Parenting and Fitness?! These dads have great insight on mixing fatherhood and overall wellness. Real life examples and stories that are down to earth!

Dads for the win!

Love this Pod! I really enjoy that the info applies to the larger population of us that have lives (personal and professional) outside the gym. Other fitness pods give too much advice that isn’t applicable to those with major obligations outside the box. I appreciate the insight into your specific routines and tactics. Thanks! Keep it up!

Great fitness info for “the rest of us”
