From the minute I walked into the gym I felt so welcomed. I was introduced to several trainers who explained the classes and training and worked with me on my goals. I'm already a runner but need strength training and that's what I got! I would go to the Q:30 class twice a week and then the training to other days. I joined for another month since I had the time off. In the seven weeks that I've been there I have lost weight and body fat while definitely gaining muscle mass and I'm thrilled with the results. Again, the trainers have been fantastic. Thanks so much to Anthony, Matt, Kate, Dylan and Aaron for all your help and making working out fun!

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!

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.

The instructor I had was not a trained professional (in my opinion) - there was no guidance on correct/incorrect technique during the class. Additionally, the class did not have a set plan and seemed unplanned/unorganized. I rated this a 2 because the class was mainly a chat session for the ladies enrolled, I was unhappy with the fact that it seemed more about complaining/gossiping then focusing on fitness and proper technique to avoid injury. While they were friendly, I have a short amount of time to exercise and I don't want to stand around and chat. The studio area is clean and well lit. The one bathroom provided is poor quality and cluttered with stuff, it is the only place to change. You cannot work out here outside of scheduled class times.
