I LOVE the staff and fellow clients at Faster Pittsburgh - its so hard to get out of bed to work out at 6am, but the chipper hello from Megan and a nice buddy to pair up with make it all worth zombie drive over. The classes are awesome because the exercises are in 1 minute spurts (you can do anything for a minute, right??) or 3 minutes switching between 2 exercises with a partner - this makes even the worst exercise (running) doable. The staff member running the class is always very motivating while counting you down and will walk around and help make sure your form / what you are doing is correct. They provide modifications and everything has about 10 levels you can tone up or down to fit your level or needs. Its able to capture personal fitness training in a group setting, its awesome! The Build Bar they have is also pretty great, the smoothies are delicious and they will make them during your class so they are ready to go when you are ready to go - aka the perfect post workout breakfast! Overall, the staff and other clients are the best part about this place - its a welcoming environment and everyone loves to see you be successful, whether it be the coaches excited you are coming to the classes you say you want to go to or the other clients pumped about pushing that extra rep in before the circuit ends!

Joining the EFX challenge at Faster last year changed my life. From the moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed by the staff who cheered me along my 8-week challenge journey. It is an incredibly elite group of trainers who are subject-matter experts in the areas of training and wellness. Id put them up against any trainer in the nation! Coach Jason DeRose pushes you to reach your goals and can motivate you to get up at 6 am and win each day! Kam Niskach leads one of the most kicka$$ hip-hop cardio classes on Monday nights too--plus P90X on Wednesday and Cize on Thursdays. Shes a Beachbody master trainer. The whole staff is outstanding! And beyond the staff, the other members are welcoming and encourage you on your journey. Ive met so many wonderful people at Faster. The EFX class format pairs you with another one of Fasters Finest so you can push each other through every circuit. Like Coach always says: "Gotta get that mind right to get that body tight." Try Faster! Change your life!

Fasters 21 day challenge was the perfect little "Get-over-the-inertia" program for me and a sampling platter of the different classes that Faster has to offer so I could figure out what kind of exercise routine would suit me best. This, because after 3 years of absolutely NO exercise, I needed a class to motivate me, challenge me and hold me accountable. Their classes do exactly that! The atmosphere is wonderfully welcoming (as opposed to some really intimidating and aggressively competitive atmospheres Ive encountered in other gyms). They make it clear that this is about YOU and you can dial the intensity of the exercise routines up or down based on your comfort level. The staff is so friendly, encouraging and genuine. My favorite class was the CIZE class which is a dance inspired cardio work out where in each class you learn a choreography. I just did not see the 60 minutes fly by which according to me is the best way to work out! I definitely would recommend FASTER and their classes!

FASTER Pittsburgh is AMAZING! This gym was designed for people of all ages and athletic levels. If you are NEW TO WORKING OUT you will be amazed at the kind, helpful staff that walk you through each step of your workout to ensure you are performing each move properly and that you are getting the most from your workout. You will LOVE the other members of Faster. There is no intimidation. Everyone treats each other like family. If you are looking to IMPROVE YOUR LEVEL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS or ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS when participating in a particular sport, then there is NO BETTER PLACE TO GO. The variety is simply amazing. Each day is filled with new adventures. You will quickly find that you have an increased level of self confidence and a new family of fitness enthusiasts! I would HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone. It has been a life changing experience for me.

I started going to Faster Pittsburgh approximately two months ago after many years away from a regular fitness program. It has been tough for me to get back into the routine, but I have been able to get back to the habit of getting up early and going to work out or to go to their classes. What I like most is the friendliness of the staff and the other members. I used to hate to go work out because I felt like if I did something wrong I would feel self conscious and the other members would look at me funny. This never happens at Faster. The staff is extremely encouraging, and the other members are always friendly and helpful. It makes a big difference when you are starting back to getting in shape and you feel like everyone is rooting for you. Jason, Megan and all the staff make it easier to get up at 5 a.m. to get it done. Thanks guys!

I decided to try Faster after having my second child in March 2016. I hit a plateau with trying to lose the "baby-weight" and I was getting pretty discouraged with my progress after this pregnancy. I was looking for something to switch up my workouts and Faster has been exactly what I was looking for! The EFX classes have given me a complete full-body workout. The EFX classes are adaptable for all fitness levels and are highly addicting! The atmosphere is contagious with so many people trying to hit their fitness goals. You will walk out of the class with a smile on your face and a great sense of accomplishment. Above all else, I want to thank the staff at Faster for making everyone feel welcome and continuing to motivate us to perform and get the most out of our workouts. This facility is incredible and I would recommend it to anyone!

I was introduced to FASTER by my running group about a year ago & Ive been in love ever since. I started off coming to EFX, but just recently started one of their 21 day challenge groups... Every single person that works there is so friendly. They remember your name & they make a point to create a relationship with you. They want nothing more than to see you succeed in health & fitness & they have been nothing but a blessing in my life. I cant say enough good things about this place - I would recommend it to ANYONE. Athletes, runners, walkers, anyone who wants to start their health & fitness journey.. this is the place to do it.

If you are looking for a way to shake up your fitness routine, this is absolutely the place to go. Faster is an incredibly supportive, welcoming and fun place to reach your fitness goals, whatever they may be. The various "challenges" offered are a great way to try out the offerings at Faster, as well as a great way to kickstart your routine. The entire staff goes above and beyond to challenge you, encourage you, and personally ensure that you are working to your potential. I would recommend Faster to anyone! Thank you for an awesome fitness experience!
