Hi, I’m Robert Scott, a qualified Personal Trainer and Biomechanics Coach with a passion for helping people to get their bodies moving, working and feeling better.
I started in health and fitness overweight, asthmatic and struggling with anxiety, self-confidence and fatigue. I eventually found my passion in bodybuilding. It was all I knew and that's how I trained, but over the years I dealt with sciatica, nerve, back and neck pain that would always hold me back from continuing to progress.
Following a career change from chef to Personal Trainer I built a successful PT business over a number of years. Surrounded by a team of high quality industry professionals in Auckland New Zealand, I started to learn other training and mobility methods outside of bodybuilding from powerlifting, triphasic methods for sports, sprinting and running mechanics, and joint care.
Still dealing with pain and fatigue I finally decided enough was enough and went and got x-rays of my spine done. I was shown a compressed vertebrae, torsions in my lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine and 'uneven hips'. Seeing that at only 25 years old was a shock, especially when I had been training and mobilizing in the way that is traditionally taught.
From that day I wanted to learn anything I could about how our bodies work, how to deal with posture and why chronic pain happens.
After years of learning and study, bodies I once thought of as muscles and bones I now understand to be a complex range of systems working as one.
I have continued to grow my PT business and enjoy every moment of seeing clients unlock their potential and grow in their lives no matter their goals.
