Equinox Heartens NYC to Reach for the Gold with GOLDRUSH

Luxury gym and source of beach body envy, Equinox has taken summer fitness to next level intensity with its GOLDRUSH campaign: a Willy Wonka-esque competition for fitness fanatics. Turning New York into a torturous treasure hunt, Equinox has planted five un-purchasable Gold Memberships in nearly impossible to reach locations in and around city. Starting in at The Surf Lodge in Montauk—where over 50 entrants, including Neil Patrick Harris, free-dove 20 ft for the prize—to 5 ft gravel pit dig in Chelsea last month, these feats of strength fiercely test the limits of personal will and ask just about how much does every Manhattanite crave a Kiehl’s-lathered shower after a good cardio kick-in-the-ass at the multi-location fitness club. The gold membership prize includes a one-year global membership, 24 personal training sessions, monthly massages, and a personal locker at one’s club of choice, among other perks, with the final GOLDRUSH challenge occurring tomorrow, Wednesday, 26, 2015 at the Intrepid (Pier 86 W 46th St and 12th Ave).
