Through online fitness and nutrition coaching, I help dads lose 20 to 50 pounds with a plan that fits their life, so they can finally stop feeling like they’re starting over every Monday.
Why Most Dads Struggle to Stay Consistent
You’re disciplined. You’re dependable. People count on you.
That’s why it’s so frustrating that your health is the one thing you can’t seem to figure out.
Most fitness programs were never built for someone with your life.
They expect you to spend hours in the gym, follow complicated meal plans, and give up the foods you enjoy.
So after a few weeks, the plan falls apart.
Not because you lack discipline.
Because the plan doesn’t fit your life.
A Simpler Way for Busy Dads to Get in Shape
You don’t need to give up pizza night.
You don’t need to spend hours in the gym.
And you definitely don’t need another complicated plan that falls apart the first time life gets busy.
You need a system that’s built around your life instead of expecting you to build your life around it.
That’s exactly what the Fatherhood Fit Method is designed to do.
How We Build Your Plan
Schedule Your Free Assessment -We’ll identify exactly why you’ve been stuck, what’s getting in your way, and what needs to change.

You Have Two Paths From Here

Or…
You can build a plan that fits your life, so you never feel like you’re back at square one again.
Imagine having the confidence that no matter how busy life gets, you know exactly what to do.
“I had a great experience working with Anthony. He was consistently helpful and informative, and the workouts he gave me were always tailored to my needs. Whenever we talked, he responded to my questions with positive, encouraging answers and always gave me great feedback. He was very motivational and pushed me to do my best. I’d love to work with him again!”
– Nicolas Lanphere
“Anthony helps take the mystery and guess work out of losing weight. The exercises are easy to understand and can be done with what you have available. He takes time to explain the new habits and concepts while also being quick to reply to questions or concerns. His help in the 12 week program has helped set me up to continue a healthy lifestyle on my own.”
– Casey Kiister
“Had a great experience learning about nutrition and exercise. It was a new experience with it being remote but overall a good one. I had success using the program and benefitted from the accountability Anthony helped with. The apps were easy to navigate and he was always there to help with a question and follow up along the way.”
– Court White
“Anthony is an amazing trainer who helps motivate you. I was uncomfortable to work out in the gym alone because I was unsure of what I was doing. He definitely helped changed that and took his time to educate and ensure I was exercising correctly. This trainer is thoughtful, caring, and really cares about delivering results!”
– Adam Johnson
“Amazing trainer! Specifically for dads who sometimes have a hard time keeping and staying motivated. Anthony’s approach to getting and staying in shape is guilt free and science based. His weekly check ins and coaching sessions help you stay on track to reach your goals. Just an all around great guy too!!”
– Dustin Peterson
“I was in Anthony’s 12 week program. I was a little sceptical at first and didn’t think I would lose any weight. With the tools that he gave me, I was able to lose 25 pounds through exercise and sensible dieting. It is a lifestyle change that I feel is sustainable and that I can continue even after my program was done. Thanks Anthony for making me a healthier person! I don’t think I could have done it without your help.”
– Steve Micarelli
“Anthony was a HUGE help in empowering me to take control of my health and well-being. He provided great practical steps to take that really helped me and get organized and have the right mindset amid the busy lifestyle fatherhood brings. Definitely recommend Anthony to any fellow dad looking to kickoff their journey to a healthier lifestyle for them and their family!”
– Matthew Herrick
“I had a great experience with Anthony. He helped me focus on thinking about health and fitness as a part of a lifestyle rather focusing just on losing weight or gaining muscle, etc. We focused on things like eating mindfully, tracking food, and fitting in workouts when I could in my busy lifestyle.”
– Christopher Tuft
“Anthony “gets” the busy Dad experience and will help you focus on what’s important and get you into shape. I’ve learned a lot and am able to target areas of my life that need attention. Great job!”
