Equinox Sports Club Orange County

Fantastic experience: I've seen many fitness clubs. The Equinox Irvine definitely is the most spacious one I've seen. The front desk people are all very nice. There's a lot of staff making sure this gym stays very clean. There's a hot tub, pool, outdoor patio, full bar and restaurant, racquet ball rooms, indoor basket ball courts, large cardio and weight rooms, etc. I can stay here all day! Eric, the facility manager, is doing an awesome job updating this Equinox from the old Sports Club.

Fantastic experience: Nice but expensive~great smoothies! I pay over 200 monthly for membership monthly & over 700 down. Too much but nice to get away from daily hassels.

Fantastic experience: Am Amazing facility. I am there in the lounge every Wednesday day night at 6:45 PM to meet my guest for our Kangen Water demonstration. If you work out here or care to come be my guest please just walk on the lounge and ask a loud for Calvin. I will be expecting you.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing facility! The staff is very proffessional and friendly. I appreciate that Tiffany (new member sales) did not pressure me to sign a contract but instead educated me; allowing me to make my own decision. I love this gym!! It is very clean, open and spacious. Everything you could possibly need & more.

Fantastic experience: Jordan Eisleben provided my wife and I with an amazing 1st impression of equinox. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. Equinox is beautiful but what made the experience was Jordan. I could go on about how amazing he was to work with. Jared Carver (President of MMG)

Fantastic experience: Special thanks to Dino Glover

Fantastic experience: This gym was a dream. So much space, all the equipment you could want and an open functional space on the roof, which I closed rigs, rowers and a track. Very well designed!

Fantastic experience: Location location location

Fantastic experience: A club where you can accomplish all your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities and staff

Fantastic experience: Luxury. Very nice environment！

Positive experience: They're raised the prices and provided less..no more food court and the lockers continue to be a major issue that never gets addressed. However, good variety of weight machines and free weights.

Fantastic experience: It's expensive but it motivates me to try and come every day and use everything. It's in the perfect location for my needs. I can't wait until all of the amenities come back. Nice staff too!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym of my life. A whole gym smells like “ Eucalyptus” My favorite parts are “ Iced Wet Towels” and “ Eucalyptus Steam Room” . They give me gym + spa vibes. I have been membership since 2015 and this will be my forever gym.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best gym in Orange County. The cleanest, largest, most reputable. I used to have an ultra 24 hour fitness pass and it wasn’t near as good.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly environment from the front desk & managers, to the valet, to the members! I feel like I'm part of a community that truly cares about my well-being & how I'm doing on a personal level. Further, I always feel at home here & I can't say all the Kiehls beauty products in the locker rooms doesn't help with that. In regard to the actually working out part of going to the gym, there's always plenty of open equipment; I've never waited for a machine. Fitness instructors are always evolving as the class regulars grow stronger. Room for improvement however. If the equinox managers are reading this: (1) the ellipticals on the 3rd floor are unnecessarily too close together. 2 of the roughly 8 regular elliptical have faulty buttons that rarely allow you to adjust the difficulty level. Furthermore, there's rarely ever more than 3 people using those ellipticals at one time anyways. Thus, get rid of those 2 old ellipticals that don't work & space the remaining ellipticals out. (2) add another Norma Pilates class that people who have day jobs can actually go to! I understand that despite the Monday & Friday 10am pilates schedule, at time which the majority of the population is working, always ends up full. However, if Norma has the time, I'd bet adding another class either in the evening or on a weekend, would please a lot of other people that haven't been able to attend. In other words, I'm sure adding a 3rd Norma class would be easily filled. (3) Last, I know you've all been busy & you've been doing a great job. But, please, please, please open the cafeteria soon; or at least a smoothie bar. Spring is quickly approaching & my favorite place to get work done is after my workout, at equinox, lounging by the pool! Sounds relaxing right? It totally would be if my stomach wasn't ferociously growling!! A solution you may pose is to simply order door dash. However, door dash takes an 1+ hour to deliver a trivial item & often forgets at least 1 thing from my order. Further, last spring, I upgraded to monthly Dash pass b/c I found myself ordering so often & typically ONLY at the gym. So, it sort of just felt like a waste of money to spend all this time to burn calories at a place leaving me starving & spending all this money to eat more calories AT THE SAME PLACE. I hope you can see where I'm coming from here. In closing, dear reader, a smoothie bar would be a simple thing to bring back, would hopefully only require you to (a) open a small part of the cafeteria, & (b) to hire very few people. .... Additionally, almost all the luxury gyms have smoothie bars are something analogous. Therefore, it'd be in Equinox's best interest to continue competing w/ these other luxury gyms in the area by putting just a few extra time & resources into opening this smoothie bar! Thanks for reading & Happy New Year!

Fantastic experience: This is a gorgeous club, by far the best Equinox I've been to in California, and Aaron Mateski was the highlight for me. I did three weeks of personal training sessions with Aaron a few times a week. I've lost 5lbs. and counting since I started. Aaron is the ideal trainer. He pushes you while acknowledging your limits and physical constraints. We started with a body scan and a nutrition log, which he checked regularly to give me feedback. Our sessions were tough but progressive, getting a bit harder every time. And we worked in basketball to make it fun :) Aaron's a Oregon high school state champion point guard so that helps a lot Aaron also taught me a lot about nutrition and exercise science and helped clear out some unproductive beliefs holding me back. His thoughtful mobility and stretching exercises have also made a big difference on the basketball court, in the gym, and post-gym recovery. The best part of my time with Aaron and this club was building the habit to take fitness seriously, put in the work for my body every day, but remembering to have fun with it. I highly recommend this club. And if you can do it, work 1-on-1 with Aaron to attack your goals

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Equinox is by far the best gym i've been to. They have the best and newest workout equipment in town and the staff are always super nice and understanding. It really does motivate you to work out harder when you're in a processional environment like this.

Fantastic experience: First I want to comment on Rebecca the manager wow what a great Manager to have. I’ve had several massages there. Mila is absolutely phenomenal So is Sheila I can’t wait for her to return. Mila, thank you for a wonderful massage today and I can just tell you’re such a pleasant human being Nikki

Fantastic experience: Clean, sanitized, civilized, just love the people and missed being there during covid shutdown.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Clean , never too crowded.

Fantastic experience: That was my first time there seems like a really nice sports club

Fantastic experience: Start day to great your place

Fantastic experience: Fran Ruggles brags about stealing the Lulu lemon clothing from this place and selling them on line. The towels and hangers she has stolen are in her home at 14 Wayfarer.

Fantastic experience: All of the staff here are very nice and always smiling. Great, clean facility (usually you will see someone walking around cleaning things) and quality equipment. More than you would ever need all around at a gym weights and otherwise. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Most people working out here are extremely dedicated, but there's also no judgement. You will meet some great people as well!

Fantastic experience: Expensive but well worth the price. The personal trainers here are highly skilled and know what they're doing

Fantastic experience: I really like this location. I’ve never had a problem with the staff, from my experience they are pretty friendly, some more so than others, but no one has been unfriendly from my experience. There’s a restaurant, bar, and juice bar at this location; which is also reasonably priced and the food is pretty good. They have special events fairly regularly; not as often as San Francisco, but seemingly a bit more often than West Los Angeles.

Fantastic experience: Executive locker room is a plus. This place, like all gyms, has more men, but that's to be expected I guess.

Fantastic experience: amazing gym, great people,, price is getting to higher each year, which is not good,, but I love this place

Fantastic experience: Best Gym It's so expensive but it is worth to invest.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out and a office away from the office
