Jake Dearden is a rising force in the world of elite fitness and performance. Known for his unwavering discipline and honest approach to personal development, Jake has made his mark as both a top-tier Elite 15 HYROX Athlete and an inspiring voice in the health and wellness community. His ability to balance high performance with authenticity across his social media platforms makes him a standout speaker for organisations, schools, and teams looking to instil motivation that lasts.
Beginning his athletic journey as an ultramarathon runner, Jake completed his first major race at just 19. He quickly developed a reputation for mental toughness, tackling extreme challenges such as running seven marathons in seven days, then pushing even further with ten marathons in just five. After being introduced to HYROX by friends, he embraced the sport wholeheartedly and rapidly climbed to the top, eventually winning the Men’s World Doubles title and qualifying for the Elite 15 World Championships, a field reserved for the best HYROX athletes across the globe.
Yet his influence extends far beyond the competition floor. He has built a dedicated online community of over 600,000 followers on Instagram and more than 70,000 on TikTok, where he shares behind-the-scenes training, mindset strategies, and daily habits. His work has caught the attention of major fitness brands, leading to partnerships with Puma, Whoop, Represent, and others. Jake has also appeared on popular podcasts such as Whoop, Oliver Marchon and Untapped, and was featured in a cover interview for Men’s Health magazine, all of which reflect his growing reputation as both an athlete and a thought leader.
What makes Jake such an impactful motivational speaker is not just what he has achieved, but how openly he shares the journey. His talks emphasise the value of perseverance, the need for a clear strategy, and the importance of mindset in achieving high performance. Currently training to run a 2:19 marathon while running a successful fitness business, Jake brings real-world experience and actionable insights to every stage he steps on.
