Dadfit in Action

Check out the action from one of our Dad Teams in Melbourne's west.

What dads (and mums) love

"Dadfit has been one of the best experiences of my life"

Chris, dad of two


"Adding small steps each week to being a better dad"

Uddika, dad of one


"Hearing other dads are going through the same struggles, I feel less isolated"

Anton, dad of one


"Dadfit has had a big effect on my partner. He became more conscious, empathetic, and responsive to the needs of our family."

Nikki, mum of two

Why we do it

Being a dad is awesome, but it's also hard work.


It's so much better when you have a team of dads to share the ups and downs with.


We want every dad to be supported to be at their best.


Because when dads thrive, entire families and communities benefit.

4.9 out of 5 Average Rating

Over 500 dads have completed the free five-week Dadfit program. 98% said they would recommend the program to a friend. 


Many continue to catch up in their local Dad Teams.


Drummond Street Services independently evaluated Dadfit, finding significant improvements in dads’ mental and physical health, self-confidence as a parent, and community connection.

About Ryan, Founder of Dadfit

I'm a Melbourne dad of three.


I used to be a pro cricket player, but these days I know more about daily pitch conditions at the local playground than the MCG.


I love being a dad, but it's also the most challenging thing I've ever done. As a younger dad, I used to feel like I was working it out on my own. 


That's why I'm excited about Dadfit. If you are too, join the team and be part of our growing community of 500+ dads.
