StrongDads CIC is The Brotherhood for Fathers Ready to Come Home to Themselves
You're not failing as a father. You're a good man navigating an impossible standard in a world that told you to sacrifice yourself entirely. The quiet frustration you feel, the physical decline you've accepted, the mental exhaustion you carry - this isn't your fault. But it is your choice to change it.
StrongDad CIC is a Community Interest Company dedicated to one mission: helping fathers become mentally sharp, emotionally resilient, and physically capable leaders for their families.
The statistics tell a story that every father recognises but few discuss openly:
Men are 3x more likely to die by suicide than women (17.6 per 100,000 in England & Wales)
10% of fathers experience perinatal depression, yet most suffer in silence
38% of first-time fathers report mental health concerns, with limited support available
69.7% of UK men are overweight or obese, with declining fitness particularly acute among fathers
But behind these numbers is a deeper truth: modern fatherhood has become a trap of impossible expectations. You're told to be present but not emotional, strong but not aggressive, successful but always available. The result? Good men slowly losing themselves in the fog of competing demands.
For military veterans who are also fathers, this challenge is even more complex. The transition from military structure to civilian family life often means losing not just your career, but your identity, your fitness, your brotherhood, and your sense of purpose—all while trying to be the father and partner your family needs.
StrongDad CIC provides evidence-based support that addresses the whole man - not just the father role, but the complete person who happens to be a dad.
Our approach is grounded in research: Exercise interventions produce moderate to large effects on depression symptoms (effect sizes 0.4-0.8), while resistance training shows significant anxiety reduction (effect size 0.54). But we go beyond the gym to address the mental, emotional, and leadership challenges that define modern fatherhood.
Evidence-based fitness programs designed for time-poor fathers, focusing on functional strength, energy, and sustainable habits that fit around family life.
Trauma-informed mental health support, stress management techniques, and crisis resources specifically designed for fathers and veterans navigating identity challenges.
Peer support networks connecting fathers across the UK, with specialised understanding for veteran fathers transitioning to civilian family life.
This is for US - you, I, the team, other readers - this is who WE are and why you are here.
Read. Absorb. Act.
We Believe Men Should Be Strong
Not because society expects it. Not because it looks good on Instagram. But because strength is the foundation of everything else that matters.
Your family needs you strong. Your community needs you capable. Your future self is counting on the choices you make today.
We Reject the Extremes
The fitness industry wants to sell you extremes - get shredded or stay fat, go all-in or give up, be perfect or be nothing.
We choose the middle path. Moderation isn't mediocrity - it's mastery. It's the sustainable way to build a life of strength that lasts decades, not months.
We Choose Capability Over Aesthetics
Six-pack abs won't help you carry your sleeping child upstairs. A perfect physique won't give you the energy to be present for your family after a long day.
We train for life. We build strength that serves a purpose. We develop bodies that can handle whatever life throws at us.
We Face Reality Without Shame
You've tried before and "failed." You've made excuses. You've let yourself down.
So what? That was data collection, not character assassination. Every man who's ever built something meaningful has a graveyard of attempts behind him.
The difference between strong men and weak men isn't the absence of failure - it's the willingness to try again.
We Understand Time is Not the Enemy
You don't need more time. You need better systems. You don't need perfect conditions. You need consistent action.
Twenty minutes of focused effort beats two hours of distracted motion. Every. Single. Time.
We Know This is About More Than Fitness
This is about identity. This is about legacy. This is about becoming the man your family needs you to be.
When you take control of your body, you take control of your life. When you build physical discipline, you build mental resilience. When you get strong, everything else gets easier.
We Reject the Victim Mentality
Your genetics aren't perfect. Your schedule is crazy. Your stress is real. Your challenges are valid.
None of that changes what you need to do. None of that excuses what you're capable of becoming.
Strong men don't make excuses. They make adjustments.
We Build Each Other Up
This isn't about competition. This isn't about being better than other men. This is about becoming better than who you were yesterday.
We celebrate progress over perfection. We support effort over outcome. We understand that every man's journey is different, but the destination is the same: strength, capability, and confidence.
We Lead by Example
Your children are watching. Your partner is watching. Your community is watching.
They don't need you to be perfect. They need you to be strong. They need you to show them what discipline looks like. They need you to prove that change is possible.
We Start Where We Are
You don't need to wait for Monday. You don't need to wait for the perfect plan. You don't need to wait for motivation.
You need to start. Today. Right now. With what you have, where you are.

I'm Adam Lloyd. Former British Soldier, competitive boxer, father of two, and an award-winning men's wellness coach.
For over 16 years, I've helped men just like you cut through the noise and build a life of strength, discipline, and purpose. I've walked this path myself, and I know what it takes. I'm not just a coach; I'm your brother in this fight.
And I know what it's like to lose yourself in fatherhood.
To go from strong and capable to feeling weak, frail, and completely overwhelmed. I chased the wrong things - the money, the titles - and it led me to a complete mental and physical breakdown.
I had to shut it all down to find my way back. Back to my passion, my purpose, my ikigai: helping fathers reclaim their strength.
That's why I created StrongDad CIC.
This isn't just about getting back in shape. It's about rebuilding yourself from the inside out. It's about becoming the man, the father, and the protector your family deserves. It's about creating a brotherhood where no father has to face these challenges alone.
I've been in the trenches, and I fought my way out. Now, through StrongDad CIC, I'm here to show you the way - and to build a community that ensures no father walks this path in isolation.
Let's get to work.
