Great class
Amazing!
I joined this gym mid-winter, needing to change my health and change my life. The Altus team really helped me by holding me accountable to my goals. They are knowledgeable, kind, and supportive, and they foster an awesome community around them. Certainly the best gym experience I've ever had.
Great experience and an excellent facility. Staff was extremely attentive and helpful.
I have been going to Altus for over 2 1/2 and am very pleased at what I have accomplished. I am an older woman and now feel more confident about my personal self and level of fitness. Aaron has been a great trainer and all the other staff members are very supportive! thanks, Altus
I know myself well enough that if left to my own devices, I will fade out in gym attendance after 3-4 weeks. I chose Altus because it’s a private gym that really focuses on body functionality in addition to fitness. The classes are never more than 6 or so people, and going at 6am, the parking is free! The staff and classmates are all friendly and chill, zero icks. If you’re confused about form, ... More
I know myself well enough that if left to my own devices, I will fade out in gym attendance after 3-4 weeks. I chose Altus because it’s a private gym that really focuses on body functionality in addition to fitness. The classes are never more than 6 or so people, and going at 6am, the parking is free! The staff and classmates are all friendly and chill, zero icks. If you’re confused about form, have little to no idea about machines or what your body can handle, the coaches here are super duper attentive and friendly. They take the time to measure your body composition and measurements during your start up week, as well as shoe you every single piece of equipment used so you’re not intimidated. I chose the package that includes a private coach, and I feel very fortunate to have gotten Aaron. He’s a text away for any and all questions, and is gentle in his approach. TLDR- it’s a bit spendy, but you absolutely get your moneys worth!!! Less

Heavy Hitter is an intense but enjoyable class. Boxing is an awesome workout, and Aaron is an effective motivator with a great attitude! Jessie is also a wonderful instructor. Whether it's pilates or yoga, she always has a smile, enables you to have a great workout, and plays fun music during her classes. I highly recommend joining Altus! Less

I've been a proud member of Altus for nearly three years, and I can confidently say that it has become a fitness sanctuary for me. From invigorating team sessions to outstanding instructors, this gym has exceeded my expectations. I always feel welcomed by both staff and fellow members. The instructors at Altus are amazing. Their expertise, enthusiasm, and passion for fitness are evident in every session. They not only guide you through the exercises but also take the time to understand your individual goals, providing personalized advice, and ongoing encouragement. Their approach is both challenging and supportive, creating an environment where you can push your limits. Since joining I have run the Pittsburgh Marathon, completed the Tough Mudder, and run many races in-between. I would not have achieved these goals without the preparation work and motivation that I received at Altus. I recommend this place to anyone looking to achieve their own fitness goals. Less
I joined Altus as a birthday to myself after 20+ years of working out solo. My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner. The coaching is science-based and supportive. The members are welcoming and friendly to those of all abilities. It’s also great to support a veteran-owned business in downtown Pittsburgh. Five stars for the whole Altus experience.
Great individualized training program, friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I was visiting from Vancouver Canada and was treated so well. Very kind front desk service and the coaching during the workout was encouraging and helpful. The work out was fun! I was so glad I found them.
I have been working out for over 20 years. I often find that I drop off due boredom or not feeling challenged. I have been attending Altus for over a year and an half. I have found my “Health Home”.

I have been working out for over 20 years. I often find that I drop off due boredom or not feeling challenged. I have been attending Altus for over a year and an half. I have found my “Health Home”. I feel challenge and supported. I have maintained a steady workout regiment. The sessions keep me moving and developing. I often leave sessions spent. But, I am also wondering, “ how much more can I do the next time?”, The coaches are welcoming and encouraging. Greeting you by name and genuinely happy to see you. If you are looking to address health goals, or meet your next health milestone, or just looking for a “Health Home”…you are missing out, if you haven’t given Altus a try. Less
Love it here! I have always found it hard to constantly motivate myself to workout. But Altus makes it exciting. All the coaches are great. Jessica, Aaron, Cherise, Heather.. they treat you like family. I started with the 6 week shred program and loved the sessions so much that I became a member. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun and healthy lifestyle.
I have struggled with going to the gym for the most of my adult life. I used to dread the mindless workouts. Then I decided to try Altus Fitness.

