The Fit Dad Podcast is where I share what actually works for dads who want to get lean, strong, and energised — without turning into a meal-prepping monk or signing up for a life of ice baths and self-loathing.
I’m Kevin, currently 43 (born in 1982), based in Ireland, and currently surviving (just about) with three kids under 4. I’m not coming at this from a rooftop gym in Bali. I’m living the same chaos you are — broken sleep, tantrums at teatime, and trying to finish a workout while someone screams “Daaaddyyy!” from the toilet.
This podcast is for normal blokes who want to feel better in their body, lead their family by example, and still enjoy pizza night.
It’s short, sharp, and brutally honest. No fads. No fluff. Just practical stuff you can actually use — in between naps, nappy changes, and work calls.
You’ll hear:
Simple fat-loss strategies for busy, knackered dads
Workouts you can fit around real life, not instead of it
How to stop starting over, and start building momentum
Why getting fit in your 40s isn’t just possible — it’s essential
And how to get back in shape without turning into an insufferable gym bro
If you're tired of being tired, fed up with the gut, and want to feel proud of the man your kids look up to — this is where we start.
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to get going.
Hit play. Let’s get to work.
