My Story
I'm Ian Worthington, known to many as GymWolfPT.
At 47, with three wonderful kids, my journey has been
anything but ordinary.
For 23 years, I was entrenched in the corporate world,
but my true passion always lay in health, fitness, and sport.
During my corporate career, I climbed the ladder quickly,
achieving success and recognition.
On the surface, everything seemed perfect. However, despite my professional accomplishments, I felt unfulfilled.
The corporate grind didn’t align with my deeper purpose of helping people through fitness.
As I approached 40, I faced a pivotal decision.
With a mortgage and two kids to support, stepping away from a stable, well-paying job wasn't easy.
But the desire to pursue my true calling grew stronger every day.
I had to make a choice: continue on a secure yet unfulfilling path or risk everything to follow my passion.
I chose the latter.
To give you some background:
I grew up in the Lancashire town of Preston, with dreams of being a footballer!
I wasn’t a fan of school, although was fairly decent academically.
My friends all went to work in ‘secure’ jobs - and I followed suit!
Fast forward 23 years - and I finally left my corporate job and started coaching 1-on-1 at a local gym while building my online presence.
The gym had always been my sanctuary, my ‘place’ where I could escape my sometimes depressive thoughts and channel my energy into something positive.
Over time, my reach extended beyond the gym walls.
I now coach people not just in the UK, but around the world – including places like Fiji, India, America, and Saudi Arabia.
At 47 I know that life throws up challenges, isn’t linear and throws up continuous surprises!
When I left my corporate role it was suggested by many that my age would work against me!
In fact - it’s been the opposite!
My age, experience, management skills and ‘life lived’ means I relate to my clients - I know much of what they are facing - and know what works!
My goal is to help you “Transform Your Body, Transform Your Life”
Helping people feel, look and be great is my true calling.
Coaching them to overcome challenges and be the ‘best version of theirselves’ is the juice that keeps me building and growing GymWolfPT.
