Who this is for

Sound familiar?

You used to be fit. You had it together. Then life got busier, the kids arrived, work got heavier — and your fitness slowly stopped being a priority. You're not lazy. You're not broken. You just haven't had a system that actually fits around your real life.

My Story

I've been where you are.

I'm Simon — dad of two, veteran, Senior Project Manager and founder of The Hybrid Dad Project.

At my heaviest I was 97kg. Tired, avoiding mirrors, short with the kids. There was no rock bottom moment — just a slow, uncomfortable realisation that I'd settled for average. And that didn't sit right. Not as a man. Not as a dad.

So I rebuilt. Lost 23kg. Completed a 107km ultramarathon. Finished HYROX London. Ran a 1:42 half marathon. All while working full time and raising two daughters.

That process became The Hybrid Dad Project. Because every week I see dads feeling exactly like I felt — surrounded by fitness advice that has nothing to do with their real life. There is a better way.

I know what it feels like to be fit, then lose it. Not through laziness — through life. Full time job. Two kids. Every Monday a fresh start that doesn't make it past Thursday.

I went from 97kg, exhausted and avoiding mirrors to completing a 107km ultramarathon, finishing HYROX London, running a 1:42 half marathon — all while working full time and raising two daughters. I train at 4:30am because that's the margin I've got. And I built a system around that reality.

That system is what I coach. Not a 90-day programme. Not a before and after. A permanent shift in how you train, eat and show up — built around your actual life, not some version of it with more time and fewer responsibilities.

This is for the dad who was fit before and knows he can get back there. The dad who doesn't need motivation — he needs a plan that doesn't collapse the first time the week goes sideways. The dad who wants to be strong enough to lift, fit enough to run, and present enough to lead.

If that's you, I'd like to have a conversation. No script. No pressure. Just an honest chat about where you're at and whether coaching is the right next step. If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you that too.
