My name is Brandon Swan and I’m a 5 x CrossFit Games athlete, a firefighter, and most importantly, a very proud dad and husband.
As a busy parent, I have had to find ways to train smarter, not longer, often before the sun came up or long after everyone else was getting ready to go to bed, because that was the only time I had. Those hours affectionately became known as my Dad Hours.
Whilst there are numerous programs out there for competitive athletes, there aren’t too many with the ultra-busy person in mind.
What I found over the past couple of years is that you don’t need all that time, nor do you even need tremendous amounts of equipment. Some of my toughest and most rewarding sessions have been done with nothing but a few bodyweight exercises and a pair of dumbbells.
This is why Dad Hours was born. I have discovered through trial and error how to get the very best out of myself on a limited schedule and at times, with limited equipment, and now I want to show you how you can do the same.
Training should be time effective
We believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice your valuable time to improve your fitness. Your experience with Dad Hours will include short, sharp and effective workouts carefully designed so you can get to doing other things you love.
Embrace flexibility
Our programming is flexible so you can be too. We offer lots of variety and don't tell you which tracks to follow or when to train. Our philosophy centers around embracing discomfort, be willing to be flexible and go with the flow. If you have to train when injured, tired, on shift or with children, we've got you!
Be supportive of others
Although we are confident in our expertise, we are always looking to support and learn from our members. We always seek ways to improve and grow and we try to find ways we can go above and beyond. We value our members being supportive of each other. Be a role model for the little versions of yourself, the people around you and the community you join.
Get after it so you can show up for others
Every person is unique and we are here to help you on your fitness journey and help you reach your goals. Our motto is "Get After It". We believe that showing up and putting your health first helps you be a better version of yourself for others.
