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.
