I started at PKB on a whim via a living social deal soon after they opened. Little did I know I…read morewould be a member there for over a year. The members and number of trainers have grown immensely from when I started but the customer service is still the same. Everyone from the owners to the trainers to the members are great.... Down to earth, encouraging, etc. These are group workouts that push you but everyone does it at their own level so it works. I unfortunately had to leave the gym due to factors beyond my control but after I get resituated and back on a regular schedule I will be calling Gina to reinstate me at PKB. Not sure what I miss more, the workouts or the people/trainers/owners.

I have been here several times. Like everyone, 2018 is about new goals. I have changed up my…read morework out routine from traditional weight lifting to Pittsburgh Kettlebell and Performance. There is nothing wrong with traditional weight lifting. I just fell in a rut and did the same exercises at the same times during the week. PKP really mixes it up. I have been to 4 classes and exposed to 3 different instructors. The workouts are different and more circuit consistency. The participants are super helpful for newbs like me. The trainers are very conscientious to ensure you do not hurt yourself. They make sure your form is on point and urge you to use lighter weights. The classes are well organized (usually split into groups and the groups are doing different exercises). Overall - it is a high recommend. I am still not able to do everything the veterans do, but I am getting better each day. Tip - I learned from a veteran - wear sandles / flip flops and put your shoes on once you are inside. The entire floor is matted so they ask you not to have a different pair for inside so you do not track water, salt, dirt, etc... Overall: Atmosphere - Fun, Busy, the hour goes fast Cost - surprisingly very affordable. This would be ideal to augment a gym. Cheaper than a personal trainer and you get huge benefits Routines - very different - I don't think I have done the same thing once in the past 2 weeks of going.

I do like the machines better here and the tanning beds, but at times they don't work properly. Or maybe it's staff error? I had to get dressed and come out and tell them My tanning bed didn't come on. Also, I asked for the full time( 9 minutes )and I only got 4 the other day. People hog the machines for too long. People are on their phones while holding up the machines for 20 minutes or more at times. Also couples and friends working out at the same machine really irritate me. Hydro massage lounges are hit or miss. Some don't work properly. Get these issues fixed please.

Update: I started…read moregoing to this one more frequently as it has a smaller crowd than Crafton. I've seen much improvement! This morning, the employee was wiping machines down the entire time I was there. I've noticed hand sanitizer bottles at almost every cleaning station. They've initiated some pretty noticeable changes, at least since my last review, and I can see that they're taking more care in disinfecting the place, which I'm very happy to see! I've also become accustomed to the layout difference from the other location I visit, and I'm starting to prefer it honestly. I think this location may be my new first choice!

They focus on three workout styles, cardio, strength and high intense interval training.  Their classes- "Catch These Hands" designed to work on endurance and cardiovascular conditioning, "Strong is Hot!" programmed to build and improve muscle composition and "All that & a Bag of Nuts" focused on high intensity interval training to improve heart rate recovery and advance fitness levels.  The owner is a super sweet woman who had a dream and is making it happen!  I love the concept and really enjoyed my work out!

Teleo Performance opened about 6 months ago in the same building that houses Charise's salon and a…read moreState Farm agent. It is located on Paxton Drive across from the Walmart/Giant Eagle shopping center in Bethel Park. I made an apt to tour the facility and meet with the owner whose name is John. He explained to me that Teleo goes above and beyond what you would normally find in personal training be that a gym or fitness center. While some exercise machines are electronically operated the ones they use are all manual and state of the art. Some of the highest grades are used there. I was impressed with the "curved" treadmill he showed me. He explained that this is a type of treadmill you would find in a professional sports training facility. The equipment would take getting used to but I can see it doable if you are willing to change from the traditional strength machines. Free weights, kettle-bells, balance balls, and your traditional freestyle equipment are also there. Everything is spaced out so you have room to move about and very neatly organized. I also learned that they plan to update their heating and cooling system in the building. In the back area there is a baseball practice that is sectioned off if you wish to test your strength at either pitching or batting. The focus John told me was this is primarily a strength only facility but a program can be tailor made to suit your needs. I was surprised to learn that their facilities are not limited to able bodied individuals. People with physical challenges, surgical history, older adults, and those with exercise limitations can also train here. I felt intimated as to how that could work but he showed me a basic exercise they use that wouldn't be overly challenging yet still accomplish the goal of building strength where it is needed. I learned that he employs top notch trainers who have Master's degrees and certifications in different strength areas. Pricing depends upon whom you choose to train with and each trainer has the freedom to set what they feel is reasonable. Everything is done by apt only and the frequency is agreed upon between you and the person you decide to train with. I was not given any prices but after looking over everything I can see that this is indeed a costly investment. He gave me his card if I wanted to contact him with any other questions or meet with one of his trainers. Personal training is always costly but it appears to be a place where you can train well and get good results.

On a scale of cotton candy to Brussels sprouts, CrossFit South Hills is a slow-cooked beef brisket…read more This type of deliciousness requires time and investment, but the payoff in flavor is 100% worth it. 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.
