NFL Running Back

Throughout my career I have the opportunity to train with Vinny multiple times before a season. If I am being honest I felt like those seasons were my best season. I felt the best and personally played the best. Vinny is a very unique person and I think that is what makes his training special. You are not going to do the same things everyday. Whether it was in the weight room and on the field he is not afraid to push the envelope. As athletes we have to push the envelope, that’s what separates the good from GREAT.

Baldwinsville, Head Football Coach, 1985-Present

I have known Vinny since his start of his Athletic Training Journey. Without a doubt the best I have ever been involved with. Having played football at a high level, and coached for 42 years, I have never worked with anyone like him. Vinny gets results from athletes that I never thought were possible. He is not only interested in the physical development of the athlete; but also the mental, emotional, and moral development of the athlete. I have always said that Vinny is a very cutting edge trainer with old school mentality. Vinny is the one person that I would trust my entire team to, he is like an extension of the program, I know that a player will come back 100% better. Vinny has allowed many of our marginal players to realize great seasons through the work they have done with him.

Your child will realize their full potential training with Vinny.

Professional Basketball Player

I approached Vinny in the beginning years of my basketball career in hopes to take my athletic ability to next level. It has now has been 5 years I have worked with Vinny and I have not looked back since! The results have been great, I just finished my 10th professional season as a basketball player, recovering from a Torn ACL, tendonitis, dislocated shoulder, and I have not missed one season! I contribute my ability to have such longevity in my career due to God given luck. And the work I have put in with Vinny every offseason! The thing I love about Vinny is his intensity in every workout, his energy is unmatched, and he is always up-to-date with the new innovative research in the performance world. I would confidently recommend Vinny to any athlete, professional or amateur if they are willing to work hard and want real results!

Former BC Running Back 2013-2017, former NYS Gatorade Player of the Year

Training with Vinny Scollo has made such an impact not only on my athletic performance but also on my life. He has not only guided me on how to perform proper movements and technique but on how to mature as an athlete and as a person. I am truly blessed and thankful for the opportunity to have trained and have been coached by Vinny. There is not another trainer that I would trust to help enhance my athletic performance. He is very unique in the way that he coaches and is extremely passionate about what he does. He has helped me become who I am today, and honesty without Vinny, I would not have the opportunities that I know have today. If your seeking someone who cares about you on a personal level and absolutely loves what he does Vinny is you guy. I would hands down recommend Vinny over any other personal trainer, because of his intelligence and because of his passion. You will not find another person more passionate about what he does than Vinny.

Parent

In the Spring of my daughter Kyra's freshman year of HS, she tore her ACL playing AAU basketball. After surgery we were recommended to Vinny Scollo and his staff as an additional supplement to rehabbing her knee. After extensive talks with Vinny we sent Kyra to him where she rehabbed, pre-habbed and trained extensively for the next 3 years. In retrospect it was the best decision we ever made in regards to her training and desire to reach her athletic potential. Vinny provides an infectious atmosphere, pushing his clients to reach their limits, all the while explaining why they are doing what they are doing. He touches on everything from nutrition to academics to form and focus during training sessions. Vinny kept an honest an open approach with our family refusing to allow us to just pay for his services if Kyra wasn't committed to the program. Kyra went on to achieve her dream of obtaining a D-1 Scholarship and Vinny's system and work with her cannot be overstated. I can't recommend he and his program enough. Vinny is the real deal and I'd tell any parent that your child will benefit tremendously not just from his training but, from being around him, his knowledge and his true passion for helping athletes grow in all facets.

Mother, Distance Runner

I am a 48 year old mom of three athletes ages 18, 16 and 12. My kids have been working out with Vinny for many years. They always strive to be on top and Scollo Strength has challenged them, pushed them and given them the confidence they need to compete at the highest level! Personally, I am fit, I run and I have always been in good shape. In the past I have had this preconceived notion that by running, and doing cardio, I would transform my body and burn unwanted fat. Sadly, after many years of following this same routine, I still could not understand how I could be working so hard with such minimal results. My husband was also already working with Vinny and convinced me that strength training would change my body and mind! At first I as a little apprehensive, as I had always thought that I would become big and bulky by lifting weights. I soon learned that this was further from the truth, and I am so happy that I opened up my mind to this! I have been training with Vinny for 3 years now and I am a new person! My energy level is at its peak!!! The confidence that I have in myself and what I can achieve has never been greater, I am running my fastest race, and my body has never looked better! I am truly grateful to Vinny and Scollo Strength for his dedication to my family, our individual fitness goals, not to mention his passion and love for helping others! Scollo Strength is a huge part of our lives and we are so happy to be a part of this amazing family!

"Vinny Scollo is the most influencial and inspiring person I have ever met. I have been training with Vinny for about three years now, and he has dramatically changed my life. My name is Kylan Benoit, I am a college student who is trying to walk on my college football team at Georgia Southern University. I am currently training for a semi skill position on the college team after previously playing as an offensive lineman my senior year of high school. I started training with Vinny around the end of my junior year of high school. Over the past 10 months I have gone from weighing 265 pounds to 219 pounds. I have never looked or felt so good in my life before and I have Vinny to thank for that. He makes it very clear from the beginning that if you are consistent, compliant, work hard and have the right mind set you are guarenteed to see results. The atmosphere he creates in his gym is intensity, encouragement, and respect. In better words, leave your ego at the door. The Scollo community is a family, and we are there to better ourselves and each other. The gym is made of people who are going to constantly getting after it, and is not meant for the weak minded. It is inspiring to see someone who continues to put everything they have into their profession every day. Vinny loves what he does, and continues to effect peoples lives just like he did to mine."

"When I came to Vinny Scollo, I could not bench press or deadlift a weightless bar without having excruciating pain. Doctors told me to consider surgery. Within weeks of working with Vinny, I was not only lifting heavy again, but lifting weights I had not lifted in years and most importantly I was pain free doing it. In addition to this, my job calls for me to travel often and work long, overnight hours. Vinny gave me programming to do in areas with the most minimal equipment available, while on the road and I never missed a beat. Vinny also checked in on me while I was doing this to monitor progress from afar. Whether you are looking to get an edge as a professional athlete or a middle aged adult who has fallen off the fitness path, Vinny Scollo has the expertise and the program to get you wherever you want to go. Do yourself a favor and invest in yourself, your health and your life, and train with Vinny."
