The one that’s most convenient to where you live

You won’t get your money’s worth if it’s inconvenient to go there

This is simple and great advice. Even an extra 5-10 minute commute is enough to "nope" out of so many workouts

And if you’re only working out at these expensive club-styles of gym you’re wasting money

You have to go there to hang out and enjoy the other amenities in addition to work outs

Exactly this. Both are chock full of features that are worthless if you don't go. I only have firsthand experience with Vida from pre-pandemic, and they (multiple locations) were great. But I've used Equinox in other cities and a very similar upscale gym vibe.

Are you gay and want to be around other gays? Vida. Otherwise equinox

I’m a bisexual woman who’s trying to get back into shape (ex college rugby player). Is the gay population at Vida primarily men? I also don’t mind that. Just asking for clarification.

I'm a straight guy who goes to VIDA on U st. There's definitely a large number of gay men at VIDA. Small portion of straight men. Pretty sizeable portion of women as well though.

If VIDA is more convenient for you, go with it.

Vida is way cheaper without much difference in quality - I pay $119 a month for Vida, last time I checked Equinox was upwards of 250

I have no visual impairments and I find the lighting at the U St vida to be really difficult as well.
