It's a shame that a gym (or more so those running a gym) can actually make a child lose interest in a sport they once loved. I'm not a keyboard warrior just a parent watching out for my child and other unsuspecting families.

Pittsburgh Gymnastics Club, LLC reviews…read more I was forced post to websites of the gyms affiliates and workers because I felt the need to defend myself as Kim, the owner, under handedly blocked me from the group page and emails. None of what I posted was "nasty" as the owner rebutted.The statements were a true representation of what happened. I feel like people need to know what type of business owner you are. What type of business owner of a gymnastics class bans parents from seeing their kids in action especially being new and being the one paying. I come from far away to attend this little gym in Braddock, but now understand I was expected to go away and not watch my child. Where did you expect me to go for 1 hour 2 days per week?? Maybe the kids should come in snowsuits for gymnastics if you're so worried about the coaches touching a little sweat. This gym and owner is unprofessional when dealing with the public. My daughter had a midriff top on as part of her gymnastics outfit. It was the 1st time she wore it. I've seen other kids with backs and stomachs out before; and we are new or were new to gymnastics! I didn't know it was against dress policy, as I'm educated, not illiterate, and would not have put it on her if I had known. The instructor Sam told us she couldn't wear it again and I understood that. Then Sam ran and told the boss as soon as she got there for her to then reinforce it. Again I'm not illiterate or uneducated; I got it the 1st time! They demanded my 9 year old, who hasn't a trace of protruding body parts, put on a shirt with less than 30 min. of class left. Upset my daughter tremendously! Instead of Kim, the owner making it more of a safety issue which I would have understood, she told me my 9 year olds sweat was GROSS! Yes she used the word GROSS! Are the faces, necks, arms, and legs of the children GROSS and part of a safety and sanitation issue you posted about on facebook? Because they are all exposed and get sweaty, touch the coaches, and equipment too. Maybe your in the wrong business!!! Maybe tbe kids should come in snowsuits if the coaches and owner are worried about touching the kids sweat. Again GROSS would not be the professional thing to say to a parent. That offended me tremendously and I made the decision to pull my daughter out of that gym. Then Kim rudely blocked me from commenting on the situation via email and facebook, after she posted a very offensive and UNPROFESSIONAL facebook post stating me and my 9 year old rolled our eyes, charging me for a shirt, and something about what my mama didn't teach me.... what is this high school? I should not be receiving any farther charges after 6/20/17 as my daughter used her own shirt. Who talks about a child as an adult and owner of a business that supposed to love and serve children?! Speaking of rolling eyes I witnessed teacher Sam roll her eyes and curl her lip at a student named Savanah just because she had to redirect her a couple of times. If you brought your kids to a practitioner to be treated, which is what I do, you would not like it either if I used slang/unprofessional terms such as GROSS; to describe a certain condition when treating your children. Learn from this situation and the loss of a new customer/client! Please, please learn to be professional if you plan to be open for any amount of time.

The members and number of trainers have grown immensely from when I started but the customer service is still the same. Everyone from the owners to the trainers to the members are great.... Down to earth, encouraging, etc. These are group workouts that push you but everyone does it at their own level so it works. I unfortunately had to leave the gym due to factors beyond my control but after I get resituated and back on a regular schedule I will be calling Gina to reinstate me at PKB. Not sure what I miss more, the workouts or the people/trainers/owners.

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.

It hasn't been too crowded, thankfully. They over organize the swimming, as I have one son that likes to swim by himself and it's over kill scheduling him 1 hour at a time. I'm just thankful he can go there. My one concern is if you work in the city and don't get home until 6 pm....swimming options are limited and if that's your thing, evaluate carefully. They have many other things going on there, but we are still scratching the surface. Benefits outweigh the costs!

The women have been forced to share the locker room with children and men. UPMC has made little to no progress toward the repairs to the showers and steam room located in the women's locker room.
