Equinox

 

This page contains information The Cult Education Institute has
gathered about Equinox.

There is a special Equinox Hotline (202) 326-2103
where consumers can hear the latest developments--
if you wish to speak to the FTC
call the toll free hotline 1-877-FTC-HELP

Note: Another group named "Trek Alliance" was formed 
by two people formerly associated with Equinox. 
That group has also generated serious complaints.
