When I took my shirt off in public, my son looked at his friends and said, “See that shredded guy over there? That’s my Dad.”
If you’re a dad who is embarrassed by the condition of his body, or you are currently unable to enjoy activities with your children the way you once did, then this letter may be the most important life-changing information you will ever read.
This is a 6-week online transformation experience built for busy dads who want to drop fat, pack on muscle, and take back control of their energy, health, and confidence.
My name is Kyle Newell, aka the Panda Man and I’ve been helping dad’s completely transform their lives since 2013, when I ran the very first Ripped Dad’s contest ever held at my private gym in New Jersey.
As a result of that event, I watched as men in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and beyond, turned their lives around, getting ripped and shredded for the first time in many years, and in some cases, for the first time ever.
I saw men who couldn’t run down the block, much less a mile. I saw men who couldn’t do a single pullup turn into machines who could easily knock off a dozen. I saw men who had big, unsightly guts and “man boobs” tilt the scales in their favor. And I saw these men enjoying taking their shirts off in public to pose for photos their children were taking of them.
This is a 6-week online transformation experience built for busy dads who want to drop fat, pack on muscle, and take back control of their energy, health, and confidence.
No longer embarrassed. No longer ashamed. No longer a couch potato dad bod.
NOW a literal, verifiable TROPHY DAD!
Here’s some even better GREAT NEWS:
For the first time ever, I am bringing this legendary program I conducted in New Jersey to the world. But I am doing more than that. I am bringing you an online six-week experience of the same event, but with far more detail, far more helpful advice, for more coaching on how you can and will make the transformation. It’s called:
RIPPED DADS©
Just so you know, I feel your pain. I’ve been through it all. I know what it’s like to be an extremely busy father with numerous time commitments. I have four companies and four young children, and an amazing marriage with Devon, my wife of 14 years.
I’m no stranger to the fact that it’s not easy to juggle everything going on in your life, but over the years, I’ve developed a simple fitness and nutritional program designed to keep your energy up, develop mental toughness and create lasting memories with your family.
Here are some of the secrets YOU can expect to learn when you join the 6-week Ripped Dads Challenge:
Exercises that will build pure, raw strength that carries over to everyday life…
How to have the love handles melt away once and for all
How I’ve helped hundreds of dads torch through their visceral fat (the most dangerous fat of all)
You will learn how to Feast Like a King, while improving blood markers and dramatically improving your body fat to muscle ratio
You will learn how to develop concise core values that you will lead your family with…and why this is so super important
How to engage and inspire your family members to want to live a fitness focused lifestyle
You will learn how to train the most effective way possible in the gym and at home (with nothing more than a few buckets, cinder blocks and simple bands)
5 minutes of supplemental training, that can literally be done anywhere that’ll make your muscles look and feel like steel!
How to start dating your wife again and maybe, for the first time ever, date your children
My system of strength training that’ll not only pack on muscle and superior strength, but it’ll also give the ol’ ticker a better workout than it’s had in decades
How I write strength training programs, so you’ll always be able to develop a solid training program long after our 6 weeks together is over (this is so valuable if you have children that play sports or want to get into training)
I’ll teach you how to get and keep your joints healthy…don’t buy into the philosophy of ‘age, wear and tear and it is what it is’. That’s non-sense.
The protocols that I’ve used to help hundreds of men overcome chronic knee pain
2-5 key stretches I employ every day that’ll keep the disease of aging muscles at bay
The structure I use for my private clients that’ll have you eating more carbs than you probably have in years
What blood work you should be looking at that tells the true story…cholesterol is not evil!
How to get started on testosterone therapy and why it’s definitely something you need to look into
1 Habit I personally do every night that clears my mind and helps me be prolific at what I do
3 secrets I teach clients to do which gets them a nice, peaceful night’s sleep
1 primal form of exercise that has been forgotten by most, yet it can produce dramatic changes in your body and allow you to remain an athlete forever. The hormonal changes from this, alone, would cost you thousands of dollars at the pharmacy…
Yes, this is much, much more than a fitness program.
Of course, your body is your temple and the discipline of building your body will be foundation to everything else we do together.
Here’s what’s included:
Week by week fasting and nutrition protocol, which clients pay me top dollar to teach and Coach them on. You’ll learn about it as you go through it and when it’s over, you’ll have a way of eating that is 100% sustainable and you won’t be counting calories, cutting carbs or any of that silliness.
A 6 week training program (with modifications if needed) that is designed to increase your strength, pack on some raw muscle, improve joint health and mobility. I’ve designed some really cool at home portions of the program that require nothing more than a few ‘blue collar’ toys you can buy at Lowes.
