Changing bad habits and taking control of your life is never easy — but it's never impossible either! Fit Father Cleve was able to take back control of his life and health, and his story is inspiring.
Cleve is a 49-year-old husband and father who, like many of us, found his health and fitness fall by the wayside during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
As a black belt in karate and a member of a rock band, Cleve was always active. He also lives in Montreal, Québec, Canada, where they had some of the strictest lockdown rules in the world. He couldn’t go to his karate gym, and he couldn’t get together with his band.
Cleve was feeling totally disconnected, and he found himself turning to alcohol and making bad food choices. He was spinning out of control, and he just didn't feel like himself. But then he found the Fit Father Project and was able to make an incredible transformation!
He’s been able to drop over 40 pounds, develop strong exercise habits, and improve his energy. He no longer has back pain or has to use his asthma inhaler, and he's just feeling so much healthier.
It is possible to make amazing changes at any point in your life, and you can achieve the mind, body, and soul you desire. Cleve is a living example of that!

When Health and Fitness Takes a Backseat
While the lockdown helped Cleve hit rock bottom, his health and fitness had already been gradually declining over the years, largely due to the demands of his professional and personal life.
Like many men, he found himself prioritizing work, family, and other commitments, neglecting his own well-being in the process.
“I was caught up in the never-ending cycle of work and family responsibilities, constantly putting my health on the back burner. I became sedentary, indulging in unhealthy eating habits, and the pounds kept piling on. My energy levels plummeted, and I felt trapped in a body that no longer felt like mine.”
Every transformative journey begins with a moment of awakening, a catalyst that propels individuals to take charge of their lives. For Cleve, this moment arrived unexpectedly, serving as a wake-up call of the importance of prioritizing his health.
“It was a routine doctor's visit when the reality hit me hard. I received a concerning diagnosis regarding my elevated blood pressure and increasing weight. It was a wake-up call, a stark reminder that I needed to make a change. I couldn't continue down this path, jeopardizing my health and well-being.”
Motivated to turn his life around, Cleve embarked on a quest to find a sustainable and effective solution. That's when he stumbled upon the Fit Father Project, and it provided everything he needed and was looking for.
“The Fit Father Project came into my life like a guiding light. The approach resonated with me — a comprehensive program that acknowledged the unique challenges faced by busy men. It offered a roadmap to reclaiming my health and fitness while balancing my responsibilities.”
Cleve was looking for a true lifestyle change, not a quick fix, and that's exactly what the Fit Father Project delivers.

Taking Control of Your Life
With the support of the Fit Father Project, Cleve undertook a holistic approach to transform his diet and exercise habits. He learned the importance of proper nutrition and portion control, incorporating a variety of wholesome foods into his daily routine.
“I adopted a balanced diet that focused on whole foods, lean proteins, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. I became more mindful of my eating habits and learned to listen to my body's hunger and fullness cues. It was a gradual shift, but the impact was remarkable.”
Exercise became an integral part of Cleve's journey, with the Fit Father Project providing structured workout plans tailored to his busy schedule.
“The Fit Father Project emphasized the significance of regular exercise. I started with simple activities like walking and gradually progressed to strength training and cardio workouts. The program made it convenient, providing efficient workout routines that I could complete at home or the gym. It made fitness accessible to me.”
After months of dedicated effort and commitment, Cleve has achieved significant progress in his weight loss and fitness goals. He now enjoys a healthier and more vibrant lifestyle, both physically and mentally.
Cleve's commitment to his new lifestyle extends beyond weight loss. He has embraced the principles of the Fit Father Project as a long-term approach to maintaining his health and fitness.
“The Fit Father Project has given me the tools and knowledge to sustain my progress. It's not just a temporary fix but a lifestyle change. I continue to incorporate healthy eating habits and exercise routines into my daily life, and it has become second nature to me.”
Cleve also loves the guidance and support the Fit Father Project Brotherhood Facebook Group provides.