I have struggled with going to the gym for the most of my adult life. I used to dread the mindless workouts. Then I decided to try Altus Fitness. One on one personal training was expensive for me so I took the group sessions. And honestly they are as good as one on one. I love the trainers! Aaron, Jessica and Heather that I have worked with. They are always available and very accommodating. And it’s never boring, they always mix it up. I never thought I would be one of those people who would look forward to going to the gym, and here I am. If big machines is what you are looking for, this is probably not the place for you. It’s more of a functional training here, more emphasis on technique and endurance. If you are a lazy bum like me, and are looking for some motivation - this is the place for you ! Less
Altus Gym Is A Great Experience. If You’re Looking For A Gym Who Is Welcoming Without Any Judgement And Is All About Fun While Exercising Then Join!

John and his team are truly fantastic. I travel a lot and have been in many a gym, while many provide great service, few are welcoming, and almost none ever feel like YOUR home gym, particularly when passing through. Altus welcomes clients like family (even strangers only getting a week of service). It quickly felt like home and people rooting for my success. Their group training was phenomenal and challenging, coaches, like Aaron, kept you motivated whether it was 6 am or 6 pm. The space was always clean and all of the equipment thoughtfully selected and placed. Sessions were spaced and time well throughout the day making them accessible even with work. Everything together creates an environment and a team that is desired in the fitness world and rare to truly find. Well done. I look forward to dropping in on my next stay in Pittsburgh. Less
I’ve been working with Altus for about a month now. This month has been crazy for me, with a move and host of personal stresses. The staff at Altus have been understanding and accommodating when I was physically unwell. If you are looking to move your body and get some real support in doing so, Altus is a great place to do it! I’m looking forward to more time here.
I’m new to this process, however, the team at Altus is helping me navigate breakthroughs in things I never knew about this process.
I went to this gym for a year. The coaches are awesome, the classes are challenging and fun, and I got back into the best shape I'd been in in years. I wish I had the time to commute from my new neighborhood but its just too much with school. Highly recommend this gym.

so far, so great! lost 4 lbs in my first week 👏🏾
The onboarding process here is very thorough; after a while looking for a gym that suits my needs, I finally signed up with Altus. They clearly care about their clients and about the kind of community they want to create. I'm fully on board and excited to start my commitment to better health with the expert coaches at Altus.
Best gym ever!! Altus helps me show up everyday to better myself!
I found Altus looking for a gym and didn't expect getting coached and join classes but I am happy I did. The coaches motivate you, want you to succeed, they reach out, and keep you accountable to a point where you see so much progress that you surprise yourself. Happy to have found this place, its team, and the other members!

Almost ONE YEAR later, I started getting recharged for protein shakes I had already received receipts for? They stated they were "closing out negative accounts” because of staff mistakes - but how would you not first send out an email informing account owners of their mistake and possible charges?! Instead they just put them all through months later?? When I contacted the owner to correct this, he was not helpful. Even if he had forgotten to charge a couple drinks - HOW are you going to try charging someone months after they are no longer a member? Take the loss, I think you can handle the $7 when I payed hundreds. Very unprofessional. I had to urge them to remove my card from the account. Only positive is that the classes were genuinely good, coaches were easy to get along with, and the bath/changing rooms were nice. Everything else about this business and their "earn your free" system is not great. The 6 week "intensive" program is very expensive and disorganized. Even though I stuck with it, I was not satisfied. After the 6 weeks (which ended up being more like 8 weeks because I think they were just disorganized?), I voiced my dissatisfaction with the program. Some issues included barely receiving any comments/advice when uploading meals, not having weekly coaching meetings as we were supposed to, and not getting any type of re-assessment at the end of my time there. They even tried charging me again when I asked for a reassessment towards the end of the 6-8 weeks. Instead of allowing me to get my money reimbursed as promised, they pushed for me to stay for another 6 weeks (without having to pay again at least) to see improvement. Although my coaches were nice, you can tell they were overworked and again my training somewhat fell through the cracks. At the end, I just let them keep the money and decided not to continue. Would NOT recommend. tl;dr: The programs are disorganized and coaches are severely underpaid and under-supported. These coaches really were nice and wanting to help (although maybe a bit inexperienced and overwhelmed?), the 2 stars is ONLY because of how badly the business is run from the top down. REPLY: Oh and apparently they call their previous patrons liars now? Real nice, very professional. I actually have receipts of the previous and current charges from Altus (which I have sent to you), so please do not call me a liar for sharing my concerns in a review (kind of what reviews are for?). Also, I did stick with the program, making 3-5 classes weekly as well as exercising from home. I posted meal after meal, responded to every message. Nick's advice about eating more protein was also helpful, and I am still incorporating that. I have since lost over 30 pounds and gotten stronger. So do not imply that I am not putting in the work. THAT is the lie. If staff was overworked, it is because you offered too many "intensive" programs out around the same time, knowing you had few coaches available. That is NOT on me. NEVER did I ask for more time. It was OFFERED because of how much YOUR GYM messed up, and in the end I decided not to continue (I was not cut off? lol). The program was NOT well-thought-out when I took it. Maybe it is better now? (The owner did admit that they made some changes after receiving my feedback in December so, possible?) What I was not satisfied with is this right here, the disorganized and unprofessional nature of this business. And you just proved my point with your reply. Any gym I go to in the future, I hope they are more professional and that the owners treat others with a bit more tact and understanding, instead of trying to make examples out of them like this one decided to do here.

