How to Become an Equinox Instructor

In Vulture’s video series, The Deep End, our video producer Madison Mills finds out out how hard it is to make it in New York by trying various careers she has no experience with whatsoever.

What does it take to make it as a fitness instructor in New York? I have no idea. Exercise is something I partake in out of necessity not enjoyment, and I’m more uncoordinated than most.
