STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING FOR DADS

Get stronger. Improve your fitness. Look like you train.

Training for dads who want more than weight loss. Follow a clear strength and conditioning plan, work hard and make progress you can measure without spending your life in the gym.

  • Get stronger
  • Improve your fitness
  • Build an athletic physique

Look like you train. Perform like it too.

When work and family crowd out training, it is easy to end up doing the odd workout with no sense of progress. You want to lift well, improve your engine and see the effort show in your physique.

Strong Dads gives you training to work towards and nutrition that supports it. Track what you lift, how your fitness improves and how you feel when you run, play sport or keep up with your kids. Your weight can be one measure, without being the only goal.

Two ways to build strength, fitness and a physique that shows it.

Both options put strength and conditioning first. Strong Dads 90 brings dads together for a 12-week intake on the same training plan, with group calls and bookable check-ins. Project Unstoppable is built around you, with weekly check-ins and more direct access to Sam.

“I’ve put on 4kg and feel a lot stronger and fitter.”

“I’ve also managed to go from strength to strength both in power output and sustained lifting ability lifting heavier for more reps and longer.”

Built by a dad who coaches and trains this way.

I’m Sam Rathbone, a strength and conditioning coach, gym head coach and dad of two. I have coached people since 2014, with experience across personal training, rugby and athletics.

I built Strong Dads for men who want their effort in the gym to show up in their strength, fitness and physique. Training challenges you physically and gives you goals to work towards; nutrition supports that work and your recovery. The aim is to feel capable for whatever comes next.
