Free and open to the public for Equinox members and non-members alike, guests will be invited to take the gym's most popular group fitness class, the high-intensity MetCon3. Post class, attendees will have access to exclusive discounted shopping, special Equinox promotions and a premium gift bag featuring Rhone's latest GoldFusion technology which infuses gold particles into the brand's highest-performance fabrics for a softer, safer, faster-drying, longer-lasting, odor-neutralizing activewear garment.
