PinPoint Fitness

Fantastic experience: Scott is the best trainer I have had the pleasure of working with. He is a stickler for form and make sure you don’t hurt yourself. I have never been consistent in my fitness but I find myself going to every single session excited and ready to go. definitely come here if you need personal training!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Scott Shapiro at pin point fitness close to a year ago, and to say that he’s revolutionized my understanding of fitness and what my body is capable of doing would be a complete understatement! My aim was to add longevity to my life and I’d always heard that weight training was going to be a critical component of one wanting to achieve a long, good quality, life. That was what I said to Scott my very first time at Pin Point Fitness, and he has ensured that every single session, I am consistently putting in the work to realize that goal. Scott has curated the best training machines at his gym, which he takes great care in maintaining. And his knowledge of fitness, in addition to his selection of training equipment, come together seamlessly to ensure that one gets a solid workout in, stretching included, and also that his client is able to push themselves and test their bodies in ways that do not result in injury, but rather under his watchful eye, strengthen the body so that even the most injury prone person, such as myself, has to deal with the issue less and less with every session im in there for. I am stronger, leaner, more confident, and have learned a great deal from Scott - who is always generous in sharing his knowledge - about fitness and nutrition! I highly recommend Pin Point Fitness and invite others to join in on a fitness experience that has genuinely proven to be a game changer for me.

Fantastic experience: There are two things I never thought I'd do in life: 1) write a google review and 2) see a personal trainer but because of Scott and Pinpoint Fitness I'm so glad I did. I've been seeing Scott for just under a year and I've made more progress and learned more about fitness, lifting and nutrition than anything I could have done on my own. He always finds the right balance of helping me push my limits but doing it in a way in which emphasizes proper form and discipline. I grew up playing sports and working out but felt I was not reaching my full potential and Scott has helped me get to that point. I have way more strength and energy than I did even when I was younger and felt like I was in better shape. He will craft a personalized plan for you based on your specific goals not just with lifting or cardio exercises but also extensive knowledge on nutrition which is a huge piece of the puzzle. Overall, I can't recommend Scott and Pinpoint Fitness enough regardless of where you are in your fitness journey or your experience level. If you are wondering whether personal training is for you, it is, and I'm very happy I made the decision to start here.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Pinpoint fitness has exceeded my expectations in every way. First introduced to its owner, Scott, with some gentle weight exercises that I doubted would make any difference, two years on I can report remarkable progress. Since I suffer from neuropathy which was making me increasingly unstable and prone to falls, my weekly work with Scott has increased my strength a hundredfold, all with not a single injury or even discomfort. Steadily but surely, I have felt my legs and upper body become much stronger, counteracting the neuropathy to the point that I can take long sturdy walks and navigate the demands of travel (which I love to do) with confidence.

Fantastic experience: Scott’s knowledge and experience shines in each of his training sessions. I couldn’t be more pleased with his services. He took my training goals seriously and applied his expertise to make sure that I reach my goals, all while improving the state of my past injuries/dysfunctions and preventing future ones. Overall, he’s a great guy to talk to and an even better guy to train with.

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Scott's at Pinpoint for over a decade now. Scott's knowledge and bespoke personal training program has addressed all my old nagging sports injuries ( knees , shoulders, elbows, calves) that prevented me from participating in all the activities I like to do. That was our goal and we accomplished it. A wide array of training equipment and he buys nothing but the best equipment for his clients. If your serious about achieving results, you found your place. Highly recommended !!!

Fantastic experience: I didn’t know what to expect when I started training at PinPoint, but went in with an open mind and willingness to grow, and it’s been amazing to experience the benefits already. I started working out with Scott after recovering from a long-term illness that knocked the wind out of me. My goals were simple: 1) regain strength and 2) develop a routine again. Scott helped me ease back in to working out, develop a better eye on form to avoid injury, and accommodates my schedule so I can come in consistently. 5 weeks in, I feel stronger, more energized, and to my surprise, already more motivated with goals that continue to evolve. Scott is also a very kind, respectful, encouraging person who truly cares about his clients, which makes all the difference after recovering from illness. He’s super knowledgeable about all things nutrition, anatomy, even movies! He is fun to talk to and learn from. I’ve had an awesome experience so far and highly recommend PinPoint.

