The North Hills has a new place to train. Dynamicx Gym is opening its doors at 9120 Perry Highway in McCandless, PA, and it was built on a simple idea: a gym should be clean, uncrowded, and focused on the people who train there. At Commonwealth Nutrition, we have been in Ross Township since 2021, just a short drive down the road, and we are proud to support Josh, his clients, and every Dynamicx member with complimentary InBody body composition scans at our store.
A New Gym in McCandless Built Around Its Members
If you have trained in the North Hills for a while, you know the routine. Crowded floors at 5:30 PM, a line for the squat rack, and equipment that has seen better days. Dynamicx was built to be the opposite of that. The goal is a well kept, member-focused gym that feels like a second home for people in McCandless, Wexford, Franklin Park, Ross, Allison Park, and the surrounding communities.
Members get 24/7 access, so early risers, shift workers, and parents squeezing in a late session all have a place to go. The gym's motto says it plainly: Train With Intent.
Meet Josh, Head Coach and Owner
Josh is a North Hills coach with a degree in Exercise Science and years of experience training clients at facilities across the North Hills and Pittsburgh. He has worked with kids, student-athletes, active adults, professional athletes, and retirees, along with clients managing physical challenges and medical conditions. He will tell you that some of his proudest work is with older adults who want to get stronger and stay independent.
His approach is practical. Fitness is part of a balanced life, not the whole thing. That means training hard, building habits, celebrating small wins, and paying attention to nutrition and recovery outside the gym. It is a philosophy we share at Commonwealth Nutrition, and it is a big reason this partnership makes sense.
What You Will Find Inside Dynamicx Gym
Dynamicx packs more than 50 premium machines into a layout designed so you are not waiting around. Here is what is on the floor:
- Strength: power rack, free weights with dumbbells from 5 to 125 lb, incline bench, leg press, hack squat, hip thrust, Smith machine, cable towers, and a full lineup of plate-loaded and weight-stack machines.
- Turf and functional training: SkiErg, sled, assault bike, rower, wall balls, sandbags, kettlebells, slam balls, battle ropes, plyo boxes, and TRX. HYROX athletes are welcome.
- Cardio and recovery room: treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, and a dedicated stretching area.
Small Group Classes and Personal Training in McCandless
Group classes at Dynamicx are capped at six people, so you get real coaching instead of getting lost in a crowd. Two core classes anchor the schedule:
- Dynamic Strength: a 45 minute full body strength class using barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, cables, and bodyweight work. It scales for beginners and experienced lifters alike.
- Dynamic Conditioning: a 45 minute interval class that mixes functional movements, resistance training, cardio, and bodyweight exercises.
For one-on-one coaching, Josh's personal training starts with a fitness and movement assessment, then builds a plan around your goals. Sessions run 60 to 75 minutes and cover a warm-up, a programmed workout, and hands-on form coaching. There is no age limit, and new clients can book a free one hour introductory session.

Free InBody Scans at Commonwealth Nutrition for Dynamicx Members
The scale only tells you one number. When you start training with intent, you want to know what is actually changing. That is where we come in.
Josh's personal training clients and Dynamicx Gym members receive complimentary InBody scans at Commonwealth Nutrition. An InBody scan takes about a minute, and you do it standing on the device in our store. It gives you a clear breakdown of:
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Body fat mass and body fat percentage
- Lean mass in each arm, each leg, and your trunk, so you can spot imbalances
- Basal metabolic rate, a helpful starting point for planning your nutrition
For a coach, that data is gold. Josh can see whether a client is adding muscle while losing fat, even when the scale barely moves. For members training on their own, regular scans keep you honest and motivated, and they make it easier to see whether your program and your nutrition are working together.
How to Get Your Complimentary InBody Scan
- Stop by Commonwealth Nutrition at 6000 Babcock Blvd in Ross Township during store hours.
- Let our team know you train at Dynamicx Gym or with Josh.
- Step on the InBody and get your printed results in minutes.
- Download the free CW Nutrition App to scan in your InBody sheets and track your progress over time. You can also scan in results from any InBody location in the US.
While you are here, our team is happy to talk through protein, pre-workout, recovery, and daily wellness options that fit your training. No pressure and no gimmicks, just straight answers from people who train too.
