I came to OPEX Bethel Park after 6 years of CrossFit. Because I love CrossFit and still want to compete, Abby programs individually for me to address my weaknesses and become a better all around athlete. As a competition nears, the we will ramp up the workouts to be ready to perform well. However, others at the gym with different fitness goals will have programming that is completely different. For instance, right now some are training for a half marathon, a long hike, better aerobic capacity on the basketball court, or just to live long and prosper. That's the beauty of OPEX - all of the work programmed by your coach is specifically directed to your individual fitness goals. Yet the fact that all of us are working out together in the gym at the same time is similar to the group dynamic which makes CrossFit so popular and fun.
The facility is very clean and attractive with first rate equipment. Ion addition to Abby, the other coaches are very knowledgeable and great to work with. Most importantly, the vibe is unfailingly friendly and supportive. I have noticed that most new members stay, which is a good sign in the fitness industry. Well worth a try if you are looking for the type of fitness experience...
Read moreMy commitment to my health and my physical fitness has come later in life, after age 50. Over those years I’ve tried personal training, some CrossFit and kettlebell classes, but have finally found my perfect fit with OPEX Bethel Park. OPEX has a lot in common with personal training, but it is much more a two-way experience. A path to my goal is delivered to me and I am accountable.
Coach Abby is able to work with and around any limitations I may be experiencing, whether short term or chronic, and keep me targeted on my goal(s). The workouts that she programs for me have plenty of variety in both intensity and WOD components and are never “routine.” I am challenged in some way every single workout.
The system that OPEX uses to get my daily workout to me is fantastic also. Results, weights used, notes, etc are recorded by me after my workout and are available both to me and my coach. (No more “what weight did I use last time?” issues). Small detail maybe, but very important to me :)
The gym itself is both beautiful to the eye and the soul. It is wonderfully equipped, staffed and blessed with a membership of fun, friendly and dedicated people. It is a happy...
Read moreI love this place so much I almost want to gatekeep it, but I also want others to know how great Abby, Logan, and all the coaches here are.
I've never been a huge fitness person and struggled to fit it into my life because it was always a 'chore' for me. Making the leap and starting at NoBe was truly life-changing because my coach was open and willing to listen to my challenges and work with me to address them. He keeps me accountable and crafts plans that are challenging, but satisfying.
I have nothing but great things to say about this gym and everyone who works there and works out there. It's as social a place as you want it to be, and there's always community classes or social events to spend time with others.
I don't know if I'll ever find a gym and welcoming, supportive, challenging, and downright enjoyable as NoBe, and I'm happier than ever having found them. Absolutely give them a shot if you're even...