The environment is positive, goal-oriented, and very detail-oriented. In no other gym that I have visited or taught at, have I seen the coaches put so much care and attention to detail into each individual member. You are NOT just another number at this gym, truly. I have been inspired by watching the members challenge themselves and try new things without question, and trusting that the coaches have their best interest in mind (because they do!). If you are looking for a gym that CARES about your personal health success, you MUST try Altus. There is, truly, no other gym that I’ve coached or taught at like it! Less
As a professional umpire, Altus and PT Aaron, help me maintain my physical preparedness for a 100 game season. Their commitment in assisting me is greatly appreciated!
love it here!
Great spot! They have excellent equipment and a friendly staff!
Very professional to work with,, great people.
I am a new member and I am enjoying my experience very much! From the environment to the coaches I decided to join during my trial week, and I am excited to complete my fitness goals here!
Altus is outstanding, and the coaches and other members all make you feel at home right away. If you're considering a new gym but are not looking for the typical setting I highly recommend checking them out! I was paired with coach Aaron and cannot recommend him enough - a great guy and good at both meeting you where you are and pushing you to do more!
I joined this gym a few months ago. It has been a fantastic experience. Everyone has been great and very helpful. Aaron is a very good trainer. Best money I have ever spent

Nick is extremely kind and down to earth. I look forward to what these next 6 weeks will produce! The facility is jam packed with all the equipment for total or targeted body fitness and exercise. It was very clean, well organized and had a fun & uplifting atmosphere. During the consultation I learned that Altus is extremely detail oriented and structured when it comes to working with individuals regarding their health goals. They have very unique steps in place to really gauge what plan is best for you & a great way to customize a plan that’s fitted for you to follow. While providing coaching & accountability along the way. If I had the funds at the moment I would’ve did the paid program, but right now isn’t the best time. It was be amazing if the cost of services to physically work out inside the gyms were a little more budget friendly. Especially with the current economy & status of things. Less

I love this gym so much! Great atmosphere and great knowledgeable people! Ive lost weight and kept it off thanks to the team at altus; they’ve thought me ways to form good habits and are always there if I need help and have questions
Great coach - Aaron - who provided a variety of exercises coupled to a brisk pace.....felt rejuvenated afterwards.
Best personal training Gym I have used. Wonderful staff and atmosphere.
I like the gym. Everyone there has been very nice so far. Took a sample class today with James Knight. He did a good job with me and Miss Sonia. He was very patient, silly, but taught us some good exercises. When I can finally afford it, I hope to go back and get an actual membership. Check it out. The members I’ve met said they love it, so Altus must be doing something right. :)
I really liked it and can’t wait for my next session
My 6 week program is nearly finished and the results I’m seeing are incredible. I’m meeting goals, I’m stronger, and the coaches do an amazing job at tailoring their sessions to my unique set of needs.
Overall a fantastic experience. The Coaches at Altus are invested in seeing you succeed with your fitness goals. I would highly recommend to anyone, experiences or not, wanting to get in the gym, learn about your body, and maximize your potential.
Altus is a great place To train and Coach Nicholas is the best!
I had a great experience at Altus. The trainers are super knowledgeable and encouraging. The overall atmosphere of the place is great to be a part of.
Aaron's n is outstanding
LOVE Altus! The supportive staff go above and beyond to help you reach your goals!
Awesome place. They have a great approach to fitness, focusing on your overall fitness and health. The trainers are great, encouraging you to push over your boundaries.

