Fitness Factory
Gyms · Pittsburgh, PA
About
Fitness Factory is best suited for gym-goers who want a no-frills, reliably inclusive atmosphere with real neighborhood character. It's the only gym in Pittsburgh with a bouldering wall, plus yoga classes, massage, and tanning. Member contracts are absent: no auto-debit, no hard sell. The owner has run the place for over 18 years. Locals appreciate the spotless space and friendly vibe. If you're near the Shadyside area, you could easily make a trip to X Shadyside afterward for a different scene.
Hours run 7am-9pm on weekdays, closing an hour earlier on Friday. Weekend hours are 9am-4pm, which means early birds may need to plan around them. Regulars know to respect equipment and each other. It's not for everyone, but everyone is welcome.

“Proud to be at Fitness Factory”
As someone who works at Fitness Factory and is part of the gay community, I'm proud to be part of this gym. It's a very welcoming place that does everything it can to provide an excellent environment for your fitness goals. We consistently bring in new equipment and keep the gym extremely clean. We do our best to accommodate each person's needs. I think the vibe is positive and encouraging, and I hope others feel that way too. I've been here for almost ten years and I'm proud of it.

“not so friendly”
I'm a member there and while the owners are fine, there are some real bullies who are members and tried to intimidate me because they didn't like my gym shorts. Ridiculous! The place has plenty of equipment but the hours are too short, so if you need to be at work by 8am you're out of luck. Good equipment, nice owners, but they have a bully problem and they won't kick them out easily because it's about the money.