– Jason Trigg
“Anthony is a genuine guy who truly cares about his clients. He kept it real with me through the entire process, helped tailor my workouts to my needs and capabilities, and his communication is second to none. I’ve never had a trainer go out of their way to make sure they were accessible like he was. His guidance, knowledge and accountability were key in helping me lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks. He understands what it’s like to be a busy dad and make fitness a realistic and achievable lifestyle.”
– Matt Sharp
“Anthony is a top-notch coach and motivator. He taught me so much about nutrition, eating properly, fitness, and being in control of your choices. He helped me lose 40 pounds and have kept it off. Thank you for your support, guidance and friendship.”
– Jason Hendry
“Anthony does a phenomenal job working remotely to help you stay on track with your goals. I live a few states away and he was willing to take me on as a nutrition client. I’ve always struggled with my weight and couldn’t figure out how to maintain, let alone, find better resolutions. Anthony made this extremely easy for me. Through weekly check ins, practice certain habits, and always being held accountable, I was able to find a consistent weight and keep it there while working on each habit. Highly Recommend A-Pluff Training!”
– Allen Knappenberger
“Had a great experience with Anthony having him as a trainer. He gave me alot of good tips and helped me lose 12 lbs in the first 3 months of my journey. I highly recommend him for anyone’s journey whether they are looking to lose weight or they already started the journey he will be able to help.”
–Roque Rivera
“Anthony is a fantastic coach! He does great tailoring his coaching to dad’s in general and goes the extra mile to further refine his coaching for each individual’s situation. To top things off, he’s also very encouraging and easy to talk to.”
–Jeffrey Utter
About Anthony
Six months after I got married, I was in the worst shape of my life.
It wasn’t because I didn’t care about my health. And it definitely wasn’t because I lacked discipline.
I was simply trying to follow fitness plans that didn’t fit my life anymore.
As work got busier and our family grew, I’d make progress for a few weeks, life would get in the way, and I’d find myself right back where I started. Every Monday felt like another fresh start.
I finally realized the problem wasn’t me.
The problem was the plan.
So I built a simple system around my life instead of trying to build my life around another fitness plan.
That system, the Fatherhood Fit Method, has carried me through the busiest seasons of my life, including becoming a dad of four, running a coaching business, working full time, and recovering from two hip surgeries.
Today, it’s the same system I teach the dads I coach because I believe lasting results don’t come from finding the perfect plan. They come from faithfully following a plan that fits your life, even when life gets busy.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”–Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Fatherhood Fit Method different?
The Fatherhood Fit Method is a coaching program designed for dads who want to lose 20 to 50 pounds, get stronger, and finally stop feeling like they’re starting over every Monday.
Instead of trying to fit your life around another workout plan, we build a plan around your life. Your work schedule, your family, your responsibilities, all of it.
You’ll get a personalized plan for your workouts, nutrition, and daily habits, so you’ll always know exactly what to focus on. No guessing. No starting over.
We’ll stay connected through regular Zoom calls and ongoing support in the coaching app, so when life gets busy, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Most importantly, this isn’t about following a perfect plan. It’s about building one you can keep following for years to come. Because when you take control of your health, it doesn’t just change you. It changes your family too.
What if I have more than 50 lbs to lose? Is this program still for me?
Yes. The only thing that changes is the timeline.
Whether you have 30 pounds to lose or 100, the foundation stays the same.
We’ll build a plan that fits your life, focus on the habits that matter most, and keep making steady progress over time.
Some dads reach their goal in six months. Others take a year or longer depending on where they’re starting.
The goal isn’t to lose weight as fast as possible.
The goal is to build a lifestyle you can maintain for the rest of your life.
What happens on the Assessment Call?
It’s just a conversation.
We’ll talk about where you are right now, what’s gotten in the way in the past, and what you’d like to accomplish over the next 6 to 12 months.
Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck and what a simple plan built around your life could look like.
If it seems like we’re a good fit, I’ll walk you through how the Fatherhood Fit Method works and answer any questions you have.
Either way, you’ll leave the call with a clear plan for your next steps.
