Shaun Hadsall
Expert Author | Fat Loss Coach | CPT

Get Shaun Hadsall talking, and the first thing you’ll notice is his enthusiasm and energy. Former Owner-Operator of a Fitness Boot Camp location in Michigan and Founder of Get Lean In 12, he was one of twelve fitness instructors awarded Club Solution Magazine’s “Most-Fit Health Club Professional” for November 2008.

This prestigious award is a worthy addition to Hadsall’s awards and achievements in the fitness industry. A self-proclaimed “hillbilly" from Birch Run,” Hadsall uses his humble beginnings to teach people around the world how to achieve a healthy lifestyle for the body, mind, and soul.

Coincidently, Hadsall admits that the catalyst for his current career and lifestyle began with another contest 10 years ago.

After strength training hard for several years (6 days a week, 2 hours per session) with mediocre results, Shaun eventually reached a plateau. Convinced that “more” was better, it was only natural to train longer and harder thinking it could push him through his plateau until he almost completely burned out.

Frustrated from wasting time and money along with his consistent effort to succeed and passion for fitness, he began studying, educating, and researching relentlessly.

Then, one day in late 1997 Shaun picked up a magazine and saw "real life" success stories from a before & after contest. Not only were these stories inspiring, they were "life changing." With an intense desire to look, feel and act like these people and being inspired to change his life for custody conflicts over his 6 year old daughter, Shaun immediately entered the contest.

Although he was initially drawn to the contest for physical results, he quickly connected with success stories of past winners who had overcome obstacles that mirrored Shaun’s own challenges.

“I read a story about a father who had struggled because he wasn’t able to see his kids, and I immediately related to it.” Hadsall, a young father at the time, explains, “I wanted those changes in my own life. It inspired me to change my philosophy about fat loss and life, the people I hung out with, my lifestyle, and actually pursue legal visitation rights of my little girl.

By the end of the contest, I had joint custody rights of my daughter, was completely debt free, and mended broken relationships. Plus, I had a new body.”

With over 200,000 entries and over 22,000 finishers, Shaun was fortunate enough to be 1st Runner-Up Grand Champion in the now famous Body for LIFE™ Contest.

“After completing my physical transformation I realized every area of my life had become more rewarding and fulfilling, so I had a deep desire to share that gift with others.”

Inspired by his success, Shaun moved on to achieve a level 2 Training Certification to became an Exercise Technologist and Food Coach.

Hadsall sees fitness as the anchor to strengthening every other area in life.

Shaun's priorities and passions include God, his relationships with his wife and children, health, and of course helping transform people’s lives mentally and physically through the 14-Day Rapid Fat Loss System.
