How does your approach differ from all of the other trainers out there?

The big picture must be evaluated and the key elements include: Goals—Genetics—Stress—Age--Current Condition and Training Experience

I take a customized approach, one size fits all theories do not hold up in this realm of lifeTime after time customized programs specifically built for the needs and goals of the individual produce superior results.  There are numerous factors that dictate the best path to take for each person; I make it a priority to evaluate all of these factors and form an integrated program that will produce results ASAP. 

 A detailed history is collected for each client and among other things I evaluate training experience, hormonal status, genetics, stress levels and other recovery conditions.  Genetics for example play a much larger role in training and nutrition program design than many would think.  You cannot train a tall and skinny runner the same way you would an average height- overweight male.  Genetic patterns determine these conditions to a degree, but it is my job to work with what nature gives the clients to get results.

Nutrition programs must be tailored to the genetic background; various ethnic groups were raised on certain foods that are well digested and used for fuel. For example Japanese people have been eating rice or thousands of years, as a result they process this item efficiently.  Caucasians process rice differently and are likely to experience elevated insulin levels following consumption which increases fat storage levels.

What are the most common methods you use to produce rapid fat loss for people have failed with everything else?

This question is very common, while each situation is different- here is a brief glimpse at a system that I have used extensively for rapid fat loss.  Stimulating fat loss from a nutrition perspective requires a manipulation of overall caloric intake, food choices, combinations, timing, metabolic enhancement and nutritional periodization.   All of these factors will increase metabolism, which governs the rate at which we burn fat.

Periodization is a term often associated with training and it simply means to rotate training elements to ensure that the body continues to respond to the training stimulus.  Keeping the same program for an extended period of time enables the body to attenuate and as a result progress halts, well the same holds true from a nutrition standpoint.  You must strategically change factors to keep the body guessing and as a result more body fat is lost.

Without going into too much detail I create programs that will require simple changes on certain days for reasons listed above.  However the changes from day to day are not a hassle in any way since I have perfected various systems for my clients.  The busiest of people have followed these plans with 0 difficulties.   For example the heaviest training days will always be supported by the highest caloric intake.  Make sense?  It should- we need to consume the energy on days we will use it during training to support recovery and to elevate metabolism.  Remember- a high metabolic rate is the key-otherwise you are running up hill.

How much weight can I expect to lose each week?

Five, even ten pounds does not come as a surprise to me for weight loss during the first week.  Each client will be different based on several individual factors.  The key is to maintain a steady pace of fat loss each month towards the target body weight and body fat percentage.

Initially I see a large reduction in water retention which may account for some of the weight loss, but implementing the comprehensive program will initiate fat loss immediately.  Those people with less body fat to lose will experience lower levels of fat loss each week, but this does not mean they are making less progress than others.

My arms are way too small for my frame- what can I do to increase arm size ASAP?

Dozens of my clients over time have come to me with similar concerns.  On the surface the easiest method is to increase the amount of training done for triceps and biceps each week, however there are several other factors that come into play.  I have seen clients increase arm size by a couple inches within a two month period.  With the right effort this can be accomplished by most trainees.

The biceps and triceps include several muscle "heads" which must be addressed with specific training movements neglected by a majority of training programs.  Furthermore these various heads must be trained with different loading, rep and speed of movement patterns to earn the best results.

Certain clients who have a flexible schedule and endless determination can train twice a day- completing short sessions in the morning and afternoon a few times per week to initiate rapid arm growth.  While this is the fastest way for increased arm size- it is not the only way.

Body part specific training is one of my specialties- Have a week body part which requires improvement now?- Together we will fix the issue ASAP

I have never had a six pack and I am desperate to reach this goal- how would you go about this?

Despite popular belief the abs need to be trained in a similar fashion to other body parts.  Weight loaded exercises become necessary to promote progress for experience trainees as simple exercises such as crunches become too easy.  The abdominal musculature is broken into many sections which are addressed by specific exercises.  My approach to ab training depends on many factors, but I often place ab exercises first in the weight training workout so that they receive adequate priority.  However these sets must not over fatigue the trunk or injury can occur during subsequent exercises requiring trunk stabilization.

Many of my clients dedicate an entire weight training session to the midsection each week for 25-40 minutes.  Others may do a short routine first thing when they rise a few days per week. Beyond improving abdominal definition it is a priority to promote proper trunk function to prevent back injuries and improve lower back posture.  I cringe at many of the programs listed in popular magazines advocating reckless exercises that are sure to result in injury for a large percentage of people attempting the movements.  Endless crunches and other gimmick routines are the fastest way to 0 progress.

What makes you different than all of the other trainers out there?  How are you more qualified?

The results of my clients speak for themselves( see testimonials section); I am a results oriented person and spend no time worrying about justifying my qualifications.  I know exactly what it takes for clients to reach their goals by evaluating their individual needs, building customized programs, monitoring progress and implementing refinements on a weekly basis.  It is important for you to know that I work with a wide variety of people and not just the genetic elite, who are frankly “easy” to train.  90% of my time is spent with every day people who encounter similar challenges each and every day.  My job is to build customized programs that will produce results without interrupting the every day life of the client.

