Is Equinox open 24 hours a day?

Nope. Equinox doesn't offer a 24/7 workout option at any of their 91 locations in the country.

Absolutely. And especially in New York. With no other gyms in NYC offering all-night-workouts, Equinox could be the first—making a huge statement to the Manhattan population of 1.8 million. This is the city that never sleeps right? Ok, now we've convinced ourselves that this needs to happen. Equinox: you owe us a free membership if this comes true!

Sorry, we're not quite sure if they will. Sometimes we'll have inside info or a tip about future plans. None here with Equinox though.

We do look at Equinox's total vision, their current offerings, plus what their competitors are doing. We put all of that together to see what may possibly be on the horizon.... and 24/7 hours isn't quite one of them. 

Their focus for members is on experiences, classes and training. While this specific amenity could work at Equinox, it just doesn't look like a priority. 

Managing a gym that is open all night long comes with a ton challenges. A combo of these things will help guide the gym chain to determine if the location should be open or not. Some issues that we've seen:

• Is the city/county "OK" with the hours? Smaller locales have stricter rules.
• What safety requirements are needed to maintain a gym in case something goes wrong? Certain equipment (usually plate-loaded Olympic lifting platforms) may need staff on hand at all times.
• Is there enough demand from the members to attend in the middle of the night?
• Does the gym have enough staffing/resources to support all-night-hours?

Any one of these things may have changed, or had Equinox say it isn't worth it. 

Not one. You heard us: not a single gym in New York City is open 24/7. It's a stunning stat, and our thoughts went racing once we uncovered it.

• Is there not enough demand for a late night workout?
• Is this an untapped market for Equinox to get into?
• Is our data wrong? 😟

Our thoughts: New York City is all-night-do-everything-eat-drink-party city. With 1.6 million people living in Manhattan, and thousands more visiting daily, we're betting on all-night-hours at a gym being a hit.

Equinox is already a trend-setting pioneer in the industry: bringing 24/7 hours to the city could bring a huge wave of new members, plus bring much positive PR to the barrier-breaking brand. We wanna see this happen!

While the exact times will differ for every location, the most common opening hours we've seen from Equinox are: 

• Monday: 5:00 AM – 10:00 PM
• Tuesday: 5:00 AM – 10:00 PM
• Wednesday: 5:00 AM – 10:00 PM
• Thursday: 5:00 AM – 10:00 PM
• Friday: 5:00 AM – 9:00 PM
• Saturday: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM
• Sunday: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Pretty standard opening times for Equinox, but we do wish they would stay open until 11:00PM on weeknights. Also their Friday + Saturday closing times are just way too early.

Not a single Equinox gym is open 24/7. That's surprising, we'd expect this luxury gym chain to offer an exclusive experience at all times of the day. More baffling is that in New York City—Equinox's homeground and headquarters—no clubs are open all-night-long. We think it would be a great opportunity (and PR story) for the brand. If anything changes, we'll be sure to update you here.
