US – Equinox Fitness, renowned for its luxury wellness gyms and premium pricing, has introduced Optimize by Equinox, a personalised longevity programme priced at £31,595 ($40,000, €36,815) annually. Recognising members’ desire for tailored fitness and nutrition guidance, Equinox partnered with Function Health, a health lab offering over 100 lab tests and personalised coaching led by Dr Mark Hyman.
Julia Klim, Equinox’s vice-president of strategic partnerships and business development, told Fortune that the company ‘has always been known to anticipate consumer needs and to come up with programs to support them’. Optimize by Equinox aims to redefine fitness by delving into internal health markers, mirroring the approach of elite athletes who prioritise comprehensive performance optimisation.
Launching initially in New York and Texas, the programme offers extensive assessments, including diagnostics on movement, nutrition and sleep.
