Client testimonial — strength training results with Carlsbad personal trainer Scott Isley at Team IPF.

Scott is a game changer! I started seeing Scott after 10 years of avoiding weight lifting and strength training due to a shoulder injury. I'm now 2.5 months in to working with Scott, and have seen amazing results (including 5% body fat loss and adding 7lbs of muscle)! Scott does a great job of breaking down the fundamental movements and lifts, and makes sure to push you the right amount. He has a strong attention to detail to proper form which I really appreciate. He takes a holistic perspective and has insightful tips and recommendations on sleep, nutrition, and overall health. Also, the facility is clean, private, and has all the equipment you need to succeed. I'd highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to get started or improve their fitness routine.

If that sounds like your style, I highly recommend training with Scott. You'll definitely see real results. Thanks brotha!

Scott is a PRO! He has helped me get back into strength training after a really long time. He challenges me with new exercises every time and also points out where I have made improvements since I began. I had some issues with my knee and he has helped me strengthen it so it doesn't hurt anymore and I have more confidence in exercising as a result. I can't recommend him enough!

 

Scott really is the best personal trainer I have ever been to! He's so knowledgeable, patient and thorough. His approach takes into consideration all aspects of fitness and wellness to ensure you hit any and all of your goals in the right way, even if that means slowing down in the beginning to get things right. I am so grateful I found him because I'm finally in a place where I am enjoying the journey and truly seeing results! Highly recommend!

 

From the very first correspondence it was a 5 star experience. Scott is quick to reply and treats his business, like a business! This is such an important factor when working with a trainer. It's not just how they are with you in the gym, but how they are outside of the gym that matters. Now, let's get down to inside the gym. Scott pays more attention to form than any other trainer I've worked with, and is so aware of your body and muscle movements. This is SO important when working out. I had been neglected by my past trainer, and Scott was quick to point out all my bad habits which were inevitably going to lead to an injury down the road. Just 4 weeks into my experience with Scott, I'm noticing a more positive improvement in my strength and

 

I've been a runner and active for the last 12 years but always knew that I was missing the proper foundation like core strength, proper form, and engaging the right muscles when strength training. I also hated stretching because I was always so tight from head to toe. I started training with Scott 5 months ago, about 9 months after having my first baby. My goal was to get in the best shape of my life postpartum. Since then I've lost 15 pounds, I no longer have lower back pain, I have core strength that I've never experienced before, and I am significantly stronger. Scott showed me how and what to stretch to prevent injury and it has definitely helped my mobility and tightness. Scott is professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and has done an incredible job as a personal trainer. Hands down worth the money! I highly recommend him.

 

I started seeing Scott 8 weeks ago and I've already seen a huge improvement in my overall body composition. I never considered personal training as I was someone who already had the motivation to work out 6 days a week doing group fitness/HIIT classes. I recently learned how important strength training is for women and I wanted to learn how to lift heavier weights with good form which Scott has helped with immensely. He has great attention to detail and I no longer have aches and pains like I used to from overworking my body and using improper form. I am already down a pant size and my posture has improved significantly. I NEVER in my life thought I'd be able to do a chin up (I told him this in our first week and he told me I would do one by the end of the month). He was right. I am shocked by how much progress I've made in such a short time and excited for what's to come. Scott is not only a great trainer but also an overall health and wellness coach who holds me accountable for my lifestyle outside of the gym. I would HIGHLY recommend Scott to anyone looking to improve themselves.

 

I randomly found Scott and could not be happier.
Scott is simply the best trainer I have ever worked with. If you're looking for Pop Exercise or whatever the current fitness trend is, go somewhere else. Scott is fact based and uses proven science to achieve your goals. He uses all resources at his disposal - including but not limited to AI - to customize his support for you. For example, he plugged all of my info into an LLM (anonymously) and created a customized dietary plan that suited my age, my goals, and my peculiarities (i.e., 16 hour daily fasting).
The results have been fantastic - he has found and strengthened my weaknesses, he has challenged my preconceptions of fitness, and has delivered results: 20 lbs lost in 5 months in a careful and controlled manner, and stronger than I've ever been.
On top of all that, he's a very good human being. He meets you where you're at and doesn't intimidate, but instead cultivates your health. My wife is now working with him and getting the same results.
If you're serious, work with Scott. You can't find a better partner who truly wants to help you succeed in whatever you're trying to achieve.
