What's New in Dad Unit

1.3.0

October 24, 2026

Keep the show playing, sign in by phone, and sharper challenge reviews. - Picture in Picture: the Monday Show and your morning brief keep playing in a floating window while you log a workout or read chat. Drag it to a corner, flick it off the edge into a tab, mute it, tap it to go back to the post. Leave the app and it keeps playing from the lock screen. - Sign in with your phone number: get a code by text, no password to remember. Add your number under Settings. - Eagle Eye challenge reviews: Sgt Gains now checks your challenge proof against the movement standards, with verdicts landing Wednesday through Saturday nights and after the Sunday close. - Fixes for the reload crash some members hit after an update, and the usual round of polish.

Super easy and fun

Very easy to use but so many features to help you get fit. Love the daily motivations and all of the different custom workouts.

Top Fitness Plan

The coaches and team behind the Dad Unit really understand the science behind working out and nutrition. The app, plans, challenges, and psychology behind their games/features show this. If you’re experienced and where you want to be, you will greatly benefit from the app. If you’re not where you want to be, I recommend personalized coaching or going through their selection program (you’ll still use the app). Unfortunately there are no shortcuts or a magical apps, but the right coaching and the science backed program that DU has will help you focus on incrementally showing up and doing the right things. In just a few months you’ll have unbelievable results.

LIFE CHANGINF

The competition aspect of this app and program is so unique and addicting. Being on a team to not only encourage but to compete against others will get you creating habits and doing the hard thing. I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks. I feel great and have created solid habits. 10/10 recommend💪
