During the day it’s pretty much all adults…very chill vibe everyone minds their buisness. If you go anytime after 8pm….its all teenagers running around horsing around. Two teenage girls were walking around with blankets on tonight running back and fourth to the boxing room upstairs and teenage boys hogging all the cable machines doing literally not One workout. Guess you just have to make time during the day or it’s just not the place to be unless you’re 15

I have been a member for several years. The gym has recently in the past ~1 year gone down hill.
There is damaged equipment and machines that have been removed, 0 upgrades to high traffic equipment. Couple this with large influxes of teenagers that leave the place a mess and use the gym as a social outing; I am currently looking for a new gym.
I will say that the support staff is very nice and helpful, hard working and definitely save some of the gym in my opinion.

Used to be a really nice gym. Now everything’s regularly broken or out of order. Place has been packed with teen boys that sneak in and crowd equipment and scream vulgarity at each other.

Been a member for 8 years...
This year a great gym turned daycare for high-school and college kids..
Today I watched 2 groups of more than 3 kids cluster around the only 2 cables for over 30+min, while another used a weight belt as a whip on a back extension, and another group had one kid carrying another one around the machine area.
No gym etiquette, or curiosity for space with other members. It only seems to be getting worse.

This is a person-centered facility with amazing staff and group classes that are tops. The instructors (Michelle, Kelly, TA, Celeste) are all fantastic and I can’t say ENOUGH about Kathi Abati and her classes made extra special just because of her, she is inspirational, engaging with all members and is just the best! She is a dynamo!

Nice equipment they have.
But management acts shady. Contacted them about a cancellation and got answer(twice) that they will call me back to refund my membership that I canceled right after subscribing because I had to move to the other side of Pittsburgh. Needless to say that nobody called me back yet

In my opinion, this is the best gym in the area without question. A great variety of equipment, reasonable prices, and the other clients aren't standoffish at all. I highly recommend this gym.

pretty good gym. the equipment is nice but some is old and makes it hard to adjust the heights etc. it’s laid back but some of the members can be very standoffish especially towards the younger crowd. to the reviewer who suggested a dress policy because women are wearing ‘bras and underwear’ grow up. no one is wearing a bra and underwear to the gym. if you feel threatened by a woman wearing gym shorts and a sports bra, maybe you should go elsewhere? maybe dont go to a gym if you dont want a woman wearing clothes FOR THE GYM. this is the exact attitude and standoffish feeling i feel when at this gym.

The gym is nice but there really should be a dress code loosely enforced here. Working out in bras and underwear is unacceptable… especially when you stand right in front of another person while they are on a seated machine. Have some class please!

I have been going here for a little over three years. It is a great gym with great classes, great environment and great instructors. You cannot get the spin or Kathi’s classes anywhere else. The best in Pittsburgh!

Gym could be cleaner! The Men's room is pretty nasty. I avoid that part of the gym most of the time. They do have some fantastic equipment and machines. The treadmills are cheap leased machines that need to go. They are often broken or do not work properly.

The staff here are all so welcoming and kind. There is always a smiling face sitting at the desk when you walk in. It’s very clean and plenty of machines and free weights to use. I also love that they provide sanitizing wipes and cleaner to wipe down everything you touch. I find it easy to social distance and other gym goers seem to be polite and courteous. Way better experience that at the commercial gyms in our area.

A great gym for anyone that takes their training seriously! This is weights oriented gym but they do have other options and classes suitable for men and woman of all ages. Spacious, organized and a friendly staff team. I'm very pleased with ex membership after 1 year here.

Great gym with a ton of equipment, but wish they had doubles of some of the standard stuff (one rower, only kettlebell singles, etc). Love the 24 hour access and overall plenty for room for everyone.

Alexander’s is one of the nicest gyms in the area. It has the most variety in its equipment and programs, plus the people are friendly. Since the gym is run by a family, the atmosphere is very personable. It makes you feel like you’re a part of that family.

Alexander's was inviting and just what I needed for a few days while staying in the Holiday inn down the road. Justin was welcoming and let me work out for free with a 3 day pass over a weekend. If I lived here I'd definitely be interested in a membership; the facilities were simple but clean and functional and there was a variety of equipment, and the staff seemed helpful.

The facilities here are pretty clean. You don’t have to worry about messes anywhere. The staff is great as well. They know your name, and they talk to you when you come in. Personally, I started coming here when I found out the gym was open for 24 hours. It’s incredibly convenient, since it’s never too crowded. You don’t have to worry about waves of people or students coming in all at once, so you’re free to use the facilities and the turf room without a wait.

I was a college wrestler, so staying fit is a lifetime decision for me, and as far as I’m concerned, coming to Alexander’s is a no-brainer. The staff is friendly and helpful. They give good direction, and are willing to show you the new and improved facilities and equipment. I really like the multipurpose room. It’s user friendly, and it’s set up so that anyone can find something that works for them. It’s especially good for people who don’t like cardio. The free weights, TRX, and ropes are neat add-ons for your workout, because they add cardio without you having to run. The classes are also great. My wife takes some of them, and there’s a class for everybody. We’re parents now, and Alexander’s actually offers childcare, which is amazing because there aren’t many gyms that do that. It’s a great place to workout.

I originally joined the gym when it was Fitness 1440, so when the Alexanders took over, I was a bit concerned about what the changes would be. I was relieved when those changes ended up being for the better. There’s more floor space, not as much repeated equipment, things are fixed immediately, and you don’t need to deal with long waits or any overly aggressive people. Plus, everybody knows each other here, so there’s more of a family feel. The environment has definitely improved.
There are going to be three posts total: one for Google, one for Yelp, and one for Foursquare. I'll include those links at the bottom of this email. Foursquare has a limit for how long a review can be, so I created a shorter version of the review that can be posted there. The above version of the review can be posted to Google and Yelp, while this shorter version will go to Foursquare:

Been working out at this gym for many years and thru many different transitions of ownership. These guys do it right, the staff is friendly as well as the members of the gym. Lots of machines and free weights to choose from.

I moved to the area, and heard that Alexander’s was a good place to work out, and I’ve been satisfied. The equipment isn’t for show; things are set up to actually be able to get things done. There are free weights, there’s the turf room. Room for everyone to work out. There’s actually space. I would recommend Alexander’s if you’re serious about working out. If you want fluff, go somewhere else. Here there’s real equipment, and real people who know what they’re talking about. Rick, Molly, Dave and the team are great!

I first heard about the gym through word of mouth from friends I have from other gyms. It’s good stress relief. It feels really good to keep bettering yourself, and Alexander’s has a variety of equipment to make that possible. My insurance lets me go to multiple gyms, but I always choose to go here.

Eh. Dirty club with old, broken equipment. Recently resold to the original owners in the hopes of resurrecting it to its 90’s glory. I had a really bad experience here when it was 1440.

The gym I used to go to closed down, so I ended up coming here after that. I’m still a relatively new member, but I’ve gotten to know some of the staff and members. There have been a lot of renovations done with the building, the equipment, and the turf room, so there’s a lot of variability in what you can do here. I’m mainly focused on cardio, and staying in shape, and there are plenty of ways to do that here.
