An awesome workout for a person of any fitness level! I wanted to work out while on vacation (yep- I'm that person) and I found out about Mecka from a fitness website advertising up and coming gyms in big cities. I used the introductory offer for two classes for $20 and did the body lab class both times. It is a bit like Orange Theory-- intervals of treadmill(jogging, running, and sprint pace) along with floor work which includes various moves to help build strength and this cool bike/rower thing to help keep that HR up(blanking on the name). This gym has very friendly staff, beautiful design, great music playlists, and a workout that will kick your butt! The work out is what YOU make it-- an important part of group fitness. Yes, the trainers are there to help push and motivate you to go the extra rep, to get that higher speed, but ultimately- it's you against you. In my first class, I had members who introduced themselves and really helped me to not be so confused with all the changing intervals. Everyone is very friendly and work as a team to help motivate each other. The gym is very clean, and gives small hand towels because trust me, you're gonna sweat. They do have showers and locker rooms as well. Parking is limited but there is street parking as well. Overall, a really great experience and loved burning it out! read more

Mecka = Life. Okay, that might sound a bit frightening, I see how I may have scared you off, but hear me out... I started going to Mecka for the BodyLab classes (Abs, Full Body, Butt and Legs) about 6 months ago. Never have I experienced a workout class that was so challenging, yet so engaging. The thing that I really love about the BodyLab classes is the fact that they are fast-moving and always changing. Generally, the class is completed in small chunks (9 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, etc) that alternate between treadmills and the floor. Floor workouts can consist of anything from the classic push-ups and crunches to using an erg to row. Because the exercises vary so much, and you only complete an exercise for a short burst of time, you don't even notice the time going by, but by the end of the class you're panting for breath and sometimes can't walk -- in the best way! While these classes may sound like they are only for the most advanced athlete, they actually work for any and all fitness levels. Because you control the weights you grab, the speed of your treadmill, as well as the modifications that you choose to utilize, the class is customizable to meet you where you are and help you improve steadily. And thus I conclude, Mecka = Life. Also, go to all of Nikki's classes; she rules! read more

Mecka Fitness is my new favorite gym! Since I don't live super close, so I came to Mecka through ClassPass. I wish I lived closer to join full time. I have came to this location and the location in the strip and it's always a great class. I have done BodyLab and Rowfit. BodyLab is an AMAZING class! I feel so accomplished once I leave. Their smoothies and bowls are a perfect way to end the class and you can order before class to have it ready. I've taken Cody and Amanda's class and they have both been WONDERFUL! Good and motivating vibes! Highly recommend! read more

Great variety of classes, knowledgeable and friendly instructors (I've taken with Kevin, Mike, and Carrie - all were amazing), clothing boutique and smoothie bar. Mecka seriously has it all! They've built an incredible community. I always get my butt kicked in the Boot Camp classes in the best way read more

No, went in to look at their clothing gear and this place is only for certain people who have money, who are already thin but want to stay that way. Not very friendly. read more

Great spin class with live competition against others in the class - very Swerve like if you've ever visited there in NYC. Screen displays live rpm, HR, and power - pushes folks to chase you and you to keep them at bay. They use SPD clip-ins/cleats which was a bummer as I use Look Keo, next time I'll swap the right cleats in as the Giros they provide have soft soles. read more

Tried my first class- Bodylab with Danielle- today and was very impressed! The gym is clean and the staff is friendly and very accommodating. The class was challenging but is doable for any fitness level. Danielle was great! She explained things throughly and was very motivating and played great music. Can't wait to go back, would highly recommend! read more

Great facility in Mt. Lebanon, located right next to Crossfit Mt. Lebanon. It's a huge space that offers bootcamp, spinning, rowing, and yoga. While I haven't been fortunate to try all types of classes, I can say that the spin classes are both challenging and fun. Two things that make this studio stand out from others I've tried: 1. Online registration for classes that includes selecting your bike. You have no idea what a perk this is...to know you don't have to race to the gym in hopes of getting your "favorite bike" or getting stuck in the front row when that is the last place you want to be! The second thing that makes this studio stand out is the combination of the virtual rides with an instructor to "coach" through the course. The result is the perfect combination of individual racing plus a little hidden competition. The classes are 45 minutes and a great high calorie burn. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the bathroom is ridiculously small and I only saw one shower. I promise to update this if I am incorrect because I really want to give Mecka 5 stars. But when I tell you the lobby and lounge area is enormous it is an understatement. There is so much space that is underutilized it's a shame they didn't design a larger bathroom. I would be tempted to hustle to an early am workout if I had any confidence that i could use that shower and get to work in time, but with only one, I could never chance it. The only other thing is parking. But if you know anything about the South Hills of Pittsburgh you know you can't say those words without also mentioning some sort of traffic nightmare...and in this case, really really tough parking. Plan ahead...you may not need to arrive early to snag a spin bike, but with only six off street parking spots, and restrictions around street parking...if you have even the slightest road rage, this might make you crazy. It's ok...find the spot, then take yoga...it'll help you find your zen again ;) read more

See all

Life changing. Completely non-judgmental place. The focus is on the journey. It's all about community and supporting one another.

I love the body lab class at Mecka. I have been going 3x a week since February and I have never stuck to a workout that routinely before. I look forward to the classes and know all of the trainers will have a good playlist ready to push me through. The instructors are all very encouraging and even on my first day I never felt like I didn't belong - its a great class that lets you modify each workout to your abilities and I have definitely seen a lot of improvement in myself. I would highly recommend this class - and in fact four of my other friends and I are all now members so its even more fun to go! read more

I love Mecka! Classes are great. I am a triathlete so it is nice to get a full body muscle/HIIT workout in when I don't have time to lift during triathlon season. I also love getting a quick 10-12 miles in during a spinning class -- not having to hit the road on a weeknight is always a training perk. My only wish/suggestion: add classes at a time in the mornings between ridiculously early and too late. There are plenty of options at 5:30-5:45, but nothing between then and 9:30AM. I would attend a 6:30 or 7/7:30 class everyday because I don't need to head into the office until 9, as do a lot of people. I think it'd be a great time slot. read more

I really enjoyed the boot camp classes! The parking is awful and the prices are expensive, but I have to say the classes are great

My heart has changed toward this gym. I really enjoy the body lab and boot camp classes. April J has been super helpful, and she is a fabulous, motivating instructor. read more

Body lab is the best. Great all around work out that combines a treadmill and other fun stuff. Which may or may not include rowers, assault bike, squats, sit ups, kettle bells, ball slams. Every Time you walk in you never know what's gonna be thrown at you. Except treadmill, always some running read more

Mecka has motivational and approachable teachers that run classes that are truly enjoyable to join. You definitely get a great workout here. The space is comfortable and inviting, and it's lovely to be greeted by friendly and kind people while working off stress after a long day at work. Attending classes leads you to look forward to the atmosphere and the people, and each workout can be really great as you work to follow the instructors. This studio is really non-judgemental, encouraging, supportive, and a great place. read more
