Equinox, the upscale US gym chain, has partnered with testing startup Function Health to introduce a $40,000 annual gym membership.
The program, called “Optimize by Equinox,” offers members personal training, sleep coaching, nutritional planning and 100 functional health lab tests.
The initiative is part of a growing longevity industry that leverages advanced technology in the fight against aging.
Strategic partnership between physical fitness and medical testing
Julia Krim, vice president of strategic partnerships at Equinox, said the partnership marks “the next chapter in healthspan and longevity.”
He added that the collaboration brings together top-level personal training, innovative research, nutrition and regenerative data, and “represents a new era of personalized, performance-driven health.”
This partnership aims to provide a holistic approach to health, combining physical fitness with cutting-edge medical testing.
Function Health clinical examination
Function Health was founded in 2023 and aims to help its members live a 100-year healthy life.
The company offers more than 100 laboratory tests that assess the health of your heart, kidneys, liver, and thyroid, along with other factors such as nutrients and stress levels.
Mark Hyman, co-founder and chief medical officer of Function Health, said the combination of Equinox’s expertise and comprehensive clinical testing methodologies “gives us access to a level that is accessible to leading physicians and biohackers.” “It will unlock greater levels of health and fitness.”
Membership package includes personalized health program
The $40,000 membership package includes three personal training sessions per week and two consultations per month with a nutritionist.
Function Health tests are used to design personalized health programs for our members.
The program will initially be available at Equinox’s E-Clubs in New York City and Highland Park, Texas later this month.
Plans for expansion to other locations are also currently underway.
