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 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.

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.

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.

MAN was I wrong, this workout is absolutely wonderful. Pushes you to the limit, but in a safe and controlled manor... The coaches Brian and Chris are respectful, knowledgable, funny, and down to earth people who seem to really value the goals of the clientele. The members are super forward and helpful in getting you started and motivating you through the workouts. The gym itself is clean. It has a room with storage areas tables and couches in the front, this is where you wait for class if you are real early or relax after. The main room is in the back and this is where workouts are conducted... Plenty of space and great equipment. Theres always a warm up and then an actual workout on the board. The class has categories based on experience. I am just a rookie because I am new to the discipline of exercise. Price is reasonable for what your are paying for (your strength, stamina, and health!) especially if you choose an unlimited plan... gives you flexibility and consistency. Also Class times are super convenient for me 5,6, and 7pm on weekdays so those are perfect for my schedule... I usually make the 6 o'clock class (except on Thursday @6 - Ladies Night) Helpful and motivating coaches, hard workouts, and friendly people make Crossfit Focus a great investment for your health and happiness. Took me only 2 workouts to sign up for 6 months. Highly Recommended. Will try to go everyday

The personalized attention I received while working out with a group of incredible athletes made me stay. I have improved my fitness levels, I've built lasting friendships with amazing people and my Coach (Bryan) is always there for me. He works with me on anything I need him to, from setting fitness goals to improving nutrition. You don't get the one size fits all treatment here-everything is catered to you. I have certain dietary restrictions that are usually frowned upon in an athletic atmosphere. Bryan not once has attempted to interfere with these restrictions, but has understood and we found a way to work around it. My goals have changed since I joined the gym, and Coach has worked with me through all of these transitions. He believes in me and everyone at the gym and gives everything he has to the gym and the members.
