We develop an equivariant min-max theory as proposed by Pitts-Rubinstein in 1988 and then show that it can produce many of the known minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^3$ up to genus and symmetry group. We also produce several new infinite families of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^3$ proposed by Pitts-Rubinstein. These examples are doublings and desingularizations of stationary integral varifolds in $\mathbb{S}^3$.
