Relentlessly show up and have fun.

Dadbod → Dadscaped.

Nobody's yard gets landscaped without doing the landscaping. Get in the reps. Stay visible.

Consistency isn't the target.
It's the result.

I help do-it-all dads show up for themselves, lose fat & get jacked in just 20 minutes a day.

A coach can build you a great plan, help you get out of your own way, and create an environment where it's harder to hide... but you own the outcome so accountability still has to come from you. Nobody can give you that, just like nobody can manufacture motivation for you. What I can do is help you build both by starting with the habits you're already winning at, giving you a place to do the work, a plan you can actually follow, and a community of people that see you. What you do every day results in consistency, and that consistency gives you more proof that you're capable of doing it again tomorrow.

You've got this. And I'll be right there doing it with you.

Where should you start?

You've got enough on your plate. Let's find the support that helps you make room for yourself.

After six questions I'll point you in the right direction, and send you my dadbod exit plan free just to prove I'm not full of shit.

Who is this for?

You're already winning in some places because you're consistent at things with a consequence attached. Somebody's paying you, somebody's waiting on you, somebody notices when you don't show up. When nobody notices you skipped the workout, hit snooze, or ate like shit, there's no immediate consequence... so you keep procrastinating.

You never failed at being consistent. You failed at holding standards.

And if you want a plan built around you, with me helping you adjust it as life happens, we can work together one on one. Book twenty minutes and we'll talk about it.

I was never really a gym guy. I played a few sports growing up and was an active kid, but I barely touched a weight most of my life. As I got older, life just filled up. Career, marriage, kids, the house, the yard, the garage... I became the dad who could handle just about anything. I could fix something instead of hiring someone, solve problems at work, provide for my family and build the kind of life I didn’t have growing up. I was proud of that. But somewhere in the middle of taking care of everything and everybody else, I stopped taking care of myself. Everything looked pretty damn good from the outside, but I was physically drained, mentally exhausted and getting more comfortable with a version of myself I didn’t really want to be.

It wasn’t like I never tried to change. Over probably 15 years I bought gym memberships, tried P90X, keto, carnivore and different meal plans I found online. I’d go hard for a while, life would happen, and I’d quit. Keto actually helped me lose about 15 pounds once... and I gained it all back within a couple months. The moment that finally hit me differently happened about two years ago. I came home from work and my kids were outside playing football. They asked me to come play and I told them I’d had a long day and was tired, so I went inside and watched TV. Later they came in laughing and said, “Dad, you need to come out with us more. It’s so much fun.” They weren’t trying to make me feel bad, but man... I felt like shit. They had everything they needed out there. The football, the driveway, each other. What they wanted was me, and I was too tired to give them that.

So this time I stopped trying to completely overhaul my life. I slowed everything down and changed one small thing at a time. I simplified my food. I bought some shitty dumbbells off Facebook and started working out in my garage for about 20 minutes, five days a week. That was it. I wasn’t chasing some giant transformation or trying to become the most disciplined guy alive. I was just stacking small wins. Two pounds came off. Then another two. The workouts got a little better. My food got a little better. Little by little, a little became a lot. I locked in for six months and lost 65 pounds. But the part I didn’t expect was what happened around me. My wife started working out and eating better. My kids wanted to exercise and run with me. We started doing some of it together. I became more present, more confident and more intentional with my time. Funny enough, focusing more on myself ended up making me better for everyone else.

I’ve spent the last 20 years leading, training and coaching people professionally, and eventually I realized the same things that helped me succeed there were what changed my life here too... accountability, simple standards, small wins and actually leading by example. I started helping other dads and saw them lose weight, build better habits and even start seeing their own families buy in. That’s when this became bigger than fitness for me. My mission is to help do-it-all dads who have gotten really good at taking care of everyone else start showing up for themselves again... get fit, build habits that actually stick, and become the kind of husband, dad and man their family wants to follow.

From our members.

“I’m more committed and more disciplined as a person, husband and dad.”

Before DADSCAPED, I wasn’t very consistent with my disciplines. I didn’t want to wake up early and honestly just wasn’t feeling great about life and being a dad. Since then, it’s been super cool to grow and become more committed and more disciplined. I recently ran 5½ miles to meet my family at the farmers market... then ran back home. I just want to be the best dad and the best version of myself I can be, and be there for my family when they need me most.

Rob K.

“Down 15 pounds. Less screen time. More active.”

