The office of Sarah Robb O'Hagan, president of Equinox Fitness, has both a chair and an exercise ball.

Pencils with the Equinox logo remind Ms. O'Hagan of a big step forward for the company. 

WHERE SHE IS We're at 895 Broadway in Manhattan, right above one of our Equinox clubs. My office is one floor above the top floor of the club. I can hear music pumping through underneath me during group fitness classes. I like it, actually. It's inspiring.

WORLDLY VIEW You have to have a globe when you are a global citizen. I was born in New Zealand. I grew up in London. I moved to the United States in my 20s and became an American.

ATHLETIC INSPIRATIONS I have photos of Derek Jeter and Serena Williams that they signed. On a different wall, I also have one of my father, who was a rugby player.

DAILY BLOOMS It's nice to have something fresh there on a daily basis. Maybe that's the feminine side of me coming out. That is done by my assistant.

NEAT OR MESSY? Despite my best efforts to be tidy, I never am. I've gotten to the point in my life where I am comfortable with that, because it says something about me. I'm one of those people who have a lot on her their desks, and for me those are little pieces of inspiration.

DEVICE JUGGLING My workspace is really my phone, tablet and computer. I tend to navigate among them all day.

LAPTOP FRIENDLY My MacBook Air has to fit inside my handbag. It's a Tory Burch bag.

FLATS, HEELS, SNEAKERS I come in every morning wearing flats, carrying a little bag with heels in it. Then I always have sneakers and workout gear in my office, because at any moment I like to know that I can pop down to the club.

FIRST-STRING SEAT I try to sit on the exercise ball on and off during the day. I find it hard to sit on one for long periods of time, but that forces me to get up and move around more, which is something I am really working hard on right now. I don't want to remain seated all day.

SECOND-STRING SEAT That desk chair is something I inherited. I focus more on the exercise ball.

CARPET-FREE ZONE The building has hardwood floors. They have character. They are creaky.

PENCIL BOUQUET We have a bunch of pencils that have the Equinox logo and flags on them, which we made when we were celebrating our move to London. I love looking at them on the desk and remembering the day we had the meeting and celebrated.
