I started attending classes at Top Tier September 2020 and have been addicted ever since! From cardio to kickboxing there is always something to do and keep yourself busy and in shape. Even the new wrestling/grappling class has started great. The staff is always attentive and focused on making everyone better and reaching their goals big or small and I’d recommend Top Tier to anyone

My sons both loved the free tutorial class, will be signing them up for the memberships

This place has become a second home to me. The workouts are amazing, the owners are super down to earth, the trainers are at the top of their game and always switching it up to keep your body in the best shape it can be, and the community of members - outstanding. It’s such a welcoming atmosphere all around. And the recovery room? Unbelievable. From Red Light Therapy, Sauna, Inversion Table, massage therapy, the list goes on. I cannot recommend this place enough. Look forward to continuing as a dedicated member for many years to come! And my son loves the kids classes too!!!

Wide variety of coaches, classes, rigor, and availability. Coaches are intuitive and responsive to participant needs. Always rigorous, fun and respectful environment. Gym is clean, owners are always researching and adding additional services to ensure the best outcome for participants. The age and ability range of participants varies. Plenty of encouragement and camaraderie between participants and coaches. All around great place to workout.

Love this gym!! Been going here 3 times a week for months. All fitness/skill levels are made to feel welcome. This is the first gym that I have been to that really helps you to improve your form while getting a great workout. I can honestly say that you become part of the Top Tier family when you join this gym.

Mike and Bobby and all of the teachers there are great! They go over all the moves and they help find alternate moves if you have difficulty with any of them. They pick up your spirit and encourage the hell out of you. I recommend this place highly! I love coming to the gym.

The best decision I ever made was joining Top Tier. I have tried many gyms with machines and wait times, that were Not rewarding. Top Tier gives me more of a workout, both professionally and with great attitudes! I enjoy going and reap the rewards of a great workout. Kudos to the entire staff!

I have been going for about two weeks and am really happy with my experience. I have not taken any of the advanced classes but plan to once I can make it through a basic class with out taking any additional breaks. As far as the community goes every one is very helpful. Several times someone has stopped to give me pointers. The trainer is pretty easy going he encourages you to work hard but doesnt berate you for taking a break. The facilities are clean. you can see on the schedule they have an hour of every day dedicated to cleaning on top of wiping down bags after every use and if there is someone really sweaty (me) they will clean the floor. Solid place. Worth the money.

I joined Top Tier in December of 2019. I joined because I needed to work on my health. My trips to Top Tier quickly became something I not only needed but wanted to do. Having a rough day? Go punch the bag and it all falls away. The classes are fantastic for stress relief, the instructors are high energy and motivating and the workouts offer fitness for many different levels from novice to advanced. Best money I ever spent.

The instructors are super friendly and always willing to go above and beyond to help you in anyway! The classes are great sizes and the people who attend the classes are very friendly. Best gym I ever been too. I have been trying new classes with different instructors every chance I get!!

This gym does not disappoint. So happy I started coming here, great atmosphere and awesome coaches. Literally has become my home away from home. If you are looking for a fun, hard workout then this is the place for you.

Top tier is a really welcoming and fun environment. I have been a member of this gym for over 4 years and I highly recommend it to everyone. Whether you are new to working out or someone who works out all of the time, there is something for everyone!

I credit Top tier for putting me on the path to achieving a new and improved version of myself. Michael and Bobby are top tier (no pun intended) trainers and know exactly how to get me to push myself beyond what I could do. The results I have seen in my cardio, strength, flexibility and over all well being is astounding.

I cant tell you how much I love Top Tier! The trainers are top notch. Very experienced and helpful. The classes are great! They work with all levels of ability and fitness. Check them out, you wont be sorry!

Such a great place to work out. The classes go by so fast and the teachers/people who attend the classes are wonderful. They became some of my favorite people and very good friends of mine. Theyre so encouraging and supportive

This gym serves all. Yoga with Laura is amazing and puts me back together.

Ive had such a great experience at Top Tier this year, as a workout and covid stress reliever. This is my first time doing kickboxing, but the teachers and the smaller class structure have taught me so much in just a month. Ive especially enjoyed classes with Lisa R....she is knowledgeable in post-partum recovery workouts and is a great motivator.

