Is Equinox gym worth the money?

I’ve been members at both la fitness and 24 hr fitness and much prefer 24hr. Mine is very quiet (manhattan beach), machines are good (I only do weights mind you) and the people are good.

LA fitness is overrun with teenagers in groups hogging machines, tiktoking and messing around on their phones. The people there are just generally more ignorant and disrespectful with their gym etiquette. I’m sure equinox is great tho, I just can’t stomach the price given all
I do is lift weights. 50lb weighs the same no matter the cost 🤷🏻‍♂️

Equinox is totally worth it if you go to the gym a lot. It’s cleaner, less crowded, and has better amenities. However, some of them are better than others. I used to have a multi-gym membership and tried out a number of Equinox gyms across LA and they are definitely not the same caliber everywhere.

But CC is often crowded.

Depends how often you go. I personally love it and it makes me look forward to going to the gym. I never wait for anything, machines and weights are top notch, and the locker rooms are amazing. Given I don’t go to classes very often, it might not be worth the full price tag tho (pwc subsidizes).

Make sure the hours for your location are good. Equinox closes earlier than most other gyms I’ve belonged to in LA which can be annoying.

Thanks for the insights!

Pro Tip: most people don't pay full price for a membership. See if there's a discount you can get from your company or from a friends. My friend worked at Bloomberg and she was able to recommend me to an equinox gym who then gave me a discount.

I've accepted my first SE role and I'm wondering how I did on salary. I'm coming from a network consultant role where I primarily implemented projects.

It's a good move for me from previous salary, wanting to compare it as an SE salary though. Given lack of sales background, I think I did good.

Has anyone done earthquake retrofitting for a house NEWER than 1980? I know it’s a must-do for houses OLDER than 1980. But my house was built in 1988, so it’s not required.

Several contractors provided estimates, in the $40k-$50k range, which seems like a lot of $$$.

Apparently our house has bolts but not enough and not the right kind, plus it needs joist blocking and shear paneling. All to meet codes put in place after our house was built.

Just curious if others have done this.
