Profile
Jay Worthy’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and redefining what high performance really means.
From personal trainer to CEO of billion-dollar global brand Life Fitness, Jay climbed to the very top of international business. But after leading the company through a major private equity transition, he hit burnout and depression.
His recovery didn’t come through medication or more relentless drive. It came through nature.
Today, with a Masters in Nature Connection, an MSc in Human Performance Physiology, and lived experience of leadership under pressure, Jay blends boardroom wisdom with evidence-based research to show leaders, teams, and athletes how reconnecting with the natural world restores performance, resilience, and well-being.
Dynamic, open, and deeply human, Jay speaks with authority and relatability on how to unlock growth, lead through adversity, and use nature connection as a proven, powerful antidote to burnout.