A weekly live Zoom lesson each week where I teach you the science behind what we are doing, how it works, why it works and more. There’s always time for Q and A as well because I want and need you to have clarity around what we are doing so it ‘sticks’.
You’ll have a weekly check in where I check progress, hold you accountable and make adjustments as needed.
A private WhatsApp group with the other Ripped Dads that’ll be the Tribe you’ve been looking for. Knowing that other dads just like you are rebuilding themselves and having the same struggles in fatherhood as you is HUGE. Community and Culture are paramount to any true success story.
You’ll have 24/7 access to me. You can message me at any time on my private number and if you and I need to hop on a call, we will.
‘The Most Attractive Man in Any Room is the Man with the most Certainty…’
There is a HUGE lack of true, old fashioned masculine men in every town across America. My desire for you is to be THAT MAN, that inspires others and that makes everyone feel safe and better because you showed up. It’s possible, I’ve seen it happen to men of all different levels of experience and backgrounds.
Here is the weekly curriculum, which I will cover on our live call each week:
Week 1: Fat Loss and Feasting like a KING
Week 2: Leveling up the Home Life
Week 3: Panda Man Strength Training
Week 4: Primal Testosterone
Week 5: An in depth look at Muscle Building and Strength Training
Week 6: Developing the Year End Vision
You are the Patriarch, you are Paternal, which means, when you examine that word, YOU are tasked with setting the PATTERNS for your family. Not your wife, not some outside, evil influence…YOU!
It begins and ends with you! Your sons will grow up to be the man that you are modeling and your daughter will more than likely wind up marrying a man like you.
The choice is yours….
6 weeks to becoming a BAD A** is yours for the taking.

Be Unconventional,
Kyle aka Panda Man
P.S. - If you’re on the fence, what is it you are worried about? If it’s the money, I have an option to split the payment over 6 or 12 months. If you’ve been burned too many times to count by Fake Fitness X-Spurts, I understand your hesitation but I also know without a shadow of a doubt that this is exactly what will set you FREE.
Gabe, 50, father of 2
“I’ve lost 160 pounds, I was extremely obese.
I knew I could do it, I just followed your principles and kept losing fat and gaining muscle. Absolutely I’d recommend Ripped Dads for any dads out there that are ready to make their transformation!”
Jared Weber, 44 year old, father of 2, Entrepreneur
“Kyle’s teachings continue to blow my mind. He is literally 10 years ahead of the curve, it’s been an amazing learning journey and I feel like I’ve escaped the Matrix! I’ve lost over 10% of my body fat and feel better than I did in my 20’s! I finally found a plan that is sustainable and it continues to produce results. The workouts are one of the highlights of my week! And I’m stronger and have more muscle than I ever have!”
JB, Rutgers Football Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, father of 4
“I’ve gone from 326 to 247, an all time low. Kyle’s approach is unique in that he blends mindset (what he calls Mind Mapping) with flexibility. I highly recommend Ripped Dads to other fathers out there.”
Michael Fisher, 43 year old father, Managing Director at DBD Investment Bank
“I started working with Kyle in January 2025. I have been a huge fan of his for many years. We both share the same values as a Husband and Father. Those shared values were really important to me in hiring a coach. I have been able to lean out while adding muscle which didn’t seem possible. My energy has been great and my workouts are better than ever. I tell everyone that working with Kyle has been the best decision I have ever made.”
Billy D’Angelo,40, father of 2, Longshoremen
“The improvements and benefits to myself since working with Kyle seem endless. Like I said I never expected to be where I am right now as my original goal was just to lose a few lbs. I feel better in every aspect of my life. I’m filled with energy. I feel strong, I have more confidence and have a body that truly didn’t think was possible. Most importantly, I can keep up with my kids' energy levels and make them proud. I tell people all the time that I feel better at 40 than I did at 25. I’m in the best shape of my life when I thought I’d be declining with age. And that includes the 4 years I spent in the army in tip top shape.”
Topher Hall, Actor and Entrepreneur
“If you’re looking for a cheat code you found it!!! Under Coach Kyle's guidance, I've shattered the walls of my limited beliefs. Those so-called gurus' barriers mean nothing when you have the right information and support.”
Bob F., Lawyer, father of 3
“Kyle’s program is brilliant in its simplicity. I’ve been through two stomach surgeries and ate myself right back to my starting weight and beyond.
Kyle helped me to master my mind.
I’m down 100 pounds from my all time high. I highly, without a doubt, recommend his program.”
