Best Gyms with Resistance Machines near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great gym, good service , clean - staff is accommodating and friendly .

Great gym! Very clean with great equipment. Glad they have a $10 a day guest pass for when I'm in town💪

Small, quiet place with lots of equipment & friendly people. I always enjoy my time here BUT their rates are right up there with the other big gyms even though there are no locker rooms or showers. I've spent a few free trial days using this gym before deciding if I want a membership, and I've been tossing the idea around in my head for a week now...not being able to get a shower & go about my day has been making it a toss-up for me. I guess if you live close by it wouldn't make too big a difference.

Nice small gym with a good assortment of equipment. No power lifting though. Owner is often present and ensures all the equipment is treated well and cleaned up after. Many clients are in the competition body building scene. Good prices and none of the corporate BS that you'll find at LA Fit, Fit 19 etc. Often have the place to myself in the AM or early afternoon.

I joined The Gym almost 3 months ago and LOVE it. This is the longest I have stayed a member and have so much motivation now to change my life. The Gym is one of the reasons I have been changing my life. The atmosphere is welcoming and equipment is great. I have never had problems finding equipment to use, if something is being used I go to another piece of equipment and then I can get the one I wanted (on the very rare occasion this happens). I have been a couch potato all of my life and now I am going to the gym on a daily basis. I signed up with a personal trainer who puts so much time into helping me achieve my goals and teach me the proper form when I am doing workouts. If you are looking for a friendly gym that has people that care, this is the place for you. I have tried the yoga classes which as great ways to stretch your muscles and work on mindfulness. Also, tried the Kettlebell AMPED which is a tough workout that really pushes you. The Gym is a secret gem in the south hills that is so worth the visit. The owner knows everyone and gives personal attention to the quality and atmosphere here.

Love being a part of this community. So much more welcoming, clean, & comfortable than many of the big name gyms in the Ross Township area. Never too crowded, even during peak hours of the day around rush hour or early morning. 24 hour access. Access to a free body scan for all new members. Brand new equipment that is well maintained. Knowledgeable trainers who genuinely care about being of service and tailoring to your needs, not just because they like to workout. Would recommend to anyone of any fitness level or experience.

This is by far the best gym in the area. The staff is super friendly. I stopped in today to check it out and after doing my tour I knew this was where I wanted to be. It is clean and well kept. They have a wide variety of equipment to fit what I need. The membership is very well priced and worth it! I toured and trialed other gyms in the area and they are no where close to what workout anytime is! It is a must try if you are looking for a gym!

EDIT: downgrading to 3 stars because not only did they raise the temperature back to 74, they seemingly have no methods of controlling the humidity in here. As fall has gotten colder, the windows are covered in condensation because it must be 80% humid in here. They need to get in line with the industry and keep the temperature around 70, and the humidity a normal 40-50% I really like this gym, but the only thing keeping me from reviewing 5 stars is the temperature. Not only do they keep it at a weirdly hot 74F, (edit: it's now set to 72F but still struggling) but the HVAC system can't keep up during summer, and it gets up to 78-80 in there. It makes it very difficult to try and do intense cardio. Otherwise, I love the equipment selection. Everything you could want, and it's never super busy. They have lockers, massage beds, and are always open!

Workout Anytime Fitness Westview This gym is laid out perfectly with 7 elliptical, 5 bikes, 2 stair climbers, 10 treadmills, all facing 6 tv screens, all on different channels. This is perhaps the cleanest gym I have ever been in, including the bathroom. There is plenty of weightlifting equipment of all kinds, and they are all spaced out well. Equipment cleaning spray and microfiber cloths are provided. The friendly staff are always cleaning/vacuuming when I’m here. Highly recommend!!

I read a review below regarding the staff accusing people of not paying and then not being able to cancel or place membership on hold. This entire staff is all over the place. One person will tell you one thing, and the next person will tell you something different. And GOODLUCK trying to call during “staffed hours”. My family will be going to a different gym that has better customer service, actually offers everything that’s advertised, and more variety of programs offered.

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!

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!!!

