A couple of my coworkers have been swearing by this place for the last couple months and I finally checked it out myself today. Faster did not disappoint. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The class itself is no joke. If youre looking for a comfortable place to get uncomfortable with your fitness and challenge yourself this seems like the right place to do it. Looking forward to my next month with them. First class is free of charge 10/10 recommend giving it a try.

I got a free 15 day trial from work and I was absolutely blown away by the kindness of the staff. I’ve had three personal trainers before and after one personal training session here I was so excited to go back. Also, the smoothies are great. Two thumbs up.

My friend and I have been going to Faster for the 21 day challenge. We absolutely love it! The staff is friendly, energetic, knowledgeable and always willing to help without hesitation. We really like how the workouts are already designed (no need to think about what your workout will consist of) for you, works the entire body in 1 hour and they correct your form in a proper manner. Even though the equipment is the same, the workouts are not, which has us going back for more. We highly recommend Faster!!

The staff is really knowledgeable and friendly. The classes are up-beat, challenging, and always changing. They are a big believer in communication and providing you with the best experience possible. They remember your name and are always excited to see you. This is a great place to consider, regardless of what it is you’re hoping to achieve through fitness.

This place has the best energy that makes you excited to work out! If you are looking for a challenge this is the place to go. All of the trainers have their own flare of how they train and they are all awesome!

FASTER is the BEST. Simply put. There is no other place around that offers the guidance, encouragement, motivation, energy and all around support to help you meet your goals. The staff, ALL of them, become your friend on Day 1. I have never seen or experienced anything like it. After 3 babies in 5 years, and a ton of weight gained, I didnt know where to start to get my health back. You can imagine the reluctance and embarrassment I felt going in on my first day, and hardly being able to do anything! Nope! These guys at FASTER wiped that attitude right out of existence. They make you want to work, try harder, and give it your all. They genuinely want to see you succeed! FASTER is not just a gym or fitness center. They are a support system! They are everything you need to live your best life. And I might think that they quite literally saved my life!

I took the Sizzle Beach Challenge and am a little over a week into the program. I can already see the results and feel them when I put my clothes on. I love the classes - each one a new challenge and never boring. The trainers are excellent and push you to keep going.

I am in Week 2 of the Skinny Jeans challenge and I love it! I love that the members at Faster are all different ages and body types. I don’t feel intimidated there at all. The coaches are very attentive and are always ready with a modification if you need it. The workouts are different each time and never boring – the 1-hour workout flies by! Thanks, Faster!

I joined the FASTER personal training program in February 2016. I had been having problems with my back and hips, so the FASTER team created a personalized program to help strengthen my back and ease my pain. Within a few weeks, I noticed significant improvements. Since then I have completed their Blizzard Beach Challenge, and their 21-Day Challenge. The staff is friendly, helpful and encourages you to be the best you can be. I highly recommend FASTER Pittsburgh!

Faster is such a wonderful place! I started last April for a Sizzle Beach Challenge and could not be happier. All of the staff are so nice, funny, caring, and energetic. I love both the EFX classes and personal training. The workouts are fun and challenging. Since going to Faster I feel great!

I discovered Faster by recommendation of a friend/co-worker. I started attending their EFX classes April of this year. You will not find a better, more genuine group of coaches/trainers. The atmosphere is welcoming and the people here are from all walks of life. Its very refreshing to come here and receive so much support and encouragement. Its safe to say Im hooked! If youre looking for a challenging yet fun workout, stop by Faster!

I started the 3 week challenge on March 11th and it has been such a great experience. The trainers are great to work with and are always switching things up so that you dont have the same workout! I am used to exercising on a regular basis but I find that it is good to give yourself a challenge and try something new. But Faster also seems like a great place for those who are new and need to get into a better routine. The trainers seem to really focus on adapting to individuals based on their levels and needs.

I cant say enough wonderful things about Faster. Everyone there is so kind and truly get to know you. The workouts are a good kind of intense, where you go home feeling tired but good. Anyone at any level could do this! All of the coaches are great about giving you modifications and the people attending are very welcoming. This is a great place for everyone, no matter what your goals/fitness levels may be!

The various challenges offered are a great way to try out the offerings at Faster, as well as a great way to kickstart your routine.The entire staff goes above and beyond to challenge you, encourage you, and personally ensure that you are working to your potential. I would recommend Faster to anyone! Thank you for an awesome fitness experience!

