I took a Foundations class with CeCe. It turned out I was the only one that night, which was a…read moregreat first time trying it. Seems like classes are typically small anyway which is nice for personal attention. It was my first ever barre class and she was great to make sure I was getting the movements right and showing me possible modifications. She was so nice and with a warm attitude and it was a pleasant experience and I definitely felt like I got a good workout. Otherwise the studio was very clean, with ample parking when I went.

I have FINALLY found a work out that makes an hour fly (except during tricep pushups, those I would…read morepass on any day!) Anyway, I have zero coordination skills and I'm also not the most flexible person in the world, but I certainly workout. I was once often found at HIT, Boxing, and many other classes on a near daily basis at The Edge...That being said, that gym is in Norwalk and I live in Stamford now, so it isn't the most convenient anymore, so I wanted to try something different. My friend, a Barre addict and success story, recommended I come check out a class with her... Obviously, I was thinking, how hard could this actually be? I'm just hanging on a barre for an hour and doing some weight curls. Honestly, the workout is like nothing I have ever done before, and has me using muscles I didn't even realize were there. The shaking is the real deal, and I love it. I also love only wearing socks when I workout :) Thus far I have taken classes with Stephanie and Emily, who are both excellent. I am just finishing up my month of unlimited classes, and will absolutely be purchasing more.

I've never talked to the manager since he NEVER walks the club and avoids members interaction at all costs. But when I show up to find out the club is closed the rest of today and tomorrow for a special event without any kind of in club, online, or proactive text / email communication, I'm just done with these people who could care less about their members' wellness. Homophobic, cruel, and incompetent.

Equinox Darien is NOT safe--and management will NOT protect you…read more After being verbally assaulted, subjected to misogynistic slurs, and physically confronted by a male member on the gym floor, I reported the incident immediately. Multiple witnesses came forward. I was assured it would be handled. It wasn't. The individual was allowed back into the club and continued spreading false, degrading, and misogynistic comments about me to other members and staff. Despite months of detailed reports to senior leadership and HR, Equinox took no meaningful action. Instead, I was met with delays, deflection, and ultimately told they "cannot engage" unless other members contact them directly. Translation: the victim does the work, the harasser faces no consequences. Even more disturbing, staff appeared to tolerate--or participate in--gossip, reinforcing a hostile and misogynistic environment. For a company that markets itself as inclusive and empowering, Equinox chose corporate protection over member safety. If you are a woman and expect to be taken seriously when reporting harassment, this is not the place.

I keep seeing advertisement for Bodywise By Betty. I signed…read moremy two boys up for a camp and they both said it was the worse camp they have ever done. Arriving the woman running the place (i assume Betty) ignored us for at least 10 minutes. She was busy writing, with the other kids and ordering a teenager on how to do things. Kids that were already there for camp were exercising on machines built for adults like the elliptical. In my opinion completely not safe for anyone younger than 10. So for the Day... my kids said they were on the machines for most of the morning. Then they took a walk to a local restaurant eat lunch. Came back and they played games then watched a movie until I picked them up. Oh then they exercised again. My kids said that the teenager there ran the camp mostly. The adult (I'm assuming Betty) was behind the desk the entire time. I've written a review on here before and it always gets deleted. I say save your money. Spend a little more on a camp that you know you're kids will benefit from. Also... I was a subway one time during lunch and my friends and I had a couple tables they were saving. Betty and a group of like 12 kids stormed in and she was yelling that she had a reservation telling us to move. The employees told her that she didn't and were shocked at her behavior. She realized that we were not budging because we started eating our food and stormed out with her group of campers. This place should be shut down.

I going to a gym here and even lifting weights 4 times a week, but I don't have the same definition or the line down my belly I had with her class. I can only imagine if I had gone twice a week! The hour would fly by and Betty changed it up so we weren't getting bored with the same routine. If you are looking to tone up - I suggest going to her classes. She also provided some nutritional information - which reminds me to up my protein. I miss Betty's class and my tone tummy and thighs I had!
