Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training
Client of the Month: May 2024
And the Winner is…
Bill Labovitz
Bill Labovitz has been a member here at Become Better for a little over a year now and since joining, he has been a friendly face around the gym. If you're here in the morning or on Saturdays, you've surely come across Bill. He'll go out of his way to say hello and strike up a conversation with you. Those of you that do know Bill no that no topic is off limits! But he speaks to everyone fairly and respectfully no matter if your opinion differs from his.
Bill has been extremely dedicated since joining, rarely missing and always wanting to learn and be challenged. After not being happy with his health, he has really transformed his body over the past few years. He recently completed his first City of Pittsburgh HALF MARATHON while being in his mid-50s. It is never too late to make a positive change to your health and body and Bill is a shining example of that.
For Bill's dedication, friendly attitude around the gym and for finishing his first Half Marathon I nominate Bill for Client of the Month for May
Bill also owns a law firm, so if you’re in legal trouble… Give him a call.
The other Nominees:
Christian Kyung
Christian Kyung is being nominated for client of the month because he asked us coaches about a million times the last few months so we felt obligated from how much energy he has exhausted asking us and talking about it... Just Kidding... Christian has been a very hard worker ever since he stepped foot into the gym. Limited on time with getting into the gym because of the medical work he does, Christian is always 100% ready to get after it! All of Christians hard training has led him to a great accomplishment becoming ATA Martial Arts 2024 State Champion of Pennsylvania! His State Titles are in Traditional Forms and Traditional Sparring. Christian will be competing at districts in June in order for a bid to Worlds in 2025! Christian is a great example of how your training can directly help with your goals outside of the gym.
Christian also has referred his mother-in-law who joined the gym and would like everyone to know he gets credit for that.
Below are Christians gym accomplishments:
Back Squat: 85k
Bench Press: 84k
TB Deadlift: 137k
Shelby/Drew
This is a joint nomination as Shelby and Drew are getting married this June and have both been very consistent and hard working clients. Shelby has been training with us a Become Better for a little over a year now. Shelby came to us with the goals of getting into shape for her wedding. During her time training, Shelby has not only got herself into shape for her wedding but has improved her strength and brought along her future husband (Drew) to train with us as well. Shelby’s schedule get a little chaotic at times, but that never stops her from getting her workouts in. Sometimes we might see her 4 days in a row when she couldn’t make it during the week. When Drew started this year we have had to work around a lot of old injuries from different sports. These never stopped him from pushing himself to Become Better though. Drew has been extra consistent the last few months coming in 4 days/week.

TB DL: 75 kg
Conventional DL: 65 kg
Back Squat: 45 kg
