After reading the stories on the site, it's clear that Equinox is more than a gym, it changes people's lives. Here's how Equinox helped change Anne Hudson-Price's life:
"In August 2009, I was in a near fatal car accident. I broke my neck in five places — every nurse in the hospital told me it was a miracle I wasn’t paralyzed. The surgery was intense: five hours in the operating room and three fused vertebrae in my neck. Because I was in great shape before the accident from attending Equinox’s classes, I was able to go back to the gym a week after my surgery. Both my physical therapist and my doctor say that the reason I recovered so quickly was 100% because I had always been so active."Anne says the scar on her neck tells her story because it symbolizes her recovery from something that can knock someone else down. Everyone has a story. Start yours today with a three-day trial membership to Equinox.