I joined DADSCAPED because I saw what Mike did and his improvements, and I wanted to see that in myself. I was getting fat... again... after losing all the weight. I wasn’t present at home like I should’ve been, and I wanted to be better. Since then, I’m down 15 pounds, I have less screen time on my phone, and I’m more active. My goal every day is to keep moving until 8 and get everything done that I can.

Jeff B.

“I had 16 straight days of pushing further than I normally do.”

I’m extraordinarily busy, so I can’t be a part of everything I’d like to be. DADSCAPED for me is a cut above. Since joining, I’ve had 16 straight days of not just walking and exercising, but pushing further than I normally do and trying to get to that next level. It all kind of starts with Mike and his daily check-ins. I kind of feel obligated now and in a groove to keep going.

Jake N.

“I’m spending a ton more time with the kids because I have more energy.”

I was tired all the time and my diet was terrible. What’s actually been working differently for me now is the routine of things. I get up every morning, drink my water, and have my meals prepped for the whole week. I hardly eat out at all anymore. Just doing those little things one thing at a time has started carrying over into other parts of life too. My wife has started doing some of those little things, we’re both benefiting from it, and I’m spending a ton more time with the kids because I have more energy. I’m down 20 pounds from 235. This is for my family and the kids mainly. I want to be more present and be around as long as I can.

Their words. Not mine.

What you get, and what happens

The thing you're actually worried about isn't money. It's spending it on something that won't work. So here's exactly how it goes.

You are who you choose to be.

Not who you decide to be. Who you're seen being, five days a week, by the people in your house. These are the five.

Your morningsGet up. Don't chase it.
Your bodyMove your ass.
Your inputsCreate... don't consume.
Your houseHandle it. Don't step over it.
Your familyGo first.

Hold those and you stop being the guy who's going to get to it. You become the guy who already did.

Personal coaching, one on one

The DADSCAPED Method with me directly

Six months of working together on your training, your food, and making it fit your life. I build your plan, review your check-ins with video feedback, adjust what needs adjusting, and meet with you on a live call every month. You can message me between check-ins, too.

You don't have to prove you can do it alone before you get individual help. If your schedule, your starting point, or the places you keep getting stuck need more attention, that's what we work on together.

Let's talk it over for 20 minutes. We'll go through what you're working toward, what's getting in the way, and whether working together makes sense.

Show up and use the support. The group is month to month, and you can cancel any month you want.

Q&A

So is this coaching or not?

The DADSCAPED Method is the approach. Group coaching gives you the workouts, nutrition tools, weekly coaching, and a community for $49 a month. One on one adds a plan built around you and individual feedback. The right fit depends on the support you need.

Forty nine a month? What's the catch?

There isn't one, and I'd be suspicious too. It's one price, month to month, and you can leave any time you want. Nothing to commit to up front before you know whether you'll actually use it.

I've failed at this a dozen times. Why would this be different?

So had I, about a dozen times, and every one of those happened with nobody watching. Mine included. That's the one thing that's different in here.

What if I lose it and put it back on like last time?

I'm two years out, still 65 down, still posting every day. The day I stop is the day it stops working. There isn't a countdown to going back to your old habits. The standards keep running and the group's still there.

What if I'm not motivated?

Good, because most days I'm not either. Twenty minutes a day is short enough to do while actively not wanting to.

Do I need a gym? What do I need to buy?

No gym. Bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells, at home. Nothing to start, and eventually a used set of dumbbells or kettlebells off whoever's selling them near you. That's what I did and still do.

How much time is this?

The beginner plan uses five workouts a week, about twenty minutes each, plus a short core finisher. Rest days fit around your schedule and recovery. With one-on-one coaching, we can adjust the schedule and training to fit you.

What am I eating? Do I have to give up food I like?

A lot of the same stuff, with variety coming from seasonings and sugar free sauces instead of new recipes. No crash diet, light macro tracking. I prep in 20 minutes every Sunday.

I've got a bad shoulder. Or knee. Or back.

We work around it. Everything's built for a beginner, so if something hurts you swap it. The plan bends, the standard doesn't.

I already train. Is this too easy?

It's built so a guy who's never lifted can start today, and it'll still wreck you if you push hard enough. Nobody's holding you back but you. Efficient, simple... but never easy.

Do I have to book a call? What happens on it?

Not for the group. Start for $49 and get to work. The call is for dads who want to explore working with me one on one. We go through what you're doing, what's working, where you're stuck, and whether I can actually help. If the answer is no, I'll tell you.

Still deciding?

Then it isn't your week yet, and that's fine. It took me fifteen years. Leave your email and I'll send you my dadbod exit plan. Go run it on your own.
