CrossFit Athletics

This gym (box) is fantastic! Everyone has been so kind and helpful. The overall vibe of CrossFit Athletics is really what makes it a great place. I tried CrossFit years ago at another location and hated it - I felt that they were pushing you to get to the Rx weight as quickly as possible. That doesn't happen here. The coaches watch you like a hawk here - you'll be well supported. There is never any pressure to hit a weight other than what you can safely do on your own. The gym even encourages you to scale the weight down to get the movement patterns first to prevent I just, and to rocket your growth once you've learned the skill. Early morning classes with Chris are fantastic and he keeps it fun while also pushing you. Highly recommend giving CrossFit Athletics a shot!

I joined CrossFit Athletics in July, and I’m already seeing significant improvements in my weight loss and overall fitness health. The workouts are challenging but can be easily scaled to match your fitness level, making it perfect for anyone. The coaches are supportive, and the community is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a real change in their fitness journey!

I‘m new to crossfit and to Pittsburgh but I feel so welcomed by everybody. All of the coaches and members are so nice and supportive! And the trainings are also great. If you’re new, you can break down the more challenging things and adjust it to your own level. I’m curious about how far I can get on this journey :)

I joined this gym last month and it’s been a great experience so far! I had zero experience in CrossFit and always felt intimidated by it. The coaches have all been very helpful and make the classes fun! Erica did a great job teaching the concepts in the foundation classes! The vibe of the gym is fun and welcoming and gives you an outlet to learn new skills and challenge yourself!

I worked out at CFA while visiting Pittsburgh with my wife in August 2024. Overall a great facility in an historic building in South Side Flats: the New Brewhouse 1950, a part of the once thriving Duquesne Brewery Company. CFA has lots of floor space, rig room and equipment. Good parking on the street. This is a warehouse box: old industrial with big garage doors. (My only criticism is that the floor is slightly uneven, but this is unsurprising given the heritage of the building and a small quibble). While we attended an open gym slot, the coach on staff that day, Dylan, was very helpful, assisting my wife with her bespoke HYROX training plan. He ensured that a sled was available and provided my wife with a good space outside to push it as well as coaching tips. I will be back next time I am in the Steel City. Four of five stars only because I didn't attend a regular class and can't comment on the quality of the coaching. Otherwise, I strongly recommend.
