About Scott Jones:

Scott's Experience: After graduating from Marshall University with my M.S. in exercise physiology I headed west to Colorado, starting my career as the Head Of Sports Performance for the HIT Center. After the first year I went off on my own and have since worked over 13,000 one on one sessions with athletes of all levels and backgrounds including Olympic level athletes, professional athletes, adaptive athletes, youth, recreational, and lifestyle athletes!

Scott's Coaching Philosophy: The science of exercise and the art of coaching combined with the evolved belief that everyone is an athlete drive the coaching and development of every athlete I work with. Don't think you are an athlete? It's my goal to teach and train you otherwise.

Scott's Personal Summary: I moved to Colorado the month after I received my Masters Degree and haven't budged. I found my wife sitting next to me on a chairlift on a powder day in Breckenridge chomping on a blueberry pancake. We did 7 weeks in SE Asia for our honeymoon, and now have two amazing boys. We are both born with a passion for moving, adventure, and getting others excited about these things! I just started a more personal Instagram feed if ya wanna stalk me a bit before hiring me! Check it out HERE.
