Best Gym near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Shannon made me feel like a brand new me and it has brought me great confidence. I am forever grateful. I feel like a million bucks! All together, the entire salon and staff were so welcoming and inviting. I felt so peaceful the entire time. Thank you so so much for the wonderful experience!

Been going here since I moved to Whitehall 16’. I absolutely love it!!! Best facials ever!!! My hair gets the best care and grows faster due to Vicky’s skills. They have many services which I have taken advantage and never disappointed.

I have Tried using studio G twice and both experiences were not good at all because of the same woman. I used them for two different weddings the older Lady that does scheduling does not know how to at all! The first wedding I showed up to my appointment and she messed it up in the computer but the stylist were able to fit me in and fix her mistake). This last time the same older lady sounded totally confused over the phone putting in a simple appointment. She said I was all set after I talked her through it and confirmed the day and the time. It is a evening wedding so everything Has to be done in the morning. I called the day before and she has my appointment for 2 hours before the wedding starts and it would definitely put me past the start time of the wedding! I even told her it must be in the morning. She did a 4pm appointment when the wedding STARTS at 6pm. I told her I NEED time to go home and get my kids ready. So now I have to hurry up and find somebody last minute for haircut, hairstyle, eyebrow wax and for make up tomorrow morning before the wedding. Definitely not happy would never recommend them due to not understanding how to put an appointment in to a computer for the right time twice! I am not a stylist nor have I ever worked in a salon but I know how long each task takes and how to time everything out. Someone that has worked in a salon for a while should know how to do the same thing

My first experience with being pampered-it was awesome! The massage and facial were amazing, I was really impressed and relaxed, the woman was very good at her job! All my pain spots were hit just right! They had a very wide variety of trendy nail colors. My bf was a little disappointed that they didn't immediately offer tips on nails when he made the reservation but I wasn't bothered by it, I'm still very very happy! And I can't wait to go back!

A 5% service charge to use a credit card. This means the more money you spend here the higher the service charge. Interesting choice

I have been undergoing treatment for sciatic nerve pain for almost a year. I was going to physical therapy twice a week with some results, but, I started going to the Stretch Lab once a week for 25 minutes. After the first session, with Lindsay, I felt relief. I felt improvement. I’ve had weekly sessions since October and am amazed at the mobility I regained. I highly recommend giving the Stretch Lab a try.

Great place. If you are looking for a magnificent stretch (who isn't) this is the place. Great location, calm, relaxing studio, and the best stretch (thanks Brianna) I've ever had. No high pressure sales pitches and everyone was fabulous. Easy scheduling on their site.

Zach is AMAZING! I’ve had other flexologists who are good also. All are friendly and I feel so good after.

This was my first time and it was amazing! Will be going again soon. Madison was amazing!

Excellent stretch care

X has everything you need for an independent workout! Two floors, lots of equipment and accessories including many squat racks (even a semi private squat room!) It is relatively bare bones, some of the equipment is on the older side but it gets the job done. From what I can tell they do not have group fitness classes, sauna, or steam room. It was a bit strange to me that 1/3 of the gym is restricted to personal training. I could not find a Bulgarian split squat stand or hip thrust machine but perhaps they exist somewhere. The staff (Grace) was helpful and kind. Guest pricing is reasonable: $50 for a one week guest pass, or $20 for day pass. It sounds like the membership options are also reasonably priced ($55-$85/month plus initiation fees) and are month to month. I am pleased with my experience here and definitely recommend!

X is a very conveniently-located, friendly, and spacious gym for anyone in the Shadyside area! There's lot of equipment so you can get a great workout in, even in the early evenings. I highly recommend X Shadyside!

I really wanted to get stronger over this winter so I checked out X on Walnut in Shadyside. Training that is totally customized to my goals with amazing results after only a few weeks. They offer so many options for individuals and groups as well as athletes who want to be at the top of their game. And Patrick, their Physical Therapist is on site as well. If you are ready to make a change, Just stop by and ask for the Manager,CJ. So glad I did!

