The Ripped Santa

Defying the odds, Inspiring Strength

Bill Everhart, famously known as "The Ripped Santa," is living proof that perseverance can defy even the darkest predictions. After two life-changing injuries, doctors warned Bill he might never walk normally again and could lose significant use of his left arm. But Bill didn’t give up.

At 57, he has shattered expectations, dominating bodybuilding competitions against men half his age. Through his journey, Bill aims to inspire and uplift anyone facing adversity, proving that no matter the challenge, it’s never too late to rewrite your destiny.

TESTIMONIALS


“It all started with a couple conversations in the sauna. I was broken—mentally, physically, and recovering from a serious spine injury. But hearing how Ripped Santa rebuilt himself by studying physiology and mastering his recovery sparked something in me. I was 41 years old when I met him, and I didn’t think it was still possible to turn things around—but the mere sight of his physique at his age, let alone the knowledge he shared, lit a fire in me. I started studying, working, and rebuilding myself. Since then, I’ve lost over 90 pounds and added lean muscle I never thought I’d see again. His story gave me the blueprint—and now I’m living proof that it’s never too late to come back stronger.” - Joe Jones

“RIPPED SANTA COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE…”

Working out with Ripped Santa completely changed my life. When I first came to him, I was dealing with a lot—physically and mentally. I had a disability from my time on the police force, a head injury that threw off my balance, and I struggled with chronic heartburn that made everyday life uncomfortable. I was out of shape and didn’t think I’d ever get back to feeling strong again.

Ripped Santa didn’t just put me through a generic workout. He understood my challenges and built a program around them. I remember him noticing that my glasses actually helped stabilize my balance, so he incorporated box squats to work around that issue and help me regain strength and coordination. Little by little, my balance improved, and I felt my body getting stronger and more resilient. Not only did my muscle strength and endurance increase, but the heartburn that used to bother me constantly also went away.

What I appreciate most is how Ripped Santa didn’t just focus on the physical but also helped me regain confidence. He understood where I was coming from, and he showed me that with the right approach, it was possible to overcome my limitations.

It worked so well that I even brought my nephew to him. He was struggling too, and Ripped Santa fixed him up just like he did with me. Seeing my nephew thrive alongside me was a powerful reminder of how much the right guidance and support can make a difference.

I’m grateful to Ripped Santa for helping me reclaim my strength, balance, and overall health. If he can help me bounce back from where I was, I truly believe he can help anyone.”

His expertise in teaching proper technique has been invaluable, ensuring I work out safely and effectively while recovering from my spine injury. Bill took the time to carefully assess my condition and tailor each session to my needs, allowing me to regain strength without risking further harm. Not only did he focus on correct form, but he also provided great guidance on supplements, helping me optimize my recovery. Thanks to Bill's support and knowledge, I feel stronger and more confident in doing the things I thought I could never do again! They don't call him the “fitness angel” for nothing!

  • I have tried every medical professional available...

    “I have been on physical “challenge” since October. I have tried every medical professional available…to no avail. It wasn’t until your suggestions that the needle moved… I truly believe it was all YOU who healed me over past month and half. I am not 100% but I am 85/90%…i

    Am all in …and I am grateful. You have sold me on the sauna. Which is all I really use there. I’ll keep the PF for massage and eventually/God and Bill willing, I will be back using strength training equipment.... and yes.. but not 8 eggs… two.And lots of salt 🙏 “
