Knowledgeable trainers with your best interest in mind. Just got out of foundations (technical beginnings), and plan on continuing my weightlifting journey. I would recommend this gym to anyone around the area.

CFA is a friendly and supportive fitness community. I would highly recommend joining!

Started Crossfit here at the end of Covid and while I no longer live in the state, I'm so glad I learned foundations here. Staff are real people who want to help you every step along the way, even if you've never picked up a barbell and can't do a pull-up.

Staff are real people who want to help you every step along the way, even if you've never picked up a barbell and can't do a pull-up. Truly, anyone can do it and fellow members are just as supportive. Being surrounded my all fitness levels and ages in one class creates a very cool community that is non-judgemental and meets you where you're at. I didn't expect the amount of one-on-one attention I would receive, and while I enjoy my current Crossfit gym, the learning/growth at CFA is unmatched! Less

I have never done CrossFit before and was fairly intimadated by the process of learning everything, but CrossFit Athletics has made it really welcoming and easy. Erica in particular does the Foundations courses for new members and I would not have the same extremely positive CrossFit experience without her. I definetely recommend this place for those looking to get into CrossFit.

Great coaches! I really enjoy Erica and Chris’ classes. Came as a 0 experienced learner and making progress everyday!

I have tried several gyms around the Pittsburgh area, but Crossfit Athletics (CFA) is by far the most welcoming gym I have come across. Upon inquiring, Gabe, one of the owners, reached out to me personally to understand my fitness goals and explain the gym's dynamic and programming. The gym strikes a perfect balance between the rough/tough Crossfit vibe and maintaining a spotless facility with high-quality equipment. Every coach at CFA is eager to work with each member personally to ensure that they reach their goals. I am also a participant in the gym's Individual Design program (ID), where Jenn, the other owner, works closely with me on a daily basis to provide individualized programming, nutrition guidance, weigh-ins, and any other support I need to achieve my own goals. Going to CFA has easily become the best part of my day, thanks to the awesome coaches and the lasting friendships I've built within the gym community. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a welcoming, supportive, and effective fitness community. Less

Dropped in while in Pittsburgh for the weekend. Erica was an awesome host and coach. Members were very welcoming and friendly. Had a great workout.

Dropped in this morning while visiting from out of town. The two coaches (Erica and Christopher) were very welcoming and helpful... the community was warm and friendly. Very easy to drop in, and highly recommend joining this community if you are here for the long-term, and looking for solid coaching in a friendly atmosphere. Hope to make it back!

This is not your average gym or CrossFit box. Hands down, this is one of the most supportive and friendly group of people you will ever meet. The coaching staff is top notch.

They are patient and thoughtful with an eye (and ear) for constantly improving the member experience. The members are supportive and cheerful even at the early morning workouts! The facilities are first rate, including clean locker rooms and equipment. In addition to great classes they offer excellent personal training and nutritional counseling. I have been a member of CFA for 10 years and in today’s day and age that kind of loyalty to a gym (or any business for that matter) is rare. What keeps me coming back is the coaching and the community. If you’ve never experienced CrossFit or a community based supportive gym, I highly recommend you give CFA a try. You won’t be disappointed! Less

CFA is a gem. It’s filled with a team of people doing what they love, who are there to better themselves, and invested in your journey to do the same. Regardless of your athletic/fitness background, you’ll find a wealth of knowledge here and opportunities to compete everyday. Highly Recommend.

Pretty good.

Welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Great coaches and programming. Have made lifelong friends from here and have truly seen continuous improvements on my fitness journey. 5/5 ⭐️

Coaches are great! Very knowledgeable and have improved my form a lot since I’ve been there. Workouts are fun and everyone I’ve met at the gym has been friendly and supportive. Plus I’ve lost 15 lbs since joining the gym :)

I recently started CrossFit and CFA immediately roped me in! The members and staff make it such an inviting and encouraging environment. It is definitely the place to start (or continue) your journey.

Amazing gym and a great community!

Approx 7 years at this great place! Great people and a positive vibe. I like that people work hard but don’t take themselves too seriously. It’s nice to be up for anything fitness related knowing my training keeps me ready to take on new challenges.

