Many NYC gyms with Brooklyn branches treat their outer-borough siblings as poor relations. Not so
Equinox, which has a luxury gym in Brooklyn Heights.
The 5 story fitness emporium includes a spa, a juice bar, coat check and kids' club.
The impeccably clean locker rooms have Kiehl's products, beautiful tile and large, soft towels.
There are also early morning, mid-day and evening classes, with a Pilates studio, spin room and yoga studio.
I was impressed with the number of weight benches, free wights and bosu balls scattered throughout, with trainers who actually returned equipment so you could easily find what you needed.
My only gripe with Equinox is that the cardio equiment only has a few overhead monitors, instead of individual screens. If you like to channel hop, you are limited by the choices, which on the day I exercised, were CNN, CNN and soaps. Doesn't anyone watch here E!?
But the gym also has great music pumping through, so you can remove your ear plugs and be more social.
