Leroy Scott

My name is Leroy Scott. I’m one of the owners/directors & the Head Strength Coach of Hunter Strength and Performance, based in the Hunter Valley, NSW.

All my life I have had a love for sport and fitness. I played ruby league until the age of 17, at which time I jointed the Royal Australian Navy. During my career in the Navy I played rugby union.

In July 2007 my life got thrown a curve ball. I injured my back. From then it has been a long road to recovery. It took 6 1/2 years of physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to get my back to a level to start training again. In this time I put on a lot of unwanted kgs.

In early 2015 I grew a passion for Powerlifting. I started training for my first novice powerlifting comp that was in September. Since then I haven’t looked back.
