Picking the Best CrossFit Pittsburgh Box

By March 26, 2019April 2nd, 2019No Comments

Are you new to CrossFit and trying to figure out which CrossFit gym is the Best CrossFit Pittsburgh Box?  We get it, there are a lot out there to choose from. When we opened in 2013, there weren’t nearly so many options.  However, as CrossFit grew in popularity, so did the number of CrossFit boxes in Pittsburgh. The tricky part is that not all CrossFit boxes are created equal.  So, again, how do you determined the best CrossFit Pittsburgh box?

The first thing you need to do is check out the website and social media for each CrossFit box you are considering.  Does the gym has a clean website? Is it user friendly and give you the information you need? In today’s internet world, a website is like a business’s storefront.  If the website isn’t clean and easy to navigate, that can be indicative of the actual business. We’ve spent a lot of time making sure we present our brand through our website.  We believe that it shows you the welcoming Community we spend so much time trying to create.

Looking at the social media, does the CrossFit box even have Facebook and Instagram accounts?  Sure, that seems obvious, but we are always amazed to find out that other gyms either don’t have a social media presence, or it is really lacking.  If the CrossFit box does have an active social media, what does it contain? Is it just a bunch of random pictures of their members? Or, does the social media present a story of the gym’s culture showing a community, sharing knowledge, and celebrating successes?  Does the community look like something you want to be a part of? We are at “Industrial Athletics” on both Facebook and Instagram. You will see links to articles sharing knowledge, recipes, our members, the social events we host in and out of the gym, and all that we do in our surrounding Pittsburgh community.   

From the website, the best CrossFit Pittsburgh boxes will make it easy for you to contact them.  Did someone respond to you quickly? Does the CrossFit box clearly show an interest in the value of your contact?  Or, did you have to wait until it was convenient for them to get back to you? As soon as we see your email, we call or text you.  We can’t wait to share Industrial Athletics with you, so we can barely contain our excitement.

The best CrossFit Pittsburgh boxes are going to bring you into the gym to share their community almost any way possible.  At Industrial Athletics, we do this through a free introduction. It is a no obligation one-on-one session with our owner or head coach.  We show you how we teach CrossFit in a safe and informative manner. After the free introduction, we spend time with you in our Fundamentals Program teaching you all you need to know before joining the full CrossFit class.  

As the best CrossFit Pittsburgh box, we believe in elevating the individual.  We pay attention to you and your goals. We make sure you that you reach those goals in a safe manner so that you can continue to receive the benefits of CrossFit, our Culture, and our Community for a long time.  We also make you part of our Community. It is vast social network that provide support, accountability, and fun. We are constantly planning and participating in social events both inside and outside of the gym. We also get involved in volunteer opportunities so we are always giving back to the city we love.  We will be more to you than just a place to sweat.
