The iPhone has made everyone’s life more convenient than ever. Whether you’re hungry, want to see a movie or you’re wondering what other films Spike Jones has directed, it’s all a click away.

Equinox is right there with you. Their new iPhone app goes beyond finding a class and the nearest location; it also helps Equinox members set and track fitness goals, offers playlists to fit their moods, lets members book a bike and even creates a personalized calendar of all workouts, favorite classes and instructors.

Equinox has a team of designers dedicated to developing a richer experience for their members, both in-house, online and on your phone with continually updated technology.

Any gym that is this committed to making it easier for you to work out is worth checking out. Equinox has teamed with Beautiful/Decay to offer our readers a 3-day trial pass to experience the Equinox near you.

After a long day in front of a computer pushing pixels and designing stuff the last thing I want to do is stare at a treadmill ticking off the minutes. I prefer group activities like yoga, pilates, the bar method, etc. And let’s face it, at typical gym these classes consist of wannabe actors phoning in a tired, repetitive routine until they force you to stop taking their class. On the other hand buying a series of classes at a yoga studio can run you $200 or more a month… what if you get bored of down dogs several times a week?

That’s where Equinox comes in, all of their classes are included in their membership fees so you have the pick of the litter: cycling, yoga, pilates, kick boxing, bar method- you name it. And the classes are plenty challenging, the Cardio Burn class had me running to grab a eucalyptus infused cold towel to keep from passing out. There’s so much to choose from, it leaves no time for boredom. And when you consider how much variety you have, the membership fee is a bargain. Curious? Take advantage of the 3 day trial membership and work up the need for a cold towel yourself.
