]]>If you love gym classes, and plan on going to the many world class trainer led classes taught at Equinox, then the membership may just be right for you. Compared to other gyms such as Crunch, NYSC, and Blink, the quality, space, equipment, amount of classes led per day, makes equinox worth the price. If you were to crunch the numbers and pick one gym, such as Soul Cycle or Rumble, and pay $40 a class, the membership may just end up paying for itself. However if you plan on just going for the bare bones gym equipment, you can probably find equally decent gyms for a fraction of the price.
Equinox is famous for its world class spa amenities including refrigerated Eucalyptus towels, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms, that make the gym feel like a spa every day. The showers also have excellent skin care products, and soap, that make showering there, quite possibly more luxuriating than your apartment’s shower. For this reason, if you were to use the spa amenities three times a week, the price is equal to a spa day at a fancy spa. To us, that sounds like a bargain.
Equinox is also an attractive option to city dwellers, because of all their convenient locations, that make going to the gym after work or early in the morning. If you have the membership that grants you access to multiple locations, some locations have a rock wall, basketball court, and a pool, making it sports lovers paradise.

]]>Soul Cycle is a great choice if you’re looking to do spin in a fun, supportive, and non-competitive environment. They often have fun-themed rides, which is great for fans of pop sensations like Taylor Swift. The trainers are really high energy and motivational. It is not the most budget-friendly option, however; so if you’re looking for a less expensive option, Cyclebar is also great.
Barry’s is excellent if you’re looking to torch calories and be challenged. It’s a tough workout combining speed intervals on the treadmill followed by weight sessions. This is also on the costlier side, so if you’re looking for a more affordable option, Orange Theory is an option.
Rumble is excellent for core and cardio movements in a high-energy workout environment. The class combines boxing sessions with weight training for the ultimate HIIT and sweat session.
This boutique gym has a few studios across NYC and offers speed and interval treadmill training and is taught by expert running coaches. This is an excellent option for those training for a race, or just looking to add some cardio to their routines.

]]>A lot of the time, group fitness instructors will ask at the beginning of class if anybody is new. That way, they’ll know to give you special attention and help if you need it. But if you don’t want to raise your hand and admit to being new in front of everybody, you can always come a little early and have a chat with your instructor before the class. Tell them you’re new and if you have any injuries. They’ll be sure to accommodate you accordingly.
If the idea of everybody watching you work out makes you uncomfortable, it’s totally okay to start out your group fitness journey by standing in the back corner of the room where nobody can see you. Over time, as you build confidence, you can start making your way toward the front of the room.
The learning curve for group fitness classes is very friendly, and it will probably only take three to four classes before you feel like a pro who has been doing it forever. So keep pushing and you’ll quickly get into the groove of things.
