Who we work with:
Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training is a training facility that works with a wide variety of clients currently aged between 8 and 90 years old. Many of our clients are just the general population who have goals of weight loss, increased strength, or just to function better in their daily lives. Other clients are middle school and high school athletes or novice to intermediate level weightlifters and power lifters.
Become Better Training Style:
Our training 100% revolves around whatever the goals are of the client. Every single client will have a program that is custom written for them based around what their goals are keeping in mind what their strengths already are and any injuries or limitations that they might have. We work with clients 1-1 and in a semi private setting. Semi-private training is different than normal group training because everyone will still have their own program. Our coaches will then be able to go around and help anyone who needs it whether it’s form check, modifications to their workout, or just a simple spot.

Generally speaking, we can work around any schedule limitations that interns have. Shifts are rarely over 8 hours unless requested. Many shifts can be short (3-4 hours) to help cover busy periods. Availability to work weekends (normally 3-4 hours only) is preferred, but likely not required.