BFIIT is the perfect blend of boxing and fitness in a fun and supportive environment! Barry is an awesome coach that will encourage and push you! I always feel amazing after class knowing I got a great workout and spent time with some great people! You'll truly get a mix of everything here, and no two classes are ever the same! Check it out 💪

This is the best gym ever. The location is perfect w/lots of parking. From day 1 the atmosphere has been so inviting & fun. Coach Barry is amazing. I’ve learned so much. He will motivate & empower you to your fullest potential while teaching proper form & endurance no matter what stage you’re in when it comes to working out. I was a true beginner but now I’m so proud of how far I’ve come & the proof is in the results! Best decision by far. Huge thank you to coach Barry! This place will make you want to stay consistent. To anyone on the fence, give it a try you won’t regret it.

Coach Barry is one of a kind! He will push you past your limits. He will pull out the best of you! You want a good work out!? Go see Coach Barry

I can't say enough good things about Bfiit and Coach Barry! I spent two months training here, and the results speak for themselves even though I wasn't exactly following the best diet (shhhh). Coach Barry's passion for boxing is contagious, and he's the only trainer who can make me smile while sweating buckets! Each workout is unique, which keeps things fresh and exciting. The gym has a great vibe, tons of space, and Barry truly makes you feel like part of the family. If you're looking for a top-notch boxing experience, this is the place. I’ll definitely be coming back! 5 stars all the way!

An amazing place to get fit and have a good time while doing so! Barry will push you to do your best even when you don’t know what your best is. He doesn’t take any excuses! Just try your hardest and he’ll work with you to get the results you desire.

Clean facility, supportive atmosphere, great classes and wonderful employees. Excellent communication with managers, I've been going here for over 5 years and any time I've had an issue they've always gone above and beyond to address it. Unlike some of the larger gyms in the area, they're very personal without being intrusive. Plenty of support to help you achieve any of your goals, with the perk of going any time you want! I've gone late at night and I have never once felt unsafe. Whether you're here to lift, do cardio or take a fun class like Pilates, there's lots of great options and the machines are kept clean, organized and in great condition.

Antime Fitness memeber here, home gym is Murrysville, nice gym However, this one is beautiful! Very clean, spacious, the layout was well thought out, great gear. Everyrhing- Good job people. If you weren't 45 minutes away... 💪🏼😁

Beth and Mollie are amazing and are my favorite part of going - Never had gym staff as friendly as them! The gym always has an event going on to help motivate the gym experience! The gym is always clean ad well kept!

The staff works diligently to maintain the facilities impeccably clean and neatly organized no matter the time or day. They ensure that everyone is acknowledged while at the gym by saying hello and checking in while displaying a heartfelt smile, which provides a familiar and friendly environment. Thankful for this hardworking team - Keep rocking it!!!

I have been to many gyms due to traveling for work, school, and moving to another state. This gym has topped all of them!! It is so clean and Beth and Mollie are so welcoming and really good at what they do!

As a member, I can tell you this gym is disgusting. The equipment is old and some of it is broken. This is a picture of an extension cord for a light in the men's room. Bathrooms are often out of order, and the gym is dirty. Staff is never there, and honestly, they aren't needed anyway. This gym is filthy and outdated. Do not join if you care about having a working bathroom,lights, or clean environment. Otherwise, it's perfect. Update woman's room now no water. Broken equipment they don't fix it they just put notes..Decided to leave this gym and head to Crunch fitness. There is plenty of equipment and imagine the water works and lights aren't rigged. Snap Futness on mcknight should have the board of health called.

Updated to add- it's been a week since the gym responded that they were actively working to fix the problem, and it's still the same, so not only do they not care about the gym and it's members, they have no issue with making false claims and blatantly lying! Going on three weeks now with no usable women's restrooms, what a gym! Worst gym in the greater Pittsburgh area. Bare bones, outdated and often broken equipment, but by far the worst is the women's bathroom not being usable for over a week now with no estimate of when it will be fixed due to the owner being out of the country until January. The owner does not care about the gym or it's members, it's a disgrace. Making his staff use money from their own pocket to fix leaks to keep the gym open is shameful. Bathrooms with a functional toilet and sink are essential. Don't waste your money here

I have been a member here for a while now. I've tried every other gym in the area and this one is the best interms of service and convenience ( I am a body builder). The gyms down the road on mknight have huge contracts and take you through hoops if you want to get out of them.Also ony a few others are actually 24 hrs as most claim to be but make you pay extra or do a "soft close" after 9 PM. This place being 24 hrs and close to where I live helps a bunch. The staff was super helpful and she made it easy to set up my guest pass for family and start and stop membership whenever I have to leave town. The members keep to themselves but are helpful if you have fitness questions. Also, I am a big fan of the key card system, I am in and out without issue.

