Aescape & Equinox: Bringing AI Recovery to 60 Locations

Aescape 和 Equinox：将人工智能康复技术引入60个地点

Built by alumni from Amazon, Apple, Tonal, Uber, MakerBot, and more, Aescape became the first commercially available automated massage experience when it launched with Equinox, the authority in high-performance luxury living, at select NYC locations last year. Following strong demand, high engagement, and a spike in memberships, Equinox is expanding the partnership to 60 locations nationwide, marking a milestone in the integration of AI-powered recovery as a core fitness and wellness amenity..

由亚马逊、苹果、Tonal、优步、MakerBot等公司的校友打造，Aescape在去年与高端豪华生活权威机构Equinox合作，在纽约市的部分地点推出，成为首个商业化的自动按摩体验。在强劲的需求、高度参与和会员数量激增之后，Equinox正将这一合作扩展到全国60个地点，标志着人工智能驱动的恢复技术作为核心健身和健康设施的一个重要里程碑。

'Aescape immediately resonated with our members, offering a private, effective, and highly personalized massage experience – on their time,' said James Gu, Sr. Director of Spa at Equinox. 'This partnership reflects our commitment to having the most advanced recovery solutions available, and we’re excited to bring it to more locations across the country.'.

“我们的会员对Aescape立即产生了共鸣，它提供了一种私密、高效且高度个性化的按摩体验——完全符合他们的时间安排，”Equinox水疗高级总监James Gu表示。“这次合作反映了我们致力于提供最先进的恢复解决方案，我们很高兴将其推广到全国更多地点。”

This makes Equinox the first fitness brand to integrate fully autonomous, AI-driven massage at scale, setting a new standard for on-demand, high-performance recovery experiences.

这使得Equinox成为首个大规模整合全自动、人工智能驱动按摩的健身品牌，为按需提供的高性能恢复体验树立了新标准。
