Ashley Kaltwasser (born November 22, 1988) is an American IFBB Pro League bikini competitor who has won three Bikini Olympia titles, two Arnold International Bikini titles, and holds the record for the most IFBB wins of any pro competitor, male or female, with 50 victories.
Early life
Ashley Kaltwasser was born in Akron, Ohio and began her athletic journey at age of 4 as a gymnast. This early start paved the way for a successful high school career in athletics at Coventry High School in Ohio where she transitioned to track and field, competing in hurdles and cross-country, breaking multiple school records and achieving All-Ohio status. Her achievements earned her a Division 1 scholarship for track, where she focused on the 400-meter hurdles. Eventually, encouraged by her former high school coach, Kaltwasser found her passion in physique competitions, carrying her competitive spirit into the world of fitness.
Career
Kaltwasser made her bodybuilding debut in 2011. That year she competed at both the Arnold Amateur, placing fourteenth in Class C, and the NPC Natural Northern USA Championships, placing first. The following year, she won the overall bikini title at the Arnold Amateur and went on to win another overall title and receive her pro card at the NPC Team Universe competition the same year. She made her pro debut at the 2012 Houston Pro, placing fifth.
Kaltwasser's reign in the Bikini Olympia began in 2013, continuing with consecutive wins in 2014 and 2015. This feat makes her one of only two competitors to win the Olympia title in their debut Olympia appearance and the only bikini competitor to achieve this victory more than twice.
