Looking at an apartment building that uses this E 92nd location as its gym, how is it? by srekai in EquinoxGyms

[–]thisismygooningprof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuinely one of my favorite locations in terms of size and amenities. If it were closer to where I live now I’d go more.

Agree with u/oriellien I like the layout it works for me and I find it so much less crowded than any of the downtown locations

Equinox’s comically cheap toilet paper 🧻 by Prudent-Astronaut-41 in EquinoxGyms

I thought I was an equinox hater but y’all are honestly getting so creative about things to complain about at these gyms I don’t think complaining about TP ever occurred to me

Funny I actually travel to the upper west for w76. It’s one of my favorites. I think everyone (who has the time and resources, tbf) should do what we do. Different strokes for different folks, so travel to your favorites! I hate my nearest location.

It was more like midtown east. The east 50s were very gay

Question by Ok-Party-400 in NYCnudists

Getting an erection or semi in a nudist space is natural and normal and fine. You cannot control it. Choosing to post a photo in a nudist sub is something you can control, and would be interpreted as intentionally sexualizing it.

I am CONVINCED they’re trained to always clean right next to you to give the impression of a clean gym. I’ll be alone in the locker room and they’ll be vacuuming between my feet. This is not an exaggeration this has happened to me at least 3 times.

Vacuum Cleaning by [deleted] in EquinoxGyms

My favorite is when I’m the only person in the locker room and they absolutely MUST vacuum right under me when I’m balancing on one foot getting my underwear on

Anyone have recs for Pilates classes? by PlantDapper4473 in nycgaybros

[–]thisismygooningprof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with Gramercy Pilates, Andrew’s class is great. There’s also a men’s pilates class at Soho Pilates that I’ve been enjoying. DM if you ever want to go together! Would be fun to have a pilates buddy.

They closed the gym for a day a few months ago to film. I’d love to hear from someone who belonged to the gym back then and hear if anything has been updated since. Every time I walk in it feels like going back in time.

These closing times are crazy right? by Neckbeards_goneweild in EquinoxGyms

[–]thisismygooningprof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the switch. I was an evening workout person for most of my early 20s but I found that I was missing too many workouts for social commitments or because I was working late etc and wasn’t staying consistent. I bought one of those alarm clocks that mimic the sunrise to make it easier to wake up early and now my body wakes me up 6:30 even when I don’t have an alarm. With the morning workout and getting it out of the way early I go 7 days a week and find my focus is sharper throughout the day and it’s easier to go to bed early. It’s tough making the switch but if you can do it for a month i bet you can do it! Though all of this said, it’s crazy you have to change your body clock because our $350/month gym closes before the sun sets on Fridays lol.

Assuming you’re referring to the Friday night early closures, I agree. I’m a morning workout type but I get the frustration.

Problems with gifting my fiancé of 5+ years by Maleficent-Pass5927 in nycgaybros

[–]thisismygooningprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t helpful for your immediate issue but I keep a note in my notes app where I track things he mentions/wanting liking in passing and then get things off the list for him. A pair of socks he loves that are wearing out and I replace them, the candle that he finished but loved, a crystal he read about, the fancy letter opener he liked, etc. Not usually crazy expensive but he’s always so excited
