Personal Training with Scott

Scott is wonderful! I was looking for a personal trainer that was located near by house and came upon Scott’s 5 Star reviews on Unilocal.Scott is a great trainer he took time to make sure my workout was personalized to my specific individual needs and I always appreciated him being prepared with a chart of the exercises he had planned for me during our session. The workouts were always different which looked simple but were quite strenuous and challenging. Scott has a lovely personality that made workouts go by fast and were fun. Unlike trainers I’ve had in the past, Scott never made me feel pressured about buying more and more sessions or insisted that I go on a crazy diet :) I truly enjoyed sessions with Scott and would recommend.

My 13-​year old nephews were in town last week and I feared I would need to skip one of my regular personal training sessions with Scott because I would be busy entertaining teenagers. No need! Scott was amazing. He put together a workout that was challenging for me and yet still appropriate (and fun) for two teenage boys: squats, medicine balls, weights, cardio – the works! We all loved it (even if we were sore the next day).

I exercise regularly but I just run most of the time and don’t do nearly enough resistance training as I should. A friend recommended Scott and I decided to do an evaluation session so he could assess how I was doing with my own workouts and suggest exercises I could do on my own to mix things up. For me, this is truly the most important function of the personal trainer, to show you things you wouldn’t know about otherwise, to monitor your form and provide guidance. I don’t have a problem with motivating myself to exercise, but I’m definitely a creature of habit so this was a really good opportunity to improve my workouts.
We met at 5:30am on a Friday (he specializes in early mornings, which was perfect for me) and we started off with warmups with the TRX bands, which I’d never used before. We ended up using them throughout the workout to do a variety of exercises and I really enjoyed them. Except for the planks; those were brutal. Anyway, during my hour session he took me through an overall body workout, paying equal attention to legs, arms, and core, using a variety of dumb bells, bosun balls, and TRX bands. He asked me about any areas that was giving me problems and I mentioned my right shoulder blade – my eternal sore spot. Due to my computer-​intensive job, my right mouse arm and shoulder can get quite sore, so he recommended some exercises to specifically combat that problem (even w/​o weights, just taking a break in the office). He really listens to you and tailors the workout to your needs. I also like his encouraging, low-​key style. I am not one of those people who do well when people are yelling and screaming to «motivate» me.
All in all, I had a really great session, and while I don’t think I need to see a personal trainer all the time, I’d love to do occasional «evaluation» or «tune-​up» sessions like these to check on my overall fitness and learn some new stuff!

I’ve known Scott for a long time, but I had a trainer I was happy with, so I hadn’t tried him out. Then my trainer went off to school and I gave Scott a try. My health has changed SIGNIFICANTLY. I had some chronic lower back and hipflexer issues that I thought I’d just have to deal with. My sports chiropractor gave me some stretches, which seemed to help, as long as I did them daily.
But Scott has made the huge difference! When I began working out with him, he assessed my body and started doing workouts with me to strengthen the muscles around the problem areas. He understands the body and knows how to get yours to it’s strongest capacity. By building up some of the «less glamorous» muscles, I am now able to work out harder and feel great! He always has a great variety as well, and the gym, Bodyflex, is cute and private.
Definite asset to the fitness, no matter what your goals are.

I have osteoporosis and Scott is just what the doctor ordered! Over the more than 2 years that I have been working out with Scott, my bone density numbers have increased without the use of medication. Since bone density is measured every 2 years or so, that’s a long time to go without any outward signs of improvement. However, during that time, Scott has made each work out interesting and unique. I look forward to each session, wondering what we will do next.
Scott prescribes a custom work out schedule and closely monitors you during the hour to prevent you from injuring yourself, while progressively challenging and encouraging you, as you improve.
As an added benefit, I feel much better, mentally and physically!
For a fun and productive work out, for whatever your training goals are, call Scott!
