    Hi Claudia, we would be happy to put you in touch with a membership advisor who can tell you more about our club amenities as well as go over the the kids club hours. If you’d like us to reach out on your behalf, please email concierge@equinox.com,… 

    Does this location have child care?

    This location does have a kids club, however it is currently closed at this time.

    What's the rooftop pool length? 20 yards? 25?

    The rooftop pool is 23 meters long.

    Where do you park?

    Hi Nancy, parking is off E. San Mateo Drive at the Intersection of E. San Mateo and 5th Ave. Parking is validated for 2 hours.

    Do they have hex plates or round plates in the deadlifting area?

    Both.

    Is their pool a salt water pool?

    Yes, they do! It's on the rooftop so an added bonus!

    Do you have a salt water pool?

    Last time I checked, no it is not salt water, although I would love it if it were.

    What temperature is the pool and do they have aqua aerobics/fitness classes?

    Perfect and warm!

    How many squat racks / power racks does Equinox SM have? And is there a deadlift platform?

    Just at the top of my head, there are probably around 2 or 3 (at most) squat racks, but are usually taken. There is one deadlift platform.

The staff are…read moreconsistently friendly and welcoming, the crowd is respectful, and the location and hours are very convenient. However, I can't give more than two stars unless management seriously improves equipment maintenance. Several machines have had "Out of Service" stickers on them for at least six months, with no visible progress on repairs. In some cases there are only one or two of those machines in the entire gym, so when one is broken for months, it becomes very inconvenient for members who rely on that equipment. On top of that, some of the existing equipment is clearly aging (frayed cables, worn components, etc.). What makes this more frustrating is that the gym offers a premium membership tier that includes access to the hydro/water massage bed, but that has also been out of service for a long time. Even more concerning, the water fountain and bathroom have both been out of service multiple times. That's a basic facility issue. Members need access to drinking water and restrooms during workouts. Meanwhile, the gym sells bottled water at the counter, which feels especially frustrating when the fountain isn't working. On a few occasions they even had to bring in a porta-potty outside the gym, which says a lot about the state of the building facility. Again, I genuinely want to rate this gym higher because the staff and community are great. If management commits to properly repairing and maintaining the equipment and facilities, I would absolutely be happy to update this review and increase the rating.

Working with Wayne at Morph Fitness is the single best decision I've made for my health. His holistic, customized approach fits a busy life -- as a working mom and surgeon I didn't think I had time to eat well or exercise, but Wayne helped me prioritize my health. I now have far more energy and feel stronger, which makes me a better mom and surgeon. Wayne's knowledge and passion exceed expectations. He understands the mechanics of every muscle and designs intentional programs tailored to your goals. He immediately identified my poor posture from years in the OR and systematically strengthened the right muscles while using targeted stretching and bodywork to relieve chronic tension. A former physical therapist, he blends corrective work with performance training. Wayne is tough but fair -- he corrects form until it's flawless and gives simple, actionable changes that become lasting habits. His nutrition guidance isn't a fad: it kept me full and energized, addressed chronic dehydration (I now drink at least half my body weight in ounces of water), and eliminated the need for sugary snacks. I increased my daily steps and added targeted supplements. In four months I've lost 10 lbs, dropped under 20% body fat, gained significant muscle, and am down a clothing size. Most importantly, my chronic back pain has resolved, my posture is much improved, and I feel the healthiest and happiest I've ever been.

    While I was using an exercise machine, a front desk employee interrupted my workout and asked me to…read morecome to the front desk. There, in view of other members, I was told that I had not paid my membership fee. I explained that my credit card had already been charged and that I could show the confirmation email. I also asked to speak with the manager because my class was scheduled to begin in six minutes and I could not return to the front desk afterward. Despite explaining that payment had already been made, the discussion continued to focus on the claim that my account had not been paid. At that point, the matter should have been handled by verifying the payment rather than continuing the conversation in front of other members. This is not an appropriate way to handle a billing question, particularly when the customer has already paid. Billing issues should be resolved privately and after the facts have been verified.In the end, it was because there was fraud on my credit card, so the credit card issued a new number to my account. And guess what, even though it was not my fault, the company still charged me $16 for each transaction, They refused to give me the reimbursement.  To Management: I strongly encourage you to reconsider how billing issues are handled and how long-time customers are treated. Publicly confronting a customer about a payment issue before verifying the facts, followed by refusing to reimburse fees caused by fraudulent activity on a credit card, is neither professional nor acceptable. I hope management will take this complaint seriously, review what happened, and reconsider the charges that were imposed on my account.

We left Crunch after 17 years (well, technically it was Gold's before but you get the point) because I had a female stalker and Crunch wouldn't help me (even with restraining orders). I was wildly unimpressed with their non-assistance. We went to Equinox bc it was supposed to be nicer and it was only a 1 mile walk from our house - fantastic. While it looked nicer, it was not nicer. It's old, outdated and limited. It's stupid expensive. And the hours really, really suck. So after a year, we left Equinox and we were wavering on going back to the Bay Club or joining the Y. Our kids really wanted to work out and the Y was a great option for a family plan. So we joined for them. While testing it out and thinking we might bounce out to the Bay Club, we ended up loving it. They recently upgraded all the equipment to smart equipment and I'm diggin it! I haven't seen these machines since I was at an upscale gym in Houston a couple years ago! I love the price ($185 for all 6 of us, plus it as daycare vs $230/mo at equinox per person and no kids are welcome) I love the normalness of the Y too. I may make great income, but I don't want to be with the stiffs. I want to be where my roots are.

Later, I found out it hadn't actually been processed correctly. That was extremely frustrating, especially since I had confirmed it upfront to avoid exactly this kind of issue. When I contacted the San Mateo team to resolve it, I felt brushed off rather than helped. There was little accountability and no real effort to correct the mistake. It felt like once they had my membership, customer service was no longer a priority. Second, I found the team to be relatively inexperienced. Some staff didn't seem fully confident in their techniques or in tailoring stretches to individual needs, which didn't inspire much trust. Between the billing confusion, mishandled TrueMed/FSA payment, dismissive customer service, and overall lack of professionalism, I can't recommend this location. I'd strongly encourage anyone considering signing up to fully understand the billing terms and payment process beforehand. I plan on using my remaining credits that I cannot get a refund for at the Burlingame location.
