The staff and members are extremely friendly and always greet people with a nice smile. My favorite part is the unique and electric decorations all throughout the gym! Not to mention, their equipment is top-notch. FF has outstanding machines that isolate certain muscles from different angles. (perfect for bodybuilding!) I am proud to be a member of this gym because its uplifting atmosphere motivates me to show up every single day. If you are ever in the area, I recommend getting a membership or even just a day pass at Fitness Factory!

It is an old school gym with a cool vibe, but unfortunately, the equipment was lacking. I am fortunate to be able to go to an amazing gym in Las Vegas, and in comparison, there was no speciality equipment here that I am used to using. The leg equipment was basic, and the dumbbells made my hands smell weird. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back, but got everything that I needed to done.

The coaches and staff are incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely listen to your goals, and work with you to achieve them. Beyond the workouts, the community is what really makes Altus special.

Shoutout to Coach Aaron for always working with my travel schedule and adjusting my workouts to keep me progressing toward my goals. Highly recommend Altus to anyone looking for more than just a gym!

I don't feel intimidated trying out free weights amongst the guys who've clearly been working out for years. No snickers, stares or sneers from others. The kindness and common goal of better health and exercise makes for a supportive environment. So glad to have this place in my hood.

There is a garage attached which is convenient but a bit pricey depending on how long you'll be there.

The class has great structure and pushes you to push yourself. Definitely a good class for all levels, wether you're familiar with lifting or not. Kevin showed us all the moved before hand and how to properly perform them without hurting yourself, and watches to help correct your form during the workout if needed. The facility was beautiful and clean and honestly smelled SO good like essential oils, and you're given a cold towel at the end of class with essential oils. It feels AMAZING, especially at the end of the workout! Amazing place with tons of little details that really stand out and make the experience so much better

I thought this class would be a stretch for me since I'm not a runner whatsoever but I was pleasantly surprised. I did have to stand outside since no one was in the studio but I messaged the business on Instagram and they said someone was on the way. Kiera saved me from the Pittsburgh breeze and was so nice and welcoming. She walked me through all the equipment we would be using so I could feel comfortable. The gym also had lockers inside the bathrooms for each gender. The class was a mix of running/sprinting/jogging/walking and ski pulls, and weights. I feel the burn and I know I'm going to be sore for a few days. I also love the cold peppermint towel at the end. It's a nice touch. It was a great start to my day and I can't wait to be in Pittsburgh again to come back.

As someone who is socially awkward, I've talked to more people here than I have at any gym I've been to. It's a very chill environment and just feels like friends hanging out.

For the uninitiated, Club Pittsburgh is a private club for the queer community -- essentially a gay bathhouse, although they also have all gender nights, and trans and non binary folks are always welcome. The facilities include a gym, lockers, steam, sauna, showers, private rooms, two play areas, and a rooftop deck. I've always found the space to be clean, comfortable and well maintained. I like the energy here - the staff have a welcoming and respectful disposition. I appreciate the signage throughout emphasizing consent, and the fact that they have STI testing most nights of the week. And by welcome trans folks and having all gender nights, they are very much fostering a safe, progressive, and inclusive environment for the queer community.
