Michael Lost 65 Pounds and Gained Back His Life: A Faith-Fueled Fitness Transformation”

A Get You In Shape Client Testimony 

Meet Michael — a busy real estate broker, devoted father of two, and now, someone who’s 65 pounds lighter, stronger in faith, and more present for his family than ever before.

At his heaviest, Michael weighed 265 pounds. But the weight wasn’t the only thing weighing him down.

“I was drinking too much in the evenings, eating late, staying up way too late. It just led to a lot of unhealthy habits,” Michael recalls.

Despite success in business, he felt his health and energy slipping away. As a full-time dad with a demanding career, it became clear: something had to change.

A Spark of Change, Fueled by Faith

Michael’s turning point started with a memory — an earlier encounter with Get You In Shape founder Brad Linder.

“I remember when I interviewed Brad two or three years before starting. He prayed with me right there at the table. That stuck with me. I knew he could be an accountable person in my life to help me through what I was going through.”

When Michael committed to the program, he also made several powerful lifestyle changes:

✅ Stopped drinking alcohol in May
✅ Incorporated intermittent fasting
✅ Began consistent workouts and movement
✅ Developed a more structured daily routine

Results That Go Way Beyond the Scale

Michael’s results speak volumes:

💪 Lost 65 pounds
💤 Improved sleep
🏃‍♂️ Gained energy and consistency
👨‍👧‍👧 More quality time and activity with his daughters
🏔 Back to snowboarding, mountain biking, and enjoying life

“Now I get home with energy stored up and spend quality time at the park, walking, running — really being with my kids.”

“I’m fitting into clothes from 5 or 10 years ago. I’ve got more confidence, more energy, and just a healthier mindset.”

Today, Michael’s weight has stabilized between 198 and 200 pounds, and he’s built a lifestyle that supports his family, faith, and future.

“Having consistency in my life again helps me do the things I love. And I know my routine here is a big part of that.”

From Survival Mode to Stronger in Every Way

If you’re a busy Christian man in your 40s or 50s feeling stuck, sluggish, or spiritually disconnected, Michael’s story is proof that transformation is possible—with the right plan, support, and accountability.

“I truly believe Brad’s program is a calling. It’s not just about the workouts. It’s the mindset, the spiritual support, and the accountability that makes the difference.”
