Scott Jelleyman is a strength & performance coach focusing on developing an individual’s strength. The belief is that building strength is a better focus than working only on fat loss. The idea of growth is an optimistic mindset instead of focusing on failure and a negative attitude. i.e., fat loss, loss of inches, loss of lifestyle.  

Scott studied Exercise Science at the California University of Pennsylvania (currently Pennsylvania Western University

). Hee also carries a National Academy of Sports Medicine personal training certification and is a certified Level-1 speed coach under the National Association of Speed and Explosion.  

As a member of the American College of Sports Medicine, Scott has held the science of exercise and nutrition in the highest regard since he started training clients in 2006. Scott became a personal trainer in 2005 before departing from the United States Marine Corps service. He has worked with clients in both big-box gyms and boutique fitness environments, training clients ranging from the stay-at-home parents, C-level executives, the 9-5 worker that is just trying to be a little healthier to recognizable names in professional athletics, to local golf pros, international runway models, bikini competitors, and athletes on multiple levels. Above all, an individual's results are most important; as we continue to move throughout our lives and work to establish healthy habits,  our bodies will thank us later. 

Scott has also worked with The Biggest Loser (2007), hosted a fitness/nutrition radio show (107.9 The Link), and was one of five personal trainers selected nationally to participate in a 90-day documentary to show the progress of a client with special needs. The documentary was successful as it was produced by Allied Health (a CNN partner), which played nationally for one year in all applicable healthcare facilities airing the Allied Health channel.
