A catalyst in personal transformation; with positive energy, unstoppable passion in his beliefs and mission, Nick Scott delivers a story and message that is so powerful, it ignites body, mind and spirit!

Once a promising football athlete, a near fatal traffic accident changed Wheelchair Bodybuilder Champion Nick Scott's life as he knew it forever- Overweight and disparaging, Nick determined to transform his life from a debilitating tragedy into a personal triumph. "We each have a story to tell, and if we choose to, the right and responsibility to use for good what we learn through overcoming our weaknesses and developing our strengths and abilities." - Nick

As a professional bodybuilder, wheelchair ballroom dancer, personal trainer, motivational speaker, and an entertainer. Nick Scott has the enthusiasm, vision, convictions, abilities, and life experience to reach out to inspire and give hope to others, especially those who are unaware of the personal strength they can tap into if only they will believe and try. Nick Scott's sheer strength of will has helped transform individuals ­- whether they are professional athletes or senior executives - as well as organizations and corporations across the country. I inspire others to break through to new levels of peak performance and success.   

Founder and owner of the largest online wheelchair-bodybuilding community
(www.Wheelchair-Bodybuilding.com) and as a global promoter of the sport of wheelchair bodybuilding, Nick's mission is to bring more awareness and exposure to the sport of wheelchair bodybuilding, and he intends to lead by example. Wheelchair bodybuilding is Nick's passion and his life, and his goal for this sport comes from the heart. He has promoted the sport in many forms through news stations, newspapers and major magazines as well as through motivational speaking events and stage appearances at countless competitions and events. Nick has traveled across the United States to raise national awareness and exposure to the sport of wheelchair bodybuilding.

Now a certified fitness and bodybuilding trainer and an award winning champion in the wheelchair division of bodybuilding and two time world powerlifting champion, internationally acclaimed Nick Scott is transforming wheelchair bodybuilding at groundbreaking levels. Through Nick's extensive efforts, for the very first time in bodybuilding's competitive history, Nick Scott was granted to put on the first IFBB Pro Wheelchair Division whereby wheelchair bodybuilders who compete at a professional level will be recognized as such and granted their IFBB Professional Status; the IFBB Pro Card being the highest rank a bodybuilder can achieve. 

Fall 2008 Nick Scott became the founder and President of Wheelchair Bodybuilding, Inc. a non-profit tax exempt 501 (c) (3) national organization. The purpose of Wheelchair Bodybuilding, Inc. is to provide and support the Wheelchair Bodybuilding experience through activities that are open to any child, adult, or veteran with a disability with the hope of providing both physical and psychological therapeutic value to that person. Summer of 2010 altered the name to Wheelchair Athletics, Inc which will open the doors to all wheelchair bound athletics and not just wheelchair bodybuilders! www.WheelchairAthletics.org

Dedicated to his convictions, Nick Scott created and led a Wheelchair Bodybuilding Camp at the Shriners hospital in Chicago; the first ever of its kind. Teens in wheelchairs from around the country spent one week learning about fitness techniques for strength training and proper performance nutrition and introduced to exercise routines. March of 2009, Nick did his first Fitness DVD using The Burn Machine.

Vested in helping others Nick speaks honestly from the heart of his passion combined with expert knowledge and personal experience. Nick blows people away with his vision, ambition and the speed at which he implements his philosophies and ideas. More recently, Nick charted new territory when he teamed up with famed extraordinaire dancer and expert in wheelchair ballroom dancing Aubree Marchione, Nick and Aubree performed live at the 2010 Arnold Sports Festival for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Winning the Atlantic Coast Championship at the 2010 Philadelphia Festival and becoming the #1 Wheelchair Ballroom Dance Couple in the United States. They will represent the USA at the 2010 Paralympics in Germany.

Speaking as an individual with a physical disability Nick Scott shares the message "If I can do it- anyone can achieve their desires to become physically fit.  Take that empowering mentality even further and you can achieve anything you want to in life- if you really want to.  The question is, How bad do you want it and what are you willing to do to make it happen?" For Nick, settling for anything less than his best; giving up- quitting- is not an option- it's simply not a part of the equation.

A spokes model, signed athlete, sponsored athlete and fitness model, Wheelchair Bodybuilding Champion Nick Scott presently dedicates his time and expertise in fitness and bodybuilding to inspire others by helping them to shape not only their bodies, but their thoughts about life and what is possible.
