At Equinox Fitness Club's new My Body My Biography site, they're showcasing stories from members whose lives have changed with the help of Equinox. 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.
