Not a member, but always visit the juice bar when in Aventura Mall for the “Hyper Monkey Shake” it’s been consistently delicious and refreshing. Staff is also friendly and there is never a wait.

I joined the gym in April 16th and was encouraged by Jennifer, who told me I have a month to try it out and will have no problem cancelling if I don’t like it. Unlike other gyms they do not give you a free trial period, but charge - $231 for the first month.I tried it and didn’t like the experience. Instead of waiting the whole month, I requested the cancellation and refund after couple of weeks. I emailed, called and was very clear that I want cancellation and refund. Maria, the manager kept on calling back trying to get me to stay- just froze the membership. I finally was able to get the membership canceled after over a week of back and forth, talking to I think everyone in the club. They do not issue a refund even though it is clearly stated that I had 30 days.The whole experience is not right. I will have to deal with my bank to get my money back.There are plenty of gyms in the area that are better , especially for the price tag.

Amazing experience with this gym. Very good service and attention by Scotty who convinced me to try this gym for the summer. The machines are in very good condition and it is not crowded. Coming back tomorrow for my first session!

A very disappointing location. Had to start coming to this one because we moved. It’s not that clean and up to date. Also it’s only open until 9pm weekdays and 6pm weekends which stinks if you have small kids and can only workout late. Will have to keep going here because of location but don’t really like it.

Overpriced. The worst Equinox. Outdated, lack of customer service and you can’t cancel your membership for the whole year once you sign up. They need to change it if they want to get new clients.

LA Fitness has more to offer. This location is an embarrassment to the Equinox brand. OK for a once a year visit but not worth making your primary gym.

This Equinoxx location has taken a plunge. When it first opened more than a decade ago it was hands down, the best most modern and well-equipped gym in Aventura and Hallandale. Classes were absolutely packed and the gym enjoyed no competition whatsoever. Nowadays I can honestly say it is a total disaster. Customer service is non-existent, and the manager nowhere to be seen. As one member wrote, it reminds me of an overpriced Planet Fitness.

I am a member of Equinox since 2015. My favorite location is in Aventura Mall. Very convenient to train and do some shopping after. Jennifer Burke is an amazing advisor. She will always help with all your questions about your membership. Love the trainers and the great variety of classes. Ditto classes are excellent, there is always a line for his barre classes, so better book it in advance. There is no other gym as Equinox. Equinox helped me to get an amazing results in working out.

This gym inspired me to come in and work out more! Its super clean and the staff is so nice! I love it here...I would recommend everyone to come in and see the difference. The classes are super fun and effective, and Susan is an amazing pilates instructor.

Great gym. Clean, staff is very good. Equipment is new. Everything in its place. Easy access from parking garage, no need to go through whole mall. Cheap co.pared to NYC prices. Never busy but not empty either. Staff is not rude! La fitness is a dump. No comparison. Haters here are likely crass gym ratsI found zero broken equipment, steam rooms are working fine. No hair in towels...ridiculous complaints. Joined 2 weeks ago in March 2019. Join it. I lived in NYC for 2 decades. This gym is very good.

Came to get membership after 6 pm, 2 staff representatives were standing at the desk, they didn’t let me even to see the gym and check the equipment and what I can find and use inside (((, said, I have to come next day in normal business hours. Seems like management thinks only they work, others sleep till night and do nothing!Congratulations, Equinox! You just lost 3 potential members! Keep do it!

Not really sure what all of the negative reviews are about. The staff here is really great and very helpful. The gym is kept extremely clean and staff is constantly cleaning it. The juice bar is really good and they have an all organic menu. The members who go there pick up after themselves (for the most part), and the weights are always racked. Way better than LA or any other gym in the area.

First off, I have previously been a member of 3 different Equinox locations, all of which were worth the high monthly fee. However, this location is the equivalent of paying $160 for a Planet Fitness. In addition to that, if you need to cancel within the 1 year marker, they will make your life a living hell and ask for mountains of documentation regarding why.

There is not one month I don´t regret signing up to Equinox. After I left, every month they charge me and my wife again. I tried calling, emailing, review on facebook. Had to cancel my credit card several times and magically they find a way to charge me again. This month was even worse cause they charged me twice. My balance was over my limit, affects my credit.

Been a member for over a year now, this is definitely one of my favorite of their locations in Miami. Staff is always curtious and willing to help. Have worked with trainers and received regular massage therapy to help me reach my goals. I love the progress I see and look forward to continued progress.