What if I’ve tried everything and nothing has worked?
That’s actually where most dads are when they find me.
The problem usually isn’t discipline.
It’s that you’ve been trying to follow plans that were never built for your life.
The Fatherhood Fit Method focuses on a few simple habits that actually move the needle. No extreme diets. No complicated routines that fall apart the moment work or family gets busy.
Instead of starting over every few weeks, you’ll build a system you can keep following for years.
What makes this different from other programs or apps I can download for support?
Most apps give you a generic plan and send you on your way.
Inside the Fatherhood Fit Method, you’re working directly with me.
Your plan is built around your goals, your schedule, and your life as a dad. And when life changes, we adjust the plan together.
You’ll have regular check-ins, direct access to me for questions and support, and accountability every step of the way.
This isn’t another workout plan. It’s personalized coaching that helps you stay consistent for the long haul.
Do I have to give up the foods I enjoy?
No.
If a plan forces you to give up all the foods you enjoy, it’s probably not a plan you’ll stick with for long.
I’ll show you how to enjoy foods like pizza, burgers, and date nights while still making consistent progress toward your goals.
The goal isn’t to eat perfectly. It’s to build a way of eating you can enjoy for the rest of your life.
What if life gets busy again?
That’s exactly what the Fatherhood Fit Method was designed for.
Life is always going to get busy. The goal isn’t to find a season when everything is perfect. It’s to build a plan that still works when life isn’t.
Most workouts take around 30 minutes, nutrition is kept simple, and we’ll adjust the plan as your schedule changes.
Instead of starting over every time life gets busy, you’ll know exactly how to keep moving forward.
What if I miss a workout or have a bad week?
That’s going to happen. Life isn’t perfect.
The goal isn’t to be perfect. It’s to get back on track as quickly as possible without feeling like you have to start over.
I’ll help you adjust the plan, focus on what matters most, and keep moving forward.
One missed workout or one bad weekend doesn’t erase your progress. It just means it’s time for your next good choice.
How much does the program cost?
The Fatherhood Fit Method is a coaching program, so the investment depends on the level of support that’s right for you.
Most dads choose either the 12 week or 6 month coaching program.
The purpose of the Assessment Call isn’t to sell you coaching. It’s to figure out what’s been keeping you stuck and whether I’m the right coach to help you.
If we both feel like it’s a good fit, I’ll walk you through the program, answer your questions, and explain the investment.
If it’s not the right fit, you’ll still leave with a clear plan for your next steps.
What if I don’t have a gym or a lot of equipment?
That’s not a problem.
Your program is built around the equipment you have available. Whether you train at home, in a gym, or a combination of both, I’ll create a plan that fits your situation.
You don’t need a fancy gym or expensive equipment to make great progress. You just need a plan that fits your life.
How much weight can I realistically expect to lose?
Most dads lose between 10 and 20 pounds during their first 12 weeks, but every dad starts in a different place.
More importantly, you’ll build the habits and consistency to keep making progress long after those first 12 weeks.
You’ll have more energy, feel stronger, see your clothes fitting better, and finally feel like you’re back in control of your health.
The goal isn’t just to help you lose weight. It’s to help you become the kind of dad who doesn’t have to keep starting over.
How do I know if this is the right fit for me?
That’s exactly what the Assessment Call is for.
We’ll talk about your goals, what’s been holding you back, and whether I genuinely believe the Fatherhood Fit Method is the right fit for you.
If I don’t think I can help you, I’ll tell you.
Either way, you’ll leave with more clarity and a plan for your next steps.
Ready to Finally Stop Starting Over?
If you’re tired of starting over and you’re ready for a plan that actually fits your life, this is your next step.
During your free Assessment Call, we’ll talk about where you are now, what’s been holding you back, and what a personalized plan could look like for you.
If we’re a good fit, I’ll show you how the Fatherhood Fit Method can help. If we’re not, you’ll still leave with a clear plan for your next steps.
