From College Student to Worldwide Fitness Influencer

Nick E. Stahl’s fitness journey started in the 8th grade. Growing up as a skinny kid, he would seek help from his father, Keith Stahl, who inspired Nick to pursue an interest in fitness and bodybuilding. While attending uni, he decided to pursue his dreams by majoring in Kinesiology Movement Science to learn the ins & outs of the human body. After graduating in 2015, Nick decided to move to Southern California to further chase his dreams. He founded and manages his own fitness company, UnSTAHLABLE, derived from his last name STAHL. An online health & wellness website featuring hundreds of articles on useful fitness & wellness information anyone can read for free!

Nick’s first taste of bodybuilding success started in 2013 during those early college years, where he was featured twice over a six week period on Bodybuilding.com’s, We ‘Miring U series. They featured 20 hard working college students every week and their impressive physiques. 

Nick was then determined to compete in real bodybuilding competitions. He debuted in the NPC Lehigh Valley Championships as a Men’s Physique competitor at 22 years old(seen as number 82 in the blue shorts). His hard work paid off later that year in the 2014 Delaware State Delmarva Classic, where he qualified for his first national level competition. 

After moving to the west coast, he continued to compete in multiple bodybuilding shows, including his first west coast show the 2016 Musclecontent.com Championships where he placed 5th in Men’s Physique class C. He then followed up that show at the 2016 LA Grand Prix, in which he qualified for nationals for the 2nd time. Once on the East Coast and once and the West. 

Nick’s national debut was at the 2016 IFBB North American Championships, where he unfortunately fell a few places shy of earning his IFBB pro card. Despite the downfalls, he continued to compete in bodybuilding, placing 1st place at the 2017 Muscle Beach Memorial Day, Novice Light Heavy class. And in 2017, he competed at his 2nd IFBB North American Championships.
