Testimonials

Fatherhood means love, sacrifice, forgiveness and growth. As a young father I struggled early on to establish the identity and character of the provider I desired to be. Through patience and love the outlook quickly began to change. Although I made several mammoth mistakes, fatherhood was something I was determined to be great at while learning more from my children regarding life’s valuable lessons. More than I could ever imagine, one of the most impactful lessons my son taught me is that … Read more

Durrel Davis on Fit Fatherhood

I love to run, especially when it’s with friends and colleagues. Back in 2010 I remember asking Kimatni D. Rawlins, founder of Fit Fathers, if he would run with me and a few other journalists at the 2011 Hyundai Sonata media briefing in San Diego. Kimatni was up for it and ran with us for about a mile before stopping. At the time I was unaware that he hadn’t run since his football days at Georgia Tech 19 years ago, although we talked about it later that night. Fast forward a few years….and… Read more

I am extremely happy that Kimatni is taking a strong stance and become an outspoken advocate for nutritious and whole food eating habits. The growing Vegan (and Vegetarian) community benefits greatly when charismatic and influential individuals like Kimatni and his company Fit Fathers help others understand the advantages of a healthy, plant-based diet. Go Kimatni!

As a Fit Father, I share love and wisdom that truly strengthens the bond with my daughter. We challenge each other in physical endeavors and with life lessons that bring us closer together while becoming teammates during the process. She gains confidence with every goal and feels better about herself after each milestone is accomplished. A shared experience is ideal for her growth and development and being fit and healthy together affords us this opportunity. I recommend every dad to partake… Read more

Being a Fit Father is belonging to a movement that energizes families to become healthy and active. It allows me to spend quality time with my children and helps with becoming a positive influence on how they live their lives now and in the future. I encourage other men to join the Fit Fathers revolution because every moment we spend together exercising or playing outdoors with our kids is special, beautiful and powerful.

Fatherhood means being there, being available, and letting your children know they can take chances because someone is in their corner. I don’t always want to carry my sons. I want them to know I will be standing right next to them even when they slow down to a crawl. Giving the kids the support to get started and being present when they turn to you, even if they have to forge the way themselves, is what I believe defines a father. I hope someday my kids will return the parenting skills to … Read more

Ivan Lovegren on Fatherhood

It all started last year during the holiday season enjoying fun times with old friends back home in Michigan, and new friends in Maryland. Festive dinners at both grandparents’ homes has always meant something special to me. But looking back at pictures of myself during that time, I was secretly unhappy about the image I saw.

I have always been the optimistic person, wanting for, and believing in the fact that change in moderation was good. Well, this year I wanted something different. I wa… Read more

I’ve always been active, but slowed down a bit after hitting parenthood. However, there’s always a way to incorporate healthy and fun activities into your lifestyle regardless of what stage of life you’re in. Keep moving!

The presents had been opened; the wrapping paper was stuffed in the trash bin. Watching his 2-year-old daughter Cadence playing with her brand new Christmas toys, Kerry Hoffman was suddenly struck by a thought:

“I need to be here to walk her down the aisle.”

Startled by the idea, he turned and caught his reflection in the window, noticing his substantial arms, belly and neck. It was a sight he had grown accustomed to as the years passed, but on this particular day, a new resolve ani… Read more

Being a Fit Father is a full-time job alone. Managing the household, providing guidance, stability and even entertainment is a juggling act. Add in transportation and logistics to all extracurricular activities and you have the most intense job on the planet with its only rivalry coming from motherhood. My family is the most important thing in the world to me! I owe it to them to be around for as long as possible.

Heart disease and diabetes are the health enemies that plague my family tree and … Read more
