Finally! A solution to my chronic knee pain.
I dealt with chronic knee pain since high school. Multiple PTs and ATs failed to help me find a solution and at one point a sports med MD even said “you’ll never run past age 30.” Until I found Essential Strength. The programming and coaches here helped me understand the cause of my pain and build strength to make sure it doesn’t bother me anymore. These days I can run and deep squat without issues (and I’m 35). If you have a similar story, please check them out! I can’t recommend them enough!!

Essential Strength is the most…
Essential Strength is the most professional personal training gym in Pittsburgh. I was skeptical about hiring a trainer because I am very knowledgeable already but Sam blew me away with his knowledge and understanding of the human body. I can’t stop referring people!
