime across the street or if anything club studios that are actually luxury. Those places embody this area of California much more than this shitbox that costs 215$ a month read more

Equinox on Jamboree may be smaller than some other locations, but it's hands-down my favorite. The locker room and sauna area are spotless, always clean, and it smells amazing. Yes, being a smaller gym means there might be fewer machines or classes compared to larger Equinox clubs, but the atmosphere is wonderful. The staff are always so friendly, and the classes--especially barre and yoga--are fantastic with great instructors. I highly recommend it! read more

Great Equinox Club and Spa! The spa is fantastic and I love getting facials and massage! The outdoor pool and area is nice and relaxing. Well maintained and great level of service. Very clean club and warm staff. read more

This is great location. It's a relatively quiet gym and very spacious. They have really nice machines and everyone seems be polite

This is the best Equinox in OC IMO. I've been to the Huntington Beach one (great views) and the Main Street Equinox, but the Newport Beach one is the best overall. It's always super clean, you can get on weights/equipment easily, staff is super friendly, and they pretty regularly get in new equipment, different handles, etc. The GM Jordan is always cruising the floor and saying "hi" to members - setting a good vibe for the gym. read more

I've been a member at this Equinox since 2019. The only reason I'm leaving is because I'm moving, and I'm so sad about it! Everyone is so kind, from the front desk staff and maintenance crew to the class instructors and trainers. I trained with Chris Manous, and I can't recommend him enough! He is so knowledgable, welcoming, and fun to train with. I looked forward to my sessions every week, and I've gotten stronger and learned so much. He really tailors the sessions to your goals and is a great motivator. My favorite class instructor is Michael Gilbert. He teaches cycle and he is the best! Every class is a blast, and he makes everyone feel seen and welcomed. His classes are always full, and there's good reason for that! If you're looking for a gym with great amenities, awesome staff, and where you can find community, Equinox is worth checking out. read more

I really need help getting this Refunded Rebekah completely ended up ignoring me after she said that she was leaving for the weekend on a break. Annie said the same thing about 10 times...Also the phone call conversations that we had were obviously not recorded. I dont have proof of her saying the promises she gave. Which is unfortunate and I feel bamboozled and tricked into the membership . I genuinely feel so sad that this is occurring because I really did enjoy Equinox gym and the friends I made there. Even though I was being contacted by Rebekah as well....after completely being ignored by Annie after she realized that I have been trying to contact her to cancel and she had specifically told me " Gihae I Promised You I Will get you All the Money refunded from the time that you did not enter the Gym, I Promise You. Please Don't be stressed over this anymore and we will get it fixed". Ended the calls and then later said that she has all of a sudden " Yea Im just the middle man at this point lol" (in the texts) ....She promised me over the phone that it was already; being processed & cancelled....months ago. Annie said that I would get all the months I did not go because she told me I was good to go in March/April (Wherever was said on the texts and emails).... When Annie gave up and told me to reach back out to Rebekah...she knew my name when she was first emailing me because my documentation I was sending had my full name... She then suddenly switched my name to Michelle.....Rebekah & Annie completely ended up ignoring me after she said that she was leaving for the weekend on a break. Annie said the same thing about 10 times. I CC'd them both with my responses with my name on the screenshots and paperwork and account name on the following Monday My name is Gihae.... and it goes to show the disrespect of her not even replying & later sending me emails intentionally typing my name as Michelle... All of my accounts show that my name is Gihae Hong....Not Michelle.... It's not even my legal name Nor did I sign up with anything that says Michelle. Just wanted to inform you guys about that as well ... Super disrespectful & Very obvious There are also pictures of me being contacted by the Equinox Instagram Page. After no replies I was frustrated because they replied only when they saw that I actually had a following that could impact the name ,and my influence over my fans brought up a lot of other people that had signed up and had a terrible experience with cancellations. Claiming that you guys are "hell to Cancel with" I'm very sorry for posting it on my story but I needed someone to reach out ! I have the messages between the account basically of Equinox telling me that they too would get this issue resolved and saw that I had " Rebekah from the club has been in contact.She will be the appropriate person to help with this cancellation and will assist you further with this issue".... this was never resolved...Not even an apology for a customer. Just a reply to get me to shut up. Rude beyond words. I have the email of Rebekah telling me that she would reply to me once she was off her "break for the weekend" . I moved back in Feb-March 2024 ..... Like I said it's September the 19th . I feel very used and exhausted from the amount of effort I have to put in just to prove that I was doing what I was told, to cancel this membership Months ago and that I should be reimbursed This is not including the hacked account on the first day, the mistreatment at the Santa Monica Location for trying to use a restroom and being told I didn't have the upgraded account to be allowed entry into the club...which we talked about and saw that I actually did have that membership level. Socal Pass. and the Person that tried to literally hurt me for using a squat rack in the Downtown Los Angeles Gym. I never used the passes given to me for the 2-3 guest passes. I never received the promised 3 Day pass for my Father when I initially signed up , and 99% of the promises made to me were absolutely unfulfilled. I even tried to help Annie when she locked herself out of her car the first month of me being there. She had called me asking for help too....It's ridiculous . I enjoyed the Janitors, the Cleaning ladies and the Front Desk people more than I enjoyed my experience with Equinox, Please don't treat people less than just because they didn't pay for the $500 or $25k a year pass . It is just wrong. Everything I was paying for was out of my own pocket...and I'm a student. Being charged $300 every month for months after being told I was cancelled is a lot of money for a 26 Year old Independent Student. Or for anyone period. read more

