I had tried another, much larger gym near Scarsdale, but found that breadth isn’t as good as depth when it comes to training facilities. With Equinox in Scarsdale, you will find everything you need for an excellent workout in a compact, easy to navigate space. It’s very rarely crowded, and I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait for a machine, bench or treadmill. The staff are worth mentioning, too. They are all friendly and professional, and have an amazing ability to remember every client’s name — it’s that sort of place. Best of all, though, are the trainers. I’ve been working with Ricky Shaffer, who is insightful and patient, but also thorough, with high expectations. I came to him looking to improve my range of motion and endurance — functional, rather than aesthetic, fitness — and he has developed a challenging, creative, fun and productive plan to do just that.

It is clean and well maintained. The Armonk site is really nice. The manager Jeff is very helpful and bends backwards to keep customers satisfied.

As a 20 plus year member of Equinox in NYC I was excited to try Scarsdale after moving. The gym is pretty and clean with good classes. In general I love these gyms. Just not this location. However the WEIGHTFLOORISINADEQUATE. PERIOD. management claims there is a circuit but if so I’m confused. Almost no abdominal equipment, chest equipment or back equipment. While legs and lower body are covered upper body does not have enough equipment in general. Almost every machine requires a 3 – 5 minute wait to get on. Also machines don’t have stacks. You are required to move plates on these machines. Time consuming and difficult if the corporate lug before you left four 45 lb. plates for you to move before adding what you need. I suppose you could consider tis heavy clean ip a workout bonus. At these high prices it should not happen. 2 stars because the chain and class instruction is good. but this location sucks. It is obvious this gym caters to those who work with trainers, not clients who pay monthly fees. And very high fees at that. PS There is not adequate parking at this location.

One of the worst Equinox’s I’ve been to. Small gym with limited classes. Dissapointed with teachers especially the spin instructers. Not worth the price.

I love this location. The parking is limited, and sometimes you have to resort to getting meter parking, but wowwww this place is awesome. Equinox is a high end gym at a high end price. Yes it’s expensive, but they provide some great services, and sometimes the price you pay is what you’ll get. The reasons i hate cheaper gyms(NYHRC, NYSC, Planet FItness, etc…) is how crowded the gyms are. At Equinox, even its busiest times aren’t even that busy. I never have to wait long for a machine, if i wait at all. I hear the crowded times is in the early morning, but i never go to the gym then anyway. This location is pretty empty in the PM which is great. THe facility seems very clean. The clientele here seems to be mainly soccer moms with an occasional middle aged man here and there. There is a personal trainer(in light blue) always on the floor willing to assist you. THey have something amazing for members… the cold Eucalyptus towels. They are very refreshing after you work up a sweat. They have all sorts of machines and equipment so you’ll never have a boring workout routine. There is so much to do here; it’s great. They even have a juice bar, which i have yet to try. They have a spa too, but again i have yet to try that too. The bathrooms in comparison, i’d say are on par with NYHRC but Equinox uses higher end products(Kiehls) I dont know much about that, but from my female friends, they say its a great product line. Great location; yes its smaller than the ones in the city, but it’s less crowded too so it balances out. The staff are friendly, and they totally cater to their clientele. I had a 1 week trial here thanks to a friend, and i was instantly wow’d. Now, i’m a member. Luckily they were running some promotions during the time i signed up; otherwise i probably wouldn’t have joined the gym since yes it is expensive compared to your typical workout facility. It’s good motivation for me to come here and get the best value out of my hard earned money.

An ode to this land of neglected bratty MILFs who populate the place from 7am to 10am, Mon thru Sat. I love the staff! I hate the square footage! I love the atmosphere!!! I hate that they run out of towels! I love the valet parking! I hate having to circumvent the faulty steam room in the men’s locker room.

I have been moving around a lot the past 5 years and Equinox is by far the best gym I’ve been to. As a new member it is intimidating to see all the other super fit people, but then it becomes a great motivator. The staff here is great, especially at the spa, which does not get enough credit! I had a massage and my therapist, Liz, was AMAZING. I was super sore from my first week of working out in a while and she knew exactly where to massage me. Also, if you get a spa service you get to work out there for free that day! Parking can be annoying during peak hours but the gym itself is still not as crowded as other gyms I’ve been to during the same times.

So much better than New York Sports Club in my opinion. The gym isnt huge but has more than enough cardio machines and very clean locker rooms. The café is very good and makes delicious smoothies. The classes are mostly very good, though the women get a little possesive of the spot they like to stand in each week. I dont think their spin classes are as good as they could be, but i guess this isnt that popular here. One complaint for group classes is that they set no capacity/limit on class size and some classes get dangerously full. Overall i find this gym to be a relaxing environment with basically every feature i could want.
