If you are looking for a gym in the north side this place is perfect. The coaches really help personalize the workouts so you can get the most out of every session.

Very good box! Enjoyed dropping in here for a couple of months. Coaches are knowledgeable and care about your movement and health. Great place to start with CrossFit; IA is on the lighter side of intensity and volume, but still offers excellent training and is challenging. Very good space and equipment; fairly welcoming members. Impeccably clean bathrooms! A bit hard to find, in the back of a building with another business in front and minimal signage, go down the drive with the school bus fence.

I have been going to Industrial Athletics for the last 2.5 years, and it has been life changing. Since I joined the gym, I have been inspired to challenge myself with goals I didn’t think were possible. After losing 25 lbs, being able to lift weight above 200 lbs, and running my first half-marathon, these are a few of the things that have happened because of the gym.

I've been coming here for 6 months now and have had nothing but pleasant experiences with the people and the coaches. Each of the coaches understand my strengths and weaknesses, and are equipped to make modifications for me to make sure I'm getting a good workout and avoiding injury. The staff makes sure newcomers feel welcome and integrated, and the gym has events to both build community and low stakes competitions.

I love IA! I have been training with Leslie 4 days a week for several months and seen great results with building muscle mass and tone to achieve my fitness goals. She is friendly and personable, organized, and very knowledgeable. I really enjoy my workouts with her and will continue to train with her and recommend her to friends.

I joined IA just about a month ago, and it has been an incredible experience. From the start everyone has been super welcoming & encouraging, making it easy to not be nervous for your first few sessions. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and supportive, so I've never felt unsure about a workout or movement. With a different workout each day it keeps things diverse and fun as well!

I've quickly found that this gym has an awesome community & I'm excited to stick with it.

I've been going to IA for just over two years now and can't think of a better decision I have made for my health. I tried group classes at other studios, basic gyms with equipment, even personal trainers, but none of it benefitted me as much as coming here. I was hesitant about trying CrossFit, but from day one the coaches put me into fundamentals to make sure my form was good and I knew what was going on. After that I was able to join the small group classes and haven't looked back. The other members are great, coaches are encouraging and pay attention. They notice when you're having an off day and help you scale to meet where you are while still challenging and pushing you to be better each class. Can't recommend it enough to anyone who is looking for functional fitness in a supportive and inclusive environment.

While I was a member at Industrial Athletics I grew so much as an athlete. I’m a person who dreads working out, but going to the group classes made working out actually fun! It also went by quickly and I was able to see results quickly. The gym was also very family oriented and I enjoyed going to the social events hosted for different holiday seasons.

This is the only place that I will work out. I have tried other places but never stayed with it. All of the coaches and Jen in particular make it a very welcoming places to be but also push you to be your best and hold you accountable. Two things I like. Best and only place I will ever go to work out.

We walked in the door with zero CrossFit experience (or any significant gym experience for that matter), and the community at Industrial Athletics - the coaches and the other members - kept us coming back. I would highly recommend the gym for anyone at any age who is looking for professional guidance and accountability to improve their physical health and achieve their fitness goals.

Super welcoming and approachable coaching team that will meet you where you are regardless if you’re a seasoned athlete or brand new to fitness. Class sizes are small so you get lots of personalized attention. If you ask for accountability- be prepared to get it!

I absolutely love IA! From the coaches, to community to the the variety of work outs.. it’s such a great environment. The coaches are so intentional with helping you scale a workout but also encouraging you when they know you can push a lil more. If you are thinking of trying out crossfit, definitely recommend IA!

Hands-down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. The community is incredible and I don’t know if it’s possible to find more caring and passionate coaches anywhere else. I looked around at a lot of CrossFit gyms before deciding on IA and it was the best decision I’ve ever made choosing IA. I feel the healthiest and strongest I’ve ever felt since college sports, and the training at IA really set me up for success in my marathon trainings. I’ve been running marathons and half marathons for over 12 years and have never recovered this well or felt so strong in my training runs and races - that is all thanks to the workouts at IA and the care the coaches have for my running goals.
I’ve seen the coaches work with literally every age, skill set, and injury. The coaches ensure any workout is achievable for you. I truly cannot recommend IA enough, don’t wait, stop looking around at other places, and make an appointment to become a part of our IA community!!

This is a great gym! I was new to CrossFit in 2022 and a bit intimidated but the coaches and members are so welcoming. The coaches really care about members' well being - they know when to push but they also accommodate as needed. It's a great, diverse, supportive community that's become part of my weekday routine.

I’ve been training with Leslie for several months with the goal of building strength to supplement marathon training, and to add some variety to my fitness routine. Industrial Athletics has a very welcoming atmosphere and they are willing to meet you wherever you are, while at the same time encouraging you to push to the next level. I will definitely continue to go back!