Well again first time here in a while and they made those important changes. The locker room mostly re-done with automatic locks on the lockers and generally well done with some nice wood all around. Some other notes. This place really has about everything on the floor and some new things added. Also, with the Equinox Sports Club pretty close, this place does not seem to get too crowded so plenty of room. Updgrade to 5 stars seems appropriate. read more

This is the saddest Equinox I've ever been to. I thought Encino was bad. As the young folk say "this isn't giving"-- when something is subpar or meh. I feel this applies to this location. It's meh. I definitely would cancel my membership if this was my home gym situation everyday. Not worth the 265+ monthly for this. 1 star for the strong water in the showers. Staff was friendly. It was clean enough. Not DTLA Equinox staff bleaching the mats and cleaning machines 24/7 type of clean, but not Beverly Hills No Soap in 3 sink dispensers dirty. The locks aren't the integrated pincode type. Not a fan of having to bring your own lock. Layout: yikes. it felt like a big play yard. Everything together. I went to the front desk and asked where the rest of the gym was. They said this was it. I said "oh" The trainers hog up machines and squat racks for a really long time. That's kind of annoying but I guess it's bringing in additional revenue so can't really blame them. read more

This review is for Annie H. The membership Advisor. I considered joining Equinox and had many questions. Annie was absolutely incredible, she's extremely knowledgeable of the Company and local clubs. She was there to answer every question I had and gave me the opportunity to process my options! I ended up joining and utilizing the SoCal Region pass. Thanks to Annie I felt really confident in joining and am so grateful for her and her experience! read more

Lilia is one of the most experienced estheticians I have come across Orange County. She has gone above and beyond, and her knowledge with skincare as well as treatments for my skincare needs. She takes her time in providing excellent service in a beautiful ambiance and her energy in itself is such great therapy. I have been coming to this gym in the past, and I regret not getting facials sooner with Lilia. read more

Staff are great, but ownership flat out doesn't care. For $200 a month, the sinks shouldn't be constantly clogged. The steam rooms shouldn't have problems at least once a week. And there shouldn't be elliptical and stair climbing machines that more often than not are on the blink. Tired of the same problems not getting fixed because Stephen Ross needs yet another yacht to flaunt. Strongly considering other options. If you're not already a member, DO NOT JOIN read more

This isn't my usual location, but thought I'd share my thoughts as compared to other equinox locations in the socal area. Pros: - gym layout is simple and good - clean - front desk staff are nice - the outdoor basket ball court and pool look very nice Cons: - outdated cardio machines - Parking is in a structure across the street and takes away some of your validation time just by walking from your parking spot to the gym door. - Hard to find as a first time guest - the locker rooms are EXTREMELY outdated. And no integrated locks! (Bring your own!) way too subpar as compared to other locations. Also they usually have spare locks but had none available for me to use - the tiles in the steam room don't seem slip resistant. I caught my self from skipping when walking out read more

I had the pleasure of being introduced to this gym by Savannah Bland (membership advisor). Savannah was very professional, friendly and welcoming in giving me a tour of the gym as well as discussing all of their membership options. She even gave me a complimentary 1 on 1 training session with Trainer Micah who was very knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful during our training session. As far as the gym itself, I would rate it 4/5 stars due to its limited size/ parking/ and amenities. This gym is perfect for adults looking for personalized generic fitness/nutrition goals with a larger budget than average. I recommend anyone come here and experience their professional hospitality to see if this is the right gym for you. read more

