This gym is undeniably convenient, especially with the on-site childcare, and the staff themselves…read moreare consistently kind and helpful. That said, there are a few issues that genuinely detract from the experience. First, the dress code. I was asked to get off a treadmill mid-workout because my midriff was showing. I wasn't aware this was against the rules. I wear standard gym attire and don't typically comb through fine-print dress codes, so being stopped in the middle of a workout felt unnecessary and frankly frustrating. I disagree with this policy and think it's worth reconsidering. Second, the app is extremely inefficient. To check children into childcare, you're required to sign out and back into the app, which is inconvenient on its own. Combined with the fact that there's little to no cell service in the building, it becomes a real hassle rather than a helpful tool. Lastly, the amenities are unreliable. The hot tub and sauna are frequently out of service due to maintenance. At this point, it feels more like the expectation than the exception. Overall, the gym has strong potential and some real positives, but these policies and operational issues make it difficult to fully enjoy or justify.

I used to be a member of this same facility under a different management (Healthtrax), but they…read moreclosed the business, and stripped everything from the building, so I never thought I would ever enter it again. Fast forward to 2020 . . . rumours about a private investment group of former Healthtrax members purchasing the club, remodeling it, and re-opening (During COVID19 times too (Opening a health club during a pandemic = BALLSY)). I waited a while before coming back (after getting vaccinated), but as soon as I walked into the door . . . I felt like being at home . . . the place is better than I remember it (and cleaner). I enjoy the pool, racquetball court, and gym. Everything is brand new and everything is clean. The wi-fi is strong, and they even have a hi-tech app. for my phone, so I can reserve a court, or sign up for a class. It even tracks my workouts if I choose. The only thing this place is missing, are the swimming suit spinners to dry your wet bathing suit (Healthtrax ripped them out when they left). Very happy I rejoined (And I qualify for a Veteran discount too) . . . Cheers! P.S. Speaking of Hi-Tech, the pool was down for unexpected maintenance yesterday, and I got a notification on the app. saying, so, as well as an e-mail and an app/ message telling me that it opened back up later in the evening. Many times in the past at Healthtrax, I got to the club in the morning, only to find out the pool was closed, but now I know in advance . . . that's awesome!

I've been a member of barre3 in southpointe for about three years. I had a brief hiatus and with…read more100% certainty my physical and mental health suffered greatly! Firstly, these workouts are not a joke - they're tough! But the professionals who teach there are so amazing at helping everyone adapt to their body's needs. Some days you can push to the edge and some days you can't - you will be challenged at barre3 but never made to feel embarrassed or weak if you need a break or need to modify the flow. Secondly, the space is a major reason I continue with this particular studio, even driving from Pittsburgh for a bit to get there. It's open and inviting with loads of natural light! I looooove that. They have everything you'll need - clean towels, all the equipment, plus toiletries and showers etc. Lastly, each class ends with guided breathe work - just five minutes with the music soft and the lights off learning a breathing exercise to end the class. I can't tell you how many times this place, the people there and the workouts have lifted me out of some darkness. Specifically, the owner Katie, is hilarious and you can't be around her without feeling better afterward. Five hundred stars barre3!

I push myself to do every rep even when my muscles have had it, and I am only slightly sore the next day and completely recovered by day 2. The session always ends with adequate stretches to the muscles used most. I see a change in my body after just 2 weeks and I feel amazing. They change up every class so you never know what you're gonna get and you never get bored. Every instructor I have had so far has been a real pro. I highly recommend this to anyone who is generally physically healthy and wants to improve muscle tone and flexibility.

The trainers are so good at putting together workouts that increase performance levels, while keeping us safe from injury. They don't tell you what to do and walk away.

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.
