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!“

“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!“

“Dropped in at the 5:15am class. Great people! I’ll be back next time I’m in town.“

“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 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.“

“Finding Fit4Moms was the best thing moving to a new area. It was intimidating at first, but the instructors, and other moms, were so welcoming. There's so much more than just a workout with crafts for the kids, and adult conversations for the moms!“

“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!“

“Everyone is friendly and helpful! This is the first gym that I actually *like* going to. Wonderful atmosphere, even better people.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Training Revelations is a personal training business owned, managed and run solely by Josh Wolinsky in his very well-equipped gym. He has not only all the basic strength training equipment, he also has special custom-made equipment and equipment for strengthening and/or rehabbing any area of the human body.

Before coming to Training Revelations, I did my research. I looked up countless personal trainers online, read their reviews, and interviewed a few. None of them felt like a good match for me.

I worked with personal trainers twice before in my life, several years ago. I hated working out. I knew it was "good for me," but I was not motivated so each training experience was short lived.

Finally, about five years ago, (at age 52), I knew that I needed to work on strengthening my body. I had begun to feel the aches and pains of growing older, and what would later become a diagnoses of inflammatory (autoimmune) arthritis.

When I met with Josh for our initial consultation, I could tell by his demeanor, the questionnaire he gave me, and his written policies that he was extremely professional, serious, and thorough in his approach and philosophies around strength training and overall wellness.

It has now been five years that I have been coming to Training Revelations. The mere fact that I have been strength training for five years is a testament to how excellent Josh and his thoughtful approach to wellness is. He has, and continues to develop customized workouts to help my entire body, to increase my strength and flexibility, to build my resilience and increase my knowledge of my own body and develop excercises and techniques to help myself. He has been helping me develop my training IQ. Josh has taught me self-myofascial release (SMR) techniques, foam rolling and many stretches that improve my quality of life and help me live an active life. When my arthritis acts up, or when I've incurred an injury outside of training, Josh has always been able to rehabilitate me. He has taught me that there is always something that we can do in our sessions that I will benefit from.

This includes mentally as well. Josh's approach includes "table time," where I have short breaks between exercises. During this time, Josh and I talk. He uses this time to counsel me on proper nutrition, healthy life-style habits, self-care, even setting healthy boundaries. His passion and objective are to teach me how to be my best self- physically and emotionally, He really cares and it shows.

I am absolutely so fortunate to have met Josh. I continue to benefit from his skill, knowledge, experience, dedication, passion, and his endless efforts to see me grow in my capacity for physical and overall wellness.

Josh has never been late once in the five years I've been training. He also has never once cancelled our session. He is incredibly consistent and dedicated to his clients. I see him twice a week. He has a unique sense of humor that comes out sometimes and it's delightful and quirky. He has an extensive collection of music and has expanded my music tastes. He's also willing to turn the music off it that's what I need.

Josh is an excellent teacher and an excellent communicator. He holds my feet to the fire when I start to slack off. He's not shy about calling me out when I tell him I'm not making good choices. He doesn't want to care more about a client's wellness than they care for themselves. This training is a partnership. Sometimes it's tough love and sometimes it's humor and gentle reminders, but it is always 1000% care, consistency, education, and positivity and inspiration that Josh pours into each session, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, and year after year. I'm so so grateful that Josh is my trainer. I'm now stronger mentally and physically that I ever have been, and it is la“

“I’ve known Andrew for years! He is the best in the business. Very knowledgeable and relatable. Always teaching us knew things and trying to find creative solutions. I refer all my friends to him.“

“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.“

“I've been a client of Touchstone Pilates for years and I can't recommend their hands-on, personalized approach enough. I first turned to pilates to help with some recurring hip pain and, like magic, Lisa and her team helped me work on my core and flexibility and the pain is gone. Touchstone Pilates is an investment in your long-term health - you deserve it!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This is truly the perfect gym. The setup and machines are perfect, the lore and vibe is perfect. It’s clean and you can tell everyone respects the equipment. So refreshing to see a gym with so much soul.“

“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!“

“Every time I use the facility it is always clean. Additionally the people using the facility do a good job of wiping down the equipment.“

“I love this gym and how spacious it is! The employees are so welcoming and willing to offer help in any way they can. The facility is always very clean and nothing is ever out of order. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area!“

“I was in town to compete at NPC Masters Nationals 2024, all I needed was to do a pit of cardio day before I competed and instead of making me pay for an all day pass the guys working there just let me do my cardio for FREE! So nice of them!! This gym is very clean, lots of equipment, spacious and great staff.“

“Many machines. Helpful and congenial desk staff. Colorful. Close to where I live. Accept Medicare Silver Sneakers and similar programs in lieu of fee. Nice locker room. Clean.“

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