Nice gym. I have been a member for 4 years. Completely different clientele than all the meathead gyms and cross fit warehouses. The equipment is well maintained and accessible. If you train during peak hours in the morning or early evening, you may have to wait for certain stations. 6-8 pm is extremely busy. So, if you are into circuit training you may want to come in later or before 6. This is where the gym loses points for me. If you are into the number of classes they offer and workout traditionally old school, than anytime is fine.

Review №35

Before signing up i was told by 2 different salespeople that I will be able to cancel my membership any time! Now they dont honor it and ignore my emails/request to cancel my membership. Could you belive such respoctful place as equinox would lie and deceive people?? Not only that, since the beginning of membership, I got way too many TEXT massages trying to up sell me their personal training services. DONT TRUST EQUINOX AVENTURA!!! I have very bad experience with them!!!

Review №36

Worst equinox I’ve been to by far and complete joke of a high end gym. This is a rip off to all equinox members in that area. I’ve been to different locations throughout the us and Canada, and this was by the Far the worst club. The gym equipment is older and outdated, the staff is no where to be found, and the towels were not clean (found hair in a few of the towels). I usually go to Brickell heights and went here because I was in the area. Last time I ever go here. I would strongly reconsider a new location in this great area. I only gave one star to be nice. Terrible experience.

Made an appointment with Steven on very short notice. First visit to Equinox and was going for a massage on my shoulders which have been bothering me for over a week. Steven began with a brief assessment and I told him about the areas that were in pain. He was very informative throughout the whole process. The massage itself was excellent and very relaxing. After he gave me follow up advice on stretches and exercises I can do to help. I felt a huge difference and was completely surprised at how much of a difference he was able to make in just one session. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone needing therapy and will be repeating again.

I will never ever go back and if you are considering becoming a member I would advise you to tread carefully, go somewhere else where their business practices are honorable and not shady like this place. So beyond disappointed.

Unfortunately the lack of professionalism is loosing members daily. The staff specially the manager Rebeca Andossi the manager who is the rudest person ,who has no customer skills at all.. leaves no room for any negotiation..Equinox truly has to look in to the people that represents this facility. The trainers manager..Mat Swadener again a joke as a manager...please Equinox invest a little more in more professional staff, take care of your members..and realize that been nice take s you farder...but those people really got to go !!!

Hello, I’m sorry, but this gym deserves a 5 star. This is a gym it’s not social time people!!!! This gym is super clean and machines are well kept and on top of that new. The staff, especially front desk, are super nice, attentive and cordial individuals. I see from afar how the trainers train their clients very well, and they are passionate about it even at 5am!! The bathroom, OMG, I saw their staff cleaning the grout between the tiles!!! Where do you see that?!?!? I do feel that I’m paying for what I’m getting which is quintessential service!! The manager is doing a great job! Keep it up! I love the vibe!Randall, thanks for the follow up and making the membership integration smooth and simple. Even when I was coming back to Miami/Fort Lauderdale from a trip!So far the gym is great, staffs are friendly, the facility is clean, and ultimately it’s a gym not a hotel people!!!! Just my two cents!Join the club, you won’t be disappointed if you are truly a workout alcoholic or at least close to it! Machines and all others are always available!!!!It’s not cheap but if you can’t afford it don’t join and hate on it after!!! Cheap @ss haters! Lol! You’re paying for quality and mixing with people of a higher level. Excuse me! LOL! This is no YouFit or Planet Fitness. VIP peeps! The gym is nice! Sorry for sounding snarky but it’s true though. What can I say! It is what it is! It’s overall a unique experience! It’s nice! You won’t be disappointed. I promise you!

They charged me $ 109 for the rest of the month, 8 days passed and they charged me $ 181 more, explain my situation and they said no, if it is an equivalent for the rest of the days of the month, why do they charge $ 181 more after 10 days? exaggeratedly simply expensive, the person who attended me was unable to explain anything to me, I do not recommend it.They charged me $ 109 the rest of the month, 8 days passed and they charged me $ 181 more, explain my situation and they said no, if it is an equivalent for the rest of the days of the month, why do they charge? $ 181 more after 10 days? exaggeratedly simply expensive, the person who attended me could not explain anything to me, I do not recommend it.

I would like to put less 5 stars, my children gave me a gif card that they bought online, and when they wanted to use it they told me that this purchase was a fraud, they treated me like a thief, then I called the main office and they really validated the veracity of my purchase, they told me that whenever I apologize, and when I returned again the same thing happened to me that the card did not exist in the system, this happened for more than six months, I finally gave up the money was 150 dollars, talk to everyone the workers and from all I received bad treatment this happened in adventure with the workers MARIA TOMITZ and SABINA SHUMINOR manager and general assistant summary they robbed me
