The partners behind the work

I am careful about who I put my name next to. Everything on this page has been used by me, tested with clients, or run through the floor at CrossFit BC before it ended up here. If it is listed, it earned it. Some links save you money and some earn me a small commission, and none of that changes what I recommend.

Anchor partner and testing ground

CrossFit BC

Coaching · Vancouver, Olympic Village

Where almost everything I build gets tested on real people first.

CrossFit BC in Vancouver's Olympic Village is the gym my wife Christie and I have been part of since 2008. It is a coaching floor, a community, and the place where the ideas behind DadBody stop being theory.

Before a programme shows up here, it usually runs there. The Power 30, the habit work, the check-in rhythm, the way I coach men over forty back into training without wrecking them: all of it has been through hundreds of real sessions with real people who will tell me to my face when something does not work.

That is the honest version of why the two are linked. DadBody is the coaching I run online. CrossFit BC is the room where it gets pressure tested.

  • Coach-led floor since 2008
  • Programmes tested with real members
  • HYROX and hybrid training

Equipment and training

The gear I train on and coach with.

Equipment · Canada

Fitness Experience

Canada's exclusive supplier of CENTR x HYROX equipment.

Equipping Canadian athletes, home gyms and commercial facilities since 1992, with showrooms across the country and staff who understand how the gear is actually used.

Through CrossFit BC we are a Fitness Experience testing grounds partner. We put their equipment through coach-led programming and race-intensity training, then share what we learn. If you are building a home setup for a DadBody programme, start here.

Supportive apparel

Stoko

Moves like apparel. Supports like a brace.

The only clothing I know of with medical-grade support built in. Hidden high-strength cables mimic your muscles and ligaments, so you get adjustable support you can train, run and lift in.

I recommend it most to men coming back from a knee problem who want to train without thinking about it every set.

Measurement and data

If you cannot see it, you are guessing. These are the tools I use to stop guessing.

Blood biomarker testing

Molecular You

Over 200 biomarkers, not a standard panel.

Multi-omic testing covering recovery, muscle health, energy production, metabolic function and early risk indicators, with a personalised action plan delivered within weeks.

This is the depth of insight that used to be reserved for elite athletes. If you are over forty and serious, a baseline is worth doing once.

Body composition

DEXAnear

The gold standard for body fat, lean muscle and bone density.

DEXAnear connects you with DEXA scanning at clinics across Metro Vancouver. I recommend a baseline scan when you start a programme and a follow-up every three to six months.

It is the difference between proving progress and hoping for it. The scale lies. This does not.

Wearable tracking

Free month

Whoop

Know when to push. Know when to back off.

Whoop tracks recovery, strain and sleep. For men trying to train around work, kids and bad nights, it turns how you feel into something you can actually read.

I wear one daily and it pairs well with any structured programme.

Nutrition and supplementation

What I use, trust and recommend. Food first, always. These fill the gaps.

Performance supplements

Unity Nutrition

NSF-certified. Canadian-made. Athlete-tested.

Non-GMO, free of artificial flavours and sweeteners, and third-party certified so you know what is in the tub. Their Ignite Stack and Active Hydration are the ones I keep coming back to.

Gut health

10% off

BioEdge Sciences

Clean ingredients, no theatre.

All-natural supplements with a gut health formula that combines probiotics and prebiotics to support digestion and energy. Vegan, straightforward, and well reviewed.

Nutrition tracking

NutraForge

AI-powered nutrition tracking, built in Canada.

Log meals by voice, photo or barcode against more than a million verified foods. If tracking has always felt like a second job, this is the least painful version I have found.

Health and recovery

The practitioners and products that keep people training instead of resting.

Chiropractic · Vancouver

West 1st Chiropractic

Our neighbourhood chiropractor.

Dr. Randall Trester and his team are right on West 1st Avenue and they are who I send people to for sports injuries, back pain and proactive maintenance.

Research-grade peptides

10% off

Luxara Labs

99%+ purity, every batch lab-tested.

A Canadian supplier of pharma-grade peptides with third-party testing and a Certificate of Analysis on every product. This is an advanced tool, not a starting point. Talk to your doctor first.

Want to work together?

If you build something honest for men who are trying to get their health back, I am open to a conversation. I test before I recommend, and I say no more often than yes.