For the past couple of weeks, I have noted a sewer smell in the vicinity of the water fountain. Yesterday, the smell was horrendous. Obviously there is a plumbing problem that needs to be addressed immediately! The rating of four stars is based prior to the sewer smell and assumes the plumbing problem is fixed quickly.

I wanted to work out as a guest and stood outside for 13 minutes past the time when staff were supposed to be there. I tried calling and messaging and never got a response. Good thing, because I am quite happy at another gym that is superior in many ways.

I’ve been using Crunch Fitness for a while now, and I have to say that the overall gym experience has been good. However, I’ve had serious concerns about the childcare service, particularly with one staff member. There’s a staff member who has a consistently bad attitude. She doesn't seem well-trained when it comes to working with children. Recently, while peaking through the window I saw her l grab my 1-year-old son Im assuming after he threw a toy or something along those lines. She doesn’t seem to ever redirect his behavior or try to resolve the situation, she seems overwhelmed and doesn’t attempt to communicate or engage with him in a positive way. When I asked about it, there was no effort to address my concerns or offer an explanation. It’s clear that this staff member spends more time holding or playing with other children but doesn’t engage with my son at all. This makes me feel as though he is being treated differently under her care, which is extremely concerning as a parent. That being said, there is another staff member who works in the evenings and she is absolutely wonderful. She’s always pleasant, attentive, and patient with the kids. I’ve never had an issue with her, and I always feel comfortable leaving my child in her care. Unfortunately, because of the inconsistent and concerning behavior of some of the staff, I don’t feel comfortable leaving my children in the childcare area anymore. It's a shame because the gym itself is great, but childcare is a huge part of the experience for parents. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and ensures that all staff members are properly trained and held to higher standards when it comes to child care

They don't value the safety of their members. I looked for clamps for my barbell for squats. None to be found. I asked for some up front. They told me to look again. I found broken ones and tried to use those. In the process three forty five lb weights came off the bar mid squat. I go tell the front. They told me to look again. I take one more lap before I finally said enough to management. Then he gas lights me with all you had to do was ask (four times, walk for half an hour in circles and almost kill yourself). He then suggests I pay my own money for my own clamps. For a gym I spend thirty bucks a month on. His next best suggestion was cancelling my membership. Finally something we can Agree on

I’ve been a member of this gym for about 2 years. My favorite part of the gym is the sauna, when I’m in training season the sauna is great for recovery. The copious amounts of treadmills is awesome. The staff in the early morning have always been pleasant. I would like to warn people of their cancellation policy. In order to cancel your membership, you are required to sign a cancellation form in person with a manager only. I suggest calling the gym ahead of time to make sure a manager is available in the period of time you are planning to come in. Unfortunately, I came during the hours that they told me that a manger WOULD be available (Monday-Thursday 10am-9pm, Saturday-Sunday 7am-2pm) and there was no available manger for me to complete my cancelation. I specifically got someone to cover for me at work while I took my lunch to go cancel my membership only to be told no one was available and I would have to come back. I wasted an hour of my time and my lunch break (driving to and back from the gym), not including my second trip to the gym later that day. There was no “sorry for the inconvenience” or any accommodation for the inconvenience this situation caused me. I’m leaving a 5 star review in good faith because I never had an issue with the gym or the staff before this situation, but I do wish someone would have at least apologized. I have worked in a client facing industry my whole career and I have dealt with unhappy clients, I understand how it feels, so I hope this 5 star review can influence the gym to form a better cancellation process and help them communicate more clearly with their customers. I still do recommend this gym, I just hope other people have a better experience than I did! :)

Been a member here for over 6 months and one thing I love the most about this community is how supportive everybody are. The member services are very patient and love to help their members feel the most comfortable and supported at the gym. As an ex personal trainer, I love how knowledgeable their Pt’s are and happy to help you anytime they are available! Also love the fact it’s 24/7 Monday to Thursday!

