Equinox memberships cost $250-400+/month — that's $3,000-4,800/year for a gym. The highest-tier Destination Access membership (all locations) can hit $400+/month. Equinox is a beautiful gym with eucalyptus towels and Kiehl's products, but at 10-20x the cost of a basic gym, the fitness results are the same. Here's how to cancel.
Equinox: $300/month. Planet Fitness: $25/month. The weights are the same heaviness at both gyms. Your muscles don't know the difference between a $300 bench press and a $25 bench press. You're paying for ambiance, not results. That's a $3,300/year difference.
Equinox requires written notice — you cannot cancel online or by phone call alone:
To: [Club Name] Equinox
Date: [Today's Date]
Re: Membership Cancellation — Member ID: [Your ID]
I hereby request cancellation of my Equinox membership effective as soon as permitted under my agreement. Please confirm receipt and the effective cancellation date.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
Many Equinox memberships have a 12-month commitment. Canceling early means paying a buyout fee equal to 50% of remaining months. If you have 6 months left at $300/month, that's a $900 early termination fee. Always check your contract first.
