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!

How about the basketball court on top of the roof with awesome views. It's early but overall impressed what they have available thus far. It will work out well with my work place.

My personal favorite part about the gym is the qualified, friendly staff/management and the floor to ceiling windows that view downtown on the second floor!!

I was looking for recommendations for a gym in the area and one suggestion kept repeatedly popping…read moreup: Exercise Warehouse. I was initially put off by the tough-guy, bro-ish image this gym tries to project in its advertising (also evident in many of the posters and signs on the walls here), which includes a sign calling using the hand railings on a treadmill "a sign of weakness", a PSA poster about how violent ex-cons are probably more fit than you are, and the lack of air conditioning this gym likes to brag about on its website. In spite of being put off by that type of messaging and optics, I eventually caved and got a membership here. Great place to go for a morning or evening workout. This is more of a weights gym than a cardio gym, but does include exercise bicycles and a small handful of treadmills. Staff are generally pleasant and sometimes make small talk with gym members. Vending machine distributing water and protein shakes available as well. In spite of the outward image, this is a solid neighborhood gym that will most likely meet your goals and needs.

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

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!

Great experience at LA Fitness!…read more The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated how attentive the team was. there was active cleaning happening while I was there, which made the space feel well cared for.

Super convenient location too! just a simple walk from the hotel through the skyway bridge, which made getting there quick and easy.

LA fitness is doing its best, but could use with a few shifts in how the staff encourages members…read moreto behave, and how the staff operates this location. I think it's fair to say that the majority of gym goers do not wipe their machines down before or after using any of the machines. It would probably help if there were more wipe stations and if they were regularly restocked. The last couple of times I went I had to cross the entire gym floor to find a wipe. One time there was a bottle of glass cleaner in lieu of cleaning spray. Add more wipe stations and ask members to clean their machines. I would hope this would help with the stench that lingers in the gym. It went away when they did the refresh a few months ago but it's back. Another addition would be to add more than only one water fountain to the entire gym. It would be nice too if it was an automatic machine that you didn't have to hold down a button. I appreciate the amount of machines that are available and that the prices stay low. Overall it's a gym and it gets the job done. The women's locker room is always clean and tidy which is another bonus.
