I've been a member of this club, Shape Training, East Pittsburgh (previously Keystone Fitness) for…read more10 years. Shape Training took over two years ago and I'm sorry to say it has gone downhill since. The new focus is personal training and if you don't partake of it, you are simply forgotten and not valued as a customer. When the changeover started and people started complaining I was actually a cheerleader for the new management. I kept telling people I'm willing to give them an opportunity to turn things around. Well, we just finished our 2nd summer without A/C. It was registering 83 degrees inside every day. We were appeased by the placement of 4 fans, which did nothing except blow around hot air. Let me clarify, I'm not adverse to sweating, I've done inferno classes, kickboxing among others in the past, but this was unbearable. For the past two years, we have been told that they are "working" on the air conditioning. With focus being on personal training, new equipment was purchased but unfortunately it didn't meet the needs of the existing customers. The weight machines are nice but you need to change the weights and spend much time looking around the gym for the right sizes. There are only 2 ellipticals; these are in high demand every day and are showing signs of wear. The motorized treadmills were replaced by manual treadmills. After many people complained, 3 motorized treadmills were purchased. The replacement machines didn't happen immediately; it took complaint after complaint over several months. The equipment is not being maintained. One rowing machine has had wires hanging from it since February. It was brought to management's attention in February and as of October, the wires are still hanging. One of the two stationary bikes is making an atrocious noise and was reported back in February. Other pieces of equipment are wearing down. I know some pieces may be old, but you need to study your demographic and usage of the equipment on a continuous basis to keep ALL your customers happy. They have a nice track that I used every day. Walking gave me an opportunity to look around the floor. I saw a lifesaver in the same spot all summer. Unfortunately the gym is not kept clean. For me, the final straw was when there were about 15 people in the gym and then a person came for training. The trainer blasted the music so loud, it actually hurt my ears. I asked an employee if they could just lower the music a bit, she was a foot away from me and had to lean in to ask me to repeat my question. I was told "no", they're training. I'm not adverse to music providing a beat while working out, but ruining ear drums is another issue. I left at that point for the last time. I understand the business end is to make money, but you can't simply focus on one portion and believe that you are meeting everyone's needs. Many people have left Shape Training in the past two years to join other gyms and feel valued as a customer. After desperately trying to keep a positive outlook for the past two years, I have finally joined the ranks and left.

I was an athlete my entire since I was 4....after ending my college career, I found myself lost. I missed structure, routine and just the atmosphere of everyone after the same thing, to be the best they can be and pushing each other to do the same....I started working with trainers and taking classes at SHAPE about 5-6 years ago, and when we moved back to Greensburg, I just decided not to make the drive anymore. WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. About a month ago I took the leap and decided to go in for a consult (Free by the way, with no pressure following) but I met with Martin Heban, who asked me what my goals where, and explained step by step how I can get there, and how SHAPE could support me. Sometimes all it requires to reach your goal, is to take that first step, and I am soooooo happy I did! I now workout there 3-4 days a week, primarily in their classes and obviously take advantage of all of their boot camps and free boxing classes! The support and camaraderie at SHAPE is like nothing you've ever experienced. Whether you have never worked out in your life, or if you are an active athlete, wanting to take your skills and ability to the next level....you will not be disappointed! I'll see you at SHAPE!

Dan has created a great environment and plans fantastic workouts. Push 40 reminds me of a mix of multiple workouts that I've done, but I just loved the concept and it's all fit into 40 minutes. Dan fits in cardio, weights and ab work with the HIIT (20 seconds on, 20 seconds off) methodology. You rotate around the room from treads to weights to bikes to TRX for the majority of the class, and end with about 5 minutes of ab work. The equipment was unique and planet friendly too. Their treads are powered by your speed instead of plugging them into the wall. Dan and the coaches work with each individual to push it to your maximum at each station. Not only were the coaches great, but the people here were all so welcoming and helpful.

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.

They are constantly adding more value and options for their members. They have a PT clinic moving in and cycle classes starting very soon. I know you might be asking, "but is Alpha for me?"

Never pay for coaching, in fact avoid going during staffed hours unless you want hit with flying dumbells. Always wipe the equipment down BEFORE you use it. Bring your own scale, there is none.

A year ago, I walked into Celli's and met the owner. After my first powerlifting competition, he…read moretold me, "If you ever want to take powerlifting seriously, train with me"--without even asking my numbers. Unsure if this is because I'm a woman or that's unrelated. Last week, I gave the gym another shot. I planned to do a drop-in, but the owner insisted I sign up. Since then, I've been repeatedly scolded for: - Taking phone calls, even with headphones. - Filming more than just my top set (which then ended up out of frame). - Filming accessories, despite needing to track an injury. - Having my tripod at a visible height, even though I ensure no one else is in frame. The worst was when I filmed myself alone in the bathroom mirror (fully clothed), stopped as soon as the owner's wife walked in, yet still got chewed out. That same day, the gym posted a rant calling social media lifters "fame-seekers" while selectively endorsing/ reposting others' Instagram posts. I left feeling anxious about getting yelled at again. None of these "rules" were communicated upfront--I was just reprimanded after the fact.

Pittsburgh FIT is such a welcoming environment for people at any skill level. I decided to join a…read more6-week challenge because I needed an extra kick in the butt to get motivated after some weight gain. I've since joined as a member. There's a variety of class times to choose from, from early in the morning to late into the evening. The 9:30 a.m. class is my normal class. The workouts are always a fun challenge and there's always different. They combine cardio, weight training and body resistance exercises, and everything wraps up within an hour. Trainers always go over all of the movements, usually with pep and a smile, and will correct you to ensure you have the best form. In the past, I've been a part of big box gyms where you lift and use machines at will. While they're cheap, I made excuses not to go because it was always the same motions. But Pittsburgh FIT has challenged me athletically for the first time in years. There's always the push of trying a little more if you can, but adjusting any movements so things are best for you, too. I love weight lifting, so I usually go heavier for those parts of the workouts, but I have a jenky ankle after a bad sprain last year, so I opt out of box jumps and things that are tough on those joints for something a little less straining. All in all, it's a great place where everyone there wants to see you succeed. Showing up is the first step.
