2025 Mile High Pro Bodybuilding Show Preview

The 2025 Mile High Pro is set to take place on Saturday, June 7, in Denver, Colorado. This event marks an important stop on the IFBB Pro League calendar and serves as a direct qualification route to the 2025 Olympia Weekend. Specifically, the Men’s Physique and Bikini divisions will headline the competition. Therefore, each division winner will secure a coveted spot on the Olympia stage in Las Vegas, set for October 9 through 12.

Altogether, 46 athletes are slated to compete in this high-altitude contest. In particular, the Men’s Physique division will feature some of the top rising names on the circuit, each hoping to make their mark in one of the sport’s most competitive fields. Meanwhile, the Bikini division continues to attract deep and talented lineups. As a result, fans can expect close scores and plenty of movement during the callouts.

Ultimately, the stakes could not be higher. Since Olympia qualification is on the line, there is no room for off-days or missed peaks. Additionally, the timing of this show—early in the summer schedule—makes it a prime opportunity for athletes hoping to avoid the rush of late-season contests. With so much on the line and so many names in the mix, the Mile High Pro promises to be one of the most impactful qualifiers of the year.

The Bikini division is headlined by Ashley Kaltwasser. Clearly, her 50 pro wins and three Olympia titles put her in a class of her own. Furthermore, her return raises the stakes for every athlete on the stage.

Next, several international names bring fresh energy. For instance, Reyna Perez from Mexico returns after a 14th-place finish at last year’s Olympia. Likewise, Elisangela Franklin of Brazil and Elisabet Vang of the Faroe Islands will look to shake up the American stronghold.

Finally, the Olympia qualification adds high drama. While Kaltwasser and Yurika Noda are already qualified, the rest of the roster is hungry. Consequently, athletes like April Conley, Ali Taylor, and Miriam Egan must be flawless to seize this rare chance.

Bikini Athletes to Watch for 2025 Mile High Pro Show

Ashley Kaltwasser

Ashley Kaltwasser returns to the stage for the first time in 2025. Previously, she won the last two editions of this very show. Therefore, she enters the Mile High Pro not needing the Olympia qualification, as she already holds a lifetime pass as a former champion and 2024 Olympia runner-up.

Next, her appearance sets the tone for the rest of the field. Since no Olympia qualification will be awarded if she wins, the rest of the roster must aim to either beat her or focus on other opportunities. Additionally, her record-setting 50 pro wins only raise the pressure on those hoping to break through.

Ultimately, Kaltwasser’s presence transforms the show into a proving ground. Not only is she the most experienced in the lineup, but she’s also the most consistent. For any Bikini competitor hoping to earn Olympia points or experience, standing next to her will serve as the ultimate benchmark.

Reyna Perez

Reyna Perez makes her 2025 debut at the Mile High Pro. Previously, she placed 14th at the 2024 Olympia. Furthermore, her last victory came at the 2024 World Classic Pro, which secured her prior Olympia qualification.

Now, she aims to qualify once again. Since she hasn’t yet punched her ticket to Las Vegas this year, this contest is a crucial opportunity. Additionally, Perez has a solid reputation for peaking well, especially in high-pressure situations.

Ultimately, the Mile High stage could be her turning point. If she finishes ahead of athletes like Noda or Kaltwasser, her stock will rise significantly. With Olympia slots growing scarce, Perez is one to watch closely in Denver.

Yurika Noda

Yurika Noda comes into this event already qualified for the Olympia. She earned her spot with a victory at the 2025 Optimum Classic Pro in Louisiana on May 25. Therefore, she enters Denver with less pressure and more flexibility in her approach.

Next, her matchup with Ashley Kaltwasser could be especially revealing. Although the qualification is not at stake for either woman, this could preview a future Olympia showdown. For Noda, facing someone of Ashley’s caliber offers a clear test of readiness.

In the end, Noda stands to gain even without winning. Simply holding her ground next to a three-time Olympia champion would send a strong message to judges and fans alike. Among all qualified athletes, Noda may have the most to prove in this lineup.
