From the Busy Dad Army

In Their Own Words.

Real dads on what 80 minutes a week has done for them.

In January 2021 I quit a 20+ year smoking habit cold turkey and decided I needed to start training. I floundered for months writing my own routines. Then I found the Busy Dad Program — structure and simplicity, presented in a way that's easy to digest. I dove straight in and started seeing palpable results almost immediately.

The Busy Dad program brought discipline, structure, resilience, and a stronger sense of body awareness into my life. It also dramatically improved my push-up capacity and overall work capacity.

Starting the Busy Dad Training Programme and then working directly with Max has been one of, if not the best positive step I've made for myself. It's the antidote to a 'fitness' industry that's so full of noise. The system is time efficient, simple (but not easy) and dare I say enjoyable. If you learn the movements correctly, commit to the plan and put in the work, you will see significant and timely results. Very highly recommended.
