The price of an Equinox gym membership varies by location and the number of clubs you want to access. Membership is priced in tiers, with options for access to one Equinox club, multiple locations or all 113 clubs.
How much does an Equinox gym membership cost?
While the price of an Equinox membership varies by geographic region, we looked at 10 clubs across the U.S. and found that you can generally expect to pay anywhere from $205 to $395 per month.
Prices in the $200s grant access to one gym location.
In the low $300s-per-month tier, you'll have access to additional clubs, like all the clubs in a certain city or region.
The highest-priced tier, typically in the upper $300s per month, includes access to clubs across the U.S. and some worldwide club access, depending on location.
It’s important to note that each monthly membership price assumes a 12-month commitment. All perks are the same; the only difference is the number of locations a member can access.

What is included in an Equinox membership?
The following perks are available for all membership tiers.
Unlimited classes
Access to classes at Equinox clubs is included in all membership types. However, reserving a spot in advance through the club’s app is recommended. If you forget to book online but still want to attend a class, clubs accept walk-ins, but only if there is enough space.
Day and guest passes
Two guest passes are included annually with Equinox memberships. If you're out of guest passes, but still want to bring someone, you can purchase a day pass. You can also purchase day passes to visit other locations not included in your membership.
Referral program
For every friend you refer who joins Equinox, you get a gift card that can be used in the club’s store and spa, or for personal training.
Discounts
Members can save money on purchases from the club’s store, with a 15% discount for a first-time purchase and 15% off during your birthday month. The spa also gives members a 25% discount on an initial spa treatment.
Free training
When joining Equinox, you get a free fitness assessment, personal training session and a studio Pilates session.
On-demand workouts
All members can enjoy on-demand workouts with Equinox’s app, which comes with more than 1,000 hours of classes, goal- setting features and articles on fitness and nutrition.
How to cancel an Equinox membership
Equinox memberships can be canceled by contacting your local club manager in person, by mail or through email.
If you anticipate not using the club for a while, you have the option to freeze (temporarily suspend) your membership. This may be useful if you’re planning an extended vacation. You can freeze your membership for up to three months. Non-medical freezes will trigger an additional fee.
How an Equinox membership fits into your budget
A gym membership to a club like Equinox generally falls into the wants category of your budget. That means you don’t need it to survive, but it’s nice to have.
If you find that you have too many expenses in your wants category, you can check other subscriptions to see if there are opportunities to make adjustments, like dropping down to a lower-cost tier in a streaming service or switching a cell phone bill to autopay if there is a discount to do so.
This could help you save money so you can fit a gym membership into your budget.