My daughter is a Harvard student. Since she doesn't have much of work experience and wanted to have a job with flexible hours, decided to sign up for Pilates class at Equinox. They notice her interest, promised her after she completes the program, they will offer her a job which is a BIG LIE!!! My daughter finished and paid for the program in Pilates total of $8,730), Yoga Sculpted (over $1100) and Reiki ($1500). Besides the monthly tuition of $650, she had to pay for 4 private sessions per month ($80 for each) which makes it additional $320 per month! Always on-time for her classes and besides completing the required hours for those classes, my daughter has over 210 hours of extra training. As soon as she graduated from the program, the manager at Huntington Beach who is in charge hiring and I may add has attitude issue, not only didn't acknowledge her present, she totally ignored my daughter and when another teacher introduced my daughter, she didn't even let her speak and rudely walked away!!!! They charge so much for the program with false promises. The teachers really liked my daughter and still keep in-touch with her. My daughter is discouraged and disappointed and feels like our money was wasted!!! If anyone is thinking about joining or taking classes, don't waste your time and money unless they put it in writing. They have many unhappy employees and notice lots of turnovers. I DO NOT recommend them. read more

What a delight and joy is to meet true people who care about your health and personal goals! Annie Huynh, my sales representative, met my highest standards of professionalism and passion for her members well being! She explained to me in detail all the perks and advantages of my membership and made me feel like family. Annie Huynh is definitely an asset of Equinox and its affiliates! Keep changing lives one at the time! read more

Equinox Newport has recently undergone a significant transformation regarding their spa! I love all things beauty, facials, and skin rejuvenation. The gym over all is a wonderful place that is safe & professional. Being a member here for the last 4 years I have yet to meet the spa staff I booked a facial with Sam at the spa and she not only sculpted my entire face but gave me insight on how I can keep up with this at home: We did a 50 minute facial sculpt massage with unique skin care being used during the session. She was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable I booked a microdermabrasion for later this month with her & would HIGHLY recommend coming to Sam before you head to grab some Botox or a facial elsewhere. Thank you Sam & Equinox for bringing such a professional skin expert on board! read more

I recently got a facial with Lilia at the spa and it was AMAZING!!! I've gotten numerous facials before and it was truly the best one I've ever received. She is informative, friendly, passionate and really goes out of her way to make sure you're comfortable. Thank you Lilia!!! :) read more

It has been years since I've been here and you still need a lock for the lockers. We pay too much for a membership for that.

Terrible parking validation system which never works, outdated gym layout/equipment, and locker rooms constantly seem to be under renovation. Not worth the price for value. read more

One of the trainers, Zach, made a joke about my sexuality which he tried to laugh off but it really offended me and I am now uncomfortable going to the Newport Beach location read more

Hannah is great with her service! She gave a great tour of the facility and should be considered for a promotion. Every Equinox should have a Hannah! read more

Equinox is one of the more expensive gyms however it doesn't seem that way. There's a nice selection of equipment and the classes are excellent. However the parking garage is hit or miss. The gate system fails endlessly, if you buzz security to let you out they give you attitude to no end. Equinox is aware but say it's not their problem it's the land lords responsibility. Funny how taking several hundred dollars a month in membership with parking makes them think it's not their problem. Maybe if they were forced to pay every member $100 every time they were imprisoned in the garage they'd change their attitude. And yes we know it's because the machines are old and iPhone and android phones erase the tickets. But seriously who has an android or iPhone these days. read more

Barely any weight clamps in sight. Out of three squat racks and four bench press stations. Only three pairs of clamps spotted. It's very dangerous. Also, probably one of the very few equinoxs that you'll need to bring your own lock and the front desk doesn't even have locks for rent. read more

Very clean gym and there was ample equipments to use. Personally can't stand when gyms blast obnoxiously loud music, but these guys had it right. The staff was very hospitable toward me - I had a wonderful work out. I believe the front desk was managed by Dani that day. Highly recommended! read more

Great staff!!! Best trainers plus the cleanest gym I've been to by far. You come in get a healthy sweat - take a nice clean shower everything is provided for you as far as towels, shampoo conditioner everything you'll need. You'll never have to pack extra things. Equinox Newport has it all for you Plus the friendly smiles from front desk is always nice to see as it helps me stay motivated to continue to come to the club. read more

