The fitness factory has to be one of the most unique gyms on this earth. As soon as I walked through those doors I knew the workout was going to be something different. The range of equipment they had was spectacular, old school machines, an unreal amount of attachments! If you’re from the Pittsburgh area or just stopping through this is definitely the spot you wanna check out! Huge thank you to Michael the owner for creating such an awesome space!

Clean gym , great equipments and awesome management. This gym is worth all the hype and definitely worth your bucks. The location of the gym seems tricky though as it is surrounded by amazing restaurants and ice cream parlors

I've been a member for a year now and very happy with the gym! It's a great value, even the month-to-month price. I like the vibe.. Even when I'm the only woman in the room with the power lifters, I feel totally comfortable. The owner seems like my kind of guy: friendly, invests in his gym and customers. (And like everyone else says, gym is always spotless.) Employees are friendly and helpful. I go after work and haven't found it too crowded: you'd never have to wait for a cardio machine, and maybe just a few minutes on the most popular other areas. I highly recommend!

Ultra clean gym with way more character than other well known chains. The staff here work really hard to keep the space in tip top shape and they are constantly cleaning something. Additionally, they are super friendly. The equipment is more than sufficient for resistance training. There are a few older machines, but 80 to 90 percent of the gear is newer. There are Several squat racks/cages and lots of other fun equipment. If you can't get a good pump in here, you are doing it wrong. I only ever went in the mornings so I can't speak to the after work rush, but there was hardly ever a wait for machines. Nor can I speak for the 24 hour access crowd either. Please consider this gym before signing up for the big chains. It is a neighborhood institution.

I joined Fitness Factory a few months ago after moving into the neighborhood and it’s been an all-around great experience. The lights and decor create a fun atmosphere, the staff is friendly, and most importantly, all the equipment I need for a solid workout is clean and in good shape. The ability to break down the yearlong membership fee into three payments was super convenient. And Sameer at the front desk was extremely kind and accommodating when I accidentally locked my keys inside the gym this evening. Looking forward to spending the rest of the year (and beyond) working toward my goals here. Thanks FF!

The Fitness Factory is everything I want in a gym. The gym provides you with great service, cleanliness and organization of all weights, plates and machines. I train very seriously and with great intent so I prefer the 24 hour access that the gym offers. The Fitness Factory has dumbbells that go up to 150 and several squat racks along side lifting platforms. The machines, both cardio and stationary, offer you a wide array of options for your workout. Your weight loss, bodybuilding, strength training, athletic performance and general fitness goals can be met here.

If anyone ever asks me where to train in Pittsburgh I will always tell them the Fitness Factory. Large assortment of cardio equipment as well as machines and free weights. The set up of the gym flows very well and the equipment is perfect for all types of lifters. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Ownership always seems to be looking to improve the gym. The fitness factory will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish my time there never ended.

Don't do a commercial gym. Fitness Factory puts way more effort to making sure every member is enjoying their time and reaching their goals. This is a small and dedicated gym with all the equipment you'll need. Always clean, open, and friendly. The culture is very inclusive and welcoming.

This is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve ever been a member of. The management (s/o my man Samir) do a great job with the upkeep and upgrades of gym equipment. The gym is extremely clean and organized and has a lot of authentic bodybuilding equipment that is hard to find in many commercial gyms around the city. I’ve enjoyed my experience so much that I’ve brought numerous other friends to join the fitness factory community and they too can agree that Fitness Factory is the best gym in Pittsburgh.

I've been to a lot of gyms in my life, more than I can probably remember. Two of them stand out as exceptional, Quads Gym in Chicago Illinois and Fitness Factory. From the moment I walked in I could tell this place was special. The staff at the front desk was friendly and signing up for the day was easy (which sadly isn't the norm at many gyms). The equipment I used was great, and I was almost sad that I wasn't doing a full-body workout seeing so many great machines. It's clear that Mike and the team at Fitness Factory are passionate about this place and care about the people who walk through its doors. If you want to be like everybody else, pick any gym. If you want to go to a gym that has a soul, go to Fitness Factory.

All the equipment you could ever want. Good electronic music and nice things to look at. The staff and members are all very friendly and people are on their grind. I feel super motivated when I come and it's helped with my consistency. Couldn't recommend more

This is hands down the best gym for strength training and cardio in the city. They have all necessary equipment (and some more) for basic lifts like squats, bench press and deadlifts etc. They have proper safety in place for racks and they encourage the use of chalk too. In addition, they have a lot of machines and equipment for complementary lifts that focus on other muscles in your body. Their cardio section is filled with many options as well. They take hygiene and cleanliness seriously. Their staff is friendly, and I want to give a special shout out to Sameer who was kind and helpful whenever approached. My only drawback was that I wish I would have found this place earlier.