Very clean, very kind staff. ESPECIALLY for all guests! Ownership should be thrilled because this small gym is actually GREATER than these big corporate gyms. Great job X and staff!

5 Stars I had an amazing experience at GYM X Shadyside! The staff was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, especially during my body composition analysis with their INBody 360 scanner. The process was quick, non-invasive, and provided such detailed insights about my body fat percentage, muscle distribution, and overall health. I really appreciated how the team took the time to explain the results and offer personalized advice to help me work toward my fitness goals.Especially CJ! The technology is cutting-edge, and the environment at GYM X is friendly and motivating. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to take their fitness journey to the next level! Thank you, GYM X, for helping me understand my fitness goals better!

Very nice facility. Pool was very nice 😜😜😛 VERY GOOD!!!

Good swimming pool and Sauna.

Great......

Disgusting school.

The coaches and programming at Iron City Elite, have totally changed the way I lift. After following powerbuilding programs for years, with regular injuries, I’ve strengthened my whole body and haven’t been injured since I started here 15 months ago! Highly recommend for a fun gym where the staff are highly educated and know how to help you reach your goals. Great for beginners and experienced athletes.

On a scale of cotton candy to Brussels sprouts, Iron City Elite is a square meal with your favorite protein, carb, and fat. For me, that's grilled chicken with broccoli, sweet potato, and parmesan. Iron City Elite is set off of Route 88 with plenty of parking. While I had no trouble finding the front door with the noticeable gym logo, it took me a second to realize I needed to go all the way down the stairs to find the gym space. Currently, I work with Coach Emily one-on-one, and I've been so grateful for how she tailors workouts to my body's needs. I workout quite frequently as an aerialist, and I wanted to work with someone who would help me target injury prevention and weak muscles. Iron City Elite also offers group classes, but I haven't attended one so I can't speak to that. The one-on-one coaching is great though, and I highly recommend this gym!

Thank you to Iron City Elite for working with Landon this summer. It kept him on track with getting up, working out and staying focused on his goals. We have seen an increase in speed and endurance on his skates. The transformation in just the 7 weeks 3x a week is tremendous with the strength and muscle tone as well. He enjoys going, he likes the trainers they push him but he says it’s fun and competitive. Jermey has even set up things specifically to do while he was away. Hope you have the summer program next year. Highly recommend.

My high school daughter loves training at Iron City Elite! Jeremy & his crew are educated, personable & supportive to their clients! They have a variety of activities to help your athlete advance in their sports of choice. They also listen to their clients, focus on what they are looking to improve & make training fun!!

If you are looking for a place that can help your son or daughter get in shape and gain an edge in any sport they play in, Iron City Elite is it! I signed my 13 year old son up back in January and we haven’t missed a session since! The staff is amazing and the workouts are Top Notch! The sessions are not just random activities. It is all very organized and structured to get the best out of each participant. Highly recommend!

I had a complaint about another gym member not respecting my space for a few months, finally I took it to the front where they fully listened. From there, they told me the process, talked to him, and checked in with me multiple times after. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

This used to be a great gym but lately there’s been a serious decline in professionalism from the people that work there. If they aren’t on their phones, they’re in the break room, and if they are not in the break room, they are goofing off around the gym. There are three folks there who are absolutely fantastic and busting their butts while their coworkers slack off. They are friendly, they’re making sure the gym is in a good place, and then you’ve got folks working like this one today. Couldn’t even use stability ball because she was too busy using them as chairs and an arm rest, hanging in the back with her friends, dropping the N-word left and right. I go there to work out and I’d like to enjoy it. You need to have a manager on site more often. Matter of fact…. I don’t know if I’ve ever even seen a manager. I’d love to show them the picture of this employee today. Insane this is how you’re running a business.