I trained with Aaron at Altus for about 3 months and it was one of the best decisions I made for myself and my health!! Everyone I met was friendly, fun, and encouraging & that helped me to recognize a strength I didn’t know I had. I was definitely pushed out of my comfort zone, but it was so worth it in the end !
Great place if you really want to change and need that extra push like I did.
Awesome gym and staff!
Great place that has everything you would ever need to train.
It’s been an amazing journey so far. The people and their process is unparalleled.

They are under equipped and overly priced. $300 down payment and $150 a month ??? Not worth it ! On top of they pressure you into buying all of these expensive protein powders and supplements that are crazy expensive. HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND. Less
I have had such a great experience at this gym so far! I just recently started the 4 week transformation program with Aaron and have been nothing but pleased so far. The gym is very professional and welcoming!
Best gym I've been to . I Highly recommend it
Great trainers, great facility, great classes -- I've had an excellent experience and look forward to coming here each time.
I normally hate working out . . . too boring . . . too repetitive . . . too lazy. Altus fixed all of that for me. Huge thanks to the extremely knowable and motivating team at Altus!!!

New things scare me. It’s likely why I find myself in the situation I’m in, and growing older has intensified the willingness to create a new adventure in my life – which was magnified greatly by the pandemic. I walked passed Altus a thousand times to get to my car or to grab lunch. At some point I felt an urgency to get back into shape, and I made an appointment to come in to view the place and get a sense of what this gym is about. On my first day, the coaches greeted me warmly by name. That’s a huge deal to me because my first name is difficult for most people to pronounce. I was tense, but James helped me lighten my attitude. I’m so serious all the time! The coach I was assigned to, Aaron, helped me grow in many ways. I appreciated how his responses were in care, with extreme thoughtfulness and was consistently positive. His guidance with exercise and nutrition went far beyond the exercise and nutrition realm – the guidance was more like altars to rest on until the next challenge came up. The program helped shed my old perspective on my life and created a safe place for me to exist and push myself. Last, not least—the owner John took the time to share some insight with me. I keep his advice close and I’ll share it with you: 1. We become what we practice. 2. With rewarded success we get stronger, with every accepted failure we get weaker. 3. Perception is the basis for all of our thoughts. I highly recommend this gym to ANYONE. If you want someone to walk with you, consider this gem (or gym) in Pittsburgh! -LeCrisha Less
Altus is amazing! I love the culture and the selection of classes that they offer. I love routine and with the classes, I’m able to get an effective workout in for less than an hour. Works perfectly with my schedule outside of the gym too. 😊

It’s clean, has great locker rooms, and other amenities. I've also noticed huge improvement in my cardio and mental toughness, and it's such a fun environment that I'm genuinely excited to go work out every day and I'm always in a better mood when I leave!

Whether it’s personal training or their small group sessions, I get a great workout and leave feeling like I’ve made some progress. They’re here for everyone to keep getting better, no matter what level you’re at already, and it’s a great place to be. Don’t wait to join, do it now! Less

Wonderful gym. Great staff, they are all so knowledgeable and help you with anything you need especially to reach your fitness goals. The owners and staff are very welcoming and caring, much better than a chain facility such as Planet Fitness, etc.
Excellent facility and staff. If you you are looking to take your workouts to the next level in a great environment Altus is your gym!
Honestly the best gym I’ve ever been too. It has variety and kick a** workouts but my favorite aspect is really the community. You’re a part of something when you are a member there.
Great facility, helpful staff, fun classes, and a positive atmosphere. 10/10 recommend for people at all experience levels.
One of the best gyms I have ever been a member. They truly care about their members and constantly push and support us all no matter the level of fitness.
Very professional, fun team. They truly try to help all people at all experience levels.
Great trainers who encourage you. Great work outs!
From running to lifting (and everything in-between) its a great work out atmosphere with highly training and supportive staff!
I really enjoy the classes here. Clean bathrooms and good location downtown!
Joined Altus 2.5 months ago because I was tired of working out on my own without getting results. John(badass army ranger/intelligence officer retired) and Shari his wife(the owners) truly care about your progress and really want you to hit your goals.

