    Stephanie is an excellent teacher, very patient, always willing to show modifications. After a practice, I feel energized and strong.

    I love Equinox...Equinox Bethesda, that is! I was a member for a year, loved it but decided to let my contract end in December. It was really more $$ than I was wanting to continue paying. After a few months of no Equinox, looking around at other gyms, I came to the realization that Equinox is like flying first class....you completely ruin your life because you can't go back to coach without realizing how sucky it is there. So, I'm back at Equinox....Equinox Bethesda, that is. I've taken yoga from a couple of instructors....so far not a fit in that department, but the room and the equipment are very nice, clean, and calming. I am going to try each instructor out before giving up on it though. If I find no fit, I will do my own yoga in that calming room when no class is in session. Today I took my first cycle class. I've only done Soul Cycle and Zengo cycle in the past and love Zengo, so a normal spin class....I didn't know what to expect or really care that there is a little computer telling me my speed or distance, but the instructor had a good playlist, was very engaging, and honestly, it's dark in there, so I can do whatever I want, if I want to do Zengo moves while everyone else sits and peddles, I can...and I did. Next time I will reserve a bike in the very back as to not be a distraction. Sorry people :) The front desk people, although not knowledgeable about much, are quick on the check in and friendly, the place has the best air quality. If you're looking for a great gym....you will pay for it, but it's worth it. Oh, parking...there is a lot of parking, street parking, garage parking directly across the street as well.

    I had a wonderful experience with Brenna here. She was incredibly accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process, from showing me around the gym, giving both me and a friend a free trial to the club, and after joining, in adjusting to Equinox culture. I've loved all of the classes I've taken so far, particularly Boxing! The facilities are A+ and everyone who works there wants to make sure you're getting the optimal experience.

    I got an incredible massage with Kristy.

    The pressure was perfect--deep without ever being painful.

    I felt so relaxed afterwards.

    She gave me the perfect mix of relaxation massage along with just the right amount of medical/technical strokes to get my stuck/tight areas opened up. Afterwards my posture was more balanced.

    Worth every penny. Go to Kristy and you'll get what you paid for. She has a ton of experience and a healing, intuitive touch.

    Also--The spa was clean and nice and the bathrooms were great for a steam/shower.

    Been a member since it opened. Its very clean; equipment is new and replaced frequently, rarely out of service. Front desk staff is excellent. Trainers really nice and effective. Only complaint are the chatty ppl who can be a bit annoying (even though there is a no cell rule -- sometimes a few chicks come in and act like its a coffee clatch, lol). Locker rooms are really nice, clean, Kiehl's products. Pool excellent. Really doesn't get much better than this in a gym.
