Equinox Santa Monica East

700 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA

Equinox Santa Monica East is the newer of the two Santa Monica Equinox locations — built around an immaculate rooftop and modern recovery suite that opened with cold plunge built in from day one. Equinox is a high-performance fitness club, and the wellness amenities — sauna, steam room, and (at select clubs) hot/cold plunge pools — are positioned as recovery infrastructure for members rather than as a destination spa. Access is members-only at all times; guest passes are available through current members but not as a drop-in product. This club is one of the Equinox locations with both hot and cold plunge pools, paired with the dry sauna and eucalyptus steam room — a stack that supports proper contrast cycling after a workout. Best fit for someone who already wants a full gym membership and treats sauna as a regular post-workout ritual. Not the right pick for someone hunting a sauna-focused experience without the gym overhead.
