I am working in San Francisco for the summer only, and also traveling very frequently for work, so it doens't make sense for me to have a membership at a gym here for now. However, Equinox is just across the street and I was hoping to be able to use it occasionally and pay for each visit. That would have been a great way to ""test drive"" the gym and consider getting a membership at my permanent location given I like the gym. I called Equinox and was told that getting a one year contract is my only option. I thought this membership policy is too rigid and wish club managers utilized a better judgement of the situation... Seems like a loss for both parties....
Cons: not flexible membership terms
