About The Active Dads Club

The Active Dads Club is a Richmond-based fitness community built around one simple idea: helping dads stay active while building genuine mateship. It blends a proper workout with real social connection, giving fathers of all ages and fitness levels a regular reason to move, sweat and catch up.

Sessions are personal-trainer-led, run in a gym space and lean toward energetic HIIT-style training using free weights, kettlebells, rowers and suspension trainers. The format is welcoming and inclusive — newcomers are looked after, and the workouts are scaled so anyone can take part regardless of where they're starting from. Members describe a strong sense of camaraderie, with banter and encouragement flowing through every session.

What sets the club apart is the community that surrounds the training. The structured workout is followed by clubhouse chats or a pub visit, and there are extra ways to connect such as Parkrun meet-ups and family-friendly park trips with the kids. For dads wanting fitness, friendship and a supportive local crew, it's a refreshingly different way to train in Richmond.
