Most well

Hello.
Would you please shed some light on the accuracy and grammar structure of "most well equipped" ?
I personally think the phrase " best equipped" is a better alternative in the following context;

"AC gym is the best equipped gym in the area. "
Your opinion is appreciated.

hrsanei AC gym is the best equipped gym in the area. I don't find either form objectionable. The grouping can be (most well) (equipped) or (most) (well-equipped) , so if the speaker is mentally grouping in the first way, he'll probably choose 'best equipped'; otherwise, he'll choose 'most well-equipped'.
