Myzone appoints Jason Worthy as CEO

Fitness tech firm Myzone has appointed health club industry veteran Jason Worthy as Group CEO with immediate effect. Worthy began his new role with Myzone on 10 April.

Worthy, who has held several global leadership roles in the fitness sector, has been tasked with steering Myzone through its next period of international growth.

In the short-term, Myzone will remain focused on developing MZ-Open, its ecosystem access for club members via Apple and Android smartwatches. The longer-term plan is for the Myzone leadership team, led by Worthy, to expand the brand’s worldwide reach.

During his career, Worthy has worked for both health club operators and fitness equipment companies, including a stint at LA Fitness and as head of sales at Technogym. He moved to Fitness First in 2011 to become head of operations, in time for the launch of Fitness First’s budget concept, Klick Fitness.

In April 2012 he joined Life Fitness as GM for EMEA, being promotedto MD of the UK business in May 2013. In May 2016 he was made MD of Cybex International, supporting the integration of Cybex with the Brunswick Corporation’s family of brands, following its US$195m (€179m, £138m) acquisition at the start of that year.

That was then followed by Worthy being named president of Life Fitness in 2018, ahead of a move within Brunswick in July 2019, first as VP International of its Boating Services division, before taking on the role of CEO at Dallaglio RugbyWorks in March 2020.
