If you're looking for coaches for who genuinely care and want to see their clients do and feel well, this is the place! 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! read more

Panthro is in a class of its own. Offering bootcamp-style classes 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. read more

I often get bored with my workouts. I need to try something new to keep me interested. I have been going to various fitness classes around the city that keep me interested for a little bit, then lose me once it becomes monotonous. I decided to try Panthro Fitness after seeing an online deal- 10 semi private lessons for $125. I thought "wow! What a deal." I scheduled an appointment with Reggie and went in. I got the lay of the land, how things work, and even a nutrition guide. One thing I thought was odd was the large pile of shoes in the front lobby. They ask that you not wear your street shoes while training to avoid tracking in gross street crud into the gym. I can appreciate that... but also perhaps some cubbies in the front lobby would work well. Anyways, I digress. I went to my first semi-private session with Rosie. She was great- just like someone with the name Rosie should be... cheerful, happy and encouraging. The semi-private lessons have about 4 people in the class. You partner up with another person and go through a series of pre/planned exercised. The trainer monitors and makes sure your form is good. She definitely kicked my butt, yet I am going back for more. I encourage anyone looking to switch up their fitness routine to check out this place. read more

Panthro Fitness - Entrance to the lobby - Boot Camps Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great no nonsense workout! Chris helps you set stretch but achievable goals. Great support! Excellent location with free parking right next to the building. read more

I've been a member since about February of this year. It's the best decision I've ever made. All of the trainers are great. They really take the time to come up with detailed workout plans taking into consideration the individual goals and limitations of their members. Trust me when I say you will never get bored. The workouts are challenging and constantly evolving. Since coming here I've gotten into the best shape of my life. read more

OK, so a quick update, after posting this review Reggie ( the owner) added a comment everyone can see below my original post. After reading the comment, I PM'ed him the dates that I took classes, and he back tracked that to my profile and phone number. He was very apologetic and expressed concern about my overall experience. This alone makes me feel better about what happened. I was feeling like no one cared, but with his quick response and direct reply (he called me) made me realize that there were probably technical errors involved. Overall, I still really liked the classes I took with Rosie, and didn't really like the classes with Craig. I wish there was more availability, but good on them for being busy. I think what I have learned here is that if you are unhappy with the service you receive, say something!!! Because Reggie really does seem genuinely invested in customer support and satisfaction. I have not taken another class, so I am adding a star for customer service, and will update again if I decide to take additional classes. Reggie, thank you for caring and reaching out to me! read more

This is the best facility in Pittsburgh. I took the boot camp three days a week. I was so pleased with my results. The trainers are educated. If you need to lose weight, tone up, or learn better eating skills dont waste your time on other products or "coaches", get you butt here. read more

My wife and I recently moved to Pittsburgh and quickly found a home with Reggie, Craig and Rosie at Panthro in The Strip. We are "semi-private" clients and have enjoyed all aspects of what Panthro has to offer from "boot-camp" style classes, small semi-private sessions (1-4 people) and even boxing. The classes are always interesting and challenging while still being fun. I've done "Cross Fit" and I've had trainers in the past but the focused guidance at Panthro is top notch. With a range of client types, the coaches all motivate without making one feel incapable. Many clients (myself included) are working back from or with injuries and they can tailor a plan to help you personally work through it. They are always positive, while pushing you to succeed and do your best. As someone who struggles with diet, they've helped me turn around my eating habits and get me back on track. I would highly recommend Panthro if you're looking to get in shape, get your diet back on track and or just want to stay in shape while having fun. read more

Panthro is both challenging and fun, informal and disciplined. Great though compact facility. Terrific leaders...really terrific people. I walk in anxious and walk out used up and happy every time. read more

You can't help but feel good about this place and about yourself when you are at Panthro. I've been going to Panthro for several years now and feel like they've hit the coaching trifecta in Rosie, Chris, and Casey. They are all incredibly knowledgeable about fitness - and I don't just mean giving you exercises to do. They know about body mechanics, how to work specific areas effectively (good form is a cornerstone here, which is key to avoiding injury as well as seeing results), and are motivating as hell without being annoying. The workouts are well-thought out, well-structured, and still able to be modified as needed for any limitations you might have. (Oh, and they're fun...I mean, even though you're working your butt off!) It doesn't matter how old you are or what your fitness level is, there's something here for you. It's nice to work out at a place where you feel seen, and where the coaches and members genuinely want you to succeed. If you're not getting that from your current workout spot, give Panthro a try! read more

Wonderful place for boothcamps! Great and supportive environment. I enjoyed working out here very much. You do different good exercises everyday you go in. All trainers are professional. They have good knowledge about workouts and forms. They pay attention to you so, you do them correctly without hurting yourself, especially for those who have had injuries before. I had sessions with Reggie, Jessica, Patrick, and Rosie.. mostly Rosie. They are all great and Rosie is awesome!! Thanks so much. read more

