Early Life

Janet Layug found a love for modeling from the moment she first found it. As she explains, she got her start while working in retail. She went to watch a sports game at her local Hooters when she was handed an application there on the spot. From there, she managed to enter and win a spot on the Hooter’s Calendar.  Moreover, she went on to be on the cover of the 2015 edition, as well as winning the 2014 Miss Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant.

It was due to her enjoyment of doing this, that caused Layug to give bikini bodybuilding a try. Her first contest was the 2013 NPC National Championships. She managed to win first place here, earning her Pro Card in the process. On top of that, it gave her a boost in visibility, with people realizing how talented she was.

Janet Layug – Bodybuilding Career

Layug competed for the first time as a pro athlete at the 2014 Arnold Classic. She was unable to continue her winning ways here, earning 8th in the Bikini competition. However, she would not be deterred, winning the Battle on the Beach show later that year. She would close out her first year as a pro competitor, with a fourth-place showing at the Pittsburgh Pro.

Following this decent first pro year, Layug began to take things more seriously in 2015. She came back to score a much improved 3rd place at the Arnold Classic, as well as winning the Arnold Classic Australia. This victory earned her a spot in her very first Olympia, where she scored a very impressive 2nd place. It was at this point, that people began to realize that she fully established herself as someone to take seriously.

2016 saw Janet Layug take a step back, only competing four times. Moreover, her best performance of the year was only a 2nd place at the Arnold Classic Australia. The next year would see much of the same, with her only scoring 2nd at the 2017 Asia Grand Prix. She began to realize that she needed to make some serious changes.

Those changes became completely obvious in 2018, as Layug came back looking better than ever. She completed six rounds of competition, floating around the 3rd and 2nd position. However, when she ended the year with a win at the Shawn Rhoden Classic, it was clear that she was beginning to turn the corner with her physique.

Layug began finding her stride in 2019, having some amazing performances. Although she landed 2nd place at the Olympia, she won the four other times she took the stage. This included a win at the Arnold Classic Australia and Bikini International contests. She seemed to have figured out where her training needed to be, and the results were evident in the package she took to the stage.