I’ve been a member here for about three years. The coaches are very helpful and friendly. I feel that the owners of the gym genuinely care about the success of each member. There's a great community here.

Friendly coaches and consistent solid programming - would recommend.

CrossFit athletics has been my home away from home! I’ve been part of a couple box’s in the pittsburgh area and I really like this one. The coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful. They also do fun comps throughout the year that all members can attend and have skill sessions for those more difficult movements. I’d recommend CFA to anyone!

Wonderful place to learn CrossFit and work out regularly. Staff is friendly, prioritizes safety and proper movement over scores

I’ve been a member for 10 years and the programming has been great for me to stay in shape over that time but they have also adapted to my needs at different times. Recommend having a conversation bc you’ll be surprised at how they can accommodate for you.

CFA is not only the finest CrossFit gym i have been to but the finest fitness facility overall. The coaches deeply care about each athlete no matter that athlete's ability. CFA is a must stop for anyone who is serious about improving their health and fitness. It is also the funnest place i have ever trained!!

I've been a member for almost 4 years now. When I first got there, I was on the verge of having to have surgery on my elbow. With the help of Jenn to begin with, I was able to strengthen myself and I never needed to have the surgery. The gym is an inviting and inclusive place, the instructors are knowledgeable and helpful.

Easily the best CrossFit gym I've been to. Amazing community that is supportive and encouraging. The coaches and staff are extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and they are always trying to help you achieve your best. They are incredibly flexible for all skill levels. I highly recommended this gym for everyone!

I used to look for excuses to skip the gym. Now, I look for excuses to go to the gym. Great community, great competition. Coaches are held to a high standard, running fun but constructive classes. I've been going for 4 years and have improved significantly.

CFA has provided me every opportunity to be the best version of myself, whatever that has meant at any specific period in time. Gabe, Jenn, and the coaches are quick to remind me that fitness is not just about weight loss or putting up the highest score (although I have found success with both of those at CFA), but that it is also about being healthy, and fit for your life.

Besides the fact that the coaches are excellent, the space is huge, and the community is strong, the part I have valued the most is when I walk through those doors on a daily basis, I can leave the stresses of life behind, and focus on the task at hand - and have fun doing it. I would recommend this place to anyone, with any goal, and any experience level - these folks know how, and want to help. Less

I have never done CrossFit or most of the weightlifting movements but over time I gained so much confidence doing what I wanted to do there that I developed a body that I’ve always wanted. The environment is very open, welcoming, and supportive no matter what shape you are in. I would happily recommend to anyone interested in CrossFit to start here.

I have been into fitness for 17 years, even worked in the gym world, competed in bodybuilding, and I can honestly saying the coaching n staff is the best I have experienced. They adjust workouts if you have issues and help you hit your goals. The results will speak for themselves

CFA is a gym with caring owners and coaches that take a genuine interest in helping members to work towards whatever their goals are, whatever level they are at. The gym is spacious and well equipped. The members are welcoming and supportive, no attitude.

I am very happy with CrossFit. I’ve been working out for over a year and feel fantastic! I might add at 66, I look good too!!!! Lol

I absolutely love this gym, it is the highlight of my day getting to workout here. The programming is amazing, I have progressed and reached so many goals since joining CFA. The atmosphere is very inviting and not intimidating at all. Everyone is very kind and uplifting, and the coaches are all so supportive. 10/10 recommend joining CFA!

Great workout community! Class progression for every experience level. The coaches are very caring I went out for surgery and the week of my surgery I got a thinking of you card. It really meant a lot to me

Awesome location and great staff! Welcoming for beginners and experts alike.

I’ve been a member of CrossFit Athletics for more than ten years. In that time I’ve found the coaches to be extremely supportive, the members to be friendly and enthusiastic and the facility to be well-maintained and furnished all the equipment that I would ever need.

I’ve been a member for over a year and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. The owners/coaches are great and always go out of their way to help everyone. The members support each other and it’s a great community overall. If you are thinking of trying CrossFit for the first time or have been doing it for years, CFA Pittsburgh is a great place to join.

