  This is the most amazing training experience you'll find anywhere (and I have actually looked just about everywhere since moving away). They somehow manage to make group training extremely personal. And their private training and mechanotherapy sessions are absolutely amazing for rehabbing and recovering from injuries (even injuries that have been lingering for years). I still limp into MUV a few times a year when I can make it to Pittsburgh, and I leave feeling amazing. They need to train more people in the fitness industry to think like they do - almost everyone else is doing everything wrong.

  Great place to go if you are trying to get back into shape. Great instructors that are willing to help you at your own pace. In my personal opinion, the best gym in the city if you want a one-on-one traing experience tailored to your specific needs.

  MÜV Integrated Physical Culture is a true gem in Pittsburgh, and I am grateful to have crossed paths with owner and instructor Jhonphilipp Yonan. Jhon is a rare individual who lives with purpose, is deeply passionate about his work, and generously shares his expertise to benefit others' health and well-being. An instructor of "physical culture," Jhon draws exercises from a variety of historical and contemporary traditions, creating unconventional but science-based movement sequences that promote the development of strength, stability, agility, and endurance. Both private and small group training are excellent. Jhon is experienced at teaching all levels, and he is effective as a physical therapist for those with injuries. He presents thoughtful, customized sequences to address individual needs, and he has a unique ability to deconstruct complex movements into baby steps that allow you to progress efficiently and with integrity. As a yoga practitioner and instructor, I've found the instruction at MÜV to complement and enhance my practice, bringing a new awareness to familiar yoga poses. Whereas yoga often focuses on bone alignment, Jhon targets specific muscles that maintain that body alignment, and reawakens habitually unused muscles for maximal stability. And while Jhon has a vast and intricate knowledge base, he manages to convey proper alignment and form without overwhelming you with technical language, unless you want it (then he will gladly give you an advanced anatomy lesson). The atmosphere at MÜV is welcoming, encourages camaraderie, and balances playfulness with professionalism. The studio space is bright, clean, and smells like peppermint. MÜV is definitely worth checking out for all those on the lifelong path of optimal health.
