Jay Barnett joined Inside Fitness 360 as a sought after youth leadership and mental well-being mentor. After his time in the NFL, Jay has made it his mission to lead and guide today's youth through group programs and curriculum while providing encouragement, tools, resources and the support needed to begin the journey of evolving into the young men and women they desire to be.
With over 10 years of highly skilled and acclaimed mentoring and success stories, public speaking, business experience and most importantly, real-life, his view is radically different. Jay appreciates and shares with his mentees that leadership is a moment to moment choice and not about title and position. Leadership is for everyone - it's a choice and it's how we should live our lives.
Also, as a leader in the community, Jay serves as the senior consultant and Master Teen Mentor with his Sugarland, Texas based organizations: The Me Project and The We Project which serves at risk teens, ages 13-18. Working with Jay, teens developed self-esteem, self-worth, value for their bodies and strong mindsets.

Inside Fitness Truths
At Inside Fitness, we believe that internal wellness is of paramount importance and that it is the driving force behind the quality of our external lives. Having a healthy emotional balance is reflected by an external life that is well balanced which often yields love, joy, peace and a healthy self-image.
Just like we work on our bodies by eating a healthy diet and exercising frequently, it is important to adapt the same approach towards our internal wellness. Unresolved emotional pain makes it difficult to obtain and maintain a clear perspective on life or to engage in long term, meaningful relationships.
Inside Fitness uses an eclectic therapeutic approach which is person centered because we believe in unconditional love and providing a safe, judgement free place for individuals to open up and confront the challenges that are holding them back from being their authentic selves. In addition to many other modalities, we also utilize a Cognitive Behavioral approach because we believe that unhealthy behaviors are the keys that lead us to the root of our emotional challenges which are manifesting themselves as behavioral issues.
1) We are all special and unique individuals
Being unique makes us special and proves that each human being is a gift to the world. We shouldn’t define our worth and value based on life’s experiences or monetary worth. Without you, the world is missing a rare & unique gift.
2) We all are worthy to receive unconditional love
Unconditional Love is not earned, nor should it be based on zip codes, race, financial standing or other human existing prerequisites. Because you are human, you deserve to be loved. We are all worthy to receive love just because we are here on this earth.
3) We are all on a journey to becoming our authentic selves
The term " Authentic Self" refers to who we truly are at the soul level. Life’s experiences, positive or negative are a part of the process which we all go through in order to unveil our authentic self. Living as our authentic self attracts happiness, love, joy, peace and we attain the connection we desire with ourselves and others.
4) We possess internal strength
We are equipped with the resilience and the strength we need to walk through life.No matter how difficult life becomes, we should not be intimidated and succumb to fear. Life is rigged in our favor!!