Joined Altus 2.5 months ago because I was tired of working out on my own without getting results. John(badass army ranger/intelligence officer retired) and Shari his wife(the owners) truly care about your progress and really want you to hit your goals. When I joined John spent at least 1 hour with me to make sure they could help and more importantly make sure I would get the results I wanted and the coaches have been very helpful since that initial consult. I really don’t like exercising but with Altus I find myself wanting to be there and push myself as much as I can. All the coaches are super nice, knowledgeable, fun and are also super committed to your success! Shout out to Pete, James, Heather, Ben, and T money! Love them all! As for my own results I already have better posture, a thinner waist line, less pain, better movement, I’m more flexible and more importantly I have more energy for life, golfing, fishing, and my career. I’ve never been a gym guy and I really can’t say enough good things about Altus because it’s not just a gym… it’s a results driven team of accountability partners! Thanks Altus!! Less
Awesome gym! The entire staff has so much knowledge and are extremely welcoming. The classes are great and the instructors make sure you get the most out of every workout. 10/10 would recommend!
Altus is a great place for physical activity in the Pittsburgh Area. With the instructors there, you will get some of the best training around.
Love this gym. I've been a member at 5+ gyms over the years and I've finally found the gym for me. Never have the staff and fellow gym-goers been so friendly and welcoming. I've been a member since mid-January. They gave me exactly what I was looking for with nutrition and workouts. They told me what to eat and what to do which made it easy to reach my goals.

Great facilities with nice people. If you are in town trying to find a good drop-in class this is a great place to try!
Knowledgeable coaches, great equipment, challenging classes and amazing atmosphere.
Unbelievable equipment. Great staff and challenging classes.

Knowing that this gym is a place that athletes come to train was somewhat intimidating but once I got in the gym and took my first classes (boxing with Coach Jordan and ride and climb with Coach Heather - tough and highly recommended classes) I knew I would keep coming back. The classes are tough, as I said, but the coaches are so motivating and there pushing you through mental blocks throughout class. Once you’re done, that feeling of accomplishment washes over you and you’ll feel the need and the desire to schedule that next class! State-of-the-art equipment, spotless facility and coaches and faculty who are invested in seeing you be better, healthier, more fit person. I’m very glad to have found Altus-HPO. Less

Altus has transformed my approach to fitness, strength/movement training, nutrition, and being well – joining their community was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Group classes are fun, educational, and support ALL intensity levels for which you want to train. This is not an ordinary gym. Altus trainers pay a lot of attention to their clients and excel at making you feel a part of their incredibly supportive team. Regular clients are friendly and supportive of each other in a welcoming environment. You can choose to work out on your own or immerse yourself in everything that Altus has to offer – if you walk away from this place unchanged, you didn’t fully utilize the resources they offer all of their clients. The Altus team really wants each and every one of their clients to succeed and will challenge you every day. Access to the most modern fitness equipment in an incredible space with personalized instruction - in the heart of downtown – places like this don’t exist at their price point. You won’t find another place like Altus! Less
All of the coaches have been super supportive and helpful as I've gotten back into working out regularly. They are great about customizing the workouts as needed based on skill level and get to know you and your goals personally.
John and the rest of the team at ALTUS are amazing. The level of professionalism combined with the convenience of it being downtown Pittsburgh is top notch. Every trainer at this gym is motivated only to pushing you into the best shape of your life! im proud to say im a Altus member for life.
Altus-HPO has it all. Great leadership and a great staff. If you are truly looking to make a change, look no further than Altus. Aside from having world class training and facility, the value is insane. Would rate higher if possible!
Great experience all around. The Altus team is extremely knowledgeable, with their wide variety of classes structured around proper technique and maximum output. Facilities are impeccably clean as well. Very glad I joined!
This gym has it all... Very knowledgeable staff, great equipment and a diverse class lineup. Couldn't be happier about making the decision to join this gym.

John and team does a great job pushing everyone to the appropriate limits, all while keeping a clean and friendly space. I would recommend Altus to anyone looking to get in shape.
Awesome experience here so far! Instructors are knowledgeable and work with you based on your individualized skill ability. Clean. Open plenty of hours during the week and many classes to choose from.
There is no better way to start your day than with a group class (or two) at Altus. Even at 5am, they never fail to personally welcome you with a smile.

Cherise and John are great. The place they have is awesome. Try it you will not regret it.
Altus is a great place to work out. I have never had the benefit of better trainers and staff. Thanks Altus!!

