Equinox Data Breach Class Action Settlement

What is the Equinox data breach settlement about?

The Equinox data breach class action settlement (McHugh v. Equinox, Inc. and Carter v. Equinox, Inc.) resolves two lawsuits alleging that Equinox failed to adequately protect member data in a breach on April 29, 2024. The breach potentially exposed names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, health insurance details, medical treatment and diagnosis records, medication information, financial account data, provider names, and MRN/patient IDs. Equinox denies wrongdoing but agreed to a $685,000 settlement fund.

Eligibility is limited to individuals who received a written breach notice from Equinox following the incident. That letter contains a unique notice ID required to file a claim at EquinoxIncSettlement.com. In addition to a cash payment, class members can enroll in three years of one-bureau credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance coverage at no cost. The final approval hearing is scheduled for November 12, 2026.
