Trainers in Pittsburgh

“My wife and I lived in Pittsburgh for a year and *absolutely loved* MADabolic. Training there was a huge highlight of our time in Pittsburgh. Here's more detail about what we loved:

- The workouts are excellent and efficient. We just show up, watch instructors demonstrate (with sufficient nuance and detail) each exercise, then work. It's an intense and productive hour, we always leave dripping sweat and made noticeable gains quite quickly.
- The instructors are friendly, engaged, and give good feedback. My squat and hinge motions got significantly better due to instructor feedback, and I learned way more than I would with just video instruction. I also learned some boxing basics. *Every* instructor learned our names immediately, and made an effort to have it feel like a real community rather than a transactional workout.
- My wife and I had significantly different prior experience with exercise, but we could take the same class next to each other (just using different weights and getting different feedback).
- It was just a really great vibe. We several times/week and were always excited to go. We both got so much stronger throughout the program. We loved interacting with the instructors.

We wound up checking it out randomly because Jesse happened to be recruiting in the lobby of our apartment building, and we're *really* glad we did!“

“We did a drop in class today and had a great time. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The workout was great. We will be back.“

“Love Sherry and Locke’s! I have been going for over a year and definitely feel stronger and better. Sherry changes the exercise routines often so you’re never bored. Would definitely recommend!!!!“

“Five stars - this is a fantastic gym whose coaches are genuinely interested in the success of their members. If you need anything, whether advice / encouragement / support, they are there for you. It is inclusive and a place for people of all ages and levels of fitness. Check them out!“

“I would recommend Iron City Elite to anyone trying to improve their health and fitness. It is a welcoming environment with a diverse group of people from all walks of life. The group classes are small enough that you definitely get the individual attention from the trainer that you need while still having the energy and camaraderie of a class. The trainers are great about meeting you at your level, but still pushing you to make progress. They are always willing to make modifications for individuals where needed.“

“First off, shout out to Phoenix and Micheal for the day pass. Overall the facility is very clean and odor free. Plenty of benches and free weights. If I live in the area this would be my home gym.“

“Fabulous Gym for any Goal(s) from general Weight-Loss and Wellness to Boxing Training and Strength And Conditioning.

If it can be done, it can be done here and to the highest level.

Welcoming Community; Motivating People; Historic and I believe the oldest Gym in Pittsburgh? Either way and old or new, it's a great Gym especially for Anyone looking to get in to Boxing.“

“The staff at Winners Fitness are wonderful people! From their quick response to my inquiry to matching my grandson with the best fit in Alex as a personal trainer they are top notch. Anyone looking 4 compassionate, professional, dedicated team members to help with their fitness journey need to contact Winners Fitness!“

“Ray is one of the best trainers I have ever worked with. He personalizes each workout and helped me work through several injuries and concerns I had prior to starting. He is engaged in my success, is a great motivator and communicates very effectively. Could not have asked for a better person to work with!“

“Really helped get my eating habits in check and geared towards a more athletic lifestyle.“

“This is probably the most laid-back and friendly gym I've ever been to. I've done personal training with both Mike and Blake, and I've benefitted greatly from their assistance and direction.“

“I have been attending for several years and have seen positive changes in my conditioning. I love the staff and the individualized approach.“

“I have been training with Josh for almost two years now, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. Training with him has helped me regain consistency and motivation with exercise, lose weight, get into better shape, and feel healthier overall. His approach to training is truly holistic, thoughtful, and deeply personalized. Josh goes far beyond simply counting reps or following a generic program, he treats you as a whole individual, taking into account your body, goals, limitations, and overall well-being.
As a physician, I can confidently say that Josh’s knowledge of the human body and exercise physiology is extremely impressive. His understanding of exercise, physiology, nutrition, and how all of these elements work together is the most comprehensive I have ever seen in a personal trainer. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that training is not only effective, but also safe, sustainable, and aligned with long-term health.
On top of all of his knowledge, Josh’s studio is truly impressive. He has every piece of equipment imaginable and everything is kept pristine, highly organized, and meticulously maintained. The environment he has created reflects the same level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail that he brings to his training.
I would recommend Josh again and again without hesitation. Training with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have Josh as their trainer.“

“Decent price and decent gym… wish there was another squat rack or 2. Otherwise very happy with this location! ??“

“Nice place, not to crowded and the staff are approachable and dont make you feel uneasy if you are unfamiliar with any of the equipment.“

“My experience is a bit unique. I met with Brooks to talk over some very specific goals I have and he told me that they are not the best place to assist me with my goals and referred me to someone else. If my fitness goals change and I want to do something more in line with what type of training they specialize in, I will not hesitate to go back because that kind of honesty and frankness is not always commonplace in the business world. He could've promised me the world and taken my money but he and his gym clearly prioritize honesty and customer satisfaction which I think is great.“

“I have been a member for 4 years now. It's one of the best decisions I've made to join since becoming a mother. I love being able to fit in a workout while spending time with my children and socializing with other moms. I have truly gained a village and support system through the highs and lows of motherhood. There are a variety of workouts and locations at local parks and malls. There are mom only workouts too in the evenings and Saturday mornings that I've really enjoyed too since they are higher intensity workouts that will focus on overall health and wellness even outside of the classes. There are fun monthly play dates, family days and moms nights out that make joining so much more than just a workout. It really is a wonderful community of moms that has helped me become physically stronger and emotionally more supported during my motherhood journey.“

“I have been working with JoAnn at Hydration Health and Fitness for nearly two years. From day one JoAnn listened to my concerns and frustrations about my past with various diets and exercise and empathized deeply. She helped me to instill new habits that are sustainable and realistic with my day to day life. I now feel that I know how to exercise safely, set my own (realistic!!) goals, and create sustainable nutrition plans for myself. Additionally, she helped me to gain a much healthier and less negative outlook on nutrition and exercise which makes this process even more rewarding.“

“There's a new employee and she did what the other employees couldn't do for four months. She got all of my information and membership card figured out. She is very proficient at her job and I thank her very much. Her name was Grace M. She got my membership fixed and got me my new card and did what no one else did for me. She helped me with what I needed to get into the club.“

“I have been training with Marcie at Touchstone for nearly 8 months now. She has helped me to tune into my body’s form and function during the exercises, which has translated into my daily life. I feel stronger and find myself able to do things I haven’t done in years, without pain.
Marcie, under the guidance of Lisa, is thorough and clear in her instructions/ cues, compassionate, and takes the Pilates method seriously, but has fun with her students at the same time.
I HIGHLY recommend Touchstone to anyone wanting to train as Joe Pilates intended.“

“Roderick is a good guy and really helpful get a membership with him he will hook you up
Best gym“

“All of the trainers are amazing! Rae pushes me to be the best version of myself. I leave every session dripping in sweat. The environment is chill and there is definitely no judgement anywhere in this place. I have never felt so comfortable being at a gym.“

“Dave is an incredibly knowledgeable trainer who has a wide array of strength training equipment but also incorporates cardio and free weights into a personalized training program. Very easygoing personality as well.“

“Dr Brad is the best. He is so knowledgeable but more importantly, his treatments are effective.“