The classes are great, but I particularly enjoy the open gym. You can apply what you learned from their trainers/classes throughout the week during open gym times. Further echoing what other have been reviewing about the facilities/equipment, they have a diversity of unique equipment that is state of the art and well maintained (Plus really nice/clean locker rooms). The overall gym is fantastic, but what really distinguishes Altus from the other gym’s I have belonged to in the past is the quality of the staff. John/Cherise and their team have created a very welcoming environment, focused on helping everyone (beginner to advanced) achieve their specific fitness goals. I would consider myself a beginner with a goal of strength training, and the trainers I have worked with at Altus have provided great instruction/programming to help me achieve my strength training goals. Even during open gym, John has given me advice regarding proper technique and mechanics of the deadlift to optimize strength and prevent injury. If you want to give yourself the best opportunity to achieve your fitness goals, you definitely need to check this place out! Less
Becoming a member at Altus was one of the best decisions I made in 2019. Working out at Altus regularly has made me physically and mentally stronger. The facility and level of coaching is the best I have ever experienced. The downtown location is ideal for working professionals.
John and his team at Altus are phenomenal and knowledgeable. Tons of variety and expertise to help you reach your goals. Plus, the workouts are absolutely wicked!

Great gym with friendly trainers and staff. Love the cycling and versa-climber classes, and the heart-rate monitors help customize each class to my fitness level and keep me motivated.
Altus is without a doubt the best gym in Pittsburgh for multiple reasons. Highly qualified staff, the best and newest equipment, engaging classes, and fantastic overall facilities. The Altus team is ready to help you meet any goal you have and then some.
Amazing gym, amazing coaches, amazing members. Can’t say enough good things about this gym! Such a convenient location for people who live or work downtown to get in great shape!
Love this place! These classes are the perfect addition to my current running regimen. I hurry in at lunch for a quick class. The coaches never disappoint with a tough workout and then I get a quick shower in the clean locker rooms before returning to work. It’s a great break in the day!
This is without question the best gym I've been a member of. The team at Altus is dedicated, knowledgeable, engaging and just plain fun. The variety of classes and equipment makes for a very challenging workout that never gets old. If you're looking to get out of the usual gym routine and do something new then THIS IS THE PLACE.
Staff is knowledgeable, approachable, down-to-earth, and customer focused. Classes are fun, well organized, and an effective use of time. Open gym is my favorite - I can combine a circuit workout in 20 minutes that would otherwise take an hour at a busy gym. Also worth noting that the bathroom area is very clean; this should not go unappreciated.
Great facility and incredible coaches!
I really enjoy working out at this gym. All of the instructors know who I am and what my exercise goals are. All class attendees are encouraging and supportive. I am ALWAYS challenged. Love it there!
Great community of trainers and athletes. I’ve learned a ton from them.
The workouts that I have had here are 2and to none. I have seen better results than any facility I have been to in 15years
Easily the best gym in Pittsburgh. Nothing but great things to say about Altus. The staff is incredible, the owners genuinely care about you progressing, and the facilities/workouts are absolutely top of the line. If you’re looking for a place to be a part of a community and pushed to be better, this is the place.
At times finding the time and even the energy to workout has been difficult for one reason or another, but the different classes, times, and instructors at Altus-HPO have allowed me remain motivated and in good condition. Looking forward to my 2020 fitness goals and I know that Altus-HPO will be a big part of them.
Gym is extremely clean and staff is very welcoming! Would recommend to everyone!
Great gym! The facility has incredible equipment, friendly staff and intentional workouts. Had a great class and will return every time I’m in Pittsburgh😃🏋️♀️
The staff there really care about their clients! Very refreshing!

Also was never busy when we went, It was like we had the gym to ourselves. Highly recommend. Less
I did a few trial classes to see how I liked Altus and was hooked! Equipment is high-end and having great coaches to guide you to get the most out of every work out is fantastic. Class sizes are smaller so you get personal attention and the other customers are all great and supportive which encourages me to get to the gym!
Great class options, helpful attention from the staff, and awesome workouts!
I tried out Altus for the first time this past weekend and I will definitely be back. The staff was extremely friendly, the boxing class kicked my butt, and I left feeling stronger than when I entered. The downtown location is also very convenient and easy walk over from the Strip District.

During my visit, I had an impromptu one on one session with Hailey, who instantly made me feel comfortable and showed me how to use many of the gym strength building and stretching tools. I also took a boxing class with Benjamin, who ran a dynamic and perfectly paced class. He was careful to account for the group’s varying skill levels while consistently challenging us to build greater endurance. It’s an incredible opportunity to have a former pro boxer as a fitness instructor, and this is one of the key factors that helps Altus stand out above other local gym options. Less
This is an amaizing place to work out at. Clean facility with real professionals. You will get the work out you need and also learn so much about your body! Everyone wins!
The best Fitness platform that I have ever experienced! I have lost 15 lbs. in less than three months ! And that's weight that will stay off. Cherise and John have made this facility a truly wonderful experience and all the staff make you feel as though they all care and want you to succeed!

