Find a Personal Trainer in Swissvale

I recently finished the 28 Day for Her Challenge. I’ve always been intimidated in the gym. Gyms can be daunting places for us plump folks! I generally stuck to cardio exercises believing I would lose more weight & become more tone. I have tried every fad diet known to man, and believed that if I wanted to lose weight, I’d have to restrict my calories to 1200 per day, give up dairy, sugar, and potatoes, and try in vain to ignore my impulses to binge eat. I am happy to report that I was completely wrong! Melissa & Gregory are very kind, patient, & encouraging, not just in the gym, but with their knowledge of training and nutrition. My fellow ladies in this group have also been very positive influences on me, and the community they all provide is welcoming. It’s nice to not feel like I’m doing this alone. If you are ready to make a seriously positive change for yourself, and are willing to keep an open mind and put in the work, I highly recommend Rys. I’m looking forward to continuing on this journey with them.

I had a bad core before I go to there but when I go to there then I got good core and I became good baseball player and the trainer is very nice!!

Ryan is awesome! Every training session is different and challenging. Definitely a great decision joining Pittsburgh Fitness CULT.

I’ve been going here for three years. It feels like a lot of money, but no other fitness community will make you feel a part of a family like Shape will. The friendships, the accountability, and the intensely satisfying workouts are worth it. The coaches and trainers are very knowledgeable, take care to correct your form during classes, and are socially conscious, many of them donating their time to volunteer efforts. Finally this is a community for everyone. The coaches and members are very diverse and welcoming of new people, regardless of size, shape, fitness level, age, skin color, gender, and background. Truly a one in a million fitness community.

Donald worked with the Texas Quidditch team during our 2015-2016 season and his training regime helped us become one of the fiercest teams in the country. Through weekly workouts both in the weight room and on the field, Donald's coaching led to increased strength, agility, endurance, flexibility, and explosiveness in our athletes. He consistently pushed us to our limits and helped us form a deeper bond by emphasizing team camaraderie during our workouts. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication, Donald!

I love Pittsburgh FIT! I have always been more of a cardio bunny, but I finally found a way to love weight lifting, too! :) Jodi, Jami and Amy are awesome, so encouraging, and can work with any fitness level!

I just started climbing a few months ago thanks to the encouragement of a friend who has been climbing longer than I've been alive. I've gotta say that it is the best work-out I've had while still being enjoyable and engaging that I've had. While the customer service can be shaky at most, I've never had a problem that wasn't quickly resolved. I found most of the regulars to be down to earth and willing to help work out a problem as they encounter them while climbing. One of the owners, has personally helped me climbing some of the more difficult climbs and correct my technique as needed. I've been saved a few times by the watchful eyes of the workers in the top-roping section who quickly saw the problem before we even started.Going all in, I've gotta say that while I'm a bit new at this, I think the Wall has been spectacular for what I get in return for being able to climb locally.

An excellent facility with all of the best equipment for performance training. The space is clean and impressive; the atmosphere is fun. Knowledgeable, friendly, expert trainers. Bryan Blackstone (the owner and my trainer) has pushed me to perform better than ever while helping to eliminate the pain I was previously experiencing. The in-house nutrition is top notch. Living in East Liberty, the location is convenient and easy. I cannot recommend this gym and this crew more.
