Lifetime fitness, guided by expertise, strengthened by community in the Pittsburgh area.
A unique wellness gym backed by physical therapy expertise offering gym memberships, group classes and personal training sessions.
We provide specialized fitness services that are accessible for all abilities, with a focus on neurological diagnoses and the aging population. Our goal is to keep as many people in motion in order to live their life to the fullest and achieve their goals!
What Makes Us Different
Neurological Expertise
Most gym employees are not trained in the proper way to manage special neurological diagnoses. Our gym is run by physical therapists and have staff who are well trained to properly manage these diagnoses.
Safe, Supported Exercise
It’s often not safe or practical for these clients to do a home program without support and therefore they decline further. We offer the support and assistance for continued exercise and education to prevent decline and encourage progress.
Specialized Equipment
Existing gyms do not have the equipment necessary to assist these clients. We provide a gym environment with equipment and accessibility necessary for these populations to succeed.
Affordable Ongoing Care
Insurance coverage for PT has an increasingly higher copay and the visit number can be limited. We offer monthly access to appropriate gym equipment and wellness sessions, run by trained professionals. It is available at an affordable price and can be ongoing. This can help to supplement physical therapy or provide wellness care after PT has ended.
Our Services
Gym Memberships
Our affordable gym membership gets you access to our equipment, including treadmills, bikes, seated stepper, dumbbells, bands, and more! We can discuss it all at our FREE consultation where you get a chance to see the gym and if it’s a good fit for you.
Group Classes
We offer a variety of class options that include strength training, cardio, chair yoga and pilates, balance, boxing, and more! Our instructors are great at modifying the exercises to your level or suggesting another option if needed. The community and support in our group classes have been so wonderful to see, and are what keeps everyone motivated!