Industrial Athletic is a fantastic gym. They keep a clean, friendly, and well equipped space. Along with well informed coaches that look out for their gym goer’s body’s and their technique. If you want a place to go to throw weight around in a mindful way. I highly recommend them!

I have been a member of IA since December 2016. The coaches, community, and convenience are a huge factor in maintaining a membership for 7 years. I initially joined to trade the bar for barbells and would attend class leisurely. It wasn’t until 2021 that I made the commitment to make IA an integral aspect of my life. I can say with 100% confidence that Coach Jen has had a huge impact of my continued success & growth. By combining the WOD (workout of the day) with a customized fitness plan, that Coach Jen designed, I was able to lose 30+ lbs, develop a habit of consistency, and now have a goal of running an ultramarathon. None of this would have been a possibility without the support and backing that of the IA community. IA has had a positive impact on my life that I know others can benefit from.

I was new to CrossFit when I started going to Industrial Athletics in 2019. I can honestly say my life all around has improved. Not only does my body feel better but when I leave a class, I leave with a great positive mental attitude. There is a good support system with coaches and members. All of the coaches are awesome. Coach Jen G is the coach of the class I attend, shes great. She knows when to push me to do my best yet at the same time watches out for my well being. I’ve set goals for myself that I felt were too far way. Coach Jen helped me reach those goals and set new ones. I can’t recommend IA enough. I also can’t picture IA not in my life.

Industrial Athletics is the best! I have been going there for a little over 2 years now after the recommendation from a close friend. I was most definitely intimidated before attending my first session because I was brand new to the CrossFit style of workouts. I started doing 1:1 training sessions with Coach Leslie, who I cannot even begin to say enough about. She is by far one of the most positive, uplifting, caring, and welcoming people that I have ever known. Each session I had with her felt like hanging out with a close friend. Jen Griener is the coach that I work out the most with and she has a very genuine interest in my personal growth in CrossFit and my overall health. We meet every 3 months to review my goals and catch up on anything else fitness related. Coach Kaela and Jen M are also wonderful!

Industrial Athletics is a wonderful community that I am lucky to be a part of!

The team at Industrial Athletics is second to none. I started a couple years ago with Coach Matt doing a virtual program during covid to help my foot after a surgery. Today I look forward to 3 sessions a week with Coach Leslie, who makes every session fun and challenging, and motivates me to achieve goals I once thought out of reach. I used to be sedentary, had a big snacking problem, and low confidence. Now I’m benching, jumping, squatting, and having a blast. And I can see how coming to IA has helped me live life more confidently. The sense of support among members is authentic. If you are ready to commit to yourself, to improving your health and fitness, if you want the guidance of world class trainers, and a gym that feels like home, look no further.

The coaches at IA (Matt, Leslie, Kaela, Jenn, Rich) have made a HUGE difference in my life! The community is very welcoming and supportive as well! I showed up to IA with a desire to get into shape after being sedentary way too much of my adult life. Learning the fundamentals of CrossFit coach Leslie was extremely patient and kind with me as I learned proper form. I also laughed with her every session and truly enjoyed it! Moving into group classes was intimidating at first, but all of the coaches at IA are dedicated to proper form and they kept me safe and helped me learn to lift. I also feel really inspired and encouraged by other members. A year later and I still learn more each class. It is very apparent to me that all of the coaches are passionate about fitness and helping others progress. Whether you are starting at square one like I did or you are already an athlete looking for a place to grow I can't recommend Industrial Athletics enough!

Can’t recommend Matt, Jen, Rich, Leslie and crew enough. My schedule made it difficult to get in for workouts and Matt was so great with working out a plan with me.

On a facility note, it’s got everything you need for CrossFit workouts and the entire staff is not only focused on your physical fitness but your mental fitness as well.

If you got a chance, at least try them out. I did and it made a difference for me.

I have been a member at a variety of fitness facilities over the years. What makes Industrial Athletics unique for me is that I feel like I am “training” and not only “working out”. At the other facilities I have been a member of my weaknesses were not addressed. At IA, they helped me find the weakness and work with me to improve it. The coaches are knowledgeable and approachable. They provide individual attention that has helped me work towards my specific goals. IA’s group classes includes programming for all levels from beginner at CrossFit to advanced athletes.

Would give them a 0/5 if I could. Most expensive CrossFit in town, the owner only cares about collecting your money, how to get more money from you, and it’s the same exact workout as every other CrossFit place in town. Don’t waste your money and time here like I did, you can get the same workout for cheaper somewhere else. Plus, other gyms might actually care about you as a human being.

