Equinox : Vancouver gym Opening Fall 2016
Are you ready for one of the most coveted gym to arrive?
There is a new gym in Vancouver that’s coming soon. If you’ve been to LA or NY then you might have come across Equinox. A full service, member only fitness club. Yes, full service. I am a huge fan of full services facilities — gives you a peace of mind and also you don’t need to fret about bringing your workout gear to work and lugging it to the gym and back! There is also a huge promotional discount at the moment — Offer ends July 31st.
Everything you need to know about EQUINOX, Vancouver
Facilities at EQUINOX
I’ve been looking a few local gyms within Downtown Vancouver and closer to home (tri-cities area) but nothing really comes close to what EQUINOX offers under one roof. It’s got a designated barre studio (which I am all over), yoga studio, boxing studio, spinning studio, multipurpose room for HITT classes, Pilates studio, and a full weights and cardio gym. It’s been hard to find a gym that literally has every activity that I’ve wanted to participate in, all in one. What’s great is you can mix up your fitness routine and try different things so you’re never stuck with one type of workout or having to sign up for several gym memberships.
Forgetting things?
If you know me (personally), I swoon over things that are full service. This gym is definitely full service. It’s got 12 showers, Kiehl’s products for grooming, towel service, steam rooms, saunas, and yoga mats (sanitized and ready).
You literally can walk straight from work and to the gym and back.
Because, in reality, we already have our laptops, lunch, makeup bags and our life in our bag.
Membership includes:
- Access to EQUINOX (this is a no drop in facility — members only)
- Wifi
- Lounge Access with lockers, showers, mats
- Group classes (barre, yoga, spinning, running, pilates, boxing, HITT)
- 1 Free personal training class
- 1 Free personal Pilates class
- 2 Guest Passes
- 25% off Spa facility (first time) followed by 10% off for subsequent visits
Promotional Offer Expires July 31st:
I am definitely not sponsored, though I would love to be! This is something that I just purely want to share with everyone out there in Vancouver and to take advantage of it if you are looking for a new gym.
Monthly Rate: $140 / month + tax (Regular $170/month) — Prices may vary depending on when you visit their showroom
Gym Initiation Fee: waived (Regular $300)
Why should you join?
Yes it’s not the more econ-friendly membership when you are comparing with Steve Nash Fitness or Goodlife. However, you do get what you pay for and the price is only slightly above specialized facilities like spin studios, barre studios or yoga studios. If you are into full service facilities like myself then you will definitely love this but I am all for it!
Location:
1111 West Georgia Street,
Vancouver, BC
Right next to the new and upcoming TRUMP Tower — the gym is currently in development.
Recommended for those working within 10–15 minutes walking distance to the gym.
The current showroom / presentation center is right across from Cactus Club on Robson Street where the old “Below The Belt” used to be if you are familiar with the area.
Scheduled Opening:
Fall of 2016 — Targeted for November 2016 at this time

While I am not sponsored, it’s nice to get a referral! By mentioning that you saw this on my blog — mention Grace Hui (pronounced like huey) to Alyssa who works there and I get a referral point! If you get your friends to sign up you too also get a referral :) It’s a great system and a win win all around.
