What our clients have to say

 Scott McCaa consistently demonstrates “personalized training” and positive outcomes with each of his clients.  My results with Scott are immeasurable, and I credit his commitment to excellence, his knowledge and desire for continuous learning, and his passion as a problem solver to the unique needs, physical challenges and goals of his clients.
Not only has my fitness level improved, but I no longer suffer from chronic back and hip pain.
Scott founded Roots Fitness on the principles of patient, personalized client service and passionate dedication to his profession, and I highly recommend him! 

 I’ve been working with Scott for more than two years.  At my age of 51, his client-specific planning has helped me achieve my ever-evolving goals.  My fitness level is likely the best it’s ever been.  I appreciate that Scott is always learning in his field and is able to pivot when specific issues arise in my training.  As I continue to age, the training I’m doing with Scott will only increase in importance. 

 If you are looking for a personal trainer to coach you through your transformation journey, then Jonathan Lutz is your guy! Jonathan is a highly skilled, hard-working, and reliable trainer that listened to my goals and tailors workouts to help achieve them. He's super encouraging and challenges me with dynamic exercises which has led to better habits, weight loss, and gaining strength. I highly recommend Jonathan if you are looking to reach your weight loss goals as well as improve your overall performance and health! 

I’ve been training with Scott for about 3 years now. As someone who grew up playing sports and working out, I can tell you that I’ve never felt better since training with Scott. I’ve never met anyone as passionate and knowledge in this field or any field for that matter. If you’re looking for the best trainer in Nashville, look no further. You will not regret it.

I’m in the best shape of my life thanks to Scott McCaa.  When I started working with him a little over two years ago I did not enjoy exercise of any kind.  Scott has helped me realize that functional strength and mobility are essential for everyday life, and he uses his extensive knowledge base to make our sessions fun and productive.  When I get a “tweak” in a muscle or joint, Scott knows just what to do to make it go away.  He does a wonderful job of explaining and demonstrating things so that I get the maximum benefit from each exercise.  I am stronger and have more energy than ever before and I have Scott to thank for that!

Scott is amazing! I had previously suffered from lower back pain for about 8 years with herniated discs, which caused sciatic nerve pain. I had back surgery to try to fix these issues, but still found myself in pain from time to time as a result of not working out properly etc. I was frustrated and scared I would hurt myself working out as I had done before a few times, but from the first time I started working with Scott, he gave me the guidance I needed and he took things slow, which built up my confidence and strength! He has a wealth of knowledge and is always happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have. Since working with Scott, I am so happy to share that my back is feeling great and I feel stronger than ever! Strongly recommend!

After 45 years working full time as a nurse, I consistently deal with hip and knee pain.  The pain prevented me from standing up from a chair without using both hands to lift my weight.  I had reached the point of consulting with several orthopedic surgeons and had multiple physical therapy sessions which were not providing long term relief.  Because I am 70 years old, I was concerned that a personal trainer would push me too hard, too fast.  Instead I found Scott to be patient and extremely knowledgeable regarding the muscular and joint structures.  He was able to quickly pinpoint the cause of my issues and instruct me through movements which provided short and long term relief. After 8 visits, my strength has improved to the point that I can stand from a seated position without using my hands.  I can also walk without “wobbling” from side to side with equal distribution of my weight and no pain.

You will get customized training for your particular body type, needs and goals. Scott McCaa is at the top of his field as his knowledge goes well beyond training. He communicates well and doesn’t waste any time. If you have goals and want to work, contact Scott! You won’t be sorry!

I have been working out with Scott for over a year. I came to him with some aches and  pains that would not go away and would not allow me to work out the way I wanted. He has been so amazing in helping get my function back and even better than ever! I am the strongest I have ever been and cannot recommend him enough!

I have been training with Scott for three years and can attest that his personalized approach, commitment to excellence, and desire to be a life long learner in the health and fitness arena directly translate to outstanding outcomes for his clients.  One of the unique aspects of working with Scott is his ability to meet you where you are - whether that be an elite athletic looking to gain a slight edge, a 71 year old women who winces in pain getting out of her chair (ie my mom), or somewhere in between like me - a 40 something year old who works in a highly stressful professional field while caring for a special needs child which takes quite a toll on my body day in and day out. I can honestly say that I have never felt stronger, more energized, and confident that Scott can help me address the “tweaks” or “aches” that may arise between training sessions. You can throw out all preconceived notions when you walk in the door to work with Scott.  Expect personalized coaching, a focus on those goals that are most important to you, insights on things you had no clue you needed to work on, and most important RESULTS. The highest praise that I can offer Scott is what I have watched him do in the last 3 months to transform my mom’s ability to function pain free in every day life.  I would recommend anyone I know to Scott.  He is that good..full stop.
