mugshot of Jon MacVarish, scott fitness personal trainer "Your body should be able to keep up with whatever you want out of life. Whether you want to be an all-star, a weekend warrior, or just make it through the day without having to stop and catch your breath, you should have a plan of action that is customized to your personal lifestyle and goals.

That’s where I come in---I’m here to figure out exactly what you need to get you where you want to be---and I love it. As a personal trainer, I have yet to meet two people that have the same motivations, goals and fitness level. This makes my job challenging, but well worth it. Helping people find the confidence in themselves to live without limits while having fun doing it is what makes my profession my passion. scott fitness personal trainer, jon macvarish

My background as a certified trainer and professional soccer player has given me a lot of personal insight and experience in fitness training. It has also taught me how to find the dedication and commitment needed to make a real difference. I believe that the key is to make your workout something you could look forward to--challenging, produces results you can see, and a hell of a lot of fun. Beyond that, I’ve dedicated myself to finding out what motivates each one of my clients, and in turn, I expect my clients to commit to making exercise a part of their lives.

“Training with Jon was not at all what I expected it would be like to work out with a trainer. Instead of the boot camp drill sergeant, Jon is a just fun, laid back regular-guy that happens to know a whole lot about how to make your body look amazing. After only a couple months of working with Jon, I realized that I am in the best shape of my life and I am excited to go further. Although, I can’t figure out how exactly he does it, because half of the time, I forget that I’m actually working out…we have way too much fun.”
~ Jamie – Personal Training Client


My approach to creating a customized plan is based on total body fitness starting with core strengthening. The core is where all movement in your body originates and a strong core gives you a more stable platform for all other life activities. Not to mention this helps reduce the risk of injury and maximizes the results of your efforts. These methods help sculpt firm muscle in “problem areas” such as hips, thighs, stomach, and butt. This coupled with some positive motivation will also help balance out the rest of the body so that you can fully enjoy life. That is what it is all about! You, enjoying life to the fullest with a body that can keep up with the rest of you!"

Hard Core is a 1 hour SGPT (Small Group Personal Training) session that focuses on the core muscles or deep muscles of the torso. The cost is $10 per member and is paid to the trainer.
  • The Problem: Most traditional workouts do little to focus on the core muscles leaving them in a weakened state and you more susceptible to injury and other various malaise. Symptoms of a weakened core include, but are not limited to, poor posture, fatigue, back pain, instability, lack of balance, and ineffective workouts.
  • The Solution: Take Hard Core and know that you are working toward looking and feeling your best by building a good foundation for your muscles. By not ignoring the muscles in your midsection (and I am not talking about thousands of crunches) you optimize the way the body can work for you. The course centers around building balance and stability through range of motion and in multiple planes of motion.
  • The Benefits: What it all means is that you don't have to work as hard to look your best and you are minimizing the risk of hurting yourself in the process.Imagine flat abs, tight glutes, and the posture only attained by runway models and children that went to boarding school. Now imagine that it is you with these qualities! The session will get you results that you will feel as well as see!
See you in Hard Core!
