About Me
My name is Payson Staats and my inspiration for health and fitness comes from afternoons spent lifting weights with my dad in our dusty old garage. Between those workouts and wrestling for 6 years, a passion was ignited in me to develop and maintain healthy habits that would carry me through the rest of my life. My personal training journey began soon after, as various friends asked to work out with me in that same old garage and the drive to help others develop similar healthy habits was born.
After completing two years of missionary work in Lima, Peru, I realized that I wanted to expand how I was able to impact the well-being of those around me. While working on my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at Arizona State University, I found the opportunity to do so as a technician at Spooner Scottsdale. Since June of 2022, I have had the chance to work with a wide variety of therapists and with an even wider variety of patients. Seeing people progress and accomplish their goals fills me with immense satisfaction. While operating as the lead technician in Scottsdale, I was able to work with collegiate athletes, children, individuals with Parkinson’s, non-hearing individuals, and everything in between. Now I have the opportunity to take what I have learned and work with the Scottsdale community as a FIT Trainer. I am thrilled to apply all of the skills and experiences I have gained so far to improve the well-being and longevity of all my clients.
When I am not working, I enjoy playing board games, exercising, creating art, and having conversations in Spanish. Go Bills!
