Bring the Pain

Keith Scott — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:41:50 +0000

Through the last couple of years, I have found out that I am good at getting rid of other people’s pain. I see many clients and 90% of them are in some kind of consistent discomfort or pain throughout the day. When they come to me, most just want to get into some kind of [...]

“I just wanna tone up!”

Keith Scott — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:02:43 +0000

One of my biggest peeves…when people (mostly women) tell me that they only want to “tone” and they “don’t want to build muscle.” I have news for you…toning is a misnomer. Muscles grow or muscles get smaller. You get fat, or you lose fat. It is as simple as that. “Toning” refers to building enough [...]

In-home ‘self-rehab’ programs have their advantages

Many people have been through weeks or months of physical therapy to treat their chronic pain or injuries, only to have their hopes diminished in a flash when their insurance runs out and they have to discontinue their treatments. It is an all too common theme in the therapy world. Others find relief quickly and [...]

Training with Shoulder Pain

Keith Scott — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:48:08 +0000

People complain about having shoulder pain all of the time. Usually, I get a gym member, friend or even a stranger approach me about how their shoulder started hurting during their training routines. Sometimes people use shoulder pain as a reason to stop training all together. Other people train right through the pain, not realizing [...]

No Middle anymore

Keith Scott — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:24:16 +0000

Sometimes in life you have to take a stand…one way or another. You have to pick sides…you have to make a choice and once you do, you have to run with it. There can’t always be a middle. There can’t always be a safe zone. Sometimes you have to take a chance and go for [...]

“I Don’t Know”

“Mr. Hand: Why are you continuously late for this class, Mr. Spicoli? Why do you shamelessly waste my time like this? Jeff Spicoli: [long pause, but then with complete truth in his answer] I don’t know. Mr. Hand: [Mr. Hand goes to blackboard and writes the words 'I Don't Know', then underlines them] [reciting] Mr. [...]

Emptiness, regret and disappointment

Keith Scott — Tue, 17 May 2011 17:03:06 +0000

Those are three emotions that I never want to feel. I would like to think that no one would ever want to feel any of those things. However, I sometimes see it in the eyes of gym goers and even some clients that have fallen away from their goals. I have seen it in people [...]

For those of you that have read my blog over the years, you might have noticed that I have not been “blogging” very much at all for the last 4-5 months. Although I love to write and wish I had been able to blog a lot more often for the last few months, there have [...]

The Value of Sports Performance Training

Keith Scott — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:34:54 +0000

These days, everyone seems to be a sports performance coach. Go to any personal trainer and ask about if he or she can train and athlete and most likely they will tell you they can. In fact, there are many regular sports coaches who have no experience in training anyone, advertising sports performance training. Without [...]
