About Us: Scott Exley

Recovery Pro / 100%FIT is me, Scott Exley. I am a former International athlete having competed for Great Britain in the Decathlon.

I have worked in the fitness industry since 1997, for all of my adult life. I started Personal Training in 1999 and have been doing it ever since! Over the years I have been fortunate to work under and alongside some incredibly knowledgeable trainers, coaches and physiotherapists who have all made an impact on my own development as a trainer, coach and rehabilitation specialist. I’m a big believer in continual professional development (CPD) and regularly undertake courses and attend, conferences, seminars and workshops helping me continue to improve my knowledge and level of service for everything I offer.

One of my earliest memories is of watching Daley Thompson competing in and winning the Decathlon at the 1984 Olympics. As a result Athletics became my first love with competitive sport, health, fitness and the human body all becoming passions, fascinations, obsessions even at times! I have also fought MMA (mixed martial arts) at semi-pro level, ran marathon’s, competed in physique shows and indoor rowing competitions.

Now, in my mid-late 40’s I simply train because it makes me feel good…physically and mentally. For however long my life is, training will always be an integral part of it. I am fortunate to be able to earn a living sharing that passion and helping such a variety of clients improve and make progress.
