An Icon of Natural Bodybuilding
The story of Nancy Andrews in natural bodybuilding began in 1995, when she promoted her very first event — the INBF Northeast Classic and WNBF Pro American. What started as a single stage soon became one of the East Coast’s landmark competitions, known for fairness, professionalism, and true drug-tested integrity. The demand was so strong that Nancy expanded the format to include a Novice division, giving new athletes a platform of their own. That Novice event would later grow into Springmania, which became a premier Pro Qualifier on the natural bodybuilding calendar.
Over the years, Nancy’s role as a promoter expanded far beyond a single show. She brought athletes together through some of the sport’s most recognized events, including the South Shore Natural, Naturalmania and Pro Universe, Springmania, and the iconic Monster Mash. Each one carried her personal stamp — events that were well-run, athlete-centered, and deeply respected across the bodybuilding world.
Nancy was not only a promoter but also a champion on stage herself. A 4-Time WNBF Pro Women’s Bodybuilding World Champion (1997, 1999, 2003, 2004), she brought the athlete’s perspective into everything she did. That combination of competitive success and leadership made her one of the most trusted names in the sport.
Now retired from promoting, Nancy has ensured her legacy continues in the right hands. The Northeast Classic and the Monster Mash — two of her most celebrated shows — have been passed to the ANBF under Ryan Sullivan and Begic Productions, guaranteeing that athletes in the Northeast will continue to compete on stages built with her same values. The Springmania was entrusted to Bonnie Lefrak and Stage Ready Promotions, also with the ANBF, extending Nancy’s vision of growth and opportunity.
For nearly three decades, Nancy Andrews set the standard for what natural bodybuilding events could and should be. Though she has stepped back from promoting, her influence lives on — in the athletes she inspired, the organizations she supported, and the shows that now carry her legacy into the future.
Nancy Andrews: A Legacy in Natural Bodybuilding
In this special episode, I sit down with Nancy Andrews, a 4x Bodybuilding World Champion and one of the most influential figures in natural bodybuilding in Massachusetts. Nancy promoted some of the region’s most iconic events — including the Northeast Classic, Monster Mash, Springmania, South Shore Natural, Naturalmania and Pro Universe — before retiring from promoting.
We discuss what led her to step away from running shows, why she entrusted the ANBF Northeast Classic and Monster Mash to Ryan Sullivan of Begic Productions, and how Springmania was passed to Bonnie Lefrak and Stage Ready Promotions, also under the ANBF. Nancy also shares her favorite memories from decades of promoting, her perspective on the evolution of natural bodybuilding, and her hopes for the future of the sport.
This conversation is more than a look back — it’s a story about legacy, purpose, and the growth of natural bodybuilding in New England
Still Leading, Still Giving Back
Nancy Andrews may have passed her flagship shows forward, but she has never stepped away from the sport she helped build. Today, she continues to share her experience through seminars, posing clinics, and mentorship opportunities that benefit athletes at every level. On show day, Nancy can often be found judging or head judging, lending her eye for detail and fairness to ensure athletes get the recognition they deserve.
Her support reaches across many natural organizations, always with the same focus — keeping bodybuilding drug-free, professional, and athlete-centered. Most recently, Nancy entrusted three of her signature events, including the Monster Mash and Northeast Classic, to the ANBF under Ryan Sullivan and Begic Productions, helping strengthen the federation’s role in the Northeast. By continuing to teach, mentor, and judge, Nancy remains a constant presence in natural bodybuilding while ensuring her legacy grows through the athletes and organizations she supports.
