Evogen 2025 Arnold Classic Recap: The Biggest Moments & Biggest Winners

The 2025 Arnold Classic is officially in the books, and what a weekend it was. From jaw-dropping performances on stage to nonstop action at the Evogen Nutrition booth, this year’s event was packed with fun and excitement.

If you weren’t able to make it out to Columbus this year, you missed out — but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered on the biggest moments and winners of the weekend. And as always, Evogen Nutrition was there with a front-row ticket and we want to showcase everything you might have missed.

Let’s dive deeper into the 2025 Arnold Classic and recap some highlights that made this weekend special.

Jaclyn Baker Takes the 2025 Fitness International Title

Our very own Team Evogen Elite Athlete, Jaclyn Baker, absolutely brought the fire to the 2025 Arnold Classic, securing the Fitness International title in dominant fashion and bringing her best package to date to the stage.

After finishing second at the Arnold Classic in Ohio last year and then going on to win the Arnold UK, she came into this event with something to prove. And prove it she did.

If you were there live, you know how mesmerizing Jaclyn’s routine was. Her routine was next level, showcasing insane strength, flexibility, and precision. With her energy and explosiveness, you might have missed something incredible if you blinked.

Baker’s win solidifies her as a major force in the fitness division and someone to keep an eye on come this year’s Mr. Olympia, where she placed runner-up in 2024. The competition better be ready because Jaclyn is just getting started and with the start she’s already had in 2025, she plans on finishing the competition year exactly how she started it.

The Evogen Nutrition Booth Was the Place to Be

If you made your way through the 2025 Arnold Classic expo floor, you know some booths were cool… and then there was the Evogen Nutrition booth.

This year, we took things to another level with big-name athletes, exciting product launches, and more free samples than you could carry home in your backpack.

Star-Studded Meet & Greets

Fans of bodybuilding and fitness lined up all the way down the aisle to make their way to the Evogen Nutrition booth to meet some of the biggest names in the industry.

We had the legend himself, Evogen Nutrition owner and 25x Olympia-winning coach (and winner of the Best Guru Award) Hany Rambod, dropping knowledge and chatting with fans. Smiles, handshakes, pictures, and training advice were being had by everyone waiting in line to meet the greatest trainer the sport has ever seen.

Cydney Gillon, 8x Olympia Figure Champion, and Team Evogen Nutrition Athlete, was in the house, proving once again why she’s still one of the best to ever do it — even after announcing her retirement from competing at the Mr. Olympia competition last year. The fact that she still shows up at expos, like the 2025 Arnold Classic, shows how much love she has for the sport and this show.

Lauralie Chapados, the reigning 2024 Olympia Bikini Champion, graced the booth, and let’s just say the line to meet her wrapped around the expo floor. To say that Lauralie was a hit is an understatement. Both men and women couldn’t wait to meet our Team Evogen Nutrition Athlete.

We also had rising stars Axel Martinez and Jared Feather making waves at our 2025 Arnold Classic booth. These two are looking more and more like the future of the sport, and if you don’t know their names yet, you will soon.

New Flavors? Yes, Please!

The most common comment we get on our products is a flavor request. You all seem to love our new flavor launches and since you asked for them, we had to deliver.

We dropped some seriously delicious new flavors at the 2025 Arnold Classic, and the feedback was insane. After trying the new flavors, many people even did a double-take, as if they had to rewind what they just experienced.

·      EVP Xtreme N.O. Citrus Candy: Imagine the perfect balance of sweet and sour that keeps your taste buds guessing. This one is an instant hit.

·      IsoJect Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana: Because sometimes you want all the flavors in one shake. Chocolate? Check. Peanut butter? Check. Banana? Check. Gains? Absolutely.

Let’s just say if you didn’t grab a tub at the event, you’ll want to get on that ASAP to find out what everyone has been talking about on the expo floor.

Freebies, Giveaways, and Good Vibes

What’s an Evogen Nutrition booth without free stuff? We went all out at the 2025 Arnold Classic, handing out thousands of product samples so fans could try the best formulas in the game.

One of the biggest highlights? We were giving away FREE BOTTLES of EVP Xtreme AQ RTD (our latest and insanely delicious ready-to-drink pre-workout), and they went fast. People were coming back for more, and honestly, who could blame them?

And, of course, we had our new EVP Xtreme N.O. Citrus Candy front and center. If you were at the booth, you saw firsthand how much people loved it. If you weren’t… well, you missed out. But don’t worry — it’s available now.

Wrapping Up an Epic 2025 Arnold Classic Weekend

The 2025 Arnold Classic was one we’ll never forget, and we hope you felt the same if you stopped by to see us. Between history-making wins, huge product launches, and nonstop energy at the Evogen booth, it was a weekend to remember.

If you stopped by, thank you for making it such an incredible event. If you missed it, make sure you’re there next year. Something tells me that 2026 is going to be even bigger.
