About Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training
Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training is a privately owned and operated gym. We work with a diverse group of clientele in the South Hills of Pittsburgh which include both athletes and non athletes whose ages range from 8-90+ years old. Our services have helped men and women, young and old, reach a variety of health and fitness goals including weight loss, strength improvement, cardiovascular health, and overall ability to perform daily tasks.

Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training separates itself from other private or commercial gyms by customizing and building programs for every client who comes into our gym. This allows us to best help every client reach their goals while keeping in mind their current fitness level and also working around any injuries or limitations they may have.
Types of Training We Offer:
Private Training: This is often 1-1 training where we directly guide the client through their workout. We stay with them throughout the entire workout telling them what to do, demonstrating exercises and coaching them as needed. This type of training could also be with a partner or small group of friends/family.
Semi-Private Training: This type of training still gives each client a custom made workout, but there will be multiple people participating in this type of training at the same time (each doing their own workout). Clients will grab their workout from a computer/laptop that we provide. They will then follow their program while having access to us to answer any questions they may have. Coaches will walk around making sure that all clients are doing their workouts properly.
(Optional): Volleyball Strength and Conditioning with Pittsburgh Elite Volleyball Club: Work with 20+ teams from 13U to 18U during their practices at their facility in Emsworth, PA. Each team gets about 20-25 minutes of training time. The main goal is to first and foremost teach these athletes how to exercise/lift properly. The focus is typically on larger compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, presses, and pulls along with some prehab exercises and conditioning. Schedule for training are most Tuesday’s and Wednesdays from 5:15 - 9:30 pm and some Sundays from 8:00 am - 1:00 pm. January through May are the predominant months where the club operates.
At Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training, we believe that by upholding the gym's standards and culture, everyone benefits from a welcoming, approachable, and hard-working group.
