FASTER Pittsburgh

Fantastic experience: Just took the Cardio Combat class and boy was it a doozie but great fun. I feel like Sugar Ray Leonard but more tired. I highly recommend you try this class!

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Faster for “return to play” training for my teenage daughter after a knee injury and then I joined also for private training and classes. What started out as a 6 week plan to get her back to playing, has turned into us both working out there for the past 4 months, and we have no plans of stopping. :-) The trainers are supportive and encouraging and the workouts always push you to your limits!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Faster since February. Owner and staff/interns are amazing and super motivating. They hold you accountable in and out of the gym. Gym also has an InBody scanner that tracks changes in body composition.

Fantastic experience: Faster Pittsburgh offers a welcoming and supportive environment! Great trainers! Challenging (yet fun) workouts! Quality supplements! A smoothie bar! What more could a girl want? *****

Fantastic experience: Been going to Faster Robinson location since March 2017. Truly amazing facility with some of the best personal trainers, and very friendly front desk personnel. Their philosophy for training and nutrition truly does work, just got to put in the work. They offer state of the art Inbody scan to track your results. They have there own brand of vitamins and supplements, which do work. Believe it and you will achieve it!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing fit family

Fantastic experience: I have been training/working out at this location since February 2018. Faster is a phenomenal, state of the art facility with trainers that truly care about your personal progress and can adapt the workouts for any fitness level. The atmosphere is fun and engaging and it makes you actually enjoy working out. Everyone is so encouraging and the classes are upbeat and challenging. I promise if you give Faster a try, you will never leave!

Fantastic experience: 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 you're 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.

Fantastic experience: Went to work out this morning. It was awesome! I like the Beaver location, its close and they are so supportive. Love Faster Fitness Beaver!

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I checked this place out. They are great - welcoming, encouraging and caring. They will work with your needs and around any issues you may have.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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 isn't 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. I'll forever be grateful for my coaches, and for the DeRose family. This isn't just a gym, and I am not just a dollar sign... this is the true definition of a TEAM.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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 didn't 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!

Fantastic experience: Signed up for their Blizzard Body Challenge during the first week in January... Fell in love with the facility, classes, and training almost immediately! The staff and trainers are wonderful and the results are inevitable. I noticed a difference after my first few classes. So happy I took the plunge!

Fantastic experience: Faster is a fun and positive place to work out! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The staff are so enthusiastic it makes working out fun. The EFX classes are always different and such a great workout. I really love this place and am so glad I’m a member!

Fantastic experience: 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 don't 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.

Fantastic experience: FASTER Pittsburgh is AMAZING! This gym was designed for people of all ages and athletic levels. If you are NEW TO WORKING OUT you will be amazed at the kind, helpful staff that walk you through each step of your workout to ensure you are performing each move properly and that you are getting the most from your workout. You will LOVE the other members of Faster. There is no intimidation. Everyone treats each other like family. If you are looking to IMPROVE YOUR LEVEL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS or ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS when participating in a particular sport, then there is NO BETTER PLACE TO GO. The variety is simply amazing. Each day is filled with new adventures. You will quickly find that you have an increased level of self confidence and a new family of fitness enthusiasts! I would HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone. It has been a life changing experience for me.

Fantastic experience: 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!!

Fantastic experience: 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 Faster's 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!

Fantastic experience: I started at Faster with the 21 day challenge and can already notice a difference! The EFX classes are an awesome way to get exercise. They are always different and challenge me to do my best every time I go!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely fell in love!! I do personal training twice a week and do the EFX and MFX classes a couple of times a week as well and I feel so much stronger already! They even have a Build bar which I can get a delicious and nutritious shake after each workout! Faster has everything you need to get back into shape and live a healthy life! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic 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 don't understand how to do something. I love it here !

Fantastic experience: 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. The EFX classes are not only challenging, but fun and can accommodate any fitness level. I highly recommend giving Faster a chance, my only regret is not joining sooner!

Fantastic experience: This gym will motivate you in a non-intimidating way to become a healthier version of you. They have great trainers and amazing staff. Check out their location in southpointe or Robinson if you live in or around the Pittsburgh area.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE the staff and fellow clients at Faster Pittsburgh - it's 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. It's able to capture personal fitness training in a group setting, it's 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 - it's 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!

Fantastic experience: I started at FASTER as part of the 21 day challenge and it's awesome! Everyone has been so welcoming, energetic, fun, and truly helpful. Each coach seems really dedicated to providing an amazing experience each day. I look forward to coming and leave feeling great! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to FASTER by my running group about a year ago & I've 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 can't 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a way to shake up your fitness routine, this is absolutely the place to go. Faster is an incredibly supportive, welcoming and fun place to reach your fitness goals, whatever they 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!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Signed up for the 21 Day challenge and it has been a great experience. Great staff, great facility and great programs! They all know you by name and have the best smiles on their faces. EFX is a wonderful program and I look forward to continuing with them!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Faster Pittsburgh for almost 9 months now and I am thankful I have Jason DeRose and staff in my life now. Their support, energy and positivity has helped me change my life habits and decisions. I physically and mentally feel stronger and that is due to Faster Pittsburgh. I just wish I'd have found them sooner!!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I love working out at FASTER. I've been there since 2011, but most recently signed up for the 3-week challenge. I love the personal training sessions, Kam's 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!

Fantastic experience: I've 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 that's optimized for me and my schedule, and they've created something else for me that I've been lacking in my physical training--accountability. I have no doubt that Faster is what I've needed all along to reach my personal fitness and performance goals.

Fantastic experience: Faster Pittsburgh is the best gym in the area. From the staff that knows you by name, to the great recovery smoothies after a workout. Highly recommend it for someone just getting back into shape or contuniuing to better themselves.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. Very friendly staff and the personal attention you receive is beyond belief. The work outs are so much fun that it makes it just that much easier to be there. I plan on spending a lot of time at this gym.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: A great friend encouraged me to sign up a for Faster's 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!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: The staff and trainers are top notch. They make it a point to make you feel comfortable and know your name. That personal touch makes a difference. The facility is great and the EFX classes encompass a full body workout. I am impressed with this gym

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: I can't 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!

Fantastic experience: 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. It's very refreshing to come here and receive so much support and encouragement. It's safe to say I'm hooked! If you're looking for a challenging yet fun workout, stop by Faster!

Fantastic experience: An awesome one-stop shop. Judgment-free zone. Super friendly staff that go out of their way to help you and treat you like family. A place to better yourself physically and mentally! The personal training sessions, chiropractic care, and massage therapy have changed my life! Highly recommend this health center!

Fantastic experience: I am a former D1 soccer player and have been looking for something to challenge me and something I enjoy. This place is it for certain! They are super professional, and the organization is run very well. I am impressed and will continue to recommend FASTER. I am so glad I found them!!

Fantastic experience: 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, can't say enough good things about it or Coach!

Fantastic experience: FASTER is an amazing program to get involved in. Whether you want to get into tip top shape or are training for some sport, thy really know how to work you and will push you to get better! The people of FASTER are awesome and very knowledgeable. I want to thank the FASTER crew for pushing me back into shape!

Fantastic experience: A friend of mine had been wanting me to join for a long time. I finally did it and I wish I had done it sooner. Best gym around and I love the people, the atmosphere, and the workouts are all amazing. So glad to be part of this gym finally and really enjoy every minute of it.

Fantastic experience: 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. I'd 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. She's a Beachbody master trainer. The whole staff is outstanding! And beyond the staff, the other members are welcoming and encourage you on your journey. I've met so many wonderful people at Faster. The EFX class format pairs you with another one of Faster's 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!
