My sister started doing CrossFit in North Carolina, and I had the chance to try it a few times there. And then, I began to see the strength she was gaining from attending 3x/week. I wanted in. I checked around for CrossFit gyms near me, and I creeped on CrossFit South Hills on Instagram for months before finally signing up for the On-Ramp intro session. The On-Ramp one-on-one coaching sessions work on technique and gym terminology and are so helpful. Originally, I signed up for 6 months. I've now been attending CFSH for over 3 years, and I love how strong I am. I also love that I can just show up, and there's a workout already prepared for me. The CFSH community is also great because everyone takes the time to cheer for one another. Coaches are also accommodating for injuries, offering modifications and other options if you can't do a movement. This helps to make sure that you can continue to grow stronger while healing. The gym might be hard to find at first since it's tucked away off the train tracks with a bunch of other warehouses. There's plenty of parking. Inside the gym, there are cubbyholes for your stuff and a child play area if you have kids. Pro Tip: Bring water and clothing you're okay getting a bit dirty

I moved out of Pittsburgh in July and was trying to find a CrossFit gym that was within a…read morereasonable distance to Monongahela. I found this gym that was in Finleyville. I thought it was great because it was only about a 15 minute drive from me. I wanted to start doing classes as soon as possible I was in contact with this gym in August and my contract started in September. I signed up for a six month contract which was 130 dollars for only three classes. The other CrossFit gym I attended was 130 for unlimited classes. So I already was on the fence about this gym with it being so much more expensive. I joined anyways since it was close to me. So I was only allowed 3 classes a week and if I signed up for the class and didn't go it counted as one of my classes but you had to cancel more than a hour before the class if you had to cancel or you were locked in. Which I understand that there are only so many spots in the classes but I rarely saw the classes filled. They didn't have many class times that I was personally able to make it to. My old gym had classes and open gym at noon which was nice for people who worked odd shifts like me. This gym didn't open at those time the last class is at 9am then the next class is at 430 pm or something along those lines. By the end of my contract I was under the impression that my classes ended in January since I did take classes in August so I did not attend any classes in February. They didn't charge me until September which was my own misunderstanding and I am not holding them accountable for it but I did not attend any classes thinking my contract was over which sucks on my end. They also charged me for March which they shouldn't of and I contacted the owner and she refunded me and I brought up that I didn't attend any classes in February not knowing I was still a member and it was basically a loss for me and a gain for them. Then the owner asked if I wanted to continue going to their gym. There was no customer service involved in the discussion between me and the owner I do not want to stay at a gym or with a business that is charging cards after their contracts are over. Also the other gym I went to had a military discount and a student discount this one does not. There is not many options for class times and there is no customer service involved in they way their business is run. They don't have enough equipment for the classes there were multiple times when my cousin and I would be scrambling to get a wall ball that was a certain weight since they only had two that weight. The classes themselves weren't as weightlifting focused as other CrossFit gyms I went to sometimes I felt like I didn't really get much of a workout in at their classes. I am giving this gym three stars because of all of the above I am not giving them three stars for me not going to classes in February (that was my fault) but I do feel as though it could of been handled in a different way and I may of continued going to classes at this gym for the simple fact it's close to me if there was any amounting decent customer service given to me when I contacted the owner.

I have never liked 'working out'. I hate 'gyms' and am not a self motivator when it comes to…read moreworking out. I need to participate in an actual activity like tennis, hiking, running, etc. When I lived in NYC I decided to get serious about my fitness routine and started working with a trainer (Radu Fitness). THAT changed my outlook on 'working out'. I loved my trainer and she kicked by 'behind' 4 days a week. Once we moved to Pittsburgh, I was extremely disappointed with the work out scene ... the gyms (joined The Rivers Club, LA Fitness, JCC, etc.) didn't work for me and the trainer selection was very poor. A mere 4 months ago I stumbled upon The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. While I continued to be fit through running and outdoor activities, my herniated disc was limiting my enjoyment and frequency. My Neurosurgeon said that I had to develop my core while not straining my back. He suggested that I try Pilates. Not knowing anything about Pilates, I made an appointment with at the Center and met Lesley. I have to admit that at first, it was a little intimidating and a bit complicated and I felt a bit awkward in the movements. Sometimes I thought that I was never going to 'get it'. During those first few weeks I never ONCE felt embarrassed or uncomfortable. With kind and generous trainers I became hooked! I have never had a weight problem .... but as I reached my 40's I was definitely becoming 'soft' all over. Four months later I feel strong and according to my friends, co-workers and husband, look better than ever!!! In addition to all of that good stuff my back feels so much better and my running has greatly improved. Pre-Pilates I would run 3 miles and walk like an old lady for the remainder of the afternoon or be stiff and sore the next morning. Three months into Pilates I decided to take a short run. Low and behold, my Nike Fuel band was telling me that I ran a 5K. I felt awesome ... so awesome that I ran an additional 5K!! If you are looking to zone out on the treadmill .... Pilates is not for you. If you are not serious about changing your body posture and composition...... Pilates is not for you. If you do not enjoy understanding your body and how it really moves ..... Pilates is not for you. If any of the aforementioned sounds intriguing, then give Pilates a try. I highly recommend The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. Lesley and her wonderful trainers (Allie, Erin, Michelle, Cecile) are bright, focused, kind and skilled. Each has their own unique style but the consistency of the technique is quite impressive. Good luck!!

When I began taking lessons at the Pilates Center of Pittsburgh, my exposure to Pilates had been…read moreminimal, just some workout dvds. This was my first lesson in a formal setting with an expert and it made a huge difference in what I was able to get out of the workout. I studied mostly with Leslie, who is a true expert at precision. Leslie is great at communicating Pilates concepts in several different ways, so that you can connect with an explanation that resonates with you. That said, the other instructors are great too. Leslie is very selective about who she hires, you won't find instructors here that don't know what they are doing. I took a couple of classes with Sally and would highly recommend her as an instructor. She is extremely kind and bubbly, but don't let her fool you - she will work you! At the Pilates Center, it is required for you to go through a series of intro sessions before joining a class. Having done it, I think that this is so smart. The intro sessions are well-priced, they give you one-on-one time with the instructors to focus on your specific needs and really ensure that you are joining a class when you are ready (a great way to prevent injuries). The environment is very casual, calm and relaxed. This isn't one of those snobby or pretentious places...which is a major selling point for me. Don't think you have to be a fit and tiny ballerina to fit in here, there are students of all ages and skill levels. Most of all, I love how Pilates makes me feel strong, open and energized. It's a great way to start your day if you can swing a morning session.
