우리 대부분은 Equinox에 대한 기본 사항을 알고 있습니다. 미국 전역에 100개 이상의 지점을 두고 있는 체육관 체인은 스팀룸, 스파, Grown Alchemist의 친환경 제품, 유칼피투스 함유 수건 등 고급 편의 시설로 유명합니다. 그리고 그렇습니다. Equinox 멤버십은 비싸다 — 위치와 액세스 수준에 따라 $215에서 $405 사이의 비용이 들 수 있습니다. 하지만 많은 사람들에게 그룹 피트니스 서비스는 그만한 가치가 있습니다.
When it comes to workouts, I'm a big class person. I enjoy structure, and I like having a pro lead me through new workouts and challenges. I've tried all the popular workouts in New York City, from boutique fitness classes to franchise studios ranging from Pilates, HIIT, yoga, barre, and boxing. In the past few years, I've sampled all types of workouts on Classpass , and switched between memberships at F45 훈련 , 305 피트니스 및 소박한 체육관.
하지만 나에게는 다양한 운동 계획을 유지하는 것이 중요합니다. 둘 다 좋아합니다. 고강도 and low-impact classes — so the variety of classes was what excited me most about joining Equinox. (The clubs offer 12 class categories.) When I recently became a member, I set out to discover the best group fitness classes at Equinox. I know how intimidating it can be to try out a new class, so I broke down my favorites across some of the most popular class categories, including cardio, strength, Pilates, yoga, and regeneration. Here are the best classes at Equinox and what to expect from the gym's group fitness classes.
최고의 Equinox 그룹 피트니스 수업
Equinox 최고의 심장강화 수업: Precision Run
Precision Run is a treadmill workout that's broken down into different intervals at varying speeds, inclines, and durations. You set up a starting speed on your treadmill based on your 1-minute PR (your fastest speed for one minute), so it's good to have an idea of what that is before your first class. I don't have much experience running, so I didn't know what mine was, but based on my running history, my instructor helped me choose a beginner-level PR and encouraged me to adjust throughout the class as needed. From there, they'll coach you through each interval and adjustment. Now, I'm not a runner — my preferred treadmill exercise is 12-3-30 — 그래서 Precision Run이 제가 가장 좋아하는 것 중 하나가 되었다는 사실에 놀랐습니다. 저는 가이드가 안내하는 런닝머신 운동 아이디어를 정말 좋아했습니다. 평소에는 하지 않던 런닝머신을 혼자서 달리는 것보다 시간이 훨씬 빨리 지나가고 더 재미있었다.
Since I discovered Precision Running classes, I've also incorporated the on-demand classes into my workouts. The treadmills at Equinox are connected with the Precision Run dashboard, so you can take virtual, pre-recorded classes whenever, when you can't make a specific class time. There's also 정밀 달리기 코칭 는 2024년 12월에 막 출시된 프로그램으로, 회원들이 구체적인 달리기 목표를 염두에 두고 있으면 코치와 함께 1-1로 훈련할 수 있습니다.
Equinox 최고의 근력 클래스: 리듬 조각
I've never tried anything like Rhythmic Sculpt. The newer class at Equinox combines traditional strength training and aerobic cardio, moving to the beat of the music. The unique format makes the class fun, easy to follow, and predictable: Each class is broken up into three blocks that consist of sets with two movements and a combination of the moves. You'll typically use five to 15-pound weights throughout class, moving through low-impact, toning exercises like deadlifts, squat variations, and dumbbell curls. But there's also an intensity that comes from high repetitions and compound movements, so you'll definitely be sweating. If you're looking for a moderate-intensity workout with both cardio and strength training — with a little bit of choreography and coordination — I'd recommend giving Rhythmic Sculpt a try.
Equinox 최고의 요가 수업: 조각 요가
나는 조각 요가가 내가 시도했던 인기 있는 요가 조각 수업과 비슷할 것이라고 기대했습니다. 코어파워 요가 , Y7 Studio, and Fuze House , but I was pleasantly surprised by the differences. Equinox's Sculpted Yoga includes a full power vinyasa flow that incorporates sculpting, toning exercises with light dumbbells and ankle weights. In terms of format, the class alternates between blocks of yoga and sculpt. It feels more like sculpting added onto yoga, whereas yoga sculpt at these other studios often prioritize cardio and strength training. It's certainly a challenging yoga class where you'll work up a sweat, but there won't be any cardio bursts or anything high intensity.
Equinox 최고의 필라테스 수업: Pilates Rise
Equinox provides a few different Pilates classes, but my favorite is Pilates Rise, which is a contemporary take on classic Pilates. It feels like a more athletic version of a regular Pilates class, with light cardio and sculpting built onto Pilates movements — though it's still a low-impact workout. The class typically targets muscle groups from head to toe, including glutes, obliques, arms, and of course, the core. Expect your core to be fired up for most of the class. Pilates Rise is also available heated at certain clubs, which I really enjoy.
필라테스를 처음 접하신다면, 전통적인 조셉 필라테스 방식에 뿌리를 두고 있는 느린 속도의 필라테스 매트부터 시작하겠습니다. 또는 Pilates Fusion은 요가, 바레, 조각 동작을 통합한 보다 혁신적인 필라테스 운동을 위한 재미있는 옵션입니다.
Equinox 최고의 회복 수업: 역대 최고의 스트레칭
I think the recovery classes at Equinox in general are super underrated — classes like Athletic Stretch, Best Stretch Ever, and Sonic Meditation, though offered less frequently, are great options for rest days. Best Stretch Ever uniquely utilizes a stick mobility, which is a training stick meant for deep stretching. I'd never used one prior to taking this class, but I found it to be a game-changer in terms of providing stability, increasing range of motion, and activating muscles. It's rare that I carve out dedicated time to stretch outside of a quick, end-of-class cool down, so having that 30 minutes or an hour is a treat and truly makes a difference in my recovery.
Equinox의 그룹 피트니스 수업에 대해 알아야 할 사항
- Classes can be reserved on the EQX+ app 26 hours in advance, but you can add classes you're interested in to your calendar and the app will send you a notification once booking opens. I've found that popular classes like Pilates and barre book up almost immediately, so I highly recommend keeping your notifications on. If a class is full, you can add yourself to the waitlist or standby and snag a spot if someone doesn't show up.
- Equinox provides any equipment you need for a class, so you don't need to bring anything unless your prefer your own props. As an added luxury, Equinox staff do clean mats and props after classes, but of course, clean up after yourself if you leave a mess behind.
- Classes can be instructor dependent, so I recommend experimenting with classes taught by various instructors to find your preferred coaches. No one class is like the other with a different instructor, but classes will follow similar formats or target the same objectives.
- Arrive five to 10 minutes early to any new class you're taking. You'll want to chat with the instructor about any questions or modifications, find a spot with a good view of the instructor, and have ample time to set up any equipment you need.
- Despite Equinox's reputation as an 'exclusive' gym, the group fitness classes do feel very welcoming. Don't be scared to try a new class!
