A year ago, I walked into Celli's and met the owner. After my first powerlifting competition, he…read moretold me, "If you ever want to take powerlifting seriously, train with me"--without even asking my numbers. Unsure if this is because I'm a woman or that's unrelated. Last week, I gave the gym another shot. I planned to do a drop-in, but the owner insisted I sign up. Since then, I've been repeatedly scolded for: - Taking phone calls, even with headphones. - Filming more than just my top set (which then ended up out of frame). - Filming accessories, despite needing to track an injury. - Having my tripod at a visible height, even though I ensure no one else is in frame. The worst was when I filmed myself alone in the bathroom mirror (fully clothed), stopped as soon as the owner's wife walked in, yet still got chewed out. That same day, the gym posted a rant calling social media lifters "fame-seekers" while selectively endorsing/ reposting others' Instagram posts. I left feeling anxious about getting yelled at again. None of these "rules" were communicated upfront--I was just reprimanded after the fact.

My only regret is that I only have 5 stars to give this review. Alpha Athletics is everything you…read morecould possibly want in a gym. The space is great, the equipment cared for, but it's the people that make it special. The instructors are great. They're knowledgeable, patient, and personable. They can help you work around any injury or mobility issue. The programming is tough, yet accessible and always changing. They're welcoming and accommodating no matter what your skill level. They are constantly adding more value and options for their members. They have a PT clinic moving in and cycle classes starting very soon. I know you might be asking, "but is Alpha for me?" Are you a 20 year old college kid whose never touched a barbell in your life? Alpha is for you. How about a 45 year old mother of 3 who wants to get back in shape? Alpha is for you. A 30 something former Globo Gym rat looking for a new challenge? Alpha is for you. Come when you're ready, they'll be there ready to help you reach your fitness goals. You won't regret it.

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.

This is review rating may not be for everyone…read more Amerifit is a gym where many serious body builders work out. This is an anti-Planet Fitness (there are no pizza days). This place is where private personal trainers take on clients who do not have an affiliation with Planet Fitness. You can pay $5 per day if you want to meet occasionally. What the casual person may see upon entering: You will hear lots of grunting and weights being dropped. Do not be intimidated. The folks (men and ladies) are doing this for competitions (usually). The place may seem run down (older weights / machines). Do not let this deceive you. The place may seem small. Again - do not let this deceive you. They have smaller rooms / areas. They do have classes upstairs that seem pretty intense (not my cup of tea). Why 4 Stars: 1. I followed my trainer (which means I chose my trainer at a location where we could work out). My previous trainers were great but I did not necessarily like the gym (too crowded or not enough room to work out). 2. Equipment variety. Example - Cardio Equipment. Usually when you go into a gym, you will have a treadmill, a stepper, a recumbent bike, bike, elliptical) - All one type. Amerifit provides a variety of machines such as Cybex. Cybex is your traditional elliptical but you can control the elevation as well. They also have machines that will simulate ice skating 3. Intensity - You do see people seriously working out. This can either motivate or intimidate you. It motivates me. I can also see folks doing exercises correctly. 4. The folks are nice. All the associates I have met are very nice. I apologize to the serious body builders for writing this review, but I think this is a very good secret to share. Find you a trainer, meet him/her at Amerifit, and workout. This is not a chain gym where everything is new with standard (usually leased) equipment.

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 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

Dan has created a great environment and plans fantastic workouts. Push 40 reminds me of a mix of multiple workouts that I've done, but I just loved the concept and it's all fit into 40 minutes. Dan fits in cardio, weights and ab work with the HIIT (20 seconds on, 20 seconds off) methodology. You rotate around the room from treads to weights to bikes to TRX for the majority of the class, and end with about 5 minutes of ab work. The equipment was unique and planet friendly too. Their treads are powered by your speed instead of plugging them into the wall. Dan and the coaches work with each individual to push it to your maximum at each station. Not only were the coaches great, but the people here were all so welcoming and helpful.

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.