Don't ever get trapped here. I made a mistake of not reading "the contract" which the person who explained it to me said, "I can cancel at anytime." (My fault) but he didn't specify "after my contract is done"which is kinda tricky. I keep emailing to pause and cancel and they want you to go through hoops. Doctors notes which is hard for me to get appointments and get a note. It's been 2 months of paying. I have a knee injury and cannot workout. I keep emailing. Just asked to put on hold and the person said I cannot do that anymore. My doctors appointment is tomorrow and I probably have to beg for him to give me a note from a face time appointment. Now not working out 3 months at 200$ is a bit unethical. I will NEVER go here or get a membership ever again. I will tell all my clients never to get trapped here. Place is run down and workers trapped me in this like a cheesy cell phone company. Email below is for me to put on hold my membership and she said I can't cancel. I never said to cancel. I asked to put on hold until my doctors appointment. read more

Beware: parking @ the parking lot means windows smashed in. We asked how often - they said every 3 months. They won't give help, refund or empathy. My 2900 dollar duffel was stolen from a completely black tinted window. Chatted with the managers- zero help or condolences. It is the only place to park for 200/person a month. Risk all your belongings. read more

My friends and I went to go try the gym out (there were 4 of us) 3 out of 4 of us had appointments to try the gym for the day and we told them ahead of time for the 4th because she wasn't from the US so no ID/email to make the appointment. Even with this, the membership rep said he didn't know you would have so much people were a really exclusive club I need to ask my manager if it's ok. So he goes and grabs his manager and I am absolutely shook she comes out and drops an F-bomb (I forgot in what context) and says the same thing "we're a really exclusive club we don't normally let people just work out for a day or whatever so we need to know who's actually interested in getting a membership" I continue to tell her we're all interested and she just kind of rolls her eyes and says come on we're gunna 'allow' you guys to all use the club today we just need to know who's legit. (Her exact words) After this I was still talking to the membership guy about membership and because I don't live in Newport Beach I was asking would I be able to upgrade to the SoCal pass if I start out with the one location pass. Immediately he got really defensive again saying you have to be a member to have those benefits... and at this point I'm just done. The whole experience was just horrific, I felt like we were being attacked from the moment we walked in. And honestly my mani pedi cost more than one month membership, my purse cost more than two years membership. We got a membership at another gym right after this experience. No amount of exclusivity is worth the bullying that we received from Equinox Newport Beach. read more

Equinox Newport Beach - My one day trial proof - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

Why I love this gym -they play music(yay!!) it's not just stale murmurs of cardio machines -clean facility and locker rooms -towel service and can we take a moment to talk about the eucalyptus towels!! So refreshing after a hard workout -earth bar( really good eats and even better juice shots. My personal favorite: Wellness Shot) -knowledgable trainers-have u ever trained with a trainer who aimlessly walks around with u as if they are guessing what's next? Not here-the Tier X trainers have specialized education and assessment equipment that really helps with achieving performance goals. -they have a spa and shop on site. I can pick up new gear, get a massage, manicure, and workout...all at the same location. read more

Great gym and great location. The staff there is also very attentive and friendly. The gym is also kept very clean.

Good clean place. People are friendly and it's not crowded. Weight machines are laid out perfectly right near the lockers. Music is terrible and loud so I didn't give it an excellent. (99.9% of the people wear earphones anyway to block out the music so they might as well turn down the volume. read more

If you like vaccine mandates, decreased cleanliness and rude employees this is your gym. This club used to be a fun, busy happening place to work out but they lost most of the talented staff and trainers. They literally stoped filing the hand sanitizer stations when delta variant stated and removed temporary stations. I literally don't know what they are thinking. I never put my membership on hold during closures and they credited me for it with a gift card to spend within the club only. Unfortunately this club was bought out and is in the process of its initial IPO. No investor will be THAT stupid read more

I was in the area with my 22 year old daughter on a very quiet Sunday afternoon and decided to go into the juice bar at Equinox to purchase 2 smoothies. While waiting for the smoothies I asked the front desk if there was a restroom I could use. The receptionist asked if I was a member. I said no but, was waiting for our smoothies. She said I couldn't use their bathroom and had to go across the street. You would have thought I had asked her to wash my car while she stood there doing nothing. She never smiled and did her best to show her disgust for my asking. What a warm and welcoming feeling. Equinox didn't mind taking my non-member $22 for 2 small smoothies!! read more

Small compared to other Equinox locations but it's put together well. Everything was clean and equipment worked great. I don't know what others mean about the equipment being old. What do you want? Two day old machines everywhere? Probably the people that wear clothes into the steam room. Oh, and bringing your own lock is not something to complain about. You make at least six figures to be a member here, go buy a lock. read more

I gave Lifetime Fitness a whirl, but the culture just didn't vibe with me. Equinox may not have the newest equipment, but it's the place where you can be yourself, be inspired, and sweat it out, and have a blast. It's not about the shiny toys; it's about the people and the positive vibes that keep me coming back for more. read more