Top Tier is an awesome gym! I’ve been going here for over 4 years now and absolutely love it. The trainers/instructors are fantastic and all the people you meet are fun and kind and helpful. There is no judgement and everyone is very supportive and welcoming. There’s no pretentiousness or cliques to worry about. You can go here for weight loss, personal fitness goals, improving confidence and strength, and for actual MMA or kickboxing. I recommend it to literally all of my family and friends. And perfect strangers. (Go here, it’s great!!)

I take the Kickboxing classes. Literally, burn 700-900 calories every class. Instructors are helpful, fun, and create a positive experience every time. They let you set your own pace and challenge you at that pace. Fun cardio. Always something new and challenging.

Joining Top Tier Gym was honestly the best thing that I’ve ever done for myself. The atmosphere is great. Everyone is supportive and fun and the trainers are the best!!

Within 5 minutes of stepping foot in the door I knew I had found not only a gym that perfectly fits my fitness and martial arts goals, but I had also found a community and family. Mike and Bobby are such good guys that are very clearly dedicated to not just running a business but to cultivating each and every member they teach. Their technique is on point and if you are interested in learning more about form they will absolutely get you there. If you just want a good sweat and a sense of accomplishment then this is it! In addition to the gym aspect there is a fantastic recovery room. I regularly use the infrared light therapy, sauna and steam pod for muscle recovery as well as overall reduction in inflammation. Ive had tendonitis in both of my feet and both of my elbows for years. Within 8 weeks of using the infrared light therapy 3-5 days per week I noticed that all of my tendonitis went away despite continuing with the high-intensity activities that used to irritate it . Its truly amazing!

Great people and a great workout! I have and would recommend this gym to friends and colleagues. I highly recommend the advanced kickboxing classes if you have some prior experience!!

Terrific for my sons (18 yr, 14 yr.) and I! We are all motivated to get up for early classes, we sweat like crazy, members and staff are awesome, clean, fun, great investment!

Great atmosphere, very welcoming to beginners. This MMA gym has everything.You get out of this gym what you put in. If you’re looking to lose weight, they are ready to help you (get ready to sweat. Likewise, if you are looking to learn how to fight, they are also ready. This gym is for everyone. I highly recommend this place.Side note: if you are worried to start because of COVID. They take a lot of precautions to insure your safety.

Instructors are good and very knowledgeable. Great community with other members as well.

Its a McDojo.. if you think you are learning to fight there, you arent sorry. They advertise MMA and kickboxing but thats not what they teach. Watch their sparing videos.. Also becareful of the parking lot and stairs going to the gym. They are dark and dangerous especially in the winter!!

I usually don’t write a reviews, but wanted to say couple words to these guys.I love this place. I found this place thru the Instagram adv, decided to give a try.Signed up for 4 month weight loss challenge. After a month of me being there I already knew, that I’ll keep going. I love absolutely everything about this place. Good trainers, good community, good communication. It’s nothing close to your regular gym. If you come there, you know for sure, you’ll work out hard. Classes are different from high intensive cardio to boot camp. Very good prices, comparing to the others. I am highly recommending this place to everyone, who wants to lose weight, get back in shape, good workout with perfect company. It’s never boring. I think 4 or 5 of my friends signed n up after me and they love it too. I

I absolutely LOVE top tier! If you are looking into trying any kind of MMA, this is definitely the place to start!

Great place with no judgement! The owners are very good people.

Best gym and coaches around! Great workouts and a place to burn and sweat!

Top Tier MMA is a fun, Kickass atmosphere that helps you physically and mentally! The coaches are amazing and make you feel like family. If you’re just looking to have some fun, lose weight, relieve stress, build some muscle or for a fun gym, then join the TT family! Let’s go!!! (Lauren Shifrin - the name on here is my middle name lol)

This is one of the best gyms i have ever been too. I made great friends and the coaches are some of the best in the business. I have nothing but love and great memories being welcomed to the top tier family. Even though i had to leave Pittsburgh I will always rep Top Tier and all the staff you know who you guys are the coolest dudes in the burgh. Much love and respect.

Great workout and great instructors that help you succeed at your goals.

