ABOUT SHAWN

FROM SPECIAL FORCES TO HOLLYWOOD TO BUILDING THE DAD UNIT

Shawn Vance is a former Green Beret medic and celebrity personal trainer who founded the Dad Unit after seeing the same pattern everywhere he worked: high-performing men taking care of everyone but themselves.

The Dad Unit brings elite structure, accountability, and brotherhood to fathers who want to stay sharp, strong, and fully present — at home and at work.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT THE UNIT HAS TO SAY

You don't have to take our word for it. Hear directly from the men who stepped into the arena, followed the mission, and leveled up in every area of their life.

SELECTION: THE 90-DAY PROTOCOL

This isn't another cookie-cutter program. Your training and nutrition are customized to you—your level, your schedule, and your equipment. You train inside a small, committed team with weekly calls and daily check-ins.

Workouts

Customized training plans tailored to your goals, injuries, and schedule. Whether you're in a garage gym or a fancy one with eucalyptus towels–we'll meet you there and level you up.

Nutrition

Simple, sustainable strategies built for real dads. No crash diets. No starvation. Just science-backed strategies.

Mindset

Fortify your headspace with daily check-ins and a squad that won't let you quit. Discipline starts between the ears.

Brotherhood

This is iron sharpening iron...while pumping iron. You'll be assigned to a squad of elite dads who push, roast, and carry each other through the fire.

Gamification

Leaderboards. Weekly challenges, Bragging rights. It's not just fitness–its a competition. And yes, there will be memes.

Don't Think. Just Execute

Your mission is clear: follow the plan. We deliver your workouts and nutrition strategies. You show up and go to work. No guesswork. No wasted reps. Just execution.

100% Money-Back Guarantee

Do the work, and you'll be unrecognizable in 90 days. If you follow the mission and don't get results–we'll refund every cent. We're not hoping this works. We know it does.

Daily Accountability

There's no hiding in this unit. You're either doing the work and getting results–or our team is roasting your ass in the team chat. Show up, or get flamed. Simple as that.

Events

Every quarter, we bring the unit together for real-world connection—retreats, live workouts, and guest speakers who sharpen your mindset, leadership, and purpose. This isn't just online—it's a movement.

WHY IT WORKS

Discipline isn't the problem - environment is.

Most dads fail not because they lack discipline, but because they lack the right environment. The Dad Unit creates an environment where execution becomes automatic.

Customized to You

Your training is built around your schedule, equipment, and fitness level.

Team Accountability

You train inside a small team. Weekly calls. Daily check-ins. A coach who won't let you coast.

Proven System

This is the same system that's transformed hundreds of dads—former athletes, founders, executives, and leaders of all kinds.

Real Results

Most guys drop 20-30 pounds of fat while building muscle in 90 days. The transformation is real.

If you're a dad who knows he's capable of more, who's tired of starting and stopping, and wants real accountability—the Dad Unit was built for you.
