Why I Created The Six Pack Dad Tribe
Written by Tyson Johnson, Founder of The Six Pack Dad Tribe
Back in the early 2000’s, I went through a dramatic health transformation. I went from 25% bodyfat to 8% body fat. It was awesome.
But there was a problem: How I got there wasn’t going to work long term, especially after I graduated college and started a family. My time in the gym was extremely long and intense. And my diet was super strict. I knew it wasn’t sustainable forever.
So my quest became how to slowly become less extreme, while still maintaining my lean, fit, healthy physique, year round. (I say “year round” because one thing I hated was feeling heavy. I would also see guys in the gym who were incredibly strong but had little definition. You definitely couldn’t see their ab definition. I was determined to be different.)
I spent the following years slowly weeding out what I didn’t need, simplifying my approach to make it more sustainable, and removing any extreme aspects of the program. I was basically my own test dummy.
Fast forward to today. I’ve been happily married since 2005 and have three amazing boys. I’ve had a full-time career since 2008. And I’ve been able to sustain my transformation all along the way. To this day, I still hover right around 10-12% body fat year round.
I feel being fit and healthy has enhanced every aspect of my life. In 2018, I started this side coaching business because I realized there were lots of other busy working professional dads out there who needed my help.
My approach is unique and different. It’s simple. It’s sustainable. It’s based on science. It works. And dads get one one one support and accountability with me so they win.
It’s been one of my pride and joys in life to see dads change… To get back the body and health they’ve wanted for years… To have more energy for invest in their families… To feel more confident… To have control over their life.
I’m humbled and grateful every day to be in this business of helping others.
That’s my story. Now I’d love to help you create yours. Let’s work together 1-on-1 and make that happen.
