Awesome facility, everything you need for strength training. Helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Highly recommend

I’ve been working with Tim and Freddie at Elite Custom Fitness for the past year. I’m 50 years old and have a goal to be exercising and lifting weights well into my 70’s. What I love most about Tim and Freddie is the focus on form. I’ve been lifting weights since high school and only now realize that I did not know enough about good safe form. Tim has spent an enormous amount of time working with me to understand and fine tune the correct form to reduce the risk of injury. All of my lifts are feeling better. My core muscles are tighter than they have ever been. With the help of Tim and Freddie at Elite, I have no concerns about being able to continue weight bearing exercises for another 30 years. I would recommend Elite to anyone with any health goals, large or small. The personal attention, education and training programs are incredible. And the gym environment is fantastic through a combination of jokes, sweat and family.

If youre interested in learning how to safely lose some weight while also increasing your muscle tone, then I recommend this gym. The trainers are not only knowledgeable, but also care about the progress of each member. While workouts can be challenging, I always walk away feeling like I accomplished something and am getting closer to my end goal. No matter if you cant remember the last time you exercised, or youre a competitive athlete, you should give this gym a look.

I have been working out at Elite Custom Fitness for over 2 years. Tim, Freddy and Jess are incredibly knowledgeable and professional. After understanding your goals, their sole focus is making sure you can achieve success. Your workout is tailored to your needs. The atmosphere is fun and supportive and the music always blasting away. The gym is very old-school and there is always something new to learn. Ive worked out at a number of places over the years and I cant recommend Elite Custom Fitness enough!

A gym that truly cares and knows what they are doing.I am very happy with my experience at Elite so far. Tim and Freddie truly care about my goals, my health, and my safety to not injure myself when working out. It is common to find gyms that just let you do your own thing without giving any feedback or guidance, but Elite is not this way, they help you every step of the way and dont look at you as just a number. I highly recommend this gym!

EFC is an awesome place for working out! Tim is super knowledgeable on the foundation needed for lifting. His explanations are simple and easy to understand. I’ve been dealing with hip tightness for years with my squatting technique and he immediately identified my limitation. I now have a plan in place to correct it. Highly recommend elite custom fitness.

The team at ECF are wonderful! If your looking to take your exercise routine to the next level this is the place for you. Receive individual training programs tailored to your needs and abilities from educated and personable trainers. I can not express how they have changed my life. I started with them almost 2 yrs ago and I have increased my strength and continue to be injury free! Friendly non intimidating atmosphere. I definitely suggest you check them out!!

Finding ECF and training with Tim has been the best training experience I’ve had. Tim has a great understanding of strength and conditioning principles and has helped me beyond what I would have expected. The gym atmosphere is motivating, everyone is trying to get better every workout, which leads to continued success. There are no cookie cutter workouts or training without a plan for your goals like a lot of gyms. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

Tim is a great trainer. He uses his education and knowledge to create an atmosphere of accomplishment for his clients. The programs he creates are based on the individual, and expertly modified if needed. By following the program Tim designed for me, my endurance has increased and I am significantly stronger. The environment is perfect for someone who seriously wants to improve and learn. This is not a situation where you are waiting in line for a piece of equipment, or trying to remember how the trainer told you to do an exercise during a 20 minute orientation. Here you get skilled, professional, one-on-one attention during each and every session. Tim’s personality makes training fun. I highly recommend ECF.

Great knowledgeable trainer. Facility has everything you need to become strong. Tim loves training and loves getting better every workout and building on a long term change in attitude and lifestyle.He is not only a great trainer but a great person who I am glad to have met since moving from out of town. Give him a try and you will not be upset. I personally went from being afraid of a weight room and Tim was able to take me from that mentality to one who feels excited to show up and see my results. He was always encouraging and makes training comfortable and enjoyable.

Jordan is a great trainer! He was originally helping me train for a rigorous military school and even after, I continue to train with him. Everyone at Elite is friendly and welcoming.

I came to Elite after it was recommended by a friend. I had been having issues with my shoulder and Tim was able to identify what I was doing wrong and correct my form, since then I have not experienced any issues with my shoulder. Tim was also able to fix my form on other lifts. I have only been going for a few months but Tim has been able to increase my PRs while improving my form and reducing the risk of injury. Freddie and Jess are also very helpful and supportive and the group always encourage and assist you whenever needed it. My time at Elite has certainly been my most productive and enjoyable gym experience yet.

ECF is a great place to work out. My 1-on-1 classes are fun, challenging and motivating. What makes this place different from any other gym is the personal attention you receive from the charismatic trainers (Tim, Jess and Freddie) and the always positive environment.

Tim, Jess, and Freddie are the best! They tailor your training to your personal goals with professionalism and expertise. Yet they make you feel so comfortable that its not long before you feel part of the ECF family. Choosing ECF was one of the best decisions Ive made when it comes to my fitness and wellness.

Tim has started something special at Elite. This isnt only a gym to me, its become a second family. When we train, we work hard. Tim holds everyone accountable, if I miss a session, he always reaches out to make sure I am doing okay and that Im not going to miss another one. Hes honest, he pushes every one of us, and he genuinely wants everyone to get better. Im very thankful I found Elite. Not only for my health, but also the camaraderie with all of the other members. When someone new begins their journey at Elite, they are introduced around and accepted almost immediately. That is not something you see at many gyms. There isnt a better gym in Pittsburgh. #weareelite #ecf #elite

Best trainer! Fun environment! Includes people of all levels of physical fitness.

I have learned many new things about lifting from Tim. I wanted to see a total body transformation, and he is helping me to be achieve that goal. My progress has been consistent while my workouts have been challenging and vary nicely. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone.

Tim is the best trainer Ive worked with in 15 years of competitive sports. Workouts are challenging, but the atmosphere makes it fun. He will produce results!

ECF SAVED MY LIFE!!! I was that person growing up that was always active. I played multiple sports, loved being outside and could never sit still. I eventually ended up joining the United States Marine Corps and becoming a Firefighter. I did this form 99-2010. After I got out, I stayed with the fire service until 2012 when I got sick. From this I put on a lot of weight and was very out of shape! It got so bad that I couldnt even tie my shoes without getting out of breath. I finally had enough. The day before this past Thanksgiving I walked into ECF and loudly said I NEED HELP!!! Im fat and out of shape and I dont know what to do. I owe more than I can ever express to Tim, Freddy and Jess. Not only do they train you but you become a part of the ECF family. This is a place where they push you to limits you didnt know you could reach anymore, a place that after a workout you may not be able to walk the next day or lift your arms, a place where you know theyre putting 110% into you and you want to give it right back! If you are looking for a place to make true changes in life, this is where it starts!

Tim Merolillo and ECF are the real deal. Best trainer in the greater Pittsburgh area --hands down.

The gym has everything you need - I was actually trying out new equipment that I had never seen before in an LA fitness or Lifetime Fitness. Tim was extremely nice and chill! The gym seemed to have a very supportive atmosphere where everyone is friendly with each other and pushing each other to do well!
