Connor & Rob Darnbrough – Co-Founders of SmartFit Method on Turning a Health Scare Into a Fitness Revolution

Today on The Casey Adams Show, I sit down with Connor and Rob Darnbrough, the father-son team behind SmartFit Method — a science-backed fitness company built around personalized training and cutting-edge technology. After Rob experienced a life-threatening health scare, they set out to reimagine how people train for longevity, not just aesthetics. In this episode, we dive into the power of adaptive resistance training (ARX), the importance of creating a “physical retirement plan,” and how SmartFit is scaling nationwide through its franchise model. We also explore the lessons they’ve learned building a family-led business, the value of extreme ownership, and what the future of fitness looks like when driven by data, intention, and heart.
