Jonathan DeLaRosa, born on May 29, 1984, in New York, is a renowned IFBB Pro bodybuilder known for his impressive physique and competitive success. Inspired by his father, William DeLaRosa, who was also a bodybuilder, Jonathan began his journey into bodybuilding at a young age, initially after an injury playing high school football that led him to discover the sport as a means to regain his strength and muscle mass. Jon has always loved to help his community and spread the benefits of training for overall health and wellness. 

Jon earned professional status in 2011 after competing in the NPC (National Physique Committee) USA’s, which is the pathway to IFBB Pