The absolute best powerlifting gym in Pittsburgh, if you dont believe me then simply go inside and sign up ! Fair prices, and more equipment than even Ronnie Coleman would need

Just started lifting here but the place is amazing. Never a wait for a rack. Everything is always in good order. Some of the machines look straight out of the 80s, which is probably because thats where they are from, but they all work. Good old school bodybuilding gym. And Ryan is very friendly and helpful. Can not recommend enough.

This is a great gym. Its everything you would and should want from a gym. Great machines, equipment, and most importantly people. The owners of this gym really do their best to make you feel welcome, answer questions, and really go the extra mile for their patrons. I hope to be going here for a long time.

Great staff ! Since I been back they been very cautious with people keeping their mask on . And working well with social FITNESSING 😊 while i work out I always see staff members sanitizing machines and cleaning the floors ! Really helpful respectful trainer & staff . I never really feel uncomfortable when I walk in this gym ! Appreciate our hard workers . & this location.

They have excellent equipment and the gym itself is pristine. Its always clean. It was clean before Covid and the system they have in place now is above and beyond.Management is wonderful: helpful and generally pleasant to be around. The care, time, and attention they have put into this place makes it a truly amazing gym.As a customer I have never felt as appreciated as Cellis makes me feel. I really feel like part of a community when Im there and I genuinely enjoy my workouts in this gym.

I recently joined Cellis and am absolutely thrilled to have found Dana and Ryan! After being a member of several gyms, I have finally discovered the absolute best workout facility. They are professional, kind and meticulous about their gym, and super supportive of members. The training sessions, equipment, space, accessibilty, and community are as good as it gets. Thank you!

Great gym with no frills for folks looking to just put the work in. Ryan is great to train with and has taught me so much. If you are serious about getting stronger, this is the right spot.

Absolutely spectacular top of the line gym! From beginners to pros, all levels are welcomed in a true JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE unlike any other gym who claim to be but arent. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful.You can make some great friends. Learn a lot and feel good about yourself no matter what level you are atRyan and Dana are wonderful and very friendly helpful owners. Their attention to detail and cleanliness is like no otherOnly regret you will have is not going

Part of me has always wanted to keep this place a secret - but Celli’s is BY FAR the best gym I’ve ever been to. While they advertise as a serious powerlifting gym, that shouldn’t turn anyone away. If you’re looking to compete - google Ryan Celli. If you’re looking for a judgement-free gym with no BS - that’s Celli’s! I’m more of a get-in-get-out lifter, but there is a serious support system of great people that can hold you accountable too. They have the best personal-training too! A few sessions with Ryan helped me rehab through serious knee pain, and also added 400+ to my total.

Best weightlifting gym I have ever been to. I highly recommend personal training with Ryan Celli for anyone who is looking to learn how to properly perform the main powerlifting movements or how to make an effective strength training program. He is extremely knowledgeable of the lifts and the common mistakes made and is able to effectively coach good habits. He is always patient, compassionate, and supportive with his trainees. I never feel rushed and always feel that his primary goal is my own success. My only regret is that I didnt find him sooner!

What I LOVE 💕 about the Celli’s Gym Ryan Celli and Dana Celli who’ve I’ve known for over 15 years is that while I’m working out with some of the recorded strongest people in the world 🌍 it is a NO JUDGEMENT zone!! Thank you for all you to do to help everyone be their best. Also always clean, social distancing in place!!

I love this place! I train with Ryan Celli, and he is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgable. He will help you get very strong with little risk of injury as he knows exactly when and when not to push you. As a former (recreational) ballerina, the thought of strength training in a power-lifting gym once intimidated me. But, Cellis Fitness Center is so welcoming. Id recommend it to anyone who wants to get strong, whether they are an expert or a complete novice.

Ryan is the best coach you can ask for, he will give you perfect tips that will makes things click just right. Great equipment and fantastic gym as well. Thank you Ryan!

Ryan is a great coach and really takes the time to help you make sure youre learning the lifts the right way and sets you up for success. The gym is great and everyone there is very knowledgeable and willing to help.

This place is packed full of Top of the Line equipment !I was in Pittsburgh for a month, liked everything about this gym. Owner and his wife are really nice and Very experienced.They even play good music which is rare.They can have my business whenever Im in the city

Top of the line experience - staff is great and the community is way better than youll find at any other local gym!

I’ve been training at Celli’s for 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s the best gym in the Pittsburgh area and arguably the state if you want to learn the correct way to powerlift. Not only are Ryan and Dana incredible people, they know their stuff. They create individualized workout and diet plans for each of their clients and their dedication to each of us and their gym really shows. The atmosphere is great as well. The gym is always full of motivating people willing to lend a hand, spot your heavy lift or watch a video of your lift to ensure your form is correct. Super grateful to be apart of Celli’s.

Fantastic owners, great equipment, and a very bright future for this fitness club. I cant recommend it highly enough. Thank you!

I have been going to Celli’s Fitness for about 9 months now. I cannot say enough about the quality of the culture / equipment / people. I have made more progress towards my goals since I started at Celli’s than I ever have in the past. Everyone wants you to succeed. You never feel out of place asking someone to spot a heavy bench or squat or watch your form to see if you’re hitting depth. I’ve worked with Ryan in one-on-one training sessions and really learned a lot about programming and technique. Any time I feel like I’ve hit a wall, Ryan has a way of getting me around it. I recommend Celli’s any time I get a chance.

Contacted via email regarding personal training. Someone reached out to me and asked for me to provide my telephone number if I wanted to talk further and gave me a range of times they would give me a call. I responded by giving my telephone number and my interest in speaking with someone, but no one ever called.

Ryan and his wife do a great job. If youre serious about your health and fitness, this is the place to go. Great personal training for both men and women.

In April 2017, I joined Cellis Fitness to learn more about weight training and power lifting. I started off training with Dana Celli and immediately loved coming into the gym and working with her.Not only is this gym supportive of it members to reach their fitness goals, but its a small community of folks who have something to bring to one another and learn from. Thank you, Dana and Ryan Celli!

Best gym in Pittsburgh, the experience and knowledge held by trainers and members is invaluable.

I am a general surgery resident and amateur lifter living in Pittsburgh. I have been squatting, benching, and deadlifting for 10 years off and on and thought I had it all figured out. My PRs were BP 245, SQ 365, DL 365. So naturally I thought I’d check a real powerlifting gym out, get some pointers, and make some gains. I met Ryan Celli and signed up for an intro package of just the main lifts. I was blown away. He has completely changed my understanding of the main lifts. As soon as I implemented his tips, I felt more stable and powerful. I cannot recommend this gym and Ryan highly enough. He is a master of his craft and a phenomenal teacher. If you are serious about lifting visit Celli’s Gym. The picture below is from one of the training sessions with the main man watching like a hawk!

Ive lived in Miami, Michigan, and pittsburgh. Without doubt, best gym Ive been too. Very friendly, amazing lifters. All people are welcomed, from rookies (me) to professional competitors. Extremely fare price and wayyyyyy better than Golds, YMCA etc.

My favorite part of traveling to different hospitals this year has been meeting people and trying out different gyms. This is how I ended up meeting Ryan Celli (World record holder in powerlifting and the owner of Cellis Fitness gym ). Ryan is an absolute monster in the gym but very humble and is always willing to help and share his wisdom. He took his time and dedicated it to fixing my poverty bench, poverty squats, and poverty deadlifts. He is an amazing individual and has a wealth of knowledge. Spending 3 days with him working on my form was very insightful and I am sure will result in many positive outcomes in my strength training and just life in general.Couldnt be more thankful.If you are ever in Pittsburgh, I highly recommend stopping by Cellis Fitness.

Went on a Sunday morning and got a great lift in. Place is equipped with enough equipment for the raw or geared powerlifter, bodybuilder, oly lifter and fighter. Steve was the front desk manager and he was incredibly helpful and delightful and chatted us up for a bit. Overall awesome experience.

Cellis Fitness has changed my life. Period. Since coming to Cellis, Ive completely changed my body and Ive also competed in two powerlifting meets. Powerlifting has become a hobby of mine and Ive been able to reach major goals with the help of Ryan and Dana. I have also met so many awesome people here and enjoy each time I come to this gym. If youre interested in powerlifting, this is the place to learn and train. If youre looking for a great gym with a friendly atmosphere, this is also the place to learn and train.

IF YOURE A POWERLIFTER AND LOOKING FOR A GYM, THIS IS IT!!!!Ryan Celli is a powerlifting legend but also, very humble and friendly. His gym has everything you need if you’re looking to get strong/big with an amazing environment to go with it.I also had personal training sessions with him where he went over the powerlifts, and he is a great teacher. His style of motivating you for doing something right and then pointing out what to change makes you feel good about yourself at the end of the session. Highly recommend!

If youre looking for a place to TRAIN and not go through the motions this is where you come. Best hardcore gym in Pittsburgh, this is where you come to crush PRs. Knowledgeable staff and plenty of equipment for any sort of programming. It has a monolift, power racks, bands, chains, boxes, Texas power bars, Rogue bars, Texas deadlift bar, Texas squat bar, iron Wolfe squat bar, and every other specialty bar you can think of. Also if youre a beginner and want to learn how to lift safely and correctly I highly recommend coming here and learning to do it right the first time around.

Best powerlifting gym in Pittsburgh. All levels from beginners that never picked up a dumbell before to powerlifters and body builders that compete regularly. Very friendly environment and 100% judge free. they have the best equipment and most importantly unmatched expertise. And if you are interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they share the facilities with True Believer Jiu Jitsu. Everything is always very clean.

Ryan Celli is the best trainer I have ever worked with. You can watch youtube posts all you want, but to truly learn you need cues individualized to your body mechanics. I hurt my back deadlifting prior to working with Ryan and it took me 8 months to get back in the gym. Had I trained with Ryan to start with it would have never happened. This is a great powerlifting gym as well and has everything you could ever want for powerlifting.

Friendly gym with good equipment.

Great gym! Been going here almost three years.

Clean and friendly atmosphere!

Best gym in Pittsburgh.

Very well
