Scott Wescombe: The Story Behind Best Body Australia

In the latest episode of the Nathan Ross Reformer Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Scott Wescombe, CEO and Co-Founder of Best Body Australia, in Perth.

Scott’s story is one of personal transformation, health, entrepreneurship and resilience. Growing up in Tasmania, he describes himself as relatively unhealthy during his high school years, but becoming immersed in the football community helped transform his habits, health and confidence. Scott moved to Perth with an opportunity to pursue Australian Rules football and went on to study physiotherapy.

A deeply personal experience following the loss of his nan shaped his philosophy around healthcare. He began questioning an industry approach that he felt often focused on managing symptoms rather than understanding the whole person, their lifestyle and the factors influencing their health.

That experience inspired Scott to create a physiotherapy practice centred around understanding the individual and helping people make meaningful improvements to their health and physical capacity. His purpose was to provide the standard of care he wished his nan had received.

Scott noticed that while people could make significant improvements through one-on-one Reformer-based training, many struggled to maintain those results once their sessions had stopped. This ultimately led to the creation of the first ever group Reformer studio in Western Australia.

What followed was an extraordinary period of expansion, including opening 14 studios in 14 months, then the shock of adapting to the COVID lockdowns which changed everything overnight.

Today, Scott has redesigned his life to place greater emphasis on family time.

What I enjoyed most about our conversation was Scott’s understated approach. He is ambitious but humble, openly sharing the challenges, triumphs and lessons that have shaped his journey.

This is an episode for anyone interested in Reformer, health, entrepreneurship, business growth and personal transformation.
