Top quality training environment and instructors ! As a beginner, I trained with Mike and was impressed with how accessible, yet challenging he made the workout. Post training sauna access was an added bonus. A rare find that caters to not only experienced fighters but to anyone interested in boxing/martial arts/functional strength or mobility training. I highly recommend!!

This is an awesome gym community with a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Classes are different every time, offer a challenging workout, and can be modified for anyone's unique needs or restraints. All of the trainers/instructors are helpful and down to earth. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Everyone has great vibes, no ego. Solid sessions for technique, cardio and sparring. Owner is cool too and didn't pressure me at all into signing up which I appreciated a lot.

This gym was created by the first Mixed Martial Arts fighters in Western Pennsylvania, two smart brothers and a long time friend. They were recently joined by one of the most successful local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitors in Brian Cowin. Take a class from a master teacher within a great class and an even greater team. Top Tier can compete with anyone.

I've been working out and active my whole life. and joined just about every type of gym. Spin clubs, HIIT studios, regular gyms, and the list goes on... I even ran, a LOT! Races, 1/2 marathons, you name it! BUT... I never REALLY got any results. I put in the reps...and the time. Changed my diet. Put in MORE reps. But I always seemed to hit a wall... It was like my needle was stuck at 75%. Then I discovered TopTier gym. Completely by accident. and EVERYTHING changed. I started to lose fat. Gain muscle. Build confidence. and before I knew it, a whole new me was emerging. Something that was there all along, but dormant. The workouts are fun, but intense. The instructors are knowledgable, passionate, and committed to your journey and growth. There is community. A sense of belonging. It's everything a gym should be. I couldn't recommend TopTier enough. 5 stars +

Can’t say enough about top Teir! Classes are always organized. Kick boxing class is always filled with encouragement and good energy. All the fighters at jiu jitsu and sparring classes are always supportive and have helped me grow a lot in my short time at the gym. I DEFINITELY recommend Top Teir

This was the second time my 3 year old daughter, Ember, was able to come to the Saturday kids class. Usually it's 5 and up, but Jaime has so much patience with the kids that she was able to get Ember involved. She LOVES mimicking the big kids and has a blast! It was cool to see that the classes change from week to week so kids learn a lot of different techniques.

Aside from when it was closed for COVID I have been coming here 3 times a week for two years. I have learned a lot and the people are still so nice and so welcoming. If you are reading this and considering joining, just come drop in for a class you won't regret it. 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.

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

I've 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. I've especially enjoyed classes with Lisa R....she is knowledgeable in post-partum recovery workouts and is a great motivator.

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!!!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 doesn't 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’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!

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 haven't done MMA here but I can say that there is ample equipment and I have heard others say that the training is great.

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 it's a pretty inviting atmosphere. I came in there at 285 and I'm down to 240. I wasn't 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!

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 you're looking to learn Jiu-Jitsu in the Pittsburgh area you should definitely give Top Tier MMA a try.

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 can't 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!

Great Pittsburgh gym. Don't 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"?! ;)
