“I’m so happy I found PNF!” – An interview with PNF Member Patty P.
What were your workouts like before joining?
I’ve tried many different kinds of workouts before joining PNF. I had hired a personal trainer at a larger “chain” gym and not that the trainer was bad, but I did not lose any weight!
I just don’t think he tailored it enough to my specific needs. I also joined other gyms, but found myself focusing solely on the elliptical and treadmill. I lost some weight, but then I think my body grew accustomed to the same workout, and I stopped losing weight.
I also bought several workout DVDs, but soon lost the motivation to keep up with those as there was no customization with the workouts, and they soon grew boring.
As far as nutrition, I did not eat terribly. If anything, at times I did not eat enough! This I found later only hindered my progress. Now, I am more aware of the choices I make and how my nutrition affects my exercise and vice versa. Exercising makes me want to eat healthier, and eating healthier helps my workouts! It’s a win/win!
What obstacles did you have to overcome to join and how did you overcome them?
It wasn’t so much an obstacle I had to overcome to join, it was just that I finally was fed up with feeling unhealthy.
I actually remember the day sitting at work when I realized I had had enough and needed to make a change. I had gained weight, was tired a lot, and knew I wasn’t eating right. I saw an ad on Facebook for a three week Bootcamp at PNF. I loved the Bootcamp and joined as a member shortly after! It was the best decision I’ve made to try it out! I’m healthier, happier, and have made some amazing friends thanks to PNF!
What are your workouts like now?
I workout 3 to 4 times a week, and take part in mostly the Cardio Power and Boxing Bootcamp classes. I love the variety that each class offers, and I always leave each class feeling like I was pushed enough to really get an effective workout. It’s kind of crazy to say, but I actually crave going to this gym!
What specific results have you gotten since joining?
I joined PNF a little over a year ago, and have since lost 41 lbs. I think more importantly though I just feel healthier and stronger, have more energy, and I don’t tend to get sick. My eating habits and nutrition have improved as well since starting at PNF.
Would you recommend PNF to someone and why?
I definitely would recommend PNF, and have already to several friends and family. I can’t help but talk about all of the benefits of being a member of this gym, how it has improved my overall health, and the awesome staff that work here!

“Pittsburgh North Fitness offered me a program of functional resistance training, sensible nutrition and the support and motivation that helped shed my excess weight fast. I have lost 42 pounds and am 5 pants sizes smaller than I was 5 months ago. The great thing is their program is also helping me to keep it off for good. Give PNF 30 days and see how they can change your life. They certainly have changed mine.”

I walked into Pittsburgh North Fitness in the Spring of 2012 knowing that I needed a change. Unhappy and unhealthy, I unsuccessfully tried several times to change my habits. 18 months, 50 pounds, and 4 dress sizes later I can say that I have been successful because of Pittsburgh North Fitness. I love starting my day lifting weights and challenging myself with the ever-changing workouts. I not only look forward to the workout, but also to seeing the other people I am training with. I feel like I am part of a community, not an anonymous gym-goer.
The coaches at Pittsburgh North Fitness seem to have an insight into what it really takes to live a healthy lifestyle. They are knowledgeable about training, nutrition, and making it work in the real world. I can’t thank them enough for how they have changed my life.

“When I joined PNF two years ago, I primarily joined to lose weight. What I didn’t expect was the increased confidence, improved health better eating habits and a different perspective on exercise for myself and my family. I have made many ‘gym’ friends, who along with the attentiveness of the PNF staff, help to encourage and challenge me each workout. And make it fun!”

“Pittsburgh North Fitness has become a lifestyle for me. The coaches are not only outstanding people personally, but they know, REALLY know what they are doing.
I have said goodbye to aches and pains, a weak knee, and 4 dress sizes. I have gained a team I trust with my health and fitness…”

I love everything about this place! I am so thankful that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and joined one of the 21-day challenges. In that short time, I really was surprised by how much stronger I was getting and how much I looked forward to going to the gym! This is unlike any gym I’ve ever tried. It’s always a challenge, never the same, and the trainers are there to help you and push you. It’s the perfect place for all fitness levels!!
