The Training Method Story

Scott has been the co-owner with his wife, Kristen, and head coach of The Training Method since day one. He has been a fitness enthusiast for most of his adult life, but really made it a priority in 2011. Scott has a passion for living a healthy lifestyle and has been committed to sharing that passion with each of his members for a decade. His top priority is to work closely with each of his members to help them accomplish any particular fitness goals they may have. He is a natural leader and has a gift for teaching movement in a way that all can understand. His degree in Health and Kinesiology along with his experience and background in sports and fitness is what first led him into coaching. Scott enjoys spending time with his four boys and wife, exercising, cycling, hunting and fishing, and just being outdoors whenever possible.

Kristen, co-owner and head coach has been involved in coaching since 2008, first as a high school sports coach and then as a fitness professional a few years later. She has a BFA in Studio Art where she also was a four year starter for the UTTyler Patriot softball team.  She is an avid learner who continues to grow her professional knowledge on how to help people move often, move well, and move in a variety of ways. Not only is she a full time gym owner, but she is a pregnancy and postpartum athleticism coach as well. In addition to group training, she also coaches women one-on-one. Kristen has a passion for helping people and works hard to meet each individual where they are while gently nudging them to reach their full potential. She holds a special place for all moms and moms to be, to keep them healthy, strong, and safe during these important and ever changing seasons of their lives through specific strategy, considerations, and intentional programming. Kristen enjoys being a mother to her four beautiful boys most, but also enjoys exercising, playing various sports whenever possible, creating art, and cooking. She hopes to inspire all of her members to live their best life with enthusiasm, confidence, and discipline.
