Pittsburgh FIT is such a welcoming environment for people at any skill level. I decided to join a…read more6-week challenge because I needed an extra kick in the butt to get motivated after some weight gain. I've since joined as a member. There's a variety of class times to choose from, from early in the morning to late into the evening. The 9:30 a.m. class is my normal class. The workouts are always a fun challenge and there's always different. They combine cardio, weight training and body resistance exercises, and everything wraps up within an hour. Trainers always go over all of the movements, usually with pep and a smile, and will correct you to ensure you have the best form. In the past, I've been a part of big box gyms where you lift and use machines at will. While they're cheap, I made excuses not to go because it was always the same motions. But Pittsburgh FIT has challenged me athletically for the first time in years. There's always the push of trying a little more if you can, but adjusting any movements so things are best for you, too. I love weight lifting, so I usually go heavier for those parts of the workouts, but I have a jenky ankle after a bad sprain last year, so I opt out of box jumps and things that are tough on those joints for something a little less straining. All in all, it's a great place where everyone there wants to see you succeed. Showing up is the first step.

I never thought I could love a gym, but Tedesco has made me love and even look forward to looking…read moreout. For months I saw the Facebook posts for Tedesco but was afraid to try it. Gyms can be intimidating and full of body shame if you don't fit a certain standard. Tedesco is none of those things. The first time I walked in for a 5 am boot camp class I was greeted with enthusiasm. It has been over ten years since I've done anything like it, so I was nervous and also realistic about my abilities. The coach demonstrated every activity and also worked with me through modifications where I needed them. What was also refreshing was seeing all sorts of body types in the class. This is definitely a place that welcomes and embraces everyone who walks in the door. They offer fitness boot camp, kickboxing and strength boot camp classes along with open gym time. I've attended all of them and really enjoyed every one. What's great is that they are something different every day. Each day focuses on a different muscle but the order and which activity changes. They also regularly host challenges with different themes. For example, I'm currently in the "Little Black Dress" challenge where in addition to the workouts, we get meal plans and nutrition consults. You can also just come to the gym to do your own workout. I never thought I'd be someone who looked forward to 5 am workouts, but Tedesco converted me. This place is amazing, so if you are out east and looking for a gym, definitely check them out. You won't regret it.

I started at PKB on a whim via a living social deal soon after they opened. Little did I know I…read morewould be a member there for over a year. The members and number of trainers have grown immensely from when I started but the customer service is still the same. Everyone from the owners to the trainers to the members are great.... Down to earth, encouraging, etc. These are group workouts that push you but everyone does it at their own level so it works. I unfortunately had to leave the gym due to factors beyond my control but after I get resituated and back on a regular schedule I will be calling Gina to reinstate me at PKB. Not sure what I miss more, the workouts or the people/trainers/owners.

I have been here several times. Like everyone, 2018 is about new goals. I have changed up my…read morework out routine from traditional weight lifting to Pittsburgh Kettlebell and Performance. There is nothing wrong with traditional weight lifting. I just fell in a rut and did the same exercises at the same times during the week. PKP really mixes it up. I have been to 4 classes and exposed to 3 different instructors. The workouts are different and more circuit consistency. The participants are super helpful for newbs like me. The trainers are very conscientious to ensure you do not hurt yourself. They make sure your form is on point and urge you to use lighter weights. The classes are well organized (usually split into groups and the groups are doing different exercises). Overall - it is a high recommend. I am still not able to do everything the veterans do, but I am getting better each day. Tip - I learned from a veteran - wear sandles / flip flops and put your shoes on once you are inside. The entire floor is matted so they ask you not to have a different pair for inside so you do not track water, salt, dirt, etc... Overall: Atmosphere - Fun, Busy, the hour goes fast Cost - surprisingly very affordable. This would be ideal to augment a gym. Cheaper than a personal trainer and you get huge benefits Routines - very different - I don't think I have done the same thing once in the past 2 weeks of going.

I moved to Pittsburgh a few months ago and wanted to find a local gym. I've lived in MANY cities…read moreand been a member at MANY gyms, so I know what I want and need. As I researched nearby gyms prior to my move, Altus stood out - they had great reviews online and their philosophy/program offering seemed to align with what I was seeking. John was very responsive to my initial inquiry and after I got settled, I went to meet him for an initial consult. Our conversation gave me full confidence this was the place for me. I love strength training, so I wanted to work with a trainer to get me back into the routine of lifting weights, but I need flexibility - I travel frequently for work and often have to book trips last minute. During our conversation, we talked through everything - my history with strength training, my work and travel schedule, nutrition, injuries, goals, expectations, budget --- it was the most thorough consult I've had with any gym. I also had a preliminary session to determine my baseline (strength, range of motion, etc.) and get all the data measurements, which we use and remeasure to track my progress over time. Now that I've been going to Altus for a few months, I can genuinely say the entire experience - and Altus team - have been amazing. I immediately felt welcome and I appreciate the trainers so much. I've been working with Aaron for my individual sessions and squad sessions and it's been great. He's truly a 'coach' in that we're always talking through each set (about my form, the muscle groups we're focused on, how I'm feeling after each set, why we're doing certain things, etc.) -- it's educational, engaging, and fun. And he's always flexible with my crazy work schedule - accommodating changes when I have to go out of town, providing workouts through the mobile app that I can do virtually when I'm gone, squeezing in sessions when nothing about my availability is 'normal', and checking in regularly between sessions to see how I'm doing. I've also joined several classes and they're always fun - Heather, Cheri, Brandi --they'll kick your butt, but you'll love every minute of it. :) the Versa climber was a new piece of equipment for me --- it's killer but awesome! If you're looking for a gym that will focus on what you need and trainers who will champion you every step of the way to reaching your goals --- head over to Altus. They're the best!

I was surprised to find Altus in downtown Pittsburgh, located between a couple of fast food…read morerestaurants. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it completely exceeded my expectations! I signed up for a Versa climber 45 minute class (FYI - you can sign up for your first class for free). When I walked up the steps of the studio, I was blown away by the entire gym setup, in addition to the classrooms. They truly have something for everyone! When I signed in for class, I was given a heart monitor to track my workout and taken back to the climber room. The instructor, Cody, was so welcoming and full of energy! I was a little worried since this was my first time taking this type of class, and he made me feel so comfortable and continued to motivate us throughout the entire 45 minutes of class. This workout was HARD, but I felt so good after and would definitely come back to Altus to check out their other options in the future
