As a four-time winner of the Ms. Figure Olympia, Cydney Gillon has proven herself to be one of the best athletes in the division’s history. Things were not always this easy for her though, as it took a lot of hard work to get to that point.

This is how she went from colligate track athlete to one of the greatest Figure bodybuilders of all time.

Early Life

Born to bodybuilder parents, Cydney Gillon was drawn to bodybuilding at an early age. That being said, she never considered a career in fitness, and just enjoyed competing.

This led to her entering her first Fitness contest at the age of 14, simply looking to scratch that competitive itch. At the same time as she was feeling out the world of competition, she was also a solid track and field athlete.

Gillon carried this interest in track through to her college days, where she continued to develop her athleticism. It was around this time that she found herself really attracted to bodybuilding, earning her IFBB Pro Card at the 2021 NPC Nationals in the Figure Class, at just 20 years old.

Cydney Gillon – Bodybuilding Career

After college, Cydney Gillon put all of her focus into bodybuilding, with her endeavor on the field coming to a close. This allowed her to get more knowledge on the best practices for diet and training.

That being said, she was still quite naturally talented and never scored below tenth place on the pro scene. This allowed for her to get an invitation to the Olympia for the first time in 2014, where she placed ninth in the Figure division.

Year over year, Gillon would make improvements as she continued sculpting her physique. This led to things heating up big time in 2017, where all this hard work culminated in her winning the Figure Olympia for the first time.

This began a streak that has still not come to a close at the time of writing. After winning that show, she came in second at the two following contests she competed in the next year. 

Yet Cydney Gillon would close 2018 out in a big way, winning the Arizona Pro, and then the Figure Olympia. Since those contests, she has yet to score any lower than first place, winning the 2019 and 2020 Olympias.
