Darren was an avid gym-goer who worked a busy job in The City. He thought he was pretty fit until he started training for a Triathlon, and realised he couldn’t swim a pool-length without getting out of breath. 

9 months later - and 28 kilos lighter - Darren’s a different man. He’s now left his corporate job and runs Fitter, Healthier Dad - with a goal to impact 1 million dads.

Darren shares his journey with weightless, getting fitter, and how he’s transformed his life to now be training for the World Ironman Championships. Oh, there’s a little spoiler in this podcast, too.
