Equinox Ordered to Pay $11.25 Million in Gender, Race Discrimination Lawsuit

Equinox, New York, has been ordered to pay $11.25 million after a jury found the company liable in early May in a race and gender discrimination lawsuit, according to Crumiller P.C., the law firm for the plaintiff, Röbynn Europe.

Europe was a personal training manager at Equinox’s East 92nd Street location where she said she was subjected to a hostile work environment and ultimately fired in September 2019 based on her race and gender.

Europe was awarded $1.25 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. She will also be awarded $16,000 in economic damages representing back pay, which was previously agreed to by the parties.
