My sessions are tailored to the player. They normally run from 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Before I start working with a player we evaluate what parts of the players game needs improvement and we focus on strengthening those parts. I am also a strength and performance trainer and will work with players looking to increase explosiveness, flexibility, speed and power.

During the winter months it is highly recommended the client has a gym to work out of as my fee does not cover gym rentals.

Coach Andrew had a great teaching style with my son. After just one session my son said that he already felt that his skills improved. I totally agree!

Great Coach love working with him.

Coach Andrew speaks calmly and at a level that the student understands and is very positive in his communication to the student. Works you hard but not over the top. Very happy with our 1st session. ready for more!

Andrew was great with my son Peyton. After the session my son was filled with hope and excitement for future sessions. I was especially impressed that there were well thought out skills and exercises that my son did. It wasn't just "shooting hoops". I would definitely recommend him.

Coach Andrew was very thorough before the session which was great because we were able to jump right in and get started. Taught my daughter a few new skills and she has been working on the. Will be booking additional sessions.

Andrew is a great basketball coach. We hired him to help get our daughter ready for the upcoming basketball season. His approach and dedication to teaching the fundamentals is outstanding. Our daughter has improved in the way she approaches the game as well as the importance of consistent quality practice. She is even more excited about the sport since she started training with Andrew as well as having a good understanding of the game. We will continue to have our daughter train with Andrew because he shows a commitment to the growth of our young basketball player. I would recommend Andrew for any player looking to improve in any aspect of the game of basketball.

Coach Andrew got a great review from the person I got the sessions for.. After one session he said he learned new things from Coach Andrew .. I can't wait to hear what the next session goes like!

Coach Kurzawski is a natural teacher and one of the best post coaches I have ever been around in my time as a basketball parent. His work with my son last summer not only helped him earn a starting spot but also an all section selection. We will containing to use coach as my son moved into his senior year with eyes eyes set on a college basketball opportunity.
Coach Andrew and Gym Rat Performance Training took my game and physique to the next level and quickly. Coming off a serious injury my junior season I needed to put extra time in to get into game shape. Not only did they help me get back in shape but my senior season landed me Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference All-Conference and USCAA Second Team All-American Honors. I highly recommend Gym Rat Performance Training for players who want to maximize their potential.
Spending the summer before my senior year with Coach Kurzawski and Gym Rat Training took my game to a place I couldn't have imagined. I went from an occasional starter to a 2nd Team USCAA All American and the team's leading scorer in my senior campaign. I got bigger, stronger and faster. The trainers at Gym Rat brought a level out of me I didn't know I had.
From eating plans to the weight room to the court, Coach Andrew is one of the few trainers in the Pittsburgh area that is all about your performance and not the money. He is one of the few post player coaches so if you are looking for someone to teach you back to the basket as well as facing the basket, then he's your guy. My performance as an athlete has increased extremely in the past few months and he has helped me reach my dream of playing division 1 basketball. Thank you for everything coach!
We are excited to add Gym Rat Performance Training to our preseason, in season and post season strength and conditioning programs. As a team that has won 4 straight conference championships we are always looking for an edge to keep us on top. After seeing the results of other collegiate players in our area (using Gym Rat) I knew we would be getting just the edge we needed to continue to compete at an exceptionally high level.

Coach Kurzawski and Gym Rat Performance Training is an excellent resource to the Pittsburgh area. They truly know how to develop speed, strength and agility while also effectively teaching the game of basketball. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve.
Coach Kurzawski has been working with my son for 2 years and has taken his game to a whole new level. From the in's and out's of the game, to finishing moves, to even building his confidence...working with Coach has been well worth it.