The place is very friendly and the trainers are very encouraging and helpfull

I’ve been working out with Mike for 3 years now. I’m 3+ years in remission from having cancer. My oncologist said to me recently, you’re my healthiest patient. You’re incredible shape and you drive me crazy, because you don’t listen to me. Whatever it is that you’re doing keep doing it! When I got sick, I went from running marathons to barely being able to walk 20 minutes and I lost all of my muscle mass. I joined Mike’s gym three years ago hoping that boxing would help....it’s years later and I’m still here!I’ve belonged to many gyms over the years. “Chain gyms” were never my thing. MMA is fun and an incredible workout. BJJ, boxing, kick boxing, Muay Thai...they have it all. The instructors are all very nice, patient and knowledgeable. Top Tier offers a variety of classes on the weekends and evening week days, plus open gym time.This gym is my happy place and the most down to earth people you’ll ever meet!

Great Pittsburgh gym. Dont let the weird hallway to get to the gym deter you. If you are sick of the elliptical, definitely try this out! Total body workout, and I feel like I am keeping up my athleticism (& coordination) here. Excellent instructors and fantastic people to work out with alongside you; motivating and positive atmosphere. Get your stress out on those heavy bags and rest easy at night. And how much fun is it to tell people at the office that I work out at a fight gym?! ;)

Been going to Top Tier for about 6 months. I initially started with the MMA class and loved it so much I decided to also start taking Brazilian jujitsu. All the coaches are wonderful and its a pretty inviting atmosphere. I came in there at 285 and Im down to 240. I wasnt as mobile, moved as quick and and got winded fast. They worked with me and taught me to slow down and how to be effective at my size. I love the place!

If youre missing a opportunity to train under Brian Cowin, the terrorists have won. His knowledge and attention to detail is why I train with him every chance I get. You will not regret it

I practice BJJ at Top Tier MMA. The facility is large so running into other people while rolling is not really an issue. The price is very reasonable and the people are super friendly and inviting. There is no negative air here! Brian, the instructor, is incredibly knowledgeable and is a very humble person. His training method is unique and very effective. If your looking for a place to really learn BJJ then check this place out. I havent done MMA here but I can say that there is ample equipment and I have heard others say that the training is great.

Great gym!The coaches are highly skilled, very competent instructors that help foster a highly positive, safe learning environment. If you are interested in MMA, kickboxing, or BJJ, this gym stands out even in the crowded market of Pittsburgh.

Instruction is fantastic! The facility is great, and the people are welcoming. I had a great time visiting and will definitely be back!!

Honestly a great place to train MMA and Jiujitsu. Great instructors, nice facility, awesome training partners. The cheapest membership fees in Pittsburgh.

Top Tier is a great place to train.The instructors are awesome and it is welcoming to beginners.It is also for a reasonable price.

One of the best choices that I have ever made I have meet some of the best people since joining and training .Brian is not only a great guy but is an amazing instructor that is willing to help you in anyway he can .

Changed my life.Was a struggling yellow bamboo blackbelt.Now Im a world class Bjj blue belt thanks to the Channing Tatum (name drop) trainer and stunt double - Brian Cowin

Top Tier is a great place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. Brian is a fantastic instructor who works with people of all levels and always does it with a smile on his face. As someone with little to no experience with Jiu-Jitsu prior to coming here Brian has made the learning curb simple, safe, and exciting. So if youre looking to learn Jiu-Jitsu in the Pittsburgh area you should definitely give Top Tier MMA a try.

The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor moved his program to INPAX Academy in McCandless.

Top Tier is truly a diamond in the rough. Finding the place may be a bit tricky, but it is well worth it. The instructors are all fun, laid back kind of guys. They understand the common person has their limits and will never force anything upon you. The classes are usually between 3-10 people so there is plenty of interaction with the instructors. Everyday is a different lesson from stand up boxing, jiu jitsu, or muay thai. Also, the gym is always swept and mopped with bleach before each session to ensure cleanliness.All in all, I have been going to this gym for 3 months now and I am having amazing workouts as well as learning new fighting techniques every day. All the people at Top Tier MMA are awesome and I have yet to meet someone who has that bad attitude. And on top of it all, you cant beat the price they charge! If you were to go to any other MMA gym in the Pittsburgh area, you are looking to pay double or more!

Fantastic experience at Top Tier. Looking forward to my next visit.
