EQ Fitness

I am only in the Half Moon Bay Area for 6-​weeks in the summer, but EQ Fitness has been perfect and reasonably priced for me to continue my fitness routine while away from home in the Midwest. I selected EQ because they have the best hours on the coast to adapt to my work schedule, and their weights and equipment are diverse and plentiful to accommodate my lifting routine as assigned by my trainer back home. I definitely think it says something positive about EQ that I can do everything my trainer back home prescribes as they are well equipped for whole body training. I love that the gym is never too crowded, the people are friendly, and the staff is very helpful. I was a little intimidated at first using some of the machines that are different than the ones back home, but the staff has been extremely helpful in showing me how to utilize the various machines that look and feel different than what I’m used to. I was also worried about using the equipment when the staff was offering small group classes, but they are so gracious to share space and equipment without making me seem like a burden. Overall I’ve been so happy with this facility to meet my short-​term Summer needs, and I would definitely recommend it to others who are looking for a local gym.

After being a member for two years, my contract price was increased to double the price half way through the middle of my contract. I thought this is not legal since it is a CONTRACT! This is a basic gym with no ammenities and should not be priced as an upscale wellness center.

I love this place. After being gym-​less for several years, I finally decided to stop being a complete lazy ass and signed up for EQ’s 30-​day trial. It was a great way for me to find out about the various programs available here. I highly recommend this route, because you can attend all the large group classes and you also get four small group training sessions.
I really like the fact that there are several different kinds of memberships available. You can choose to use just the gym equipment, or you can add on group classes, small group training, and personal training — whatever best matches your personal interests and budget.
EQ is not a huge place, but there are plenty of weights, strength training equipment, and cardio machines. The gym is very clean and the equipment is in great condition. I have never once seen an «out of order» sign. They’re also lacking that funky gym smell that I’ve noticed at some other clubs.
The staff are terrific! Everyone I have worked with so far has been encouraging and positive. A special shout out to Sarah, who is a fantastic trainer and a great motivator!

Best gym on the coast! I’ve been a member for over five years and the place just keeps getting better. Tons of fitness options include: classes (both small and large group), open gym, cardio room, and 1 – 1 personal training. EQ puts the FUN in functional fitness!

Worst customer service orientation at the top of the organization. Great Pilates class but after 100% price increase I think there are better alternatives available for gym access and classes.
