Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training History:

Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training was started by Dan Knorr in late 2013 with only a few clients of his own. Over the years, Dan gained many clients through word of mouth, contacting local volleyball teams, and teaching Olympic weight lifting classes. The population Dan worked with expanded to all ages and abilities. In 2021 we expanded our footprint and became a part of Pittsburgh Elite Volleyball Club. In their facility we have new equipment to train over 30 of their teams. In 2022, we finally were able to expand our main location to a facility 5x as big. We remodeled the building and moved in May 1st, 2022. In our new facility we have also added a recovery room, dance fitness classes, and a chiropractor. In 2023, Igor from Motion Body Worx joined the team as a massage therapist who could offer all Become Better clients a discount in addition to great service. In 2025, Coach Emily and Dom also joined the team as Physical Therapists apart of FORGE PT. Coach Candice also passed her registered Dietitian exam in 2025 and now works 1-1 with clients who need help with their nutrition in addition to working part time as a personal trainer. Starting in 2026 we also began to offer a yoga class taught by Coach Leeana.

We are now a one stop shop who offers Nutrition Service, Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, Recovery Room, Dance Fitness, and Yoga Class in addition to our main service of Personal and Semi-Private Fitness Training.
