The Longevity Shift: How Recovery Is Redefining the Fitness Industry with Jason Stella
Maximizing Wellness: Integrating Recovery and Longevity Strategies in Fitness Clubs
In this episode of WELL RUN. Podcast, Annie Adragna sits down with Jason Stella, a longtime leader in the health, fitness, and recovery space with nearly three decades of experience guiding people and organizations toward better performance and longevity.
Now serving as Chief Innovation and Growth Officer for Forward-Thinking Advisory Group, Jason shares what true recovery looks like and why it’s becoming the cornerstone of modern fitness and wellness. Together, they unpack the three dimensions of recovery—physical, psychological, and physiological—and how clubs can move beyond buzzwords to create systems that actually improve outcomes.
The conversation covers practical ways to integrate cold plunges, red light therapy, and other advanced wellness technologies into health clubs, while avoiding the industry’s biggest trap: buying gear without strategy or education. Jason and Annie explore what separates successful integration from wasted investment, and why healthspan—not just lifespan—is the new goal for members and operators alike.
Key Topics Covered:
- Defining recovery and what it isn’t
- Physical, psychological, and physiological dimensions of recovery
- How to design a recovery culture, not just a recovery room
- Common mistakes clubs make when investing in wellness tech
- Real-world results from tools like ArcLED and cold plunge systems
- Why focusing on healthspan is the future of fitness