I have seen him "re shape" all sorts of people.

How can you be effective if you are not in the gym with me?

Having a personal trainer in the gym is not as important as many would think, while the effectiveness of trainers varies greatly so do the reasons for their use.  Many individuals want someone to talk to, a set appointment to create accountability, a person to encourage their efforts or to instruct the proper form.  The most important role a trainer should fill is program design and refinement, after all this aspect is what will determine progress and the speed at which progress is made.  I do agree that having trainers present to instruct the proper form is advantageous, but most trainees require the most help with program design.

Going into the gym with an inadequate program is a missed opportunity, even with a great effort results will be sub par if the right things are not done.  Consider the role of a surgeon, despite a great effort, if the technique is lacking the procedure is likely to fail.  Why?  The surgeon did not know the best way to perform the procedure, the same holds true for training.  There is always a better way to train, you must invest in the skills of a professional who can help you make the most out of your efforts

A detailed library of exercise video clips is available to instruct the proper form and Scott is always available for questions via email.  Scott prepares videos for certain clients who need more specific instruction.  This is not part of the standard consult package, but can be done for a reasonable fee.

I have been training for over 20 years and have seen pretty good results until recently.  I know a lot about training, what makes you think you know more?

Knowing more or less is not worth arguing in this situation.  I can guarantee that I will insert a wide variety of elements into your program that will help you break your plateau.  This game is not new to me; I have served thousands of clients with a great success rate.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving me a shot.

Consider that even the best of lawyers do not defend themselves in court, in legal circles lawyers who do not seek representation for personal matters are a laughing stock.  Despite having a great level of expertise a skilled attorney cannot be objective when preparing a case involving their personal matters.  The same holds true for training- you cannot objectively design a program for yourself!

Do surgeons perform their own procedures?  Of course not- so why design your own programs and risk losing valuable time that could be better spent with an appropriate program.

Do you work with many female clients?

Of course a large percentage of my clients are females.  Yes the programs for females to vary quite a bit from those of a male.  Why? There are many differences between the two genders that must be consider when designing programs.  The menstrual cycle in particular has a large impact on the metabolic rate and hormonal profile that dictates rates of fat burning according to Dr. Eric Serrano MD.  There are several techniques for changing eating patterns during cycles to promote the fastest rate of progress.

Women must train differently as well, but this does not mean women should not do compound movements or train with heavy weights.  Female clients in the best condition with extremely low body fat make use of weight training programs that be quite different than most women.  The fear of gaining too much muscle is a fairy tale- very few women have the ability to do this and it is not a realistic concern.

Do you prepare athletes for competition?

Yes, this is essentially where I started.  In addition to my clients in the NFL, NHL, MLB and NCAA- I train numerous amateur and high school athletes.  Preparing for athletic competition is a much different process than training to “look” good.  My vast knowledge of sports enables me to determine what qualities must be developed to ensure elevated performance.  I take many factors into account including the specific position of the athlete and their perceived performance weaknesses.

How many times per week will I workout and for how long?

This depends on your ability to recover from training and the goals of course.  Typically my clients will weight train 3 or 4 times per week with 1-2 cardio and or sporting activity sessions.  Most trainers overlook recovery and overtrain clients into failure, my focus has always been to keep the quality of work high and the quantity within reason.   After all it is a busy world and we all have things to do.

Some of my clients who are extremely determined for quick results and have an optimal schedule may do two short weight training sessions in the same day, although this is not the norm.  The key is to match the training volume to the needs of the client.  I never design a workout that will last longer than 55 minutes not including warm up.  Workouts which go beyond this length are counterproductive.  Research proves that prolonged training sessions will lower anabolic hormones significantly, something we must avoid so we can reach our goals.

What specific training methodologies do you subscribe to?  HITT?  Max OT?

Trainers who align themselves with only one training methodology are setting up their clients for failure.  I determine what training program I will use based on the needs and goals of the clients.  These catchy program names are simply made for drawing attention to a certain trainer.  Our needs as individuals vary greatly and I would never limit myself by limiting my bag of tricks to one specific technique.  For your sake do not concern yourself with cultish etc

Sometimes I feel uncomfortable using new exercises, how do you go about instructing over the net?

I have built an extensive exercise video library which you can use to watch any of the exercises I assign.  Your questions by email will never go unanswered of course, rarely do I have a problem with clients not being able to execute exercises within training programs.  If there is a problem, we will adjust accordingly.

Do you travel to see clients?  What are you rates?

I do travel to see clients and my rates depend on the particular situation.  Typically I will bill $250.00 an hour, but in some cases more if extensive traveling or rescheduling is involved.  During these hands on sessions I am able to do extensive evaluations which enable me to design the best programs.  Those with chronic injuries see the most benefit from these sessions.

Time for Action. Together we can reach your goals.