I signed up for the 21 day challenge with a friend and was nervous to start going to a new gym. After going a few times it is extremely addicting. The classes are great and they leave you wanting to come back. The staff is awesome too and really take the time to help you when you dont understand how to do something. I love it here !

Working out at Faster over the past few weeks has been an awesome experience! Everyone is very inviting and friendly and makes you feel at home.

I have had a great experience at Faster in Robinson, the coaches are great to work with and are very motivating. I work out often at the gym and doing cardio, but I have to say when I leave a class or training session at Faster I definitely feel like I gave it 100%....my muscles are tired. The other nice thing is that the coaches switch things up, no workout is ever the same....keeping it interesting

Review №36

I started going to Faster Pittsburgh approximately two months ago after many years away from a regular fitness program. It has been tough for me to get back into the routine, but I have been able to get back to the habit of getting up early and going to work out or to go to their classes.What I like most is the friendliness of the staff and the other members. I used to hate to go work out because I felt like if I did something wrong I would feel self conscious and the other members would look at me funny. This never happens at Faster. The staff is extremely encouraging, and the other members are always friendly and helpful.It makes a big difference when you are starting back to getting in shape and you feel like everyone is rooting for you. Jason, Megan and all the staff make it easier to get up at 5 a.m. to get it done.Thanks guys!

Great workouts, amazing training staff, good location! All the trainers get to know you on a personal basis and work with you to help you reach your goals. The high energy atmosphere makes the EFX classes go fast, and the personal and semi private training will kick your butt! Great gym, cant say enough good things about it or Coach!

I had been having major problems with my knee and foot for years. I went through all the creams, wraps, orthotics, physical therapy, exercises, etc... that are out there and nothing really helped much. I had about 8 or 10 sessions with Joe over a 6 week period and the knee pain, which was constant, only flares up a little now when I over do it. Plantar fasciitis is way better as well. Joe really knows his stuff and I would highly recommend him. Total pro.

Ive been going to Faster Pittsburgh for almost 9 months now and I am thankful I have Jason DeRose and staff in my life now.

Review №49

I LOVE the staff and fellow clients at Faster Pittsburgh - its so hard to get out of bed to work out at 6am, but the chipper hello from Megan and a nice buddy to pair up with make it all worth zombie drive over.The classes are awesome because the exercises are in 1 minute spurts (you can do anything for a minute, right??) or 3 minutes switching between 2 exercises with a partner - this makes even the worst exercise (running) doable. The staff member running the class is always very motivating while counting you down and will walk around and help make sure your form / what you are doing is correct. They provide modifications and everything has about 10 levels you can tone up or down to fit your level or needs. Its able to capture personal fitness training in a group setting, its awesome!The Build Bar they have is also pretty great, the smoothies are delicious and they will make them during your class so they are ready to go when you are ready to go - aka the perfect post workout breakfast!Overall, the staff and other clients are the best part about this place - its a welcoming environment and everyone loves to see you be successful, whether it be the coaches excited you are coming to the classes you say you want to go to or the other clients pumped about pushing that extra rep in before the circuit ends!

Joining Team Faster was hands down the best decision I have made for ME in a very long time. As a former college athlete, I always spoke about how I wanted to get back to the old me but was not putting in the work to achieve my goal. The Coaches at faster motivate, inform, and refuse to let you fail. This isnt just because the coaches were great hires, it is because of the culture that Coach Derose and Sommer instilled in this facility.If you want to invest in yourself, in your happiness, and in your health... I recommend you join Team Faster. Ill forever be grateful for my coaches, and for the DeRose family. This isnt just a gym, and I am not just a dollar sign... this is the true definition of a TEAM.

Great training staff - I loved the mind set they stated when I started - Just get here, even if you are 10 minutes late, or have to leave 15 minutes early from class, just get here and we can take it from there. Just a great training space with no judgement with a ton of encouragement!

A great friend encouraged me to sign up a for Fasters 8 week challenge and I am so grateful I did! I love Faster. From the minute you walk in the door being greeted by the Director of first Impressions you are welcomed and encouraged by everyone. Coach DeRose is not only a great coach is is really one of the good guys! All of the staff makes you feel welcomed and part of the family .They also have a protein bar called Build Bar that is the perfect ending to a work out. Come workout with us...you will love it!💪🏻

I love working out at FASTER. Ive been there since 2011, but most recently signed up for the 3-week challenge. I love the personal training sessions, Kams classes, and EFX. As a former collegiate athlete, I enjoy a team mentality and working out with others. FASTER offers this and so much more!

