Fitness Factory is my favorite gym in Pittsburgh! It's an old-school bodybuilding gym located in Shadyside. This gym is always kept clean and any damaged equipment is fixed the next day. The staff and members are extremely friendly and always greet people with a nice smile. My favorite part is the unique and electric decorations all throughout the gym! Not to mention, their equipment is top-notch. FF has outstanding machines that isolate certain muscles from different angles. (perfect for bodybuilding!) I am proud to be a member of this gym because its uplifting atmosphere motivates me to show up every single day. If you are ever in the area, I recommend getting a membership or even just a day pass at Fitness Factory!

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!

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 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 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.

This is probably the best gym in Pittsburgh. It is always clean, never overly crowded, and the staff keeps in very well cleaned and maintained. I would highly recommend working out here!

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.

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.

If you're in town visiting and your hotel's gym isn't for you. Fitness Factory is the go-to place if you take your training seriously. Prices for visitors are great, I purchased the week pass at only 35 dollars compared to other gyms that don't even have any option close to that for visitors. They also have an option that can best fit the time you're in town for a membership just have to ask. The facility is kept very clean and organized but still has that rugged gym feeling. Have everything and more that you could want to hit you're full workouts. If you're looking for meals that are prepared for after your workout already they have it and have many different options as well as pre-work drinks and protein shakes options to make in-house. Do not hesitate to stop in. I'll for sure be coming back to train here.

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.

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.

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.

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!
