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.

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.
