Gym Classes

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.

Amenities

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.

Location

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.

Jumping Jacks

The whole point of jumping jacks is the movement of the legs. When you’re in the pool you should still do the jumping, but avoid touching the bottom with your feet. This is not an easy exercise and will help you burn a lot of calories.

Plank

Straighten your core even more with a pool plank. For this exercise, you will need a water log. Hold it with both of your hands, press it and lift your body up floating on the water. Stay in that position for at least one minute. You will see how hard it is to stay in that pose for a longer time.

Frog Jump

Place your feet in a plie pose, with the heels touching. You will need to start jumping like a frog up. Go as high as you can, then get back to the initial pose with the heels touching.

Enhances Balance

Pool may seem like an easy sport, but some of the more complex shots require a lot of balance and flexibility. Stability is a must, and the lack of it might cost you the whole game. Playing pool on regular basis will help you develop better balance.

Better Focus

Pool helps both your body and mind. In addition to giving you an opportunity to have a good stretch and burn calories, it will affect your ability to focus in a positive way and help sharpen your mind.

Physical Confidence

Physical benefits of pool aren’t as obvious, but they’re still there. This fun sport can help you tone your muscles, and inspire better physical confidence by teaching you to carry yourself more gracefully.

Slows Aging

Pool isn’t as physically demanding as some of the other sports activates out there, so it’s easier to get into it – especially once you get older. Studies have shown it can have anti-aging effect by providing the elderly with a way to utilizes their muscles while still doing something casual.
