Kelly Sharp, originally from Brooklyn Park, MN, discovered her passion for lifting weights during her senior year of high school. This love for fitness carried into her 20s, during which she worked as a trainer at Bally’s US Swim and Fitness in the late 1990s.

Kelly’s bodybuilding journey began with her debut competition in 1997 at the Ironman Iron Maiden, where she won the overall title in women’s bodybuilding. After taking a break from competing, she returned to the stage in 2016 at the Gopher State, earning 2nd place in Masters and 3rd overall in Women’s Physique. In 2019, Kelly revisited the Ironman Iron Maiden, taking first place in Masters and winning the overall title in Women’s Physique.

Her role at Los Campeones Gym has reignited and sustained her passion for bodybuilding, allowing her to remain deeply connected to the fitness community.