Fantastic experience: Scott is an amazing trainer. He truly takes the time to understand your goals and mindset. Very knowledgable about how to juggle your lifestyle with the best workout and nutritional regiment. I was a Division I athlete and lost focus of taking care of myself and working out consistently. My original intention was to just go to a trainer and do what I am told. But, this has turned into much more than that where I trust Scott and he does what is best for me and my fitness goals. In the last 5 months I have gotten into what is probably the best shape I have been in the last 15 years. My golf game has definitely improved asa result of it!

Fantastic experience: Scott is a highly experienced and meticulous personal trainer. I appreciate his attention to detail when it comes to strength training. Scott always focuses on making sure exercises are done with proper form for maximum results and most importantly, to avoid injury. Our family enjoys the casual and personal atmosphere of Pinpoint Fitness. I can say after working out with Scott for a full year that I feel stronger in my 40s than I have ever felt in my life. Highly recommend training with Scott!

Fantastic experience: Scott is all about form- to maximize the workout, prevent injury, and get the best results. The gym is meticulously clean and fully stocked with everything you need. Scott is a true professional and you are in good hands with him as your trainer. The experience is worlds above the big, crowded, impersonal gyms in town.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Scott for over 10 years! Scott is a true expert at what he does and I love how much he knows about and focuses on proper technique to maximize results and minimize the risk of injury. Scott’s expertise is a big reason why I knew that when my teenage son decided he wanted to work out, Scott was the best choice. My son has been working out with Scott for almost 6 months and is loving it! Highly recommend Scott as a personal trainer for all ages!!

Fantastic experience: For over ten years, Scott has been keeping me fit, flexible, and strong with careful attention to technique and a stress on injury prevention. The fully-equipped gym allows for endless workout variations.

Fantastic experience: Over the years, I worked with several trainers, and it was when I started working with Scott Shapiro that things really started to click. Most of my issues stemmed from past sports-related injuries and corrective surgeries in my 20’s and 30’s. Now in my mid-60’s, Scott focused on strengthening my core, proper form, flexibility, and the types of movements/exercise needed to target problem areas – not to mention, the importance of healthy nutrition. Scott’s patience, extreme personal fitness knowledge, and understanding of my personal needs/issues were critical to my success. He was able to continually encourage and motivate me (even when I did not feel like it – ultimately, regaining my appreciation for a planned, systematic, workout with proven results. Whether it is training a client or mentoring other trainers, I believe the single greatest characteristic that distinguishes Scott as a leader in the personal training field is his heartfelt and self-evident sense of caring for you, his client. That said, if Scott is willing to take you under his wing, you are in for a life-changing journey – so, do your part and enjoy the ride!

Fantastic experience: Having recently moved to Fairfield, I didn't have any local friends to help me on my quest for a personal fitness trainer. And so I turned to my good old friend Google and chanced upon Scott/Pinpoint (like you are probably doing now). I jumped in with a leap of faith and ain't I glad I did! Scott is everything the other reviewers have mentioned and more - knowledgeable, accommodative, absolute stickler for form, 100% focused during sessions and relatable. The gym is well maintained and has a good variety of machines conducive to varied forms of exercise. I still have a long path ahead to reach my personal fitness goals but I love the mini-challenges Scott throws at me to keep me motivated, not to mention the good natured banter that makes every session interesting!

Fantastic experience: Experienced trainer with a solid and well maintained suite of equipment

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy my experience at PinPoint Fitness. Scott is very attentive to proper form which is so important for me (I have chronic lower back problems). I have gained strength and lost weight - my two goals!

Fantastic experience: Scott has been training me for the past 3 months and I’m overall impressed with the progress I’ve made because of him. He is very patient and honestly wonderful with all the information he’s giving me about conditioning, eating healthy, and building a balanced between fitness and food. Prior to finding Scott, I had no muscles, weak, battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from a blood condition I was born with. I was also at risk for osteoporosis, always out of breath, and in pain because I had no strength for my body to hold itself up. I worked 24/7 from home and constantly sat in a desk for 10-12 hours per day. 1 month & 20 sessions later: I began seeing my strength build up, no sciatic nerve pain, and was consistent with working out. 2 months & ~40 sessions in: I’m seeing my physique change, I started seeing more progression in my muscles, felt my confidence boosting, and breathing easier. I will continue my sessions with Scott because he hit all the criterias and goals that I set for myself. He is observant, motivates you to keep moving forward, constantly fixing my form to avoid injuries I can’t afford to have, and reminds me to breathe so that I don’t pass out. (Lol) Pinpoint fitness is also very clean, has all the equipment you need, and easy parking.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended; Over 10 years training with Scott, he is highly knowledgable and professional, have had great results. Gym is super convenient, clean, private. Great place to de-stress and get a solid workout. Added bonus: Scott is a walking encyclopedia for movies / streaming and always has great suggestions.

