Did... did you just unbox a gym ?
And how could you stand to touch that plebeian kettle bell? I hope you burned that shoe!
(but good info to have. thanks)
here is the gallery of pictures of equipment i took today:

every photo has a description saying what it is.
there were also many benches, they were very modern looking cybex ones, but i didn't take pictures of them because i don't bench press. i can do it later if you want.
all in all the quality of equipment is significantly above average for a commercial gym. in fact, probably better than 24 Hour Fitness in San Jose which was my benchmark. the 24 Hour Fitness in San Jose used almost exclusively Hoist, while Equinox Woodbury uses a mix of Life Fitness, Cybex, Hoist, Precor and Hammer Strength.
Also, forgot to add: this location is $8 less per month than Great Neck location and $13 less per month than Brooklyn location. That difference of course will be swamped by cost of gas to get there, but the main benefit of this gym is that you don't need to wait to use equipment because nobody is there.
There is no chalk ( obviously ) nor any CrossFit equipment.
One scary thing about the gym is how quiet it is. Like a library almost. When i was in:

also in Long Island, it was LOUD AS F@#% ! there were little kids there constantly dropping technique plates onto pulling blocks - i had to plug my ears. but the Equinox is dead silent, except for some music from the speakers. this is BAD because if you start dropping weights you're going to be the asshole i guess.

i have to say their kettlebell ad:

uses more awesomer kettlebells and chalk, but their actual kettlebells appear to be RKC ( i believe it said RKC on the side of a medium sized one, but not on that big one in the picture ). and of course - there is no chalk in the gym.
somebody should sue them for this crap LOL
what? no panorama(if iphone) or sphere(if android) pictures?!
This made me laugh. Dude, just go and pick up something heavy.structural detail on the main life fitness cable multi station
A purist. Rspkt.
