I’ve always dreamt of owning my own gym so I made it my life’s ambition to make it a reality. Now here I am writing the web content for my gym’s website so dreams can come true!
I had a vision of my gym being the place clients come to become educated about the reality of what it takes to achieve results in the health and fitness world – through appropriate exercise and nutrition – and for inspiration to help accomplish their dreams, and, in so doing, sparing them the misleading *BS* most of the industry has to offer.
Sport and exercise have been my lifelong passion, so I am one of the lucky ones making a living from what I love doing.
Football was my first passion as a kid and still is. Even though I’m retired from playing, I still like to watch it and follow my team. I played throughout my younger years and teens, as well as rugby, and tried various martial arts; however, discovering bodybuilding in my early teens was certainly the biggest life changer for me. Bodybuilding became a huge and positive influence in my life: it got me out of trouble and taught me how to be disciplined, set goals and live healthily. It led me to nutrition and many other areas of training which I have since spent my life studying and practising; in particular, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting and my biggest love of all, Muay Thai Boxing.
I’ve run my personal training business for nearly 15 years (written 2018) and before that I worked for the NHS as a Physio for 4 years. I worked in the bar and nightclub security industry for over 10 years and throughout that time, always worked my other job. Dreaming of running my own gym was the reason for having two full-time jobs and another area in my life that taught me how hard work and perseverance always pay off.
I’m a Personal Trainer, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Advanced Sports and Exercise Nutritional Advisor, Olympic Weightlifting Coach and I’ve studied and done many other courses over the years. Although I have trained hundreds of clients over the years and helped them achieve great results, nothing has taught me as much as putting myself through all the different training and dieting, learning and feeling for myself what it takes to change my body or make myself perform better.
I’ve dedicated my life to exercise and nutrition and lived and breathed the lifestyle, but at the same time, I’ve still managed to find a balance and enjoy life – and have other interests.
A good analogy I like to tell my clients is that all forms of training programmes are like pushing a boulder up a hill: it doesn’t matter how advanced you are, as soon as you stop pushing (stop training/nutrition plan) the boulder comes rolling back down. This is why I say it’s a lifestyle!

When I started training at Scott’s gym I didn’t expect to progress as much as I did. In 5 months I was able to gain almost 5kg of muscle, growing my arms by 6.5cm, while losing 1kg of fat. My clothes fit much better and T-shirts that used to be loose on me are now tighter, especially at my sleeves.
I could not have achieved this without the support of Scott and my coach Patrick. I used to skip breakfast and go through most of the day without eating but Scott explained in my consultation how this would cause my body to burn muscle for energy. It wasn’t easy making changes, but Patrick always encouraged me to improve...
Ben
After the first lockdown I wanted to get fit for my sport of Gaelic Football. I felt I wasn’t as strong as I should be and needed some specialist Strength and Conditioning to take me to the next level.
My initial consultation with Scott was very beneficial in terms of information on nutrition. My coach Patrick was very friendly and knowledgeable and without doubt helped improve my strength, power, and cardio aspects of my fitness. All sessions were tailored around my specific goals which Patrick helped me achieve.
Within 5 months I gained 5kg, all of it muscle. My chest, arms, shoulders and legs were measured regularly and...
Pierce
My coach Patrick helped transform me within 7 months of training.
I wanted to get back in shape after neglecting my health and fitness during the first UK lockdown and I made rapid progress to become the strongest and most muscular I have ever been.
Patrick has great knowledge and motivational skills which helped me to reach my goals. He taught me new exercises and to analyse my lifting technique in a deeper way so my form was as efficient as possible and I could make the best progress.
I particularly enjoyed deadlifting and within a few weeks Patrick guaranteed that he would get me to 200kg before Christmas...
Yunis
I have now been training at Scott’s for 11 weeks. I had put on a lot of weight during lockdown and had lost confidence. Scott takes a lot of time at consultation to set your goals and impart his knowledge about nutrition and put a great plan into place.
He understood that I have a busy job but set me a very precise schedule and nutrition plan. I have lost weight, my body shape has changed and I have adapted a far healthier lifestyle. I have dropped 3 dress sizes and feel amazing!
HELEN
I’ve been training with Scott since January 2019 and initially started seeing him to get into shape for my wedding. Everything is completely tailored to your wants and abilities and I’ve felt myself get stronger week by week, whilst actually enjoying training at the same time.
For the wedding, I really wanted to loose fat from the back of my arms. When I started with Scott my skin fold measurements measured 28mm on the back of my arm, but was down to just 7mm before the wedding...
BECCA
I had just left an awful job and wearing this hospital gown realised I not only looked like Homer Simpson in a mumu, I had allowed work and other negative things to take over. Having decided to make a long term change I worked on diet, exercise and attitude.
Scott understood what I needed and works with his clients as individuals, regularly adapting his approach and programmes to reflect this. Scott is an expert in his profession of exercise and nutrition and isn’t a generic ‘great job’ trainer, but genuinely understands his clients and what drives them - I never, ever, thought I would be asked to be in a before and after shot - but here we are!
Ian
I first went to see Scott as I had no motivation to try and diet although I really wanted to lose weight.
Scott explained that to lose weight it’s not just about exercising; it is a life style change. It is about giving your body the right type of nutrition and eating the right foods at the right time as well as training regularly.
II had a three hour consultation with Scott. He weighed me and I was 11.5 stone, my measurements were almost 100mm. I knew at this point it was time to make a change. Scott went through what foods are high in protein and which foods contained good fats and what were high in sugar content...
NATALIE
I’ve always wanted to get into great shape with a low body fat and muscular physique but I didn’t even think it was possible for me to do so.
I had been living an unhealthy lifestyle all my life so I decided to do something about it and join a gym.
I was training for about a year with another personal trainer but I wasn’t getting results. I was watching Scott for a while and was liking what he was doing so I asked him to train me.
Scott made me realise it was about the diet and carefully planned training methods....
CHRIS
Scott is the most knowledgeable PT that I have had the pleasure of training with. This combined with his passion for health and fitness has seriously upped my game over the past 2.5 years.
I have significantly increased my strength and muscle mass, reduced body fat, and even reversed my osteoporosis diagnosis to achieve normal bone density. Scott's determined focus...
HOLLIE
After the new year I decided to get down the gym and start working out to improve my physique. Having been down the gym a couple of times I just didn’t know what to do, where to start or if I was doing anything correctly etc etc, so I decided to get a Personal Trainer and started training with Scott in February.
At the time I weighed 82.1kg, 15.2kg of fat and 66.9kg of lean mass. These measurements were taken during my consultation with Scott which I thought was a massive eye opener. Not only did he work out my body fat and lean mass, he also educated me on nutrition and explained how eating certain types of foods at the right intervals with the adequate amounts would help me achieve my goals of building muscle and losing fat...
LEE
I started training with Scott because I needed to get my weight down and improve my health. I knew Scott was the right person to help me as I have known him for many years and seen what he does to himself and his clients.
Scott explained exactly what I needed to do in the consultation which lasted about 3 hours. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but...
