Scott Bisset Personal Training
Committed to your success
I am a dedicated and experienced fitness professional. Born and raised in Edinburgh, I studied for three years at Edinburgh’s Telford College and hold these sports and fitness qualifications:
- Diploma in Sports Coaching and Sports Development
- Health & Safety at Work certification
- Pool Lifeguard
- Cycle Reebok Instructor
- Energise for Exercise: nutrition for sports and fitness certification.
I joined the fitness industry straight from college in 1997, and within two years had advanced to become Fitness Manager at The Edinburgh Club – at that time the capital’s largest and arguably most successful gym, where I led a team of six instructors. I remained at The Edinburgh Club until its closure in 2003. Currently I am the manager of George Kerr's, The Club where I train my clients.
I have always been passionate about sport. I played football competitively as a schoolboy, and as a teenager was diverted towards running. At college I played and studied a wide variety of sports including volleyball, badminton and hockey. I still run for pleasure, and to partner clients who enjoy running outdoors as part of their training programme. Weight training and PowerPlate are also part of my weekly exercise routine.
- Personal best 32min 14sec for 10km road race
- Personal best 15min 31 sec for 5km track
- represented Scotland U20 in UK Four Nations Championships
- ranked No.4 U20 in Scotland for cross-country
- ranked No.1 U20 in Edinburgh for road race
- ranked No.1 U20 in Edinburgh for cross-country
- Silver medallist in East of Scotland 10km Championships
- 2 X Penicuik 10km Champion
- 4 X Rigg Race Champion
Running is still my main sport, although I also make time for golf. We are lucky to have in Edinburgh so many beautiful parks and open spaces in which to run, and I encourage clients to make running in the open air part of their weekly fitness regime.