This gym is top notch nice new equipment very clean and always a great workout. The only thing I would recommend is getting rid of the obnoxious lunk alarm air raid siren lol

I enjoy this gym. Everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. The staff is friendly and say hello/goodbye. Very clean.

Very clean experience with very polite & helpful staff! What a wonderful gym to belong to! Makes working out a goodtime!!!

Love this place!! My grandchildren have learned to swim here. Comfortable environment! Had our birthday parties here too!!

My sister had my nieces party here today & the owner Mary was so rude & nasty the entire time. She kept yelling at the kids, telling them if they had a life jacket on they needed to go to the deep end (which makes zero sense), but of course most of the kids wanted to swim together so they were all in the shallow end. She kept yelling at the parents saying that we needed to be watching our kids if they were in the pool, yet all of the parents were already at the end of the pool watching. When one of the parents told her that she didn’t need to keep yelling at the kids, she proceeded to kick all of us out. She said she never even wanted to have the party and a bunch of other rude stuff. Why even agree when you know you didn’t want to have it? This is the most unprofessional business I’ve experienced & I would HIGHLY discourage anyone from renting a space here. The owner Mary is one of the rudest people I’ve met

We moved to Penn Hills and decided to join the club because they have an outdoor pool and an indoor pool, and we thought it’s the only heated indoor year-round pool near us and we wanted to swim during winter. $55/month in the summer is definitely worth it. You get two pools, a gym, sauna and steam room. I joined for the winter but the price is just not worth it. There’s a gym that’s actually pretty decent. The bathroom and fitting/lockers rooms could use some work. Showers are rinse off only, no curtains. The office area is sooo cluttered and there’s always food everywhere and there is no bell to ring if you have questions and there’s rarely anyone at the desk. You just sign in whenever you get there at the desk on your own. Hopefully you don’t have any questions. The sauna and steam room is pretty nice to have. My boyfriend uses it very often. We went every other day during the summer to swim laps because the outside pool is amazing! It’s huge and there’s plenty of places to lounge. They have tons of floaties and big pool toys which is really great. You can bring food and drinks and make a day of it. The only negative about the outside pool is there are no outside bathrooms/changing rooms so you do have to walk quite a bit if you need to use the bathroom. An outdoor facility would be really nice! After they closed the outdoor pool in September we were not aware that the swim team uses the indoor pool for two hours a night for training, and there are local classes in the a.m. It really was not explained well when we bought the membership. The indoor pool is also much smaller and only 3-4 people can swim laps at a time if you’re lucky. When you buy the membership they tell you the hours they’re open but not the hours the pool is closed for morning/night classes during the winter. It kinda became hard to make it work in our schedule to swim once October started. The indoor pool we noticed is very rusted and does need a lot of work. There’s also quite a few cats that come and go so you may walk around pet bowls and beds. We will consider joining next summer for the outdoor pool, but we found a closer indoor pool for the winter that is cleaner, open longer and half the price.

I'm a fan of this place. I have been taking up swimming as exercise occasionally and there's pretty much always a lane available. Plus there's 2 sauanas. One is a hot room the other is a steam room. The owner is always very polite and accommodating. For example, the last time I was there on a Sunday, the hot room wasn't on because nobody requested it all day, so she turned the steam room on because it heats up quicker. Everyone I meet there is usually really polite as well, one swimmer in the lane next to me that I was chatting with gave me his old pair of goggles. He was a lot better than me at swimming laps but still friendly.

Probably was very nice in the 60s when it was last updated. Indoor pool area seemed like everything was just thrown around, carpeting in locker rooms, bathrooms that have toilets that barely flush. Could be nice but would need a lot of updates. You can see daylight through the roof. Litter boxes inside pool area. Parking lot has tons of pot holes that could swallow a Prius.

I founded and run Pittsburgh Girls Who Walk, and we LOVE Kickhouse. From offering us a kickboxing class to putting on a two-hour intensive private self-defense course for our gals, they do it all. The staff are kind, funny, so welcoming, and so informative , and every class is so in-depth. We will absolutely keep coming back for more!

