So thankful I found this place! Several of my friends told me about Roots but I was hesitant to spend the money. So glad I did! I consider this health care now. I’ve struggled with mid back pain for years and this team helped me immediately. They are so knowledgeable. No more paying for physical therapists! It is worth the money to have one on one personalized training. My strength has increased significantly and it has made everyday life noticeably easier, not to mention I’m fitting in my clothes better.

Glutes by Roots. Yes, that’s the headline and I would wear that shirt proudly. They can do more than glutes — but, let’s be honest, that’s every girl’s dream. I found Roots because I love lifting… however, I’ve been “strong wrong” for years and gotten away with it till I couldn't. Sure I looked fit, but at a detriment. Torn meniscus, questionable mechanics, pure stubbornness. I’m basically a late-model truck. The AC didn’t work, the clutch was touchy… but I’ll still climb that mountain. I could tell from their bio they were different. I wasn’t wrong. A few weeks in, my knee stopped trying to exit stage left with my back acting as my workhorse every time I squatted. My tracking improved. My movement improved. And this time? I’m getting strong the right way. Functional strength was my #1 goal. Aesthetic muscle changes? Yes and yes. That gets two enthusiastic thumbs up. Here’s what Roots has that a lot of places don’t: Intelligence. Kinesiology is real. Bodies don’t all fire the same way. They actually coach accordingly. Integrity. Every rep matters. Every cue matters. They care about output — not ego. Family. Small gym. All shapes, sizes, ages. They push you to your max — wherever that is. And when someone gets that extra rep? We all feel excited and proud for them. Fun. It’s hard work. But it’s the good kind. Not gonna lie, sometimes I still tilt my head sideways during a new exercise demo. I’m not putting that evil on me by saying it looks crazy. Trust me, it all just works somehow. Go back up to bullet 1 - Intelligence. So should you try Roots Fitness? Yes. I'm still working on getting the t-shirt :)

Scott has been my personal trainer for 4.5 years and I highly recommend him and his staff at Roots Fitness. In my time training with Scott, I’ve been pregnant on two separate occasions. Scott has been an incredible partner to me in ensuring I had appropriate workouts while pregnant, but most importantly, developed our plans for postpartum recovery. Scott is the consummate professional and does the extra work to keep learning and growing for each of his clients. My body has never felt better or been stronger and I owe so much of that to Scott.

I have been a client of Scott at Roots Fitness for more than two years and I highly recommend and trust Scott. His mastery of the human body and its unique biomechanics are second to none. He has helped me reach fitness milestones — and overcome legacy injuries — that I could have never done on my own. Wherever you are on your fitness journey, I am confident Scott will meet you right where you are and ensure that you get the attention and care that helps you exceed your goals.

Training with Scott was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my long-term health. I started with him in 2023 and quickly convinced my husband, father, and mother to train with him too—that’s how good he is. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and intentional in every session. He’s helped me become stronger than ever while keeping me consistent and safe through injury. The environment he, Will, Hamza, and the Roots clients create is truly special. If you want to swing your kids around or carry your entire Costco haul in one trip, Scott will get you there and beyond. Even after moving from Nashville to the West Coast, we’ve learned that Scott is truly irreplaceable.
