• Location: Santa Monica, California
• Pay: $39.50 to $43.50 per session and $18.47 per hour for non-session work

Massage Treatments At Santa Monica East

Each appointment begins with an assessment of the client's current needs. The therapist then selects an appropriate approach from deep tissue, sports, prenatal, or Swedish massage and builds the session around the treatment plan.

Equinox uses treatment lengths from 25 to 110 minutes. A therapist cleans the room after each appointment and again at the end of the shift, keeping the treatment area ready for the next client.

• Assess current client needs before treatment
• Perform deep tissue, sports, prenatal, and Swedish massage
• Build treatment plans for individual clients
• Complete room cleaning after appointments and at shift end
• Maintain professional communication with club staff and clients

California Records And Professional Standards

California regulatory requirements include intake forms, waivers, and SOAP notes. The therapist records the information needed for a safe treatment relationship and follows the documentation process attached to each service.

The position calls for a working knowledge of anatomy and movement related to soft-tissue manipulation. Ethical conduct, computer literacy, communication skills, and willingness to learn are also part of the qualifications.

Evening and weekend availability shapes the schedule at the Santa Monica East club. The work combines scheduled treatments with the client communication needed to build repeat treatment programs.

The therapist can generate new business by helping clients understand treatment programs and retain clients through consistent service. Collaboration with club staff remains part of the role, so the work extends beyond a single treatment room.

Equinox Benefits And Skill Development

Equinox employees receive benefits and complimentary club membership. The employer also lists commission opportunities for club employees, discounts on Equinox products and services, and incentives connected with Personal Training, Pilates, Spa, and Shop services.

Bespoke educational opportunities give therapists a structured way to continue developing their skills. The Santa Monica role therefore includes a professional learning component alongside client treatment work.

Equinox And Its Club Network

Equinox operates alongside SoulCycle and Equinox Hotels. The company has locations in the United States, London, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Equinox identifies itself as an equal opportunity employer. The Santa Monica East role sits within a multi-brand fitness and hospitality company while keeping massage treatment, client records, and room standards at the center of the work.

The spa employment market includes roles that combine hands-on treatment with client retention and team practice. The Equinox position defines those duties through specific session formats, California licensing, and evening and weekend availability.

The role's strongest preparation points are a current California credential, clear treatment documentation, and comfort with the client communication required for continuing programs. Those elements shape the workday alongside the hands-on services.
