“Really great experience! Appears to be primarily female lead which my daughter is super receptive to. Great instructors all around. Extremely reasonable pricing and convenient class schedule. Intro class was 1 on 1 which eased all our unfamiliar minds. The little ninjas group (4-6 year olds) is a lot of skill focused games to keep them interested. Sibling discounts available.
Started showing them self defense. Really hard to watch and think about a 4 yo needing that but so important. Demonstrated it in a very safe manner. Taught when it was appropriate to use.
Highly recommend”
“If you are looking for a place that is more than just workout equipment, come here. The trainers are excellent and very encouraging. The environment is very relaxed. They offer personal training sessions as well as classes and independence. I have been working out here for about 3-4 months and this feels like a second home to me. It can be costly but it is worth the investment. You will absolutely not be disappointed.

Tedesco also does fun little scavenger hunts or challenges like this. I love to do these and always have such determination to get them done. Not only that but it’s gets you going new places and doing new things you wouldn’t have previously. I truly love this gym!”
“My buddy invited me to drop in at CrossFit Tantrum while I was near Pittsburgh, and the experience absolutely did not disappoint. From the start, the vibe was welcoming and laid-back in the best way. I jumped into open gym and got to throw down with some truly amazing humans—people who work hard, encourage each other, and clearly love what they do.
The atmosphere struck a great balance between intensity and community. Everyone was locked in, getting after it, but still taking the time to connect, joke around, and make a drop-in feel like part of the crew. That kind of culture doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built intentionally, and it shows.
If you’re in the Pittsburgh area and looking for a gym with strong energy, good people, and a place where effort and camaraderie go hand in hand, CrossFit Tantrum is absolutely worth the visit.”
““I was on the edge of diabetes. Today, I am sixty pounds lighter and healthier than ever.
Alina is truly the best trainer I have ever worked with. After years of trying without success, I finally achieved my goal and lost sixty pounds in just eight months in a healthy and sustainable way. She never put me on fad or restrictive diets. Instead, she taught me how to eat in a way that fits my life. I regained my energy, and all of my health numbers returned to the normal range.
Her workouts are creative, motivating, and genuinely enjoyable. I truly look forward to them.
Working with Alina did more than change my body. It changed my life.””
