Newtown Athletic Club (NAC) Owner, Jim Worthington, has long been considered a leader in the fitness industry in our area, but now his skills are going to be nationally recognized. Jim was recently named to the Presidents’ Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition (PCSFN).

Jim will be joining some big names in the health and fitness world like Dr. Oz, Lou Ferrigno, Herschel Walker, Mariano Rivera, Bill Belichick and Misty-May Treanor. All were recently appointed to the PCSFN. This honor comes to Jim after 40 years in the fitness industry, as the owner of the NAC, and as the recently elected chairman of the International Health Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA).

The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition was formed more than 50 years ago, and since then, has worked to create and promote programs that allow Americans to adopt healthy lifestyles that stress the importance of regular physical activity and good nutrition. The President’s Council plays a key role in educating Americans and leading outreach and awareness efforts to improve the health and fitness of the American people.

“I am honored to have been appointed to serve on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition and to work with Secretary Alex Azar of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a national strategy to expand participation in youth sports, encourage regular physical activity, and promote good nutrition for all Americans. These initiatives align perfectly with my 40-year career in the fitness industry and my upcoming chairmanship of IHRSA, which begins on July 1,” said Worthington of being selected for this high honor.

This achievement for Mr. Worthington is the culmination of a lifetime of work and dedication to health and fitness for the members of the NAC, the community, the nation and the world. The appointment is a reflection and recognition of what the NAC has done to promote healthy living for 40 years (celebrating its 40th Anniversary) and how, with the support and dedication of the NAC members and the community, its standing in the nation and the world has been validated. As the Chair of IHRSA and now a member of the President’s Council, Jim plans to work harder than ever to create and promote health and wellness for the nation. He is grateful to the members of the NAC and the community for their support throughout this tremendous journey.
