Zak Bellant
636 E. Warrington Ave., Allentown.
deathcomeslifting.com
Zak Bellante’s vision of fitness for misfits has given Pittsburgh something truly special: a gym for basically anyone in any body. While Death Comes Lifting, from an aesthetic point of view, suits its Allentown home perfectly, it’s what’s inside this pink Victorian building that really matters — namely, an inclusive environment and playlists curated for metalheads, punks, and hip-hop stans alike. Motivated both by his past struggles with health and a nonlinear fitness journey, Bellante brings something that’s harder to find at commercial gyms: empathy. It’s largely Death Comes Lifting’s community mindset that’s propelled him to the top of this list, but hosting badass events such as doom-metal yoga classes certainly doesn’t hurt, either. -Colin Williams