Unfortunately this place is NOT as great as we were expecting it to be for the amount it costs per month;
They have very limited class times & they fill up quickly, In order to have a job & go to the classes it makes the class you can attend very limited (example; my wife works until 5:30PM & the latest class is 6:30 but only have these classes very limited times a week)
We were forced to pay for 2 extra months due to the 30 day cancelation policy (which we were not informed of until we canceled & they stated its in the Contract that we signed but did not have a copy of because unfortunately we cannot remember all the fine details of every contract signed months ago)
So just read your Contract very carefully to not get charged for unnecessary reasons & make sure you know when your account start date is as that is the date they go by for billing every month or else you will get charged

If you are looking to take back your health and wellness, Industrial Athletics is the place to start. Industrial Athletics is a diverse community of members who celebrate all levels of fitness. Its coaching staff is second to none. Each and every coach is a champion for every member. The small class sizes allow the coaches to provide as much personal attention as a member wants. At the age of 55, I didn’t think CrossFit was for me. I was wrong. It was the perfect age to begin. After almost one short year of joining, I am off my diabetes medication and slaying my health and wellness goals one by one. Thanks to the team at IA.

I highly recommend Industrial Athletics (IA) for private fitness training. I started at IA several years ago when I looked for a CrossFit class near me. At that time, I was looking for group classes. While at IA, I started treatment for a rare, aggressive tumor in my joint and had to take some time off from training. IA's owner, Matthew Becker, reached out to me, and we discussed personal training as a way for me to continue with my fitness routine. I agreed that private training might be a good solution for me, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Despite an aggressive treatment plan for my rare disease that includes many side effects, I have been able to continue my CrossFit-inspired workouts. Personal training at IA is genuinely personalized based on your health goals and physical ability, which results in real progress and success.

I joined the gym about 3 weeks ago and I have been really enjoying my time here. Matt, the owner, is so kind and has made me feel comfortable and welcome at the gym. There is a “Safe Space” piece of art in a frame on his desk which immediately made me feel relieved in my first meeting with him.

Coach Rachel has been great with walking me through the fundamentals. She has provided great feedback and is really nice and patient. I love how the focus at the gym is doing things correctly in order to avoid injuries.

The community feeling at the gym has been amazing. I’ve always felt isolated when working out at other gyms so having others around who are new and advanced all working towards improving themselves has been great.

Overall I’ve had a great experience and I’d encourage anyone who is curious to come and check it out. I’m an introvert so I was nervous at first too but I’m so glad I showed up.

Industrial Athletics is one of the top three best things that I've ever been a part of in Pittsburgh.

I think I can easily say that Matt, Jen, and the entire team saved my life. When I did my first mini-workout, I was so out-of-shape as being a new dad that I almost passed out, but what I've been able to do health and fitness wise in less than a year has amazed me and my family.

I started at Industrial Athletics because it was really close to my job, and I needed to do something for my health. I wasn't really into Crossfit and was a bit ignorant about it, but the gym has completely changed my perspective because of the great coaching and community that now if I don't do some sort of Crossfit 3x a week I feel like something is off.

They are extremely accommodating and have handled the pandemic better than most businesses. They continue to provide quality programming and coaching and are still focused on everyone's health and safety.

I can write 10,000 words about why Industrial Athletics is the best place in Pittsburgh but it all boils down to great community and fantastic coaching.

I love this place!
To say that Industrial Athletics CrossFit Alloy has changed my life is not hyperbole. I considered myself to be in fairly good shape, and I have even done CrossFit before in my recent past; however, when I started going to this gym, my perception of my own fitness as well as that of CrossFit in general drastically changed.

I started pushing back my own frontiers and redefined my own definition of what it meant to be fit. Before going to Industrial Athletics CrossFit Alloy, I'm afraid I had barely scratched the surface of my own physical ability. Now, I'm doing things I never thought my 39 year old self could ever do.

If this weren't enough to get me excited about working out again, I now have three fantastic coaches who are looking out for me, providing top-notch instruction and motivation. I may not be the strongest or the fastest, but I've become more determined than ever thanks to their help.

Highly recommended!

I have been a client of Industrial Athletics / CrossFit Alloy since day one, and have been incredibly satisfied with their service. I work out during the 5:30 evening session, although I am glad to have the flexibility to attend any of the other classes (6am, noon, 6:30pm on weekdays.)

Each of the coaches with whom I work is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Tony has given me a lot of personalized help with olympic lifting and mobility issues that I've had, and Steph has been the one to push me through workouts that I just didn't think I could finish. They're both great at keeping me motivated and at making sure I get a full hour of intense training.

Industrial Athletics is in a great location with plenty of free parking. The equipment is new, the space is large enough to accommodate big classes, and the spirit of the place as much a community of friends as it is hardcore training facility.
