SK Vitality is the name of Scott Kolasinski's Personal Training Business

The Silicon Valley/Bay Area is a fast paced, on-the-go, "if you're not first, you're last" lifestyle; or, there are plenty of individuals that have lived that lifestyle and are looking to chill out. Time is limited and individuals want to make an effective use of their time.

With over 25 years in the personal training business, I have had the pleasure of working, learning and training with some of the best personal trainers in the Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Los Altos areas. After receiving my Masters degree in Exercise Science, it was these highly educated trainers who challenged my knowledge and encouraged me to continue learning. I further my education by receiving a number of certifications in fitness and nutrition. These certifications include by are not limited to CSCS, ISSN, and USAW.

My clients have had a range of success in improving their fitness level and achieving their athletic goals, such as running a marathon or entering their first powerlifting meet. They have achieved their fat loss goals, increased their muscle mass and altered their wardrobe without changing their diet, regardless of their age or physical limitations.

The Silicon Valley/Palo Alto area is home to a large number of active people of various backgrounds, ages and fitness levels. Many clients with various ailments can still maintain/improve their fitness level. If I am not familiar with an individual's condition, I can find someone who is an expert and we can both develop a science-based program that will create the most optimal you.

How is SK Vitality different than other personal training facilities? SK Vitality is focused on preventative health, more than just strength and cardiovascular training alone, and it does not overpromise on topics outside the realm of health. Preventative health is a lifelong process that requires accountability on the individual client. Ideally, it requires lifelong testing of various metabolic and musculoskeletal measurements. Call it "wellness" or "holistic" or "functional health", preventable health is comparable to a yearly physical you may have with your doctor that is for other biomarkers of living. I will help guide you along the way with the most informative and cutting-edge forms of measurements available today.

Exercise is a part of the formula to achieve an optimal you, but nutrition is also a key component. I offer nutritional suggestions to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.

In addition, I encourage regular (approximately every 6-months) strength, cardiovascular and blood work testing. Additional testing, such as a VO2 max and/or coronary calcium scans, might be encouraged depending on your goals or motivation. These types of tests are categorized under the umbrella of "preventative health". It has been said: "If you're not assessing you're just guessing". All of the tools are provided on this website.
