He has experienced the highs and lows achieving a World Championship in Powersports also “Bombing Out” (no result recorded) at Oceania Championships.
As a coach his philosophy is “round peg , square hole” finding solutions and making them fit for everyone he works with. As an athlete his mindset is “if it was easy everyone would be doing it”
Due to a cut in Government funding Scott was made redundant in Aug 2014. He is currently contracted by the Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee working as the Head Coach Powerliftng. He still volunteers his time to work with a number of athletes in the Australian Paralympic Powerlifting program helping them work towards their dreams of Gold Coast 2018 and Tokyo 2020.

Community focused, it will offer up the opportunity for all members of the community to be part of the journey supporting everyone in their health and fitness goals whether it’s representing their school, our country or just general wellbeing.

I recently signed up at Primal Health Club Benalla and couldn’t be happier with my decision! There’s a vast range of cardio machines to use, as well as plenty of well-maintained weighted machines and free weights to use. The staff are super friendly and have made me feel very welcomed upon signing up. I would recommend Primal Health to anyone who may be considering signing up to a gym.

Recently stayed for a few days in Benalla and just needed to keep up with our fitness journey, so my husband and I visited Primal three days in a row, each during for their open gym time. The space is large, bright and welcoming and the facilities and equipment are top notch- lots of bikes, treadmills, elypticals, weight machines, ergs (bike, row and ski), free weights (with Oly lifting platforms), kettlebells and so, so much more! Thanks for having us.
