Experienced tutor in Personal trainer in Oak Park Heights, Scott offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I started working with Scott/Fitness Quest in May 2019, and knew nothing about how to use fitness center equipment, routines, etc. Scott has been a great trainer -- taking me from being a novice to now knowing what to do / how to use gym equipment. I have Parkinson's which has its own concerns, but Scott has adapted equipment/routines as needed, plus has included a lot of routines I can be doing to improve balance and other areas that are impaired. I'm only stopping my workouts with Scott at this time (spring, 2020) as I'm moving out of the area and am sure hoping I find a new trainer (in new location) who has Scott's knowledge, level of caring about his clients, and has his great ability to motivate and encourage. I will miss working with him!

I have been training with Scott Schilling with Fitness Quest twice a week for more than 2 years. He has an excellent training style. He listens to me to understand what I want to achieve and then helps me to achieve my goals both during training sessions as well as through informational emails. He works the whole body varying the exercises to make sure all my muscles are exercised. He changes up the routine making our sessions interesting. He challenges me and at the same time provides positive encouraging feedback.

When I first walked into a gym I was intimidated by the huge array of exercise equipment. When I was offered a one hour free session with Scott I gladly accepted. By the end of that session I was convinced that I would not succeed on my own. I knew that without Scott's motivation and more knowledge of the equipment and how my body would would react to stress, I would give up on my own. By signing up with Scott for 3 months I was sure that I would commit myself to him so I would not let him down. After three months I had a good knowledge of the equipment and I had noticeable results. I lost over 20 pounds and went from a 38 inch waist to a 34. Scott was always flexible with scheduling, motivating me to push myself and just a very likable man.
Thank you Scott, you changed my life.

Very professional, Is on time and takes his time with his clients

I have been training with Scott for two years now. I was impressed with his approach to physical fitness from the start. Scott assessed my goals and physical condition at that time and laid out a plan for me to work towards those goals. Scott has a friendly approachable personality, and I look forward to our sessions. He always has a new approach that gives variety to my work outs. It's never the "same old routine". He's encouraged me to look at my diet, and by making some small alterations in what I eat, I'm actually eating more often now then I did before and have lost body fat and gained lean mass. I believe Scott would be a great match for anyone at any level of fitness--whether you just want to climb a flight of stairs without catching your breath or you've hit a plateau on your way to the Olympics.

Scott is a great instructor that designs the work outs according to your goals and abilities. He never pushes but encourages his clients to succeed. He has a great personality that makes him fun to be around.

Scott is very professional . I have worked with scott,for years, he has seen me through many hip replacements and several knee replacements he encourages me even when I get discouraged and keeps in contact with me the whole time he’s the best trainer I’ve ever had and I want to continue training with him if anybody has doubts that they can’t do this by themselves pick scott he will not let you down and will be by your side the whole way he will even make you laugh when you feel like crying

I have previously worked with 4 other trainers and working with Scott was by far my best experience and the best results. Scott truly cared about my fitness level and pushed my endurance/weight training without being hurtful but to my limit. He has a super fun personality that makes you look forward to each training session. Each workout was different, never repeated and amazing. You will never regret working with Scott and I highly recommend it. 🌟

Scott was my trainer for a couple years. I was new to the gym environment and the exercise equipment which can be daunting for a man in his 60's, but Scott made me fell comfortable. He did a fantastic job customizing a fitness program to fit my goals. The routines he had were varied to address muscle groups and therefore were not boring. I highly recommend Scott as a trainer.

Scott is an incredible trainer. He is gentle yet pushes you. He pays attention to limitations to avoid injuries. He really mixes up the routines so that they emphasize different muscle groups and also keeps it really interesting. He is the best trainer with whom I have ever worked.

I innately hate exercise because I find it excruciatingly boring. But Scott keeps me interested and the sessions fly by quickly. Scott is the perfect mix of motivation and mercy. He encourages me and keeps me interested and active, even between training session with encouraging texts to keep me on track. And they are effective sessions! When I started I was leg pressing about 20# maybe 20 times. A year or so later, I'm leg pressing 175# 30 times. Having dealt with chronic health issues and car accidents over the decades before I started training, I was afraid to push myself, but Scott was able to tailor the program to gently push me ahead and I've become stronger and just love that I'm not so fragile anymore! I've even caught myself a few times saying, "That was fun!" Who would ever have believed that coming from me?! I blame that on Scott!

I enjoyed working with Scott. Customized workouts based on my limitations/injury's. Great coach!
