I was a 10 year member at LA Fitness, then the pandemic happened and I never went back. This layout is different and I like the experience and what is available. How about the basketball court on top of the roof with awesome views. It's early but overall impressed what they have available thus far. It will work out well with my work place.

Complimentary attached garage parking is available, along with rooftop court, and even relaxing massage chairs equipped with your own personal television entertainment. This facility even offers specialized personal/nutritional coaching and exciting "pop up" classes. The classes range from rooftop yoga to upbeat cycling. My personal favorite part about the gym is the qualified, friendly staff/management and the floor to ceiling windows that view downtown on the second floor!!

I moved to Pittsburgh a few months ago and wanted to find a local gym. I've lived in MANY cities…read moreand been a member at MANY gyms, so I know what I want and need. As I researched nearby gyms prior to my move, Altus stood out - they had great reviews online and their philosophy/program offering seemed to align with what I was seeking. John was very responsive to my initial inquiry and after I got settled, I went to meet him for an initial consult. Our conversation gave me full confidence this was the place for me. I love strength training, so I wanted to work with a trainer to get me back into the routine of lifting weights, but I need flexibility - I travel frequently for work and often have to book trips last minute. During our conversation, we talked through everything - my history with strength training, my work and travel schedule, nutrition, injuries, goals, expectations, budget --- it was the most thorough consult I've had with any gym. I also had a preliminary session to determine my baseline (strength, range of motion, etc.) and get all the data measurements, which we use and remeasure to track my progress over time. Now that I've been going to Altus for a few months, I can genuinely say the entire experience - and Altus team - have been amazing. I immediately felt welcome and I appreciate the trainers so much. I've been working with Aaron for my individual sessions and squad sessions and it's been great. He's truly a 'coach' in that we're always talking through each set (about my form, the muscle groups we're focused on, how I'm feeling after each set, why we're doing certain things, etc.) -- it's educational, engaging, and fun. And he's always flexible with my crazy work schedule - accommodating changes when I have to go out of town, providing workouts through the mobile app that I can do virtually when I'm gone, squeezing in sessions when nothing about my availability is 'normal', and checking in regularly between sessions to see how I'm doing. I've also joined several classes and they're always fun - Heather, Cheri, Brandi --they'll kick your butt, but you'll love every minute of it. :) the Versa climber was a new piece of equipment for me --- it's killer but awesome! If you're looking for a gym that will focus on what you need and trainers who will champion you every step of the way to reaching your goals --- head over to Altus. They're the best!

I signed up for a Versa climber 45 minute class (FYI - you can sign up for your first class for free). When I walked up the steps of the studio, I was blown away by the entire gym setup, in addition to the classrooms. They truly have something for everyone! When I signed in for class, I was given a heart monitor to track my workout and taken back to the climber room. The instructor, Cody, was so welcoming and full of energy! I was a little worried since this was my first time taking this type of class, and he made me feel so comfortable and continued to motivate us throughout the entire 45 minutes of class. This workout was HARD, but I felt so good after and would definitely come back to Altus to check out their other options in the future

The facility is older but it's clean and neat. I hate paying a ridiculous amount of money to work out at a gym where people are rude and superficial. This place is the exact opposite. I don't feel intimidated trying out free weights amongst the guys who've clearly been working out for years. No snickers, stares or sneers from others. The kindness and common goal of better health and exercise makes for a supportive environment. So glad to have this place in my hood.

I thought this class would be a stretch for me since I'm not a runner whatsoever but I was pleasantly surprised. I did have to stand outside since no one was in the studio but I messaged the business on Instagram and they said someone was on the way. Kiera saved me from the Pittsburgh breeze and was so nice and welcoming. She walked me through all the equipment we would be using so I could feel comfortable. The gym also had lockers inside the bathrooms for each gender. The class was a mix of running/sprinting/jogging/walking and ski pulls, and weights. I feel the burn and I know I'm going to be sore for a few days. I also love the cold peppermint towel at the end. It's a nice touch. It was a great start to my day and I can't wait to be in Pittsburgh again to come back.

After arrival, I noticed a class was in session, and it shares a wall with the contrast therapy room. The music shook the sauna panels and was too loud for me to even listen to my own music and/or read in peace. After about 15 mins, I left and asked for a refund/reschedule. I was told someone would be in contact. No one was, so I reached out myself, and was told no refunds since I used up a spot that someone else could have. Seems odd considering that the noise level was not communicated prior and part of a session is relaxation. I was offered a reschedule again after requesting a refund instead. Would not recommend giving your money to a place that is so careless with it. Thoughtless concept that is very clearly just an easy money grab.
