Unlocking Fitness: How to Experience the New Equinox in Rittenhouse Without Membership
Philadelphia’s luxury fitness scene just got a glamorous upgrade with the opening of the new Equinox Rittenhouse. Spanning 37,000 square feet across three floors of the Laurel residential building, this upscale gym promises not just a workout, but a luxurious lifestyle experience. From extravagant membership fees to the latest fitness trends, let’s dive into everything this fitness hub has to offer — especially for those who might not want to commit to a full membership.
Membership Insights: What Does It Cost?
As you might expect, joining Equinox isn’t your average gym experience. Membership fees start at $3,000 per year, which includes unlimited access to the gym, group classes (with the exception of Pilates), and one complimentary personal training session. If you travel often, an All-Access membership is available for $415 per month, which gives you entry into any Equinox location across the U.S. and Canada. Members also receive two guest passes annually, allowing friends to join in on the experience.
How to Enjoy Equinox Without Committing to a Membership
Wondering how to leverage Equinox’s impressive facilities without a full membership? You have options! First, if you know a member, utilize their guest pass for a day. Can't find a friend with access? You can purchase a day pass directly for $75. Another lesser-known option is booking a spa service such as a massage or cupping. Prices start at $81, and once you're in the spa, you gain access to the gym and all amenities — a perfect way to pamper yourself while sneaking in a workout!
Prepping for Classes: Timing is Key
Equinox offers a range of popular classes, but be prepared to plan ahead as they have a unique booking window. Reservations for classes open 26 hours in advance, not the typical 24. Setting an alert can make a big difference in securing your spot, especially for sought-after classes.
The Upcoming Pool and Amenities
Members and guests eager to take a dip will need to hold on a little longer; Equinox plans to unveil a stunning 75-foot saltwater pool later this spring, complete with hot and cold plunges. Until then, enjoy the premium locker rooms equipped with high-end products from Grown Alchemist for a full pampering experience.
Exceptional Shopping Inside Equinox
Don’t forget to check out the Equinox shop. From trendy athletic wear to top-tier skincare, it provides a compact but indulgent shopping experience. Members enjoy 15 percent off their initial purchase, adding even more value to their membership. The lobby also houses the popular Essex Squeeze for fresh smoothies and snacks — no membership or day pass required!
Equinox Rittenhouse opens its doors seven days a week, accommodating early birds and night owls alike. Monday through Thursday, it is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., while Friday hours extend until 9 p.m. and weekend hours are from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.. No matter when you decide to visit, you’re guaranteed an experience that’s about more than just a workout.
Excited to try out one of the most luxurious fitness experiences Philadelphia has to offer? Plan ahead and take advantage of the available options to enjoy Equinox — with or without a membership. The new Rittenhouse location isn’t just a gym; it’s a lifestyle destination that promises wellness and motivation at every corner!
