Scott Vanderbeets

I started training with Scott back in February 2013 after finishing a medical weight loss program. As a result of the program, I had lost some muscle mass/​strength and was looking for a good trainer to get me back into shape. I chose Scott completely by random but it turned out to be a great decision.
Scott is truly an awesome trainer and a great person. He does a superb job of keeping our sessions varied and interesting (currently I work out with him twice a week). He has an uncanny ability to know when a client needs to be pushed more versus when to give them a break. As some of the other reviewers have noted, Scott is very focused on making sure his clients use correct technique. He is good about answering all of my questions, and I’ve learned so much about proper weightlifting techniques from him.
On a personal level Scott is friendly and engaging, and always seems to be in a good mood. His demeanor definitely helps me to relax and get the most out of our sessions.
I plan to keep working out with Scott going forward and highly recommend him for anyone from workout novices to experienced lifters.

I play a lot of sports esp. soccer at a fairly competitive level. Wanted to train with someone to increase my strength and stamina yet also help me prevent injuries. Met Scott at Gold’s gym and been training with him for about 9 months now and he has helped me meet each of those goals. For example, I did not do squats regularly when i first joined him (and could do a max of 135lbs). Now we do it at least once a week and I can squat about 255lbs comfortably. Scott pays great attention to correct technique, pushes you to meet goals in each session and is great company. Highly recommended!

Scott reliably focuses on what *you* want to accomplish. I found him 3 years ago, through another client of his who’s an avid triathlete — very different training goals than mine! From the beginning, Scott’s given me workouts that match *my* goals. He’s professional and a pleasure to work with — frequently my sessions are the best two hours of the week!

I have been training with Scott for the past 3 years and I have seen great results because of it! He is supportive, encouraging and motivating. I can tell that Scott really cares about the success of his clients. There are specific areas I prefer to focus on and he offers great advice and guidance to help me target those areas. I am very happy with my recent 20lb weight loss and owe a debt of gratitude to Scott!

Scott is a great trainer, pure and simple. I’ve been with him, off and on, since January of 2009, and there’s nobody better at understanding your goals and helping you achieve them.

He is as good as it gets! He is an incredible personal trainer. I have never worked out with a trainer who really try to understand the true needs of their clients like Scott does. I have medical issues, and he is constantly watching how my body reacts to each exercise.
I highly encourage any one who whats to start or maintain a healthy training routine they work out with Scott!

I have been with Scott for many years now. The motivation that he gives and the way he pushes you in the workout to achieve above and beyond what you think you are capable of doing is incredible. Even if you walk into the gym in a bad mood from work, he uses that to your advantage and you leave the gym feeling a sense of accomplishment in your overall health and well-​being. I have had a few trainers in my workout regimen but none as advanced and motivating as Scott. That’s why I have been with him numerous years and will remain with him for many more.

Three years ago I was given a few months of training with Scott as a Christmas present. I still see him years later because he has had such a positive impact on my fitness and overall health.
Scott has the unique skill of pushing just hard enough that you’re always improving, but not so hard that you get discouraged. Even better, he’s very easy to get along with so the workouts are enjoyable and pass quickly.
