Scotty Olson, Professional Chef | Certified Spinning and Fitball™ Instructor. A classically trained chef, Scotty has cooked for the rich and famous around the world, catered large charity events, and served as a consultant to restaurants and vineyards.
After moving back to his hometown of Longmont, Colorado, he visited his cardiologist, Dr. Jamie Doucet. A routine checkup showed that Scotty was in the early stages of heart disease. This inspired him to radically change his exercise habits. He started working out with a personal trainer and became a certified spinning and Fitball instructor. Scotty is now an avid cyclist, outdoorsman, and recreational sport enthusiast.
But what about eating in a more healthful way? Scotty teamed up with registered dietitian, Lisa High, and worked on changing his eating habits. Combining her knowledge of nutrition with his French culinary training and experience, Scotty started to cook up healthy but delicious meals for himself and friends.
This was easy to do – after all he’s a professional chef. But what about his spinning and Fitball clients? Busy with their careers and families, they had no time to shop or cook, and were sabotaging their workouts by picking up fast food on their way home from the gym. After adopting a healthy lifestyle, Scotty wanted to help others do the same. “Eating healthy doesn’t mean eating boring, tasteless meals,” he says. “You can meet your weight loss goals and still eat delicious and satisfying meals.”
Thus Scotty’s Fitness Food was born. Fitness Food’s mission is to help Americans change the way they eat by offering healthy, affordable, and delicious take-away meals.
