About Us
At DADBOD Fitness, we believe fitness is better when it’s done together. What started as a desire to create a more welcoming, supportive gym has grown into a community where people know your name, celebrate your wins, and help you keep going on the tough days. Our mission is simple: create an environment where anyone can walk in, feel like they belong, and leave stronger—physically and mentally.

DRIVEN BY PASSION. FUELED BY LIFE CHANGE.
Abe Bartlett
Owner/Head TrainerI'm a father, coach, and the proud owner of DADBOD Fitness. My passion for fitness began long before opening the gym, and I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance work, family, daily responsibilities, and taking care of yourself. That's exactly why I created DADBOD Fitness—a place where real people can pursue real results in an encouraging, judgment-free environment.
Whether you're a busy parent, a hardworking professional, or someone simply looking to feel healthier and stronger, my goal is to help you build lasting habits that fit your life—not take it over.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of coaching people at every stage of their fitness journey. From losing weight and building strength to gaining confidence and improving overall health, I've seen what happens when people are supported, encouraged, and held accountable. My coaching philosophy is simple: meet people where they are, celebrate every victory, and help them make steady, sustainable progress.
At DADBOD Fitness, we believe fitness is about so much more than appearances. It's about having the energy to play with your kids, the confidence to take on new challenges, and the strength to enjoy everyday life to its fullest.
My mission is simple: to help everyday people achieve real results, build lasting confidence, and become part of a community that supports them every step of the way.
Gym Rat
MascotThe official mascot of DADBOD Fitness and easily the hardest worker in the building. When he’s not running miles on his wheel, he’s keeping a close eye on workouts and making sure everyone shows up and gives their best. Known for his energy, consistency, and zero excuses attitude, Gym Rat is a daily reminder that progress comes from simply showing up—no matter how small the steps.
