Scott Silverman

Founder & Owner, Soma Grove

Scott Silverman is the Founder and Owner of Soma Grove, a cutting-edge wellness studio in Woodstock, New York, dedicated to blending modern recovery technologies with the natural serenity of the Hudson Valley. After years navigating high-stakes operations in luxury fitness and scaling startups, Scott launched Soma Grove in January 2025 to address a personal gap in accessible, integrated wellness. Having relied on cryotherapy and infrared saunas for over a decade to maintain peak physical condition amid demanding roles, he experienced firsthand the frustration of fragmented routines post-relocation from urban centers like New York City and Los Angeles. [Inside+Out Upstate NY](https://insideandoutupstateny.com/your-guide-to-soma-grove-woodstocks-state-of-the-art-wellness-center/). His 'aha' moment came realizing self-care shouldn't require driving hours for disparate services—sparking a space uniting whole-body cryotherapy, infrared saunas, boutique fitness, and mindful recovery to foster longevity, resilience, and community. Originally from outside Boston, Scott's path led through Equinox in NYC, where he managed a luxury club with 120+ staff, 5,000 members, and 1,500 daily visits (2013-2016), honing expertise in member experience and operations. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-silverman-92b28312). He advanced at Flywheel Sports launching at-home products (2017), then at Zeus Living as General Manager, Director of Customer Operations, and VP of Customer Support & Trust & Safety (2018-2024), driving fraud reduction, identity verification, and marketplace growth. This operational prowess now powers Soma Grove's evidence-based approach at 35 Mill Hill Road, Woodstock—reservation-based with walk-ins, packages for consistency, and partnerships like Woodstock Infusions. Scott's philosophy: science meets soul. A devoted family man with a young son, he embodies discipline via his 4 a.m. ritual: workout, sauna, cryotherapy, prepping for loved ones—ensuring presence and minimized stress. [Soma Grove site](https://www.soma-grove.com). As podcast guest on fitness and routines, he champions avoiding snooze buttons, stacking habits, and elevating through cold/heat therapy for inflammation reduction and endorphin boosts. His venture redefines Hudson Valley wellness, inviting all to 'chill, sweat, connect' for better living.
