TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
 "I just finished my first Barbell Club at X Shadyside and Pat was the best instructor ever! He’s very knowledgeable and very attentive to clients and even helped me when I couldn’t get the bar up correctly. He helped me push myself and finish extra reps when I couldn’t. He knows so much about fitness I could listen to him talk all day!! X-Shadyside is a great gym and I highly recommend Tuesday night Barbell club with Pat. You won’t regret it!"

"I really wanted to get stronger over this winter so I checked out X on Walnut in Shadyside. Training that is totally customized to my goals with amazing results after only a few weeks. They offer so many options for individuals and groups as well as athletes who want to be at the top of their game. And Patrick, their Physical Therapist is on site as well.If you are ready to make a change. Just stop by and ask for the Manager, CJ. So glad I did!"

"I have been working out on my own and a few times a week at X Shadyside with a superb personal trainer, Bryce Meriweather. The gym is huge, well outfitted and its staff are highly professional and create a friendly and positive environment. In just several months, thinking I was already quite fit, my balance, flexibility, strength and general outlook on life has improved! Bryce has created and shared training programs for when I am traveling, is an excellent motivator and constantly evolves individual workouts so muscle groups and interest levels are “optimized”! One could not spend time and $$ in a better way! I strongly suggest for the new year that you visit Bryce or his colleagues Patrick and CJ and set up a transformative workout program. "
