Biography
Early Years
Jeremy Buendia was born on October 26,1990, in Roseville California. His father was a non-competitive bodybuilder that inspired Jeremy’s interest in the sport. Growing up, Jeremy has always been competitive, this is what drives his success.
In High School, Jeremy was a linebacker on the football team. He was so skilled in the sport that he even earned an all-league honor. Unfortunately, Jeremy decided to quit football due to injuries he had during his senior year.
Football requires a lot of weight lifting, so by the time he graduated from high school, he was determined to compete in bodybuilding.
Bodybuilding Beginnings
As he began to prep, he trained harder than ever. Several months later, Jeremy stepped on the stage for the first time. He was thrilled. His first competition was the 2008 INBF Capital City Natural Bodybuilding & Figure Championships where he ended up placing 6th. He was not used to losing, so he took a little time away from competing. He wanted to learn from the experience and then return better than ever.
Jeremy trained hard for almost two years and finally decided to come back to competing. At 17 when he returned, his physique was better than ever and this time, he did not disappoint. He was able to defeat the other competitors and he won his first show at the 2010 Contra Costa Championships.
Since then, Jeremy knew that bodybuilding was for him. At the 2010 NPC California State Bodybuilding Championships, he placed an impressive 3rd place. He continue to prep for more prestigious competitions after.
Jeremy continued to excel in the bodybuilding industry and ended up earning his Pro card in 2013 at the Mr. Olympia. Jeremy is an IFBB Pro.
Personal Life
When not competing in bodybuilding, Jeremy Buendia is a personal trainer and provides programs to his clients. His goal is to help those of all body types and creeds to build the kind of body they desire.
Buendia has also been featured in numerous magazines and has become a social media fitness influencer with over three million followers.
In July 2019, Buendia was also the subject of controversy when his ex girlfriend Hilda Laura Amaral publicly accused him of physically abusing her. The announcement was done through YouTuber Kenny KO’s channel via an interview. Buendia denied the claims and filed a lawsuit for defamation against Kenny KO. He later published an apology video claiming that he has anger control issues that he is trying to work on fixing through therapy but has still denied all claims of physical abuse.
In 2020 Jeremy Buendia’s anger control issues seemed to re-ignite after Generation Iron reported on a story involving Buendia and the Black Lives Matter protests. Buendia verbally attacked Generation Iron on social media – claiming that the news story contained factural inaccuracies. He then went on to make further claims beyond the nature of the news piece filled with lies himself.
