Equinox has long been one of the world’s most recognized fitness brands. With high-end locations in USA, Canada and London, UK, the brand has become synonymous with luxury gym experiences.

With the worlds of fitness and hospitality becoming more familiar with each other, it makes sense that Equinox might try their hand at something like a five-star hotel.

And that is exactly what they’ve done, with their Equinox Hotels flagship in Hudson Yards, New York.

The hotel more than lives up to its tagline - For Those That Want It All - with a full scale gym, sleep and recovery options and Equinox-standard class options.

It’s a gym and travel lover’s dream and is primely located in the centre of Manhattan. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a high performer, an athlete, or just a ‘regular’ guest who wants the best of fitness and wellness with their hotel - Equinox Hotels is for you.

The aesthetic is modern and futuristic throughout. The rooms are every bit as five-star as the fitness. Every corner is considered, and every detail serves a purpose

Here’s what makes the Equinox Hotel gym stand out:

Spanning a huge 60,000 square feet across multiple floors and open 24/7 to guests, the club features a gym floor with the very best strength and cardio equipment, along with areas for mobility work and functional training.

They have a calming pool and recovery zone with an indoor saltwater lap pool, outdoor leisure pool, and hot and cold plunges.

Equinox are known for great classes, so we’re happy to hear there’s a nice range of sessions for guests, such as yoga, cycling, and circuits. In fact, the hotel offers their full schedule signature program of group training.

The last few years have seen a shift towards recovery, with gym goers - and increasingly hotel guests - demanding options to wind down and work through a rest day. If recovery is an important part of your routine, Equinox Hotels has you covered with cryotherapy, plunge pools and infrared saunas.

During the colder months, Après Equinox offers a Nordic-inspired recovery experience, featuring outdoor barrel saunas and a heated outdoor pool, with incredible views of Hudson Yards and New York’s skyline. It makes for quite a spectacle.

Equinox Hotel in Hudson Yards is more than just a workout space. It is a destination for people who prioritise performance alongside their travel, business, or holiday. With a strong focus on design, recovery, and precision, Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards is undoubtedly one to watch for fitness-led hospitality.

Next up, Equinox Hotels are expanding their footprint with an exciting new spot in Saudi Arabia, currently under construction. A little more close to home, Equinox have announced that Nashville will also see its first property.

Will this spark an even bigger shift towards a marrying of hospitality and fitness? At The Fit Guide, we certainly think so. And we’re here for it!
