​

Scott has worked with a variety of clients ranging from sedentary and movement- restricted individuals to athletes. His training style stresses core strength, stability, balance, mobility, and functional strength.

 

Scott grew up in a small town in Kansas, where sports were an integral part of the community. As a three-sport athlete in high school, a collegiate and semi-pro baseball player, laborer in the family construction business and soldier, Scott developed a deep appreciation for physical fitness. Scott finds fulfillment when clients make positive physical, emotional and lifestyle changes. This explains why he has stayed in the fitness field for nearly two decades!
