Mike Scott
Born Feb 26, 1941
Died Feb 8, 2017
“Iron Mike” as he was known, owned and managed The Power Pit in Pearl City, Hawaii from 1977 to 1995. I met Mike in February of 1977. He was my friend for 40 years. He was an Olympic Lifter, Bodybuilder, and Powerlifter. Mike and Gary Watanabe were the co-owners of the Power Pit. The first Power Pit reunion was held at the main street station in Las Vegas on October 8, 2016. That was the last time I saw “Iron Mike”. He was a few days shy of 76. He looked like he was 50. He never seemed to age. I trained at the Power Pit from 1979 to 1986. Mike was one of the best trainers I ever saw. He trained many high caliber lifters that went on to win National tournaments on the mainland. He also trained bodybuilders. He trained with weights from 1958 until the day he died. His wife Kristi said he had a fit bit on when she found him and he had done 102 minutes of Cardio and weights the day he died.