I can't recommend Kickhouse Pittsburgh enough! The instructors are all incredibly kind and genuinely care about each and every member of the gym. They push you to your limits, making each workout intensive and effective. Not only are the workouts beneficial for your health, but you also get to learn self-defense skills at the same time. This gym is super welcoming and offers a very supportive environment. I can't imagine my life without it at this point! If you're on the fence about it, you should definitely give it a try!

I absolutely recommend taking classes at KickHouse for people looking to both workout and get some kickboxing moves. All the coaches are very helpful and the energy is amazing. They really try to foster a a good environment that’s very non stressful and non judgmental! I recommend it to everyone!!

I usually don’t go to gyms or classes because of my confidence but at kick house everyone was very open and welcoming as soon as I came in! I haven’t worked out in a long time and I’m Out of shape to say the least but the instructor stayed with my friend and I in the the back to make sure we where going at a pace we could handle and showed us all the right steps instead of throwing us into a routine we didn’t know. I loved the class and we will be back as regulars! Everyone was friendly and supportive, I would definitely recommend!

I’ve been going to Kickhouse for a couple years now and it is my favorite way to exercise! The coaches do a great job keeping the energy up and the atmosphere positive. It’s easy to go at your own paces during class and there are always people with various skill/intensity levels every class.

People leave their garbage on the floor around the gym. The ceilings drip water because they don't change the humidifiers. There is currently a puddle by the lat lull down station. The windows and mirrors are disgusting. There is tumble weeds of dust dirt and hair all around the squat racks. I have now told two employees about this over the last few weeks. Nothing has been cleaned. I give the week day morning guy credit, he at least stays awake during his shift. Most of the morning people have just slept at the front desk the past few years. Paper towel dispensers run at a 50 percent rate of being empty. The employees have a 50 percent pass rate on being able to fill the paper towel dispensers as well. Also the ceiling in the basement has been leaking for years. Not when it rains so that makes it more disgusting. Fitness 19's solution is buckets. It's been over 3 weeks. They haven't fixed the ceiling. Now there is black mold. The humidifiers never get emptied and it is currently raining inside the basement.

I joined yesterday because I discovered the location closest to me has precor brand ellipticals. And precor is # 1 in my heart. So I'm so excited about that. I love that it's 24 hours! It's definitely a gym and not a spa. The vibe there is for people who actually want to workout. I'm super happy that I joined!

Wood floors are filthy with sweat and grime. Same for cardio and weight machines. Never saw ANY cleaning beyond vacuuming mats over 6 months. Always broken equipment. SLOW to repair. Will be leaving.

Location is convenient. Used to come here in 2018 as well. I switched her not two weeks ago and already am cancelling. Gym is dirty. Period. Some cardio equipment is broken and a lot of everything else is in varying levels of decline if it isn't brand new. Ratty rubber handles that aren't repaired. Some of the equipment smells terrible (like petting zoo almost) because it's never cleaned. Layer of grime on bathroom doors that doesn't look to have been cleaned in years. Shame really, because it's very close. I'll stick with my prior gym. Staff wasn't very clear on cancellation as well, so I hope I'm not charged more than my contract states.

This place is affordable with free parking and childcare which I give 2 stars for that. However they took out the aerobics room and there is no more trainers or classes. Further they only let you use the message chair once a day and their other extras only once a day which isn't worth the membership even if it's affordable. Also they will charge you a 15 dollar late fee every month even if you told them you no longer want the membership with the extras on it. I didn't go for a whole half a year due to an injury. I paid up and said I no longer wanted the extras on my membership since you can only use it on a limit of only once a day. When I came back they had charged me 15 dollars every month from the time I left. I had over a 100 dollars in late fees. I told them that's inaccurate explained the situation to them and just left. I ended my membership. Definitely not worth it...
