Scott Colby

Scott Colby is the owner and manager of SC Fitness, and is the Texas area coordinator of Achieve Fitness USA. He holds a Master's degree from the University of Virginia specializing in Biomechanics. He also currently conducts research in the Movement Science Laboratory at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and is certified as a personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise. He is pursuing a certification in fitness nutrition from the National Endurance Sports Trainers Association.
Previously, Scott worked in the Coach Krzyzewski Human Performance Laboratory at Duke University where his research interests included the mechanisms of ACL injuries during athletic competition and the higher rates of ACL injuries in female versus male athletes. He helped evaluate the fitness levels of the University of North Carolina's women's soccer players and participated in a research project examining the landing technique of the Duke University men's basketball players. Scott did a sports medicine research internship in 1996 in Vail Colorado under the guidance of Dr. Richard Steadman, the head U.S. ski team physician and Dr. Richard Hawkins, one of the team physicians of the Denver Broncos.

Scott has given presentations at the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Society of Biomechanics and the Clinical Gait and Movement Analysis conferences, and has published articles in The Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Clinical Biomechanics, The American Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, and Gait and Posture.

His training philosophy focuses on developing strength and functional ability in movements, not muscles. This entails learning to move the body in functional patterns, which incorporate strength, balance and core stabilization. This is more efficient and beneficial than training a single muscle or group of muscles in a uniform pattern, especially one dictated by the use of a weight training machine. The body works as an integrated unit and needs to be trained as such. This type of training will best prepare the individual for competitive sport or tasks of everyday life.