Altus gym was a fantastic drop in experience for myself and my 3 Crossfitting friends. We had the facility at our leisure and all of the equipment was well kept, clean, and organized.

Nobody gets a "what are you doing here" look when you walk in. The staff is always happy to see me. 2. The ENTIRE facility is spotless. Everything from the exercise mats to the showers and toilets are CLEAN. The Virgin Mary herself would be proud to workout here. This is probably the only gym where I have no fear of getting MRSA. 3. The owners invested in top of the line, state of the art equipment. You have not only the highest quality equipment to use, but the newest technology which tracks everything down to the last calorie. 4. There is no "cool kids" table like there is in so many CrossFit gyms around the city. Everyone is given the attention the need and are paying for. 5. All workouts are designed to be a highly efficient use of your energy. Yes I just wrote that. You will get an outstanding workout which will yield exceptional results (provided you go consistently) and you will feel energized, not incapacitated, at the end. You are also able to go at your own pace. No one is pressuring you to keep up. 6. The gym is versatile. If you want to come in on your own to do your own workout you can. Every CrossFit gym says the have an "open gym" time, but that's dependent on whether or not someone signs up ahead of time for the open gym. 7. Location is perfect for anyone who lives or works downtown. Everything needed to have a good workout downtown is available here for you to come in a the time you want, get in your workout, shower up and head to/back to work. That is all for now. I believe Altus-HPO is a credit to the city of Pittsburgh, and I endorse both the gym and it's staff with enthusiasm. Less
Love this gym...Spinning and the Versa Climber are my favorites...recently a Ride and Climb Class started, 20 minutes of each.....former spinners and new spinners have joined the group....GREAT workout! For those of us who sit behind the desk all day.....it’s awesome!! ❤️

Altus is an amazing facility. The coaches are educated, engaged and fun! The classes are not just random classes, but a strategic program designed to help the members get better, stronger and reach their goals. It’s awesome!
I have been going to this gym for a couple months now and I must say it a really great place. The staff are truly great, inviting and extremely knowledgeable on what they are doing.

The amount of equipment is awesome. The option of dropping in and doing open gym or classes is great and exactly what I need.

Best gym in Pittsburgh! The individual attention each coach provides during and after class is like you have your own personal trainer! They have the ability to make a novice individual fitter in a few weeks. The knowledge and care by the trainers, heart rate technology, class structure, and equipment make it the best gym in town.
Altus is amazing. Probably the most complete gym I’ve ever belonged to — equipment is top notch, programming is well-considered, flexible for your individual goals, the facility is brand new and impeccable, and the nutritional coaching is phenomenal.
Awesome facility, amazing coaches, and the best class offerings/schedule I've seen in any gym.
Love this gym! Awesome staff and great classes!
Hands down one of the finest places work out in the city. The highly skilled team of coach's are professional and courteous to all the members at every skill level. They are willing to push you to your make while making you feel relaxed and welcomed. I try to do 3 days a week and easily burn 800-1000 calories per session.

Boxing versa climber run coaching and unique body weight workouts make each class new and interesting. Can't recommend highly enough. Less
I decided to visit Altus based after hearing rave reviews from two other women. I am so glad I did. I am a middle-aged professional woman with back problems and arthritis. My arthritis -- and therefore my mobility--was particularly aggravated on the day of my visit because it had been raining. I left feeling like a million bucks. I met with Dave for an assessment.

I decided to visit Altus based after hearing rave reviews from two other women. I am so glad I did. I am a middle-aged professional woman with back problems and arthritis. My arthritis -- and therefore my mobility--was particularly aggravated on the day of my visit because it had been raining. I left feeling like a million bucks. I met with Dave for an assessment. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. He had me do a series of tests and exercises to pinpoint the problems and address them. Even though I wasn't expecting much on the first day since it was just an assessment, I felt the benefits within the first 10 minutes. As the session progressed, I experienced a measurable increase in flexibility and mobility and a decrease in pain. I appreciatd the friendly atmosphere. This is a place for everyone -- from professional athletes (I spotted a football player) to ordinary people like me. This is not a meat market, and it is not pretentious. Other details: - The women's locker room is sparkling clean, spacious, and even a bit luxurious. It does not smell. - There is a bus stop across the street. However, I had no problem finding street parking. - There is a cafe across the street. This is nice because I can visit Altus with my friends and then get coffee afterward to socialize. I will definitely go back. Less
Amazing facility! Knowledgeable and friendly staff too!
Hands down, best performance training
Enthusiastic trainers, great facility. Altus has a great culture and seems to attract people that are serious about getting in or staying in shape without the weird cross-fit cult vibes and without coming off as pretentious. A great spot if you just want to hop in a class and get a quick workout in after work but If you are training for something specific or trying to fine tune a 5k time they c... More

