I am an entrepreneur and mom of 3 kids. With my busy schedule, I've found myself forgetting to eat,…read morenot making the time (or losing track of time) to eat, and then gorging myself during dinner. This resulted in a physique that didn't improve with my normal workouts. My poor eating habits stemmed from a lack of structure and a lack of guidance. I knew this, but I didn't know HOW to do better. So, I reached out to Kelly because I realized I needed to make a shift. I honestly had no idea what I was in store for. I had joined a recipe challenge with Kelly in the past, so I assumed some great recipes and meal prepping would be the answer. HAH! That was not the case and, had that been all I received, it would have only been a temporary solution for me, personally, because I lacked some fundamentals that will carry me confidently into the rest of my life. Kelly spent so much time with me (online/phone) to learn about my current situation (body weight, measurements, daily eating routine, types of food I like, etc.). Soon, I received a weekly list of meals and ingredients that correlate to my personal taste. I also received alternative foods and suggestions. Kelly explained exactly how many calories, fat, carbs, and protein I needed to transform by body to what I was looking to achieve. I'm going to be 100% honest: I thought, "Is this one more thing I need to manage? I don't have time for this..." When I discovered that I would have to actually learn and integrate something new into my life, I was instantly resistant, but Kelly calmed me down and assured me I could handle it. She was right and I realized that becoming more aware of how often I eat and what I put in my body was necessary and NOT a big deal. It just became part of my routine...it became second nature...easy breezy!! By the way, I have not felt any "lack" - I love the food I eat, and I do not feel deprived at all. Kelly REALLY helped pave the path for a lifetime of good choices. I feel good and I am confident in my body! Thank you Kelly!!! P.S. This process was all done virtually! This can be done from anywhere! My transformation was visible in 30 days and exceeded my expectations at the 3 month mark.

Panthro is in a class of its own. Offering bootcamp-style…read moreclasses as well as strength training focused classes gives me the variety I want in my fitness. Class experience: Whether strength or bootcamp, every class feels new, thoughtful, and carefully designed to work my body. The trainers are always very helpful in providing modifications to exercises to accommodate injuries. The trainers also are helpful in providing feedback on form and motivation. For me, it feels like I have my own personal trainer for a fraction of the price. Community: Not only are the trainers amazing at Panthro, but the people who go to Panthro are as well. When you go to Panthro, you also join a friendly and encouraging community. Results: My body is noticeably different now from when I started. I am stronger and have better muscle definition--receiving multiple compliments from friends and family. The result I appreciate the most is a significant reduction in injuries and recovery times. Pulling a muscle in my back at home? Nope Fatigued after a vigorous day of yard work or helping someone move? Nada. My main motivation for going to the gym is to care for my body and enable me to live my best life--Panthro certainly provides that value for me.

If you're looking for coaches for who genuinely care and want to see their clients do and feel…read morewell, this is the place! I spent a year or longer after moving to Pittsburgh attending classes in many different gyms around the city. I've found other establishments that I enjoy and get great work outs in and click with the coaches but no one compares to the service received at Panthro from Chris and his team. Chris is passionate and knowledgeable in what he does with clients. Not only have I seen some of the best results in my body but feel great and know I'm at the strongest I've been. No doubt I'm going into 30 in the best shape of my life. Chris frequently checks in and remembers problem areas or things I have been working on. If I'm having trouble with an area, he is quick to suggest and demonstrate specific stretches and adjust any of the days work out to ensure the best and most effective experience. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!! I have 2-3 gyms on my list that I love in Pittsburgh but hands down, Panthro is it! It's small, intimate and such a welcoming gym. I've taken classes with Chris and Casey but trust that Chris brings the best coaches to his team!

We visited Legends for a ninja birthday party. The entrance is a bit confusing, as the doors under…read morethe sign lead right into the weight room; however, the party room is accessible on the other side, which requires that you go through a different mall entrance. The party room is sparse but you can do whatever you want once you're there. Our friends brought all sorts of their own party supplies, then ordered food from the pizza place in the mall food court. The kids are guided through a variety of obstacles courses with two "coaches." Challenges include jumping off foam blocks, walking across a double tight-rope, a climbing wall, a zipline, and others. I can be fairly easy for kids to get some bumps and bruises - but my son certainly LOVED the concept. I would absolutely recommend considering Legends for a similar ninja birthday party!

Pros and Cons of the studio: Pros: -Very nice clean studio, fully equipped, new equipment (I didn't take a reformer class, so review is more for the TRX, weights, mats, etc). -Mary's Class was awesome, she totally kicked my butt the entire class. Felt stronger after her class Cons: -Website has very little information about attire for classes. I practice classic pilates twice a week in Dallas and not once have ever had to bring tennis shoes for a class. You need tennis shoes for the Kettle Ball/Pilates Class! Updates need to made to the schedule webpage that simply say "Tennis Shoes Required for this class." -Studio was really hot-the teacher was trying to lower the temp, but nonetheless I was still borderline about to pass out for the last 30 minutes of class. If this is your first time visit studio is on the second floor, some locals were able to point me in the right direction! Next time I am home I will take another class, but be more careful and call ahead about taking a traditional Pilates mat class instead.

I found the box/gym because my high school friend took me to his gym while I was back in town and have been joining him and his family for the past 2 years when I go back to where we grew up. The space reeks of nostalgic CF gyms and that makes me yearn for the days when it wasn't as corporate as some places have become. It's situated in an industrial park and lacks the creature comforts that some boxes have embraced (like A/C, for example). It's beyond clean for a CF gym and has oodles of equipment and devices to ensure you get a proper workout and instruction from one of the many qualified and excellent coaches. The membership embraced me and my loud nonsense (personality) which isn't always the case when I'm visiting other CF locations. They are all supportive, engaging to new people (there have been other instances where I wasn't the only drop-in that class), and there's no territorial or ego struggles among the members. Alex has created a culture that embodies what the name means and has meant for the past 2 decades. I can't recommend TPA/CF enough for people in the area or those looking for a place to drop in and not be judged or held at arm's length the entire time. This is a place for fitness, improvement, and celebration of the fitness journey. What Alex has created here is something truly special and I will be returning soon.

Oof! This place is no joke. My body feels like it's on fire for daysssss after a [solidcore]…read moreworkout, but in a good, muscle building type of way. I will admit that this place is tricky to find the first time around. It's in the same shopping plaza as Whole Foods but it's in an adjacent building and the entrance is in the back. The class itself is slow yet fast-paced, which I guess is hard to describe. The instructor talks you through each movement and previews the next one while you're still finishing up the previous movement. There's a series of countdowns and movements, and while you can take a breather, the point is to work constantly through the 50-minute class. The machine that's used is like a gym Swiss Army knife. Just when I think I've done every possible thing on it, there's another new movement. There's probably 200 things you could do on there, maybe more. The ambiance is darker and kinda warm. But I'm definitely dripping sweat by the end every time and I'm always sore the next day, especially muscles that get little attention otherwise, like obliques and inner thigh muscles. Maddie, the studio manager, is very welcoming and accommodating and has been my favorite instructor so far. But all of the instructors have been good!

I was shaking after the workout...very intense and challenging in the best ways. The studio design is really slick and industrial, which I prefer but not everyone's cup of tea. The only doc I have for [solidcore] is more for the ClassPass side of things. The classes are an insane amount of credits per class (most classes on CP are 2-5 and [solidcore] classes are 7-10 each). If the credit amount was lowered to be comparable to other pilates studios in the area and on the app, I think more people would come more often (and I would be able to come more frequently too)!