CFA is a great gym! I have been attending regularly for the past year. When I first signed up, I was very intimidated by the crossfit movements… after a few months I started to feel more confident in what I was doing, thanks to the awesome coaches! The coaches are super helpful , and members are welcoming!

I walked into CFA never having touched a barbell or even knowing what most of the movements are called. The staff are knowledgeable and welcome all experience levels. The equipment and facilities provide what you need. Now a member for more than 3 years I find the community and the support at CFA continue to challenge me and help me to meet goals in and out of the gym.

Seriously the most friendly and welcoming CrossFit I’ve ever been to. The coaching staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate, and they truly care about the success of each of their members!

I love going to this Cross Fit gym in Pittsburgh it’s always so inviting and friendly. Also very clean. I will recommend this to people in the future.

I've been a member since 2017. Great gym with a strong, welcoming community. Will reignite the fire of friendly competition that most of us haven't felt since high school.

Great place to clear your head and get swolle.

Visiting from our of town and did a drop in workout. Gym staff were super communicative. Coach Christopher helped break down the muscle up steps for me. By the end of class, I was able to reliably do bar muscle ups which is a huge development for me. Staff were amazing and gym members were equally as great and supportive. Would absolutely go back whenever I'm in town.

Jenn and Gabe have been and continue to strive for the best and work hard to help everyone meet their goals. I enjoy seeing their personal growth and always looking to improve collectively.

I would recommend CFA to anyone who is interested in evolving their mind and body and wanting to meet some really great people. Less

Great community with a shared interest in fitness. Very welcoming to all levels of athletes.

I joined CFA after getting burnt out on years of competitive powerlifting. It was a much needed change of pace and has made training fun again. More importantly I’ve met friends and found a sense of community that many other gyms lack.

Came to CFA as someone bored of a commercial gym and wanting to start somewhere fresh with a new challenge. Every coach that I interacted with not only put up with every question I threw their way but also took the time to make sure I understood what I needed to do. My fitness has improved consistently ever since I became a member and I have a new amazing community of peers near where I live.

CFA has been awesome for me both as an athlete and as a professional. I just started coaching here 2 months ago but it feels like I've been here for years.

I've been a member here since 2016. During that time I've met and exceeded every fitness goal I've set and made many new friends. Last year, CFA financed my L1 certificate so I could join the coaching staff, one of the best decisions I've ever made.

He has really gone above and beyond to be so helpful and has taught me so much! The owner, Gabe, really cares about the people that attend his gym and their progress toward their goals and is so down-to-earth, approachable, and encouraging. In case it’s helpful to share my background, I had never consistently worked out until coming here a little over six months ago. Growing up as "the fat kid" with asthma, I have a lot of negative associations and insecurities regarding exercise. My time here has been healing and provided helpful first steps in my fitness journey. The workouts can be intimidating, but everything is scalable. You will survive. It was a lot to learn at the start, but it gets less confusing. Many people here are impressive athletes, but they have largely been kind and welcoming to me despite my background and ability level. If you're like me, this place can serve as a valuable first step in lasting behavior change. Try it! Less

I’ve been to a handful of crossfit gyms, but Crossfit Athletics will forever be THE exemplary gym in every respect. My crossfit experience began here. A few years ago, I had no understanding of body mechanics or how my body could move. Even after the foundations training course, it took me almost a year for my anxiety to quell & for my colon to be at ease before coming to each class (intimidation fears). Since day 1, the owners Jenn & Gabe instilled confidence (in me) & preached this mantra of, “yes, you f-ing can!” which has rehabilitated me emotionally & physically over the years. From the stellar programming, to the equipment, to the supportive coaches, this gym checks all the boxes. Seeing the progress I’ve made in my strength & fitness abilities motivated me to keep coming back with a determination to be better than the person I was yesterday. Crossfit Athletics will always have a special place in my heart. Less

While I was in Pittsburgh I dropped into CrossFit Athletics. Really impressed by the trainers’ experience and knowledge on my goals and the care they expressed. Really loved interacting with the other members and instantly felt welcomed.

Everything I was looking for in a gym and so much more. Super responsive, caring owners that are incredibly knowledgeable. I also love that I feel comfortable working out here.

