She was also the league champion in the 4×1 relay for 3 years in a row and was chosen to run in the prestigious Penn Relays which she competed in during her sophomore and junior years.

In college at the University of Vermont she spent time as a student athletic trainer and taught an exercise class for people with neurological disorders. Since graduating, Nina has interned as a strength and conditioning specialist, at a physical therapy clinic, and participated in the Half Marathon Triple Crown and ran the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon twice.

After working for others in the corporate gym setting, Scott co-founded BodyFit San Diego. Aside from a thorough background in training, and over 16 years of training clients, Scott holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics and has completed an extremely competitive dietetic internship through Iowa State University.
Growing up, Scott was an avid hockey player. He was a member of the 1999 Vermont State Championship team and played in the Atlantic Junior Hockey League. Due to a shoulder injury Scott was unable to play varsity college hockey, so he helped found the University of Vermont club hockey team. In addition to hockey, Scott was also a member of his high school varsity lacrosse and baseball teams.
Since relocating to San Diego, Scott has taken up running and has participated in a variety of races including the Half Marathon Triple Crown, the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon (multiple times), and recently started participating in triathlons. Scott is also the strength and conditioning coach for the UTC figure skating team. He is a member of the American Dietetic Association.
These days, Scott is channeling his love of hockey into watching and training his boys, Austin and Dylan.
