The Wednesday Word: Scott Herman

“I believe that a man is only as good as the people he surrounds himself with” is Scott Herman’s personal credo. An accomplished fitness expert, instructor, model and entrepreneur, Scott Herman constantly finds himself surrounded by not only success but new opportunities.

At the young age of fourteen, Scott applied for his first job at Gold's Gym in Methuen, Massachusetts. By the age of fifteen he was performing gym maintenance, running the front desk, and selling memberships. When Gold's Gym was relocated to a new 65,000 sq. ft. facility, Scott was promoted to a manager's position. At eighteen he became a personal trainer and has been training men and women from the ages of twelve to eighty-three ever since.

Before moving to Brooklyn to appear on The Real World, Scott not only managed the fitness department and sales department for "Answer Is Fitness" located in North Attleboro, MA, but he also developed and ran a highly successful DJ company called "Galaxy DJ's".



Scott's acting/modeling career really started to take off his senior year of college after he entered and won the Men's Health "Iron Abs" contest in November 2007. He then began making a series of personal appearances and began traveling to New York City for castings and other events, and the more he became acquainted with the city, the more his interest in becoming a professional actor grew. In December 2007, Scott sent his audition tape into The Real World: Brooklyn and was selected from a pool of approximately 50,000 to 70,000 applicants. He moved into the Real World house six months later and, now that filming is over, has decided to stay in Manhattan. He is excited to continue taking acting classes, go on auditions, and pursue his new career. Right in the middle of all that, Mr. Herman is coming down to New York City to participate in POZ’s Love Out Loud for AIDS Walk New York on May 12th. Scott will be on hand to greet his many well-deserved fans. They will find the real deal. Be sure to visit Scott on YouTube and his official site.
