I've been working with Scott for just over 3 months now and I'm extremely pleased with what we've accomplished so far. During that time we've been training 2 times per week for weightlifting workouts, and Scott also put together a diet and cardio plan for me to cover non-training days. I've been checking in daily with him to help nail down the new habits, and that's been exactly the extra accountability I've needed to stick to the plan. He's even offered to act as an "accountability buddy" and help me check in on other, non-fitness habits I've been working to establish.
The monthly check-ins (weight, bodyfat, and physical measurements) are nice for putting numbers to the gains I was feeling, but the primary benefits for me have been the intangibles.
My results have progressed more quickly than I expected. As of the 3-month check in, my body fat is down, I've gained 15 lbs, body measurements are trending in the correct direction, and my working weights for lifts continue to get heavier. Even more so than the quantitative gains, the intangible ones have meant even more to me. My self-confidence has improved, and I am happier when I look in the mirror; my body feels stronger and more useful; and back pain has essentially gone away with my increase in core strength.
I'm lucky that I live only 5 blocks from Scott's place, but my decision to start working with him has been transformative for me. It's felt to me that Scott cares about what he does and is invested in me and my health on a personal level. However, that does come with the disclaimer that Scott is the first personal trainer I've worked with, so take all of the above as you will/ymmv/etc.
Bottom line: my experience has been fantastic, no complaints, and I'd absolutely recommend Scott's training services to others.