I decided to try Faster after having my second child in March 2016. I hit a plateau with trying to lose the baby-weight and I was getting pretty discouraged with my progress after this pregnancy. I was looking for something to switch up my workouts and Faster has been exactly what I was looking for!The EFX classes have given me a complete full-body workout. The EFX classes are adaptable for all fitness levels and are highly addicting! The atmosphere is contagious with so many people trying to hit their fitness goals. You will walk out of the class with a smile on your face and a great sense of accomplishment.Above all else, I want to thank the staff at Faster for making everyone feel welcome and continuing to motivate us to perform and get the most out of our workouts. This facility is incredible and I would recommend it to anyone!

Review №56

Ive finished numerous well known workout programs and have done quite a bit of research on exercise and nutrition, but I was only able to take my personal fitness so far. Working with Coach DeRose and Coach Herbstritt at Faster has given me a custom-tailored fitness solution thats optimized for me and my schedule, and theyve created something else for me that Ive been lacking in my physical training--accountability. I have no doubt that Faster is what Ive needed all along to reach my personal fitness and performance goals.

I finished the 21 day fix program on July 2nd and absolutely loved everything about the program. Within those few weeks, I was able to see results. The constant change-up keeps you going.Yesterday was my first day back after a week vacation and although it was a challenge finding the time to go, I could not be happier to be back. As Coach DeRose reminds us getting there is the hardest part. Happy to be back and once again motivated to hear 30 seconds, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.Great Job, Faster Team!

I was introduced to FASTER by my running group about a year ago & Ive been in love ever since. I started off coming to EFX, but just recently started one of their 21 day challenge groups... Every single person that works there is so friendly. They remember your name & they make a point to create a relationship with you. They want nothing more than to see you succeed in health & fitness & they have been nothing but a blessing in my life.I cant say enough good things about this place - I would recommend it to ANYONE. Athletes, runners, walkers, anyone who wants to start their health & fitness journey.. this is the place to do it.

Great experience. Best place around. Nothing like it-period. From the training to the chiro to massage, its the best. Also had build bar protein shake. PB&J taste just like its name. Best shake bar none. If Faster is good enough for the pittsburgh steelers i suppose its good enough for me.

I lost a lot of weight 4 and a half years ago. Since then I have done many different kinds of workouts and even trained for a full marathon but always fell short of loosing the last few pounds of stubborn fat. 5 weeks ago I turned to Faster to loose these last few pounds and gain healthy muscle where In needed it the most.The knowledge of Coach and the rest of the staff at Faster has helped me more than I ever could on my own. EFX, MFX, personal training and Fasters line of Supplements has changed me more in the last weeks than I have been able to in a couple years on my own. Their InBody scan has given me a clear road map as to what I need to do to accomplish what I want!

Review №66

Fasters 21 day challenge was the perfect little Get-over-the-inertia program for me and a sampling platter of the different classes that Faster has to offer so I could figure out what kind of exercise routine would suit me best. This, because after 3 years of absolutely NO exercise, I needed a class to motivate me, challenge me and hold me accountable. Their classes do exactly that! The atmosphere is wonderfully welcoming (as opposed to some really intimidating and aggressively competitive atmospheres Ive encountered in other gyms). They make it clear that this is about YOU and you can dial the intensity of the exercise routines up or down based on your comfort level. The staff is so friendly, encouraging and genuine. My favorite class was the CIZE class which is a dance inspired cardio work out where in each class you learn a choreography. I just did not see the 60 minutes fly by which according to me is the best way to work out! I definitely would recommend FASTER and their classes!

Joining the EFX challenge at Faster last year changed my life. From the moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed by the staff who cheered me along my 8-week challenge journey. It is an incredibly elite group of trainers who are subject-matter experts in the areas of training and wellness. Id put them up against any trainer in the nation! Coach Jason DeRose pushes you to reach your goals and can motivate you to get up at 6 am and win each day! Kam Niskach leads one of the most kicka$$ hip-hop cardio classes on Monday nights too--plus P90X on Wednesday and Cize on Thursdays. Shes a Beachbody master trainer. The whole staff is outstanding! And beyond the staff, the other members are welcoming and encourage you on your journey. Ive met so many wonderful people at Faster. The EFX class format pairs you with another one of Fasters Finest so you can push each other through every circuit. Like Coach always says: Gotta get that mind right to get that body tight. Try Faster! Change your life!
