Elevation Fitness+ opens barbell gym in South Fayette
A doctor and a lawyer have opened a boutique barbell club in South Fayette Township.
Elevation Fitness+ co-owners Mye Cooper, the administrative medical director, and her husband, Drew Cooper, the facility director and head personal trainer, opened the gym this spring in the Crossings at South Fayette.
The gym offers workouts through a diverse menu of personal training, group classes, therapeutic massage and special events, such as disco-themed fitness nights.
“I’m pretty sure we’re the only gym in Pittsburgh that has a disco ball,” gym manager Devon Wood said.
The gym offers Olympic barbells, cardio equipment and programs for adults and children, such as yoga, Pilates, boot camp, stretching, aerial silks and kickboxing.
The Coopers also own Elevation Medical Weight Loss, which provides prescription weight-loss services in the Great Southern Shopping Center in Collier.
Born in Vietnam, Dr. Cooper emigrated to the U.S., where she became a doctor of osteopathic medicine. She competes in raw powerlifting and bodybuilding.
Drew Cooper has pursued a career in fitness for 20 years while also obtaining a law degree. He participates in powerlifting and gymnastics.
The pair enjoys ballroom dancing and lives in the Pittsburgh area with their children Remy and MaiLan. Elevation Fitness+, 3033 Washington Pike, South Fayette: 412-914-8037; elevationfitnessplus.com.
