(IFBB Pro League Women’s Open Division Bodybuilder)

Early life

Helle Trevino (formerly Nielsen) was born and raised on a farm in the rural town of Sønderborg in Denmark. Growing up, Trevino was a very active child. She joined gymnastics at the age of three and competed in several sports, including ballroom dancing, swimming, track and field, shot put, martial arts, horseback riding, boxing, cycling , ballet and yoga.

queen of beasts majoring in English and German at college. Later, she entered the world of fitness, where she passed several exams in the field of nutrition and training.

In 2012, Helle moved from Denmark to California to train at Gold’s Gym in Venice. Helle Trevino is only Denmark’s second female professional bodybuilder after Lisser Frost-Larsen, who last competed in 1984.

Start bodybuilding

Trevino joined a gym and started lifting weights when he was 17. She trained seven days a week because she didn’t feel like she needed to take a day off to give her body time to recover.

After bodybuilding for a year, Trevino gained 29 pounds (13 kilograms) of muscle mass, which made her realize she had great genetics and should try her hand at competitive bodybuilding.

Competition and career

Helle Trevino has one of the most interesting competitive careers. She has been competing since 1998, but took two sabbaticals during her two-decade career to reevaluate her strategy and career trajectory.

Helle entered her first competition under her maiden name of Nielsen at the age of 22, five years after beginning bodybuilding. However, her patience and dedication to her craft paid off as she won the heavyweight and overall categories at the Danish National Championships in 1998.

Helle dominated her competition on her next show to win the heavyweight and overall titles at the 1998 Scandinavian Championships in the same year. However, her winning streak came to an abrupt end after she placed tenth in the 1999 World Championships in Australia.

After finishing tenth in Australia, Helle took time off from competition – which turned into three long years – before returning to the stage in 2003 at the Classic Jan Tana. Her strategy paid off as she surprised everyone by winning the heavyweight and general divisions in her first professional show.

A few months after earning her first pro show victory, Helle placed a respectable fifth in the heavyweight class at the 2003 Ms. Olympia. Although everything seemed to be going Helle’s way, she stunned bodybuilding fans. taking a second break from the competitive circuit.

The return

This time, the Beastqueen was out of the competition circuit for seven long years and made a comeback as Helle Trevino to 2011 FIBO Power Pro Germany. She nailed her physique, which helped her eclipse her competition and win the show.

Only a handful of bodybuilders have taken such a long break and come back to the same level. For pulling off this feat, it would be safe to call Trevino the comeback queen.

Trevino did worse at 2011 Ms Olympia and fell to the fourteenth position. However, she stuck to her guns this time and focused on improving her physique by working on the feedback she received from the judges.

Experts believe Trevino has always had the mass to take on the big girls. However, her muscular definition and separation held her back.

Become the Phoenix Rising Wings of Strength Champion

After a lackluster 2012, 2013, and 2014, the Beast Queen returned to winning ways by winning gold at the 2015 Wings of Strength Chicago Pro. She then obtained a place of finalist in the 2015 WOS Rising Phoenix Pro.

For the next three years, Trevino continued to compete in one show a year – Wings of Strength Rising Pheonix Pro, which became the pinnacle of women’s bodybuilding competition after the Olympia weekend halted the Ms. Olympia division.

Helle Trevino cemented her name among the great women of bodybuilding by winning the WOS Rising Phoenix Pro in 2017. She won the coveted title again in 2019.

The favorite for the title of Ms. Olympia

Since Trevino was the 2019 WOS Rising Phoenix champion and 2020 runner-up, she became the favorite to win the Ms. Olympia title when it was reintroduced into the Olympia weekend after Jake Wood took over the Olympia brand in 2020. She finished third behind Andrea Shaw and Margie Martin.

Trevino improved his ranking at Olympia the following year by securing a second place behind Andrea Shaw.
