bobby scott | Owner & head personal trainer
My story started years ago at the age of 13 when I stepped into the gym for the first time. Through encouragement from my father and my own personal motivation, I was dedicated to my athletics. Training for me back then was about performance and competition. Through years of hard work and determination, I was able to reach my goal of playing collegiate baseball.
My love for athletics wasn’t just about the games played or trophies won, it was mostly about the work and time that was put in during the off-season. I developed a passion for the weight room - pushing my limits physically and mentally. I learned how to fuel my body and recover, always striving to reach my full potential. As I graduated college, my athletics came to an end. My new goal was to share all that I had learned with the next generation of athletes. I was able to do that for two incredible years at the International Junior Golf Academy in Hilton Head Island, SC where I worked as an assistant strength coach. During my early years as a personal trainer, I held onto that competitive mindset. I dabbled in some competitive fitness competitions and continue to push my physical limits. I was strong and lean and “thought” I was healthy.
Fast forward to 2013 when my first son was born. I was working long hours, supporting a family, and was a new father continuing to push the limits in my workouts. This wasn’t working for me anymore. The intense training sessions at the gym coupled with financial responsibilities, being a present father and long hours training other clients were taking a toll on me physically and mentally. I felt fatigued, and I was losing (unhealthy) weight! Something needed to change.
In the Fall of 2017, I opened OPEX South Shore. Through my own personal story and experiences, my mission is to now provide an option to the folks of the South Shore with a NEW approach to fitness. An approach that is 100% personalized to YOU and your LIFE. Finding that balance of fitness that blends perfectly with your lifestyle is where the magic happens. For me, once I realized I needed to change my fitness mindset from performance to health, it was a total game-changer. My vitality was back, my overall energy and spirit were rejuvenated. I was able to regain some muscle mass and enjoy life the way I’ve always wanted. As a 40-year-old father of two, husband, and business owner, I can share with you first-hand experience and provide a plan that will work forever.
My ultimate goal for you is to find full autonomy in your health and fitness. To provide you with the tools and education necessary to take with you for the rest of your life. I look forward to having those conversations with you, guiding you, inspiring you and creating a lasting relationship that will allow you to find success in fitness, health, and life.