A great spot if you just want to hop in a class and get a quick workout in after work but If you are training for something specific or trying to fine tune a 5k time they can go deep and help you build a plan for that as well.

The thought & planning in creating the Altus experience is without equal. I’ve spent 30 years working out and preparing for various levels of contests from marathons, strength training, & tri’s, but the trainers, programs and overall atmosphere of the Altus facility is the very best experience that I have encountered.

Genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors
1. Coaches are really friendly and helpful. They create a very welcoming environment. 2. The space is nice. It's new and clean / you want to be there. 3. The classes are so engaging. They are diverse and challenging. 4. Other members are kind and friendly.
I had a fantastic experience at Altus. The staff there are incredibly well educated and share their knowledge professionally and effectively. Def the future of individualized training in small group sessions.
Altus is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. The facility is brand new and has incredible equipment. There are different types of dynamic workouts available so you’re never bored! Also - the staff is wonderful!! I actually get the feeling that they all genuinely care about my fitness and well being. They’re all very friendly!
More than just a gym. I’m a former D1 soccer player and was in town for business looking for a dynamic and challenging workout with good people and community. Altus is the perfect spot...great trainers, equipment, facilities, etc. Will definitely come back next time I’m in town. I need to schedule more trips to Pittsburgh ! Wish they had this in my home town.
The gym is state of the art. Every staff member is personable and the workout classes are great!
Everyone was so nice and helpful! The heart rate monitors are great for tracking how hard you’re working!
My first Versa Climber class ended about 30 minutes ago, and let's just say, it's a miracle I'm able to type. WHAT.A.WORKOUT. And I mean that in the best possible way. Whether you're a novice or experienced gym-goer, I truly believe Altus is a fit for you. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and I didn't feel in the least bit intimidated.

My first Versa Climber class ended about 30 minutes ago, and let's just say, it's a miracle I'm able to type. WHAT.A.WORKOUT. And I mean that in the best possible way. Whether you're a novice or experienced gym-goer, I truly believe Altus is a fit for you. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and I didn't feel in the least bit intimidated. The facility is GORGEOUS and very convenient all around. I have a few joint issues, and am by no means in pique condition - yet, I was still able to finish (and dare I say "enjoy") the class. If the climbing class isn't your thing, there are tons of other opportunities. Altus is a MUCH needed addition to downtown, so sign up to try a free class while you can. You won't regret it. I'd give 10 stars if I could. Less
Beautiful gym, top of the line equipment, friendly and knowledgeable staff! Can’t say enough great things about my experience at Altus 👍🏼
Excellent classes that work with you at your level, but push you to improve in fitness, skill, and knowledge. Best trainers/coaches I’ve ever encountered. Top level equipment and technology you won’t find at other gyms. Went in with sciatic pain, and after an assessment by Dave am working my way to being pain free. Locker rooms are super clean, and offer more privacy than most gyms. Can’t sa... More

Dream come true for downtown residents and workers! As if the ideal location weren’t enough, the facility is state of the art, coaches are endlessly knowledgeable and encouraging, people are friendly. Love this community!
Incredible staff & equipment. Walked in and was beyond impressed by the atmosphere! If you are looking to improve your fitness & strength in downtown Pittsburgh I recommend walking in and chatting with the crew!
Great Gym, Great Classes, Great Experience. Finally a gym downtown worth going to. Couldn't be more impressed. Join soon as they are offering a great promotion! - If you could say I referenced you it would be greatly appreciated!
I joined Altus right when it opened and I have been so impressed! I have taken all of the classes and it’s tough to choose which class to take each day because I love them all! Every session has been both tough and rewarding and everyone who works there is so knowledgeable- I feel like I am in great hands. I’m looking forward to seeing how my fitness progresses.
