A Farewell to a Legend: Nancy Andrews Announces Her Retirement
After nearly three decades of dedication to natural bodybuilding, Nancy Andrews, a 4-time WNBF Pro Women’s Bodybuilding World Champion and one of the sport’s most respected leaders, has announced her retirement. Her unwavering commitment to the integrity and growth of natural bodybuilding has left an undeniable mark on the industry, and her influence will continue to shape the sport for years to come.
A Legacy of Excellence
Nancy Andrews has been a pillar of natural bodybuilding since 1995. As President of the WNBF and the longtime promoter of some of the most prestigious events in the sport, she has set the standard for professionalism, competition quality, and athlete experience. One of her most well-known productions, Springmania, has served as a key event for competitors at all levels, providing a stage where athletes could showcase their hard work and dedication in a truly elite, drug-free environment, especially in the state of Massachusetts. Her other shows, the Northeast Classic and the Monster Mash went to Ryan Sullivan of Begic Productions.
A New Chapter with Stage Ready Promotions
With Nancy stepping away, Springmania is entering a new era—one that honors its history while building toward the future. Bonnie Lefrak, founder of Stage Ready Promotions, is honored to carry forward this event, ensuring that it remains a premier natural bodybuilding competition for both seasoned athletes and newcomers alike.
Bonnie’s experience in the fitness industry and her deep passion for natural bodybuilding make her the ideal person to continue Nancy’s legacy. With a focus on high-level competition, inclusivity, and athlete-first event production, Springmania will remain a must-attend event on the natural bodybuilding calendar.
Honoring the Past, Building the Future
Nancy’s contributions to natural bodybuilding go beyond competition—she has inspired athletes, coaches, and promoters alike. Her relentless dedication to the sport has ensured that natural bodybuilding continues to thrive, and as she moves into retirement, her influence will undoubtedly continue to be felt across the industry.
At Stage Ready Promotions, we are committed to upholding the standard of excellence that Nancy set, providing athletes with a top-tier competition experience that celebrates the strength, discipline, and integrity that define this sport.
As we prepare for the next chapter of Springmania, we invite competitors, coaches, and fans to join us in honoring Nancy’s incredible legacy—and to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in natural bodybuilding.