I joined CrossFit Athletics in July 2021 and it has been an incredible experience! The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, creating a welcoming environment for all fitness levels. The variety of workouts keeps me engaged and challenged, and I love the sense of community among the members.

Best crossfit you could ever ask for! Great community great service!

Love this gym! GREAT group of people and Jocelyn is a great coach! I was in Pittsburgh for a little over 2 weeks for work, and wanted to find a gym to work out at while I was there. Stopped here the first day with the idea that I’d gym hop till I found one I liked. Well.... didn’t end up going anywhere else. Fell in love with this place. Great setup inside with three double-sided racks (2 spots per side per rack - 12 total spots) with a nice big open space in the middle of the gym. They also have an “upper” area where they allow open gym time whenever someone is there (which is most of the time throughout the day). They’re also located at a nice spot where a 400m run is around the block they’re located on which makes running WODs easy. The people are great here. I’ve done drop ins where you’re the “outsider” and the men in the class act like they’re better than you and look at you as some type of a threat (as another man). Quite common actually. Not here at all. I was only there for 2 weeks and from day 1 I was made to feel like i had been there for years by not only the coach but the other people working out there. As far as the equipment, I’d rate it as 3.5 stars. They have everything you would need, but some of the stuff needs to be either refurbished or replaced. They also have very few bands to use. If you’re not a person that uses bands at all, then no issue but I use bands a lot for pre-workout resistance stretching and I didn’t have many options for different resistance weights. As far as the WODs, I find this to be very subjective. Personally, I prefer WODs to be varying and always changing. It keeps my body from getting used to a certain lift or working out a certain muscle group. My current home gym uses this varying method and I love it. CFA seems to do cycles. By that, I mean that they do generally the same thing every week but build each week however have some kind of variation albeit slight. And by generally I mean that they vary the WODs every week but they’re pretty much the same style. For example: September 10 (Tuesday) A1. Vups, 8-12x3; rest :30 sec A2. Bicycle sit ups, 10-18 alternatingx3; rest 1 min (controlled tempo) + Teams of two: (28 min amrap/one working at a time/split evenly) 80 cal bike 80 cal row 160 Du’s 60 cal bike 60 cal row 120 Du’s 40 cal bike 40 cal row 80 Du’s September 17 (Tuesday) A1. Vups, 8-14x3; rest :30 sec A2. Bicycle sit ups, 12-20 alternatingx3; rest 1 min (controlled tempo) + Teams of two: (30 min amrap/one working at a time/split evenly) 150 Du’s 150 Cal bike 150 Cal row September 24 (Tuesday) Teams of two: (35 min amrap/one working at a time/split evenly) 80 Du’s 60 Cal bike 60 Cal row + A1. Vups, 8-14x3; rest :30 sec A2. Bicycle sit ups, 12-20 alternatingx3; rest :45 sec (controlled tempo) You can start to see the pattern. On one hand, I can see the value of this as you can compare how much stronger you’re getting through out the cycle. If you like this type of workout schedule then this is exactly where you need to be. However as I stated earlier, my personal preference is to always change. Doesn’t mean I would knock down the rating at all because this was a nice change of pace from what I’m used to, it’s just a different style than I’m used to. As a whole, I’ll absolutely come to this gym again. It’s a great atmosphere and like I said earlier Jocelyn is a GREAT coach. As proof, (and don’t tell my home gym this...) I got my first EVER muscle up (ring) here based on not only jocelyn’s Advice but also two of the guys in the class (Bill and Matt). Additionally, I did my first true unbroken double unders here. I’d give it 10 out of 5 stars and will absolutely suggest this place to any colleague that travels to Pittsburgh for work and I’ll absolutely be stopping again if I find myself in Pittsburgh. Thank you Jocelyn and thank you CFA! Less

CrossFit Athletics is a great gym! Great community and great knowledgeable coaching staff. I recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to improve their fitness and crush their goals.

I've been a passionate skier for 30+ years.

