Equinox Integrates Oura Ring Data into EQX ARC: A New Era in Women's Health

Equinox, a brand synonymous with high-performance luxury lifestyle, is paving the way for enhanced women's health with the launch of EQX ARC. This innovative program integrates essential biometric data from the Oura Ring, the world’s most trusted smart ring, enhancing the fitness experience for women.

Understanding EQX ARC

Launched officially on January 16, 2026, EQX ARC aims to address the unique physiological needs of women throughout different life stages. Backed by notable women's health experts and relevant scientific research, this program focuses on critical transitions such as cycle health, fertility, postpartum changes, and perimenopause. The program bridges the worlds of fitness and precise health data, offering personalized coaching that enables women to better understand their bodies, empowering them to train with intention.

Biometric Insights for Personalized Training

The integration of Oura's biometric insights is a standout feature of the EQX ARC program. Members who opt to share their data with Equinox gain access to continuous health metrics, including sleep patterns, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and temperature trends. These insights equip both members and coaches with the data needed to personalize workout routines, recovery strategies, and overall lifestyle choices. This real-time feedback allows for smarter decision-making tailored to individual physiological signals, promoting a more effective training regimen.

A Comprehensive Approach to Women's Health

Equinox is not just about fitness; it’s about advancing a comprehensive approach to women's health. The collaboration with Oura and Function—a partner that provides access to over 160 lab tests—creates a new standard in health precision. Together, they offer members an extensive overview of their health, enabling them to understand their body’s performance and the necessary steps to enhance their well-being.

Dr. Chris Curry, MD, PhD, Clinical Director of Women's Health at Oura, emphasized the importance of this integration, stating, "Oura's insights help women understand how their bodies respond to training, stress, sleep, and recovery, enabling smarter health choices." This collaborative effort is shaping a future where women can approach health and performance with well-informed strategies.

Addressing Underrepresented Needs

Historically, women's training and recovery needs have often been overlooked in fitness frameworks. Dr. Tiffany Lester, MD, Women’s Health Medical Director at Function, noted, "For too long, women have been expected to train and recover without frameworks that accurately reflect their physiology." Function is committed to making advanced health testing accessible, presenting a thorough women’s hormone panel accessible to every member. This partnership signifies a notable shift towards incorporating nuanced health insights into fitness coaching.