Fantastic experience: PinPoint Fitness is top notch! Scott is an incredibly knowledgeable and professional personal trainer. He will work with you to find convenient times to come for sessions and you have this modern clean facility with more equipment than you could ever use all to yourself during private one on one sessions. Scott's years of study and experience in the field are clearly evident from your very first session. He emphasizes and teaches proper form to maximize your results in the gym while making sure you are always safe and avoiding injuries. Scott also is very skilled at helping rehab injuries you have previously suffered by incorporating specific exercise regimens, formal stretching, and educating you about nutrition. Do something positive for yourself and start training with Scott at PinPoint Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Scott is an exceptional and experienced trainer who takes the time to help you learn exercises the right way--safely for your body and for maximum effectiveness.

Fantastic experience: I used to work out at various gyms in the Fairfield area for years. Then I got sick — cancer. It robbed me of my muscle mass and energy. I’m happy to say I’m on the road to recovery & a big part of that is Scott. He’s been so encouraging which I’ve really needed. He keeps me motivated and believing that I can succeed & put muscle back on. And I am — it’s working! Scott is an excellent trainer & works with you, at your pace, but he will push you when you need it. He explains exercises very clearly & I’m convinced he can help ANYone from those who need rebuilding (like me) to those aspiring to go beyond their perceived limits. Really clean, well-equipped gym too. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Scott is an extraordinary personal trainer and fitness coach. His depth of experience and knowledge have brought a wealth of insights and information to my workouts. He has also taken great care to ensure proper form and protection from injury. In the time I’ve been training with Scott I have made significant gains. He’s also an all-around fantastic guy and makes even the most arduous sessions fun. Can’t recommend him enough!!

Fantastic experience: Scott is amazingly skilled and knowledgeable in his work. I have had more than a few sessions and already feel so much stronger. It is a lifestyle. I would not hesitate to reach out to Scott for a 2nd. Susan Kane

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended (and, in fact, I've recommended Pinpoint to several of my friends). Scott really knows his stuff and tailors his training to each individual's goals. (Definitely not a one-size-fits-all approach.) He really cares about his clients and goes the extra mile. He's very flexible with his scheduling. Also, his gym is very well-equipped and clean.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Scott as a last ditch effort to repairing the damage that decades of running had done to my body. To be honest my expectations were fairly low having gotten nowhere with other doctors, chiropractors and trainers. But he listened to what my problems were and used a scientific based approach to help get things turned around. At 55 years old I’m running better than I thought was possible and the pain I was dealing with has been drastically reduced. I'm very fortunate a friend recommended Scott.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Scott! Never considered weight training until a friend recommended it after my third child, and I can't believe how great it has been for me. I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. It has helped my tennis too and just overall feels great. Scott has a a nice private space with a bunch of cardio options. I can watch my favorite shows while I'm working out either before or after my session. This set up and Scott's coaching has helped me fit exercise into my busy life.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough positive things about Pinpoint Fitness. When I first visited Scott I was contemplating joint replacement for a deteriorating knee. After a year of proper and carefully supervised training, I am mostly pain free. I have learned the value of proper form, and the importance of stretching and nutrition to reaching my fitness goals. Scott is incredibly knowledgable about how our bodies work, and the benefits of that knowledge applied to his customized training program cannot be overstated.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Scott for over 5 years. At 65 years old, I am in absolutely the best shape of my life. He has helped me develop more strength and flexibility than I ever could have imagined. His attention to proper form prevents any possibility of injury. For the highest level of personal training, go see Scott Shapiro.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to this gym! It’s clean, quiet and Scott the owner knows his stuff. Scott teaches you how to train in a way that maximizes your workout. He is a stickler on form and doesn’t let you get away with cheating.

Fantastic experience: Scott is phenomenal. If you haven't worked with him, you should give him a call. When it comes to one-on-one training, he tailors all workout programs to your specific health and fitness needs to achieve your goals with safe and effective techniques! My son has Autism and he is able to get on the treadmill. The facility is large, private and very clean. Pinpoint Fitness get an A+ in my book!
