Industry-Best Education

Equinox is proudly recognized as the industry leader in Personal Training, with the first in-house education of its kind through the Equinox Fitness Training Institute. For twenty years, EFTI has inspired our trainers to design comprehensive client fitness programs that are safe, effective, and results-driven.

  • Equinox’s three brand pillars are Movement, Nutrition, and Regeneration—elements that we feel should all work synergistically to optimize life and health. MNR is the summation of three decades of experience in the industry and embodies our results-based approach.

  • We support the growth of our community by offering programming that draws on some of the industry’s best minds to reframe health and performance.

  • Compelling knowledge and perspectives from a comprehensive group of experts will elevate your approach to personal health, physical performance, and longevity.

Trainer Tiers Explained

  • Tier 3 Trainers follow the required initial guided EFTI instruction. Trainer education and professional development is now more self-selective, based on the Trainer’s personal specialties and interests.

  • Tier 3+ Trainers have completed an advanced certification in behavioral change through Precision Nutrition, complementing their knowledge of optimized physical conditioning and performance.

  • Tier X Trainers have fully transformed from Trainer to Coach, having completed an extensive curriculum centered on lifestyle management. With advanced teaching skills, Tier X Trainers have the most advanced health and wellness coaching experience and are true ambassadors for the MNR lifestyle.

LEADERSHIP & DEVELOPMENT

The Personal Training department believes in a culture of growth. Most of the senior PT department leadership, both at the national and regional levels, started as Equinox Personal Trainers. For Personal Trainers to excel in our culture, we look for demonstration of key managerial and leadership attributes and behaviors.
