Kody Milanese

Kody is a classic physique competitor from Vancouver Island, B.C. His spends his days pursuing his career as a Journeyman Ironworker with Ironworkers Local 97.

His first show was in 2017, in men’s physique. After some years away from competing, he met his wife who rekindled the spark inside of him to step back on stage. In 2021, he moved to classic physique, and won his class at the Vancity showdown. Then, the following year, he won his first overall title and Best Poser Award at the Vancouver Fall Classic in 2022.

After taking a long off season to improve and needing to requalify for nationals, he won his 2nd overall title and Best Poser Award at Leigh Brandt Muscle Classic in March 2024. Now he’s in prep for VanPro in July 2024 for his first time stepping on the national stage. 

To Kody, bodybuilding is more than just training, or just the gym. It completely turned his life around. He is a dedicated athlete who works long hours in the field but always makes the time to prioritize the gym as well. His coach and best friend, Brandon Chan, has been a huge influence on him, continuing to push him to be better everyday. In his free time he loves to fish and spend quality time with his wife Noriko.