I've been a passionate skier for 30+ years. Since I started at Crossfit athletics a few years ago my skiing capabilities even as I reach middle age have improved greatly due to the core conditioning provided by Gabe and Jenn's daily workouts. Intense workouts usually no longer than 30 minutes structured throughout the week with attentive instructors modifying workouts to people's individual needs/request. If you want to be active in sports when you get older I highly recommend a phone call to Gabe/Jenn and start getting the core strength needed to slow down Father Time. Less

Website is broken will not allow one to sign up.

Two words, Quality and Realism . Gabe and Jenn run the gym as a BUSINESS, which a lot of other boxes across the city don't have the knowledge to do; which drastically benefits the members in the long run. Your working out in a facility that has always has resources you need; and staff that can always help you. That is very rare in the Crossfit space. This is way more than just a monthly membe... More

Two words, Quality and Realism . Gabe and Jenn run the gym as a BUSINESS, which a lot of other boxes across the city don't have the knowledge to do; which drastically benefits the members in the long run. Your working out in a facility that has always has resources you need; and staff that can always help you. That is very rare in the Crossfit space. This is way more than just a monthly membership to access a gym to workout in. Of course there is the given sense of "community" at CFA that makes it tick, but their overall approach to one's fitness goes beyond that. The trainers at CFA are there to guide you to achieve your goals, big or small, regardless of fitness level. Its not just show up for a class, sweat a little bit, and call it a day. If you have a fitness journey planned, CFA will provide the vehicle ;) Less

I never thought I would be excited to work out 4-5 days a week but I can’t get enough thanks to CFA! The coaches are knowledgeable and approachable. It’s a very supportive and welcoming environment.

I think that this place would be a great fit for me! However, out of the 20 times that I’ve called, I have yet to be able to get a person on the phone to ask about memberships and classes.

Relocated to Pittsburgh this summer for an internship and stumbled across CFA while searching for a gym. Came in not knowing a single person and without ever having done CrossFit, but they made me feel at home from the start. Incredible staff, dedicated to helping each member get the most out of their workouts. Looking forward to being able to drop in next time I'm in Pittsburgh. Highly recommend... More

Love it here, excited to call this place home for as long as possible. Great coaches, great atmosphere, all around a great box to be at.

I’ve been CrossFit Athletics member since 2013! It may have been the MOST focal move I have made in the last decade.

Called to ask about the program, they didn't get back until a week later. I went to a class and had a great experience, however, I was only in town for another few weeks. I never heard back about my ability to purchase any packages and haven't done another class. Bummer.

I started CrossFit at an amazing gym in Indianapolis (Broad Ripple Fit Club), which set the bar pretty high in terms of coaching and community. When I moved to Pittsburgh, I was concerned that I wouldn't find a place like that. But CrossFit Athletics has been everything I was looking for in a gym.

I started CrossFit at an amazing gym in Indianapolis (Broad Ripple Fit Club), which set the bar pretty high in terms of coaching and community. When I moved to Pittsburgh, I was concerned that I wouldn't find a place like that. But CrossFit Athletics has been everything I was looking for in a gym. Jenn + Gabe (owners + coaches) have been great, and I've enjoyed getting to know the other members. Things I really like: The competitors have a (huge) room where they can train and the rest of us have a different (huge) room where we can workout. The bathrooms are amazing and CFA has showers! There is ample parking. And the open gym hours make it easy to do accessory work. Less

Great gym. Great coaches. Tons of variety of classes and times.

Very hospitable, easy to drop in. Thanks for letting me get 18.1 in on the road.

I dropped in for a week while I was visiting Pittsburgh. The coaches are very knowledgeable and everyone was very welcoming! The gym space is fantastic, too! Highly recommend. Thanks Jenn and Gabe!

I've tried many Crossfit boxes and this by far is the best I've ever been to!

I moved to this gym almost a year ago and I am so happy I did. The owners have created a friendly and welcoming environment, exceptional programming and a place to grow. It doesn't matter where you are in your fitness journey, CFA with its great coaches will take you to the next level and beyond where you thought you could go.

