Not a cookie cutter gym. Shape Training’s gym is not filled with machines that require monotonous movements repeated session after session, it is instead staffed with professionals that tailor workouts to your needs and desires. Whether you’re a twenty something ready to take on a marathon, or a fifty-year-old wanting to keep doing the things you love, the trainers at Shape will craft a plan perfect for you. The atmosphere at Shape is welcoming and supportive. There are group classes if your budget precludes one-on-one training, however the personal training is quite affordable by industry standards. This is not a place filled gym rats preening in front of mirrors, but instead a lively space filled with people of all ages working towards their goals. My daughter was (and still is) an enthusiastic member of the gym and she encouraged me to take part in personal training with Sarah Holick. one of the owners at Shape. After a lifetime of confidence in my body’s ability to do whatever I wanted it to do, time began to take a toll on that certainty. Nagging questions about what my limitations were, a decline in flexibility and a knee that told me “no more high impact activities” drove me to begin an exercise program at Shape Training. For me, the emphasis has been on total body workouts, emphasizing functional fitness, but with enough challenge that I have seen a tremendous increase in strength and confidence. Ten “real” push-ups are pretty good for a 60-year-old broad! Sarah hits the perfect balance of pushing me beyond my comfort zone, while respecting body’s limits. A bonus is that she has a graduate degree in marriage and family counseling, making her a terrific confidant and friend. Our time together has been life-changing both physically and mentally. If your current gym has become a bore check out Shape Training for a fresh, effective way to reach your goals.

What an awesome place to work out!!! I’ve been going to Shape for a little over a year and it’s been the best! My husband and I do private sessions with Marty once a week and take classes regularly with all of the trainers. The setup and schedule for the group classes are great. Shape starts each class with a group warm-up and ends each class with a group cool-down and the time in between is action packed. Every class is different and not repetitive at all so I always feel engaged in the work out. Also, the jams are pumped so it’s a lot of fun! One thing to note is that each class only holds about 10 people so it’s a good idea to schedule in advance. Marty does a great job tailoring our personal sessions to our current ability but still pushes us to go further. He modifies different exercises for me vs. my husband based on our strengths. Marty definitely kicks our butt during each session but it’s always such a good work out and we learn a lot from our time with him. I’ve seen such great results and differences since coming to Shape and I’d totally recommend this gym to anyone!

I am very grateful I got turned on to this place, I could kiss my friend for getting me to try a class one day. This training facility is by far one of the best I have been to around Pittsburgh. I am dedicated to a fit lifestyle I love working out, I love lifting but the thought of your average group class made me cringe. I have been and belonged to many different gyms, studios and classes. This facility brings an edge to training like none I have seen around. It puts an athletic spin on the classes and it challenges you in ways that is essential to getting maximum results and this is something that is missing from most fitness classes. It isn't even fair to call it a class.. I consider even their group classes to be more like training. They make it fun with great music and many tools you can use to track your progress. Every trainer that I have encountered so far has been very pleasant and motivating. You can tell they truly want you to push your hardest and get maximum results. If your going to invest your time and hard earned money into fitness classes or a training facility I guarantee Shape Training is worth every penny. They have many options to choose from, I personally do a group class of my choice once a week.. (sometimes two). The group classes are limited so you MUST pre register because it is not uncommon for peak times and weekends to fill up but they have a waiting list... I have yet to have run into a real issue with this. They also have a great app that's extremely user friendly. It allows you to check your account, view details of the class, book classes, cancel class or add to a waiting list for a class. They also offer private one on one training. I do not do this option only because it is not in my budget, if it was I would have gotten that option but you cant win them all. Their classes are also pretty unique and innovative(descriptions are on the website I believe). I have not been this challenged in and or excited about classes in my whole life. My father use to body build and when I tell him about what I do in some of these classes he wishes he was young again (true story). Shape has a long term customer here. I already referred a few friends here an one cant stop talking it up . So this five star review is well deserved. I hope this review helps to get you to at least try it out. You will not be disappointed.
