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.

I got a confirmation email of my booking which instructed me to be there 30 minutes early if so was a first timer. I was able to find parking relatively easily, was greeted by two very friendly staff members, and got all set up with my heart rate monitor. They have bathrooms available and lockers to store your belongings during class. The class instructor walked me through the days workout, showed me where all the equipment was, and ensured me that she would be nearby for any help during the workout. The class was exactly what I was looking for: fun and challenging. I left sweaty, but feeling accomplished. If I was looking for a full time workout studio, I would seriously be considering this location.

The Athletic Club is in the same space as the Mortland Physical Therapy office space. When I first…read morejoined I was a little confused b/c you see patients using some of the machines. I typically go at times when the Mortland offices are closed so I don't have that problem of running into patients or the staff of Mortland. The place is convenient, clean, and offers a variety of machines - ellipticals, treadmills, bikes, weight machines, free weights, exercise balls - they have it all for a cardio or strength training workout. The cost is a little pricey but it's in Peters so I guess you should expect that. It's $50/month with a minimum of a 6 month committment. So you have to pay $300 at the time of signing up plus a $25 deposit for the FOB key to enter at times when Mortland is closed. You may be able to get a 3 month committment b/c they offer that to college students - and then only pay $150 (plus $25 FOB deposit). Even with the price, it's the convenience that really got me. What's the point of joining a gym if it's not convenient?!?! This way I can't use the, "It's so far" excuse to get out of exercising...I use other ones but not that one :) The hours are 5AM - 10PM, 7 days a week.

Parking is street metered only, so give yourself a little extra time to find and pay for parking. We're looking forward to coming back next time we're in Pittsburgh.

I thought this class would be a stretch for me since I'm not a runner whatsoever but I was pleasantly surprised. I did have to stand outside since no one was in the studio but I messaged the business on Instagram and they said someone was on the way. Kiera saved me from the Pittsburgh breeze and was so nice and welcoming. She walked me through all the equipment we would be using so I could feel comfortable. The gym also had lockers inside the bathrooms for each gender. The class was a mix of running/sprinting/jogging/walking and ski pulls, and weights. I feel the burn and I know I'm going to be sore for a few days. I also love the cold peppermint towel at the end. It's a nice touch. It was a great start to my day and I can't wait to be in Pittsburgh again to come back.

After arrival, I noticed a class was in session, and it shares a wall with the contrast therapy room. The music shook the sauna panels and was too loud for me to even listen to my own music and/or read in peace. After about 15 mins, I left and asked for a refund/reschedule. I was told someone would be in contact. No one was, so I reached out myself, and was told no refunds since I used up a spot that someone else could have. Seems odd considering that the noise level was not communicated prior and part of a session is relaxation. I was offered a reschedule again after requesting a refund instead. Would not recommend giving your money to a place that is so careless with it. Thoughtless concept that is very clearly just an easy money grab.

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!

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.
