  Recent media coverage of sexual assault and harassment has empowered me to talk about my experiences. Sexual assault and harassment inside the men's locker room are very common at this location. Complaints are continuously ignored. The steam room is like a bathhouse. Unwanted sexual advances - check! Unwanted touching and groping - check! Self pleasure - check! Oral action - check! No condom anal sex - check! Retaliation, intimidation, and defamation by staff members if you complain - check! So what happened that led me to file a complaint? I had a long night and was recovering from a cold. I decided to use the steam room to clear my sinuses. The steam room was initially occupied by 2 guys. I sat in the corner and closed my eyes. Out of nowhere.. I felt a hand rubbed against my inner thighs near my privates. I opened my eyes and it was a guy (White male, 6'0", mid-late 20s, lean, ugly) with his left hand on my thigh and his right hand pleasuring himself. I pushed his left hand away. I was in shock and quickly got up and left. I looked to my left and a black guy (mid 20s, lean) was sucking an old white guy while another guy was pleasuring himself. I got dressed and ran upstairs to file my complaint. I told a black girl (nasty attitude, fake red dyed hair, 20s) working the front desk what happened. She rolled her eyes and laughed. I demanded to speak with a manager. She took out her phone and started browsing the web. I again demanded to speak with a manager. She then made a RACIST comment, walked to the back, stood near the copy machine and played with her phone. I went downstairs to the locker room to grab my items. I was still upset. I then proceeded to head back upstairs after retrieving my bag and clothes. The guy who molested me was an Equinox masseur. He was chatting and laughing with the black girl working the front desk at that moment. I believe his name is Nick. I yelled at them. But they continued to laugh. I received a phone call from a blocked number a few nights later. A guy said he was the manager of Equinox. I told him what happened. His response was "are you homophobic?". I told him "how am I homophobic if I'm openly gay? Being gay doesn't mean I'm ok with being groped by his masseur". He hung up the phone. How did Equinox intimidate and retaliate against me? Their managers and employees initially began with defaming my character with vicious rumors. It then escalated to stalking inside and outside of the gym. Employees started harassing and following me around the gym. Maintenance workers and personal trainers, especially an uneducated Asian guy (muscular build, late 20s, about 5'10", 190-200-lbs), would follow me into the locker room, spin room, etc. This then escalated to stalking me outside of the gym. Was it a coincidence that maintenance workers followed me from my home and workplace to another Equinox location? They were then able to check into that location as a member and harass me. Then came "anonymous" phone calls with threats. Manager: Sam Karr Assistant Manager: Steven Lewis Personal Trainer: Mike Masseur: Nick Front desk: Ruby Maintenance worker: Mexican male (40s, male) who directed two of his workers to follow me Equinox will NOT silence me! I will expose these guys and hopefully all of them will be criminally prosecuted. A gym membership should not come with Equinox's participation in sexual assault and harassment as well as threats to one's safety. Here's a tip! Take out your phone and make it known to the assistant manager, manager and front desk you're recording your complaint. Then immediately get the police involve.

  One of the small Equinox gyms in the city. I believe this location used to be a New York Sports Club. I went around 7:30PM and the crowd was disappearing from the after work rush. Was able to get a good workout in. Probably would not recommend during busy times.

  I was reached out by one of their representatives -Andrea Jijon for a disrespectful conversation. This person, who was trying to sell their service got angry and hang up the phone. I don't understand why a business would employ this kind of people. It is a bad business decision especially in this era! And your gyms are not really tempting. They look awful and I wouldn't want to work out at one of them. I told you many times and again, please stop harassing people!
