Dave Delaney grew up in Brooklyn, and like a lot of kids, his early years weren’t easy. By his early teens he was morbidly obese, with almost no resources or guidance to help him find a different path. But Dave found something more powerful than resources — he found a mindset.
He made a decision to stop hating where he was and start loving where he was going. He learned about nutrition, calories, and the importance of staying in motion. He embraced a simple but unshakeable mantra: love being healthy more than you hate being overweight. That shift changed everything.
Dave went on to build a successful business career using the same principles that transformed his health — show up every day, do the work, and trust the process. One day at a time. He never forgot where he started, and he never stopped believing that the right tools and the right mindset can change the trajectory of a family — and a generation.
Generation Strong is that belief, built into a program.
But Dave’s drive didn’t stop with his own story. He sees what is happening to young people today — obesity has become an epidemic, and too many kids are growing up without the tools, the examples, or the environment they need to be healthy. He knows firsthand how much that gap costs a person. And he knows that the most powerful thing a family can do is train together, eat well together, and show the next generation what a healthy life actually looks like.
Generation Strong is his answer to that. Not just a fitness program — a movement to change the trajectory of families, and through them, the next generation.