CFA has introduced me to several knowledgeable and positive people both in fitness and in life in general. I have made many lifelong friends and I am grateful to be a part of the CFA community. Gabe and Jenn have done an excellent job creating an environment where a fitness beginner can exceed their expectations of themselves and make significant improvements in their fitness that would not be possible alone. Someone who already has experience in some form of athletics can build on what they already know with the latest info that is out there from individuals with decades of experience who make great efforts to stay current and well-educated. I highly recommend CFA to anyone in the Pittsburgh area. Less

They accept each member where they are in their level of fitness and help them achieve their goals. I have achieved personal and fitness goals I never thought possible through the support and guidance of the coaches. The members are extremely friendly and inclusive. Members support each other’s’ progress, hold each other accountable, and provide a stellar training environment. I have lived in many places and have yet to see a CrossFit gym with the quality of coaches and members that CFA has. Less

Definitely the best Crossfit affiliate in the city. Tons of space and equipment, great programming.. the coaches know their stuff.

Through my 60 years, I've been to quite a few gyms. I can't say enough good things about CFA. Every coach is willing to take a minute to help figure what's best for me so I'm able to benefit from the workout.

This gym is my second home. The fact that I have been a member for five years is a testament in itself to the care and knowledge of the coaches, supportive atmosphere of the members, and healthy lifestyle being a part of CrossFit Athletics (CFA) encourages.

I've been a member of 2 CrossFit gyms and have visited many others through my travels within my line of work.

I've been a member of 2 CrossFit gyms and have visited many others through my travels within my line of work. After 2 years at CFA with Jenn and Gabe (the owners) I can honestly attest that they do nothing but think about what they can do to make their athletes better, stronger, fitter, happier, and all around their best self; if a decision comes to making money or making the athletes better, the athlete takes priority. We are not numbers, we are individuals that every coach somehow manages to remember every detail about! Bum shoulder? They are aware and help scale a movement to keep you safe. Can't do pull-up? They'll start you on something that you 'can' do and build you step by step to getting that first pull-up. The community within the gym also supports your goals and provides an amazingly safe space where you can come and work on yourself without being judged, but by getting cheered on by everyone around you. I wouldn't say I'm a very critical person, but I would say that I 'notice' things, good or bad, and all I ever notice at CFA are all things good! Here's to many more years with the CFA family! :) Less

i went in a few weeks ago - yes, it's a large impressive facility, but was unimpressed by the staff who appeared aloof and could care less about my interest in starting. Yah, ok. Bye. Why would I pay for that?

Large facility with exceptional programming and coaches! Glad I walked through the doors and made it my home.

An amazing place!! Everyone is so supportive and dedicated to not just their own goals but to yours as well!!! It's my second home!!!

One of the greatest moments of my career is the moment i walked in that gym

Great coaches who always keep you on your toes with hard workouts! Awesome way to burn fat, improve cardio AND build muscle

First and only place I've done (or want to do) XFit. Great, knowledgeable coaches who care about you progressing and doing movements right. Awesome box.

If I could give another 5 stars I would! I have been a member of CrossFit Athletics since it opened many years ago. I have loved being a part of both the regular CrossFit classes and now the Endurance program. Today I’m editing my review to add how much I now love the CrossFit kids program for my 5 year old son. Max has always been a bit of a quiet kid who loves all things related to science and outdoors, he loves to run, but so far has shown little interest in sports. Tee-ball, nope! Soccer shots, a disaster! That is fine with me, but I do think it’s important for him to try new things, stay active, and follow directions from adults. So a couple weeks ago we signed up for our first cycle of CrossFit kids. Max was unsure and shy but Coach Jocelyn put him at ease and got him right into the mix. He loves the games, is able to follow Coach Jocelyn’s directions and modeling, and after just 2 weeks I see his confidence growing!! I definitely see the difference outside of class as well. Since starting CrossFit kids, he tried both monkey bars and a climbing wall for the first time, at play places we have been going to for years. In addition, we have brought our very athletic and outgoing 9 year old neighbor along with us. He has just as much fun and is challenged by learning new movement patterns such as presses and thrusters. I would not hesitate to recommend this program to other parents. Thank you Coach Jocelyn and CrossFit Athletics! Less

Jen was amazing! I trained with her for a month! She was great and so was the facility!
