Equinox: When Your Gym Bag Is More Prada Than Nike

Hey, you in the stilettos! The Hamptons are calling. They say that cocktail may be yum, but it’s not exactly helping you in your quest for a body a la Adrianna Lima. Time for a trip to Equinox.

Treadmills, weights, that old locker-room smell… they’re usually so yuck. But not at Equinox. It’s part fitness laboratory, part Zen spa, part hot spot (yes, hot as in hottie). There’s no Jazzercise here.

Classes sound more like the cocktails you were sipping than group fitness: ‘Whipped’ sculpts with kettlebells and ropes. ‘ViPR’ carves abs to make even Gwen Stefani drool. ‘Barre Burn’ is ballet inspired by bodies like Natalie Portman’s in Black Swan.

More into exercise that’s one-on-one? Grab a sexy personal trainer, and gear up for your Hanky Panky. They’ve all graduated from Equinox’s proprietary fitness institute and make Jillian Michaels look easy.

After all that sweating, you know you deserve a 24-carat Gold Standard facial, so head to the Spa. They’ll buff you to a red carpet-ready luster with their chic minimalism, Kiehl’s Since 1851 amenities and eucalyptus-infused towels in no time.

Sign up here for a 3-day membership. Whatever your goals – to get back into those skinny jeans, look tres fab over spring break or simply make Heidi Klum jealous – Equinox gets you there.

Look out, Adrianna.