I've only been going here a couple of weeks but I can tell that I'll be a long termer. I've had 6 semi-private sessions and they've all been great. The exercises are unique and they change them up to keep you from getting bored. The trainers are fantastic. I have a problem with my right knee and they've done a great job of making sure I don't hurt my knee while at the same time ensuring that I still get a good workout. It's not just the trainers though, the other members I've been working out with have also been great. The place just has a good enthusiastic feel without being over the top with fake enthusiasm. Also there's just enough fun competition to help keep you motivated. In all of the sessions I've been in, when they were over, it didn't feel like I'd been there an hour at all. They went by fast. So, no drudgery. This place was a great find for me. read more

Took my first class here today and it totally kicked my ass. I'm a Spinning instructor, teaching 3-6 classes each week, and needed to switch up my workouts a little. I highly recommend the boot camp, great 45-minute workout. read more

This place is the best!!! Nothing fancy GREAT coaches and Staff!!! Reggie is the owner he is sooo. very helpful. I just started... bought a package of 10 semi private classes. I have worked with Reggie, Rosie and Mindy so far. Every class is different and challenging but they help with modifications and push you to your max. I feel great and looking forward to seeing my results. As a bonus they also have a physical therapist on site. This is awesome because you can talk to Mike, to make sure you don't get hurt through your program. Truly Reggie has thought of everything!! This staff REALLY does care about you, It doesn't matter what your level is, hard core or just a beginner like me. read more

Best group fitness studio in the city! If you're looking to get into shape and have fun doing it; Panthro is the place for you! They offer semi-private workouts and boxing as well as boot camp workouts. The coaches are awesome, and there are never more than 12 people in a class, so you always receive the attention you need to ensure you're completing the exercise using proper form. Panthro even offers free nutrition counseling and you have the option to purchase healthy meals! read more

I love Panthro Fitness! they helped me lose 26 pounds and keep it off. Pretty much the best nutrition advice you will ever get. Also, the workouts are tough but fun read more

Panthro Fitness is the best, and I genuinely mean that! This is the first time ever I actually look forward to working out. Their boot camp classes are intense but incredibly worth the burn! The atmosphere is great and the people are great. Rosie, Craig, and Reggie are amazing coaches who motivate you to do your best, seriously! The best part- it all pays off!! read more

I just started working out here after buying the Groupon and it is amazing! I had never done any kind of weight training so I was nervous to try it but so glad I did! The staff is so nice and very accommodating to teaching you and modifying workouts if needed. The workouts themselves change everyday so it's always a new challenge and never gets boring. It is not an intimidating environment at all and the rest of the clients are great at welcoming and encouraging. I feel like I finally found a great place that gives me the motivation to keep up with my workouts. read more

I love Panthro Fitness. Womens' Boot Camp and specifically my wonderful trainer, Vashon. He has taught me not only how to train, but also how to manage the arthritis in my lower back. I found that I am capable of much more than I believed, I know what I can do and what I should modify, and I know how to stretch out properly. I am WAAAY stronger now and my back hasn't bothered me in eons. read more

I just moved to the area and joined Panthro about a month ago and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The trainers are awesome and the workouts are different everyday. The staff is also very organized and encouraging when it comes to your goals and progress. The facility is clean, parking is always available, and the people are friendly! Panthro makes it easy to get out of bed and go workout early in the morning because I love going so much! Highly recommended read more

Absolutely loved it. Ryan is the best. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, if you aren't into fitness you will be after one work out with this guy. You will be sore and see results very fast. I give it five star!! read more

I think the coaches and the workouts are totally excellent and individually focused to ones needs and desires. I was extremely impressed with overall process, and the people involved. read more

Love the team at Panthro. They always get the best out of you and make sure every workout counts! Plus, always great diet/nutrition tips.

I love the workouts that I get at boot camp! You never get bored because you are always doing a new work out. The results are amazing. The trainers are so knowledgable about fitness and nutrition. If you follow the plan you will see absolutely incredible results. I have been going to boot camp for over 2 years and I am addicted. I find myself being grumpy if I miss or skip a session. The coaches adjust the work out for each client as needed. The ladies who work out with you become a great support system and can relate to one another. They will also give you that extra encouragement to push harder. I can't imagine life without Panthro Fitness!!! read more

What did I do before bootcamp at Panthro Fitness? Just like many other women, I was spending endless hours running and seeing little results. All of the coaches at Panthro have changed my life - they bring so much knowledge, creativity, motivation and excitement into working out. They make it fun! I have been attending bootcamp 3 days a week for 9 months and haven't done the same workout twice. Physically - the results that you get from Panthro's bootcamp are second to none! They get to know you and your lifestyle so that they can create a nutrition plan that works for you. As you progress through the program, your nutrition program is adjusted along with your fitness level. Small habits are changed little by little and before you know it - you have a new lifestyle! Panthro's program is not a diet or a fitness fad - they truly give you the tools you need to live the life you have always wanted to live! read more