Simplest way to put it: this is the best gym in Pittsburgh. Extremely welcoming and friendly staff. The gym is kept clean all day long. New machines are brought in frequently and ones that break are fixed immediately. In my many years of lifting I’ve yet to experience a gym culture and experience as the one fitness factory offers. Without question this is the best gym Pittsburgh has to offer and I’m proud to be a member at this facility.

I am new to the area and a runner who wanted to find a gym with a good variety of equipment for both strengthening and cardio to supplement my training program. The other day I was performing step ups using a barbell and was confronted by one of the employees telling me another person wants to use the barbell and proceeds to move the step I was using and kicks me out. I was only there for at most 5 minutes and was performing the exercise safely abiding by all the written rules. I don’t know if my unconventional exercise was not allowed in the facility but it was never explained. Horrible gym culture do not recommend to anyone.

Currently looking for a new gym in California and feeling frustrated with my options. Couldn’t help but remember the sessions I had at this place and looked it up to see how it’s doing. Haven’t been to this gym in like 3 years (disclaimer) but if it’s half as good as it was when I was there, it’d still be my favorite gym. Moved around several times since leaving Pittsburgh in 2020 and have yet to find a gym that made me as excited to work out as this one. The equipment, the energy, the staff, the lighting, the layout, the music, the decor - all of it top tier. Miss this place!

From when I first walked in I was greeted like a friend. Gym was very clean and well kept. Atmosphere was one of the coolest I have seen.Everybody in the gym is super friendly and helpful. The owner is a great guy and is willing to answer any questions you may have. The front staff was super nice and gave me a tour as well. If you are a student doing a rotation or just a student in general this is the gym to go to.

Have been going to this gym for a few months now and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The facilities are great, with a wide variety of cardio and weight machines. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The gym manager in particular offers help and encouragement when needed. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive with people of all fitness levels working out together. Overall, I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a supportive and well equipped fitness environment.

I just moved into Shadyside this summer and was looking for a good gym to commit to, I will have to say I’ve been so impressed with this facility. From the moment I stepped in, one of their trainers (alyda) was incredibly welcoming. She showed me around the facility and even gives me pointers on how to do certain exercises when I’m struggling. The place is also very clean. I see her vacuuming and cleaning any time I’m there so it’s very obvious why! All of their employees are very kind and super helpful ! Overall very happy with my decision to join here. Thank you to the staff of fitness factory, you really make it a pleasant experience:)

An Absolute Amazing Experience, my brother, buddy, and I are in town visiting Pittsburgh for the first time. The owner came out and Introduced himself to us, he was extremely welcoming and friendly. The GM was also very helpful. On to the facility itself, this has some of the most RARE bodybuilding and gym equipment that I’ve ever seen in one spot. You can tell they have taken years to build this collection, every where we turned, there was another classic machine waiting for us to use. The gym was in great condition, very clean, and high, top notch quality equipment. I suggest this gym to anyone and everyone in Pittsburgh, whether visiting or looking for a new gym to call home.

I stumbled across this gym after moving to Pittsburgh and I’m so glad I did. I love working out here. I love the atmosphere, the equipment, and the people that come here are awesome. Overall great environment and I would recommend it to anyone!

This is by far the best gym in Pittsburgh. I’ve visited the city off and on for the past few years and tried a number of gyms. Once I walked through the walls of Fitness Factory, I knew I’d never have to try another gym. The staff is top tier, it is always clean, and they have all of the equipment you’d ever need. Not to mention, if you ever forget your headphones, they play great music to motivate you. In the rare occasion that a piece of equipment breaks, they are quick to fix it. They regularly update equipment. The members are respectful and supportive of each other. Fitness Factory has become a place for me to de-stress and work on me in a comfortable environment. Thanks for all you do!

I've been coming to this gym for more than half a decade. I'll continue to do so as long as I live in the area. The equipment is clean and well maintained. The staff, as well as my fellow members, are all friendly. I recommend this gym to all my friends.

I love Fitness Factory. Since I came to Pittsburgh in August, I started going to FF and it is the perfect gym for me. It is super clean, the employees are super friendly, and you have a lot of equipment. The price is super convenient too. I am so glad that I have this gym near my house!
