What I Eat Before My Workouts

By Pittsburgh Fitness Project | January 15, 2019 |

What I eat before my workouts. Before I get into any major specifics, what I am about to tell you has come from years of trial and error as well as experience. There were times where I ate some things that I told myself I would never again before a workout. That’s because I noticed a major decrease in…

Six Reasons to Start A Gratitude Practice

By Pittsburgh Fitness Project | July 19, 2018 |

There are a lot of people recommending a gratitude practice. Ever wonder why? Ever been skeptical about traditions such as saying grace or telling others out loud at the Thanksgiving table what you are grateful for? I put off actively practicing gratitude for years. However, on my last airplane trip I was having difficulty with…

Why You Should be Eating Your Fats!

By Pittsburgh Fitness Project | March 1, 2018 |

Let’s talk about the dreaded nutrient known as fat. Some of you may cringe just hearing the word, as there is much debate surrounding this macronutrient. Do low fat diets really work? Are low fat diets even good for us? If fat is one of the three main macronutrients, why are we continually told it’s…

Nice clean space, friendly staff; I went for the first time with Jake today for personal training. He explained all the... exercises we were going to do, and demonstrated them for me. He also explained what muscles we were working and what form I should be having!read more

I'm a BUSY social worker (I work on average 65 to 70 hours per week between one full-time job and a part-time job in a... crisis center) so I supplemented the Pittsburgh Fitness Project with my home gym and the results are looking very promising. I can walk here and get to the morning classes and its been a great way to condition and improve my stamina. The staff are very welcoming and make each person feel appreciated.read more

Where to start? This place is perfect- clean, spacious, and welcoming. The trainers are amazing- knowledgeable,... helpful, and friendly. The small, structured classes are, as I quickly learned, exactly what I needed to be motivated and push myself harder and more consistently than I ever could have imagined. I have been wasting money for half my lifetime “donating” to gym memberships and dreading every second spent “exercising” with no results. PFP provides a free personal assessment, a free first class, and several affordable options to get started. I’ve never felt more comfortable, motivated, and confident, and I encourage anyone at any fitness level to give it a try. You won’t regret it.read more

I love this gym. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and the classes are fun and challenging. Because classes are... small, there instructors take a lot of time, particularly in weightlifting classes, explaining proper form and keeping an eye on everyone. This is huge: I've spent a lot of time winging it on weightlifting machines and having no idea if I was doing the right things.read more

I've been working out with Tom at PFP for 45 minute training sessions, two to three times a week for a few weeks now... and couldn't be happier with the investment. As a nurse who's only 30, I was already feeling the chronic pain of bad body mechanics and general weakness. I'm feeling stronger everyday and am looking forward to being a healthier woman! I have to take care of myself in order to care for others! So, seriously, thanks so much Tom/PFP. Please everyone stop in! Get started! �read more

I have tried many different gyms and workouts over the years, and until I started working out at Pittsburgh Fitness... Project, I never thought I would enjoy working out. I've been at PFP for over a year now, and that is the longest stretch of time I've ever committed to physical fitness. PFP is a welcoming, nonjudgemental, encouraging environment for people at all levels of fitness, and I highly recommend giving them a try.read more

I've been going to classes for about a year now, and that's probably the longest I've ever committed to a fitness... routine. Jill is the absolute best! The staff challenges you and encourages you to do 5 more reps, 5 more pounds, 5 more seconds.... But it's never too much. Even in the class settings, they get to know you well enough that it feels like a personalized training. Whether you're a regular weightlifter or barely workout, this is an amazing place to be!read more
