Fit Father Project
About this episode

Episode 179 of the Fit Father Project Podcast is special, and I’m so excited about it — a one-on-one Q&A with our head trainer, Ben Sterling! 

If you’ve been in or around the Fit Father or Fit Mother programs, you know Ben. Now, you’re going to REALLY get to know him!

This awesome chat between Ben and Kat, our head of accountability and coaching, goes deep into Ben’s life story and how he got to where he is today.

Ben joined the Fit Father Project in 2018 with almost 20 years of experience in the fitness and health industry. Finding himself borderline obese one day in college, Ben dedicated his life to health and fitness, dropping over 60 pounds in the process! 


He has since been featured on CNN, The Washington Post, and Canadian Business Magazine for his efforts in the field. 


Ben has a Certified Personal Trainer accreditation from the American Council on Exercise, a Senior Fitness Specialist certification, and a Fitness Nutritionist Specialist certification.


He’s also an all-around great guy, a true family man, and someone with much wisdom and knowledge to share!


In this episode, you’ll learn about: 


  • Ben’s upbringing and how he went from a ‘chubby kid’ to ‘skinny fat.’
  • How he got himself motivated to make a change. 
  • Paying attention to your health and fitness while juggling life and a family.
  • How to make your own lifestyle changes.
  • Dealing with setbacks and adversity. 
  • What’s next for Ben and his Q&A sessions in the Brotherhood and Sisterhood.
  • And so much more!


So, to get the most from your health and fitness efforts, listen to this awesome Q&A with Ben, take some notes, and check out FF30X
