The art of keeping a passion alive for a long time is a real challenge in life. Starting something else when the finish line seems so far away is tempting, but the most passionate would keep the spirit alive somewhere in their heart of hearts. Staying true to your fitness journey while Influencing your family, friends and fans can be difficult unless you persevere and dismiss all of the naysayers in your life. If one can keep the fire alive, the same fire Nick E. Stahl found within himself, overtime you too can be an exception.
Nick E. Stahl is a 24-year-old fitness icon, renowned for his fitness influencing, motivation and all around helpfulness in the health and wellness space. He was born on April 14th, 1996 in Philadelphia but was brought up in the suburbs of a small rural town called Oxford, Pennsylvania.
From early childhood, Nick was very enthusiastic about rollerblading. It was a way for him to let go, be active and grow his relationship with his dad Keith. He was taught at an early age to get outside and build a love for the great outdoors. He was drawn to fishing and hunting both. Since he could remember Nick was holding a fishing rod and firing a rifle. Thankfully, Nick’s dad very much enjoyed traveling, since Nick was a little boy, they along with his mother Donna, sister Robyn and dog Pennie would go on trips all across Pennsylvania and the east coast. These weekends and quality times with his family were the best parts of him growing up. He got exposure to recreational sports and began boating and excelled at water skiing, wakeboarding and numerous others activities. These were some of the best moments of his childhood, summers were his favorite!
His affection towards weightlifting started developing when he was in the 8th grade and it soon grew into his passion for fitness. He credits his early development to his father, who set Nick up with his old school weight bench in the basement of their home he grew up in. He taught Nick the right movements to help get him started. Nick then signed up for football after gaining size and strength. Nick still plays to this day, usually on weekends with friends. The Pittsburgh Steelers are his favorite NFL Football team.
Nick’s creativity started at an early age as he excelled at art. He won several art competitions and is an amazing artist. His eye for perfection helped him excel in photography and translated well to social media platforms. Nick was nominated for the first ever World’s Social Media Influencers awards in 2018, overseas in Monaco. He shared and vlogged this experience on his Instagram handle @nickstahlofficial, you can find those “stories” in the highlight section of his profile.
Nick is a two time Nationally Qualified NPC Men’s Physique Competitor, qualifying on both the east and west coast of the United States. Nick’s success has inspired many who too have the capabilities but lack the moral support and direction to go ahead in their preferred fields.
Nick idolizes James Franco and Channing Tatum and he recognizes himself as a superfan of James Franco as he’s seen all of his movies. The personality and hustle of these idols inspired him to jump into his first acting class after moving to LA. He initially struggled in the pursuit of an acting career. He took several acting classes, put in the time and then signed with Mike Gerard at Esprit Talent Agency and has earned several IMDB credits.
Confidence and the aptitude to explore something new each time you get an opportunity, amalgamate to an exceptional charisma in one’s personality. Nick exemplifies the equivalent and sets yet another example for our society and the youth.