1. Gym is gross. When you pick up dumbbells or a bar, there is a thick layer of grease and sweat. 2. They bill like con artists/scammers. They bumped up my rate without notifying me, and I was paying an extra 7 dollars a month for an upgraded plan that I did not request or desire. This went on for over a year. "It's in the contract." Oh well hundreds of dollars lost to these scumbags. Also, they will charge you an extra fee to cancel your membership, and they will bill you for an extra month after you cancel because "it's in the contract." 3. You can't cancel over the phone or email despite assurances from some of the staff. In fact you can only cancel in person during certain hours of the day. They make you come in person to cancel so the manager can body shame you, tell you about your bad eating habits, and try to make you feel guilty for not coming in to workout. 3. It's extremely crowded. If you come after work you will wait to use basic equipment like a bench or squat rack. 4. The only water fountain in the gym was broken for a year... completely ridiculous. 5. Sauna perpetually broken.

Staff was polite and very helpful, and other patrons minded their own business. It was a nice place to work out. I didn’t use the bathroom while I was there so can’t speak to that. The Black Card area was clean and comfortable. Most weights were on the weight wall. 1 was missing— not sure where it could be… All machines seemed to be in working order. I used a bike and a chess press machine.

I love it here! Great equipment, large variety, never overcrowded, everyone minds their own business, very neat and clean, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Overall well run, great place to work out or just relax in the massage or hydromassage chairs.

Gym is clean and fine, nice new equipment. But there are a lot of older men that were clearly never taught that it’s impolite to stare at women. Have genuinely experienced this every time I’m there… Not an unsafe feeling… just weird

I love this gym—it’s close by, has plenty of convenient parking, and the equipment selection is solid. Sure, it leans a bit more toward machines than free weights, but hey, cardio fans, you’re in luck—there are more treadmills here than at a marathon starting line! My only gripe? The hot water in the showers is on a space mission—it takes so long to arrive that I’m pretty sure it’s making a round trip to Mars. But hey, I’ve adapted to cold showers post-workout, so I’m calling it an unintended benefit!

I was so excited for them to open but I only go for tanning. There’s most often a wait because there’s only one tanning lay down bed. Crunch fitness has 5. Cranberry planet fitness has 7. I’ll give 5 star once more beds are added. It’s ridiculous. No one likes the stand up ones. Interestingly the robot response is of no value because I did suggest another tanning bed or replace the stand up with a lay down

What a fantastic experience. I was staying at the hotel next door, I'm an out of Towner on business. I brought my racket with me in case I had the chance to play. I met Vince who was very welcoming and I got a first class lesson in with Earl. I got a lot more than I bargained for! Thank you Vince and Earl and next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to stop by

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! This is my gym and has been since 2017. It is a fantastic club, easily accessible from Fox Chapel (7 minutes), Gibsonia (15 minutes), and Oakmont (6 minutes) due to its proximity to both I-76 and PA-28 interchanges. There’s a huge parking lot so you don’t have to hassle with street parking. The indoor and outdoor courts are magnificent. Not everyone joins for tennis; plenty of members join for only fitness. The free weights and machines in the fitness room are in excellent shape. The locker rooms are well equipped, including with towels that are provided for free. The entire facility is spacious and well cleaned. The front desk staff take the time to get to know the members. Everyone is always so friendly at Alpha. The front desk staff recently unveiled a new computer system that allows members to login online, making it even easier to join and reserve a court. As for coaching and training, you will find Hall-of-Fame-worthy coaches/trainers here. Whether you are looking to improve your tennis game, learn tennis for the first time, or fitness training to get in better shape, Alpha is the place to be!

Excellent facility, well maintained, super polite staff. We took a remiss clinic and it was a lot of fun!

Great facility, clean, great equipment.

Nice casual and professional indoor tennis courts.
