Astonishing Ashley

Since the bikini competition category was established at the Olympia eight years ago, Ashley Kaltwasser has stood at the top spot three times (2013–2015), becoming the first rookie to take the title in 2013. And she’s aiming to be back on the podium this September. “My goal is to take home the title of Ms. Bikini Olympia for the fourth time, so I’ll need to come in with my best appearance yet,” she says.

Since her first competition in 2011, Kaltwasser has placed first in 15 IFBB Pro League events. But after winning in 2015, she decided to take a much-deserved break from competition. Note: This doesn’t mean she abandoned the gym.
