| - Modern, spacious, clean. Very well-equipped. Hubby and I checked out several other gyms in Pittsburgh before joining UA and we really like it there.
All of the group classes and spinning are included with the membership, and you can pay a little extra to add unlimited tanning to your membership if that is your thing. (It's not really mine, so I can't comment on the quality of the tanning beds or anything.)
One of my favorite features is the "cardio cinema," a room full of treadmills, elliptical trainers etc. where they project movies onto a big screen with surround sound. It is really easy to lose track of time when you're in there -- in the best of ways! Sometimes the movie of the day is a bit of a stinker (could they PLEASE stop playing All About Steve?) but for the most part, it is a neat addition to the gym.
The pool is warm and generally isn't very crowded, for those of you who might be interested in swimming laps.
There are tons of trainers and they often offer special pricing on training packages...
Generally friendly staff and the pricing is reasonable. And the post-workout shakes, while not cheap, are DELICIOUS and a great, healthful source of nutrition after a long workout.
The only cons I can think of are a) It would be really nice if there were a couple more showers in the ladies locker room, it can get a bit crowded during busy times of the day. b) I find it annoying to pay for a gym membership and then see employees standing around when there are free weights and stuff lying around where they shouldn't be. I realize that they can't control the behavior/habits of gym members, but they could take a few minutes and clean things up if they're between appointments, etc.
I would really recommend looking into this gym if you're on the market!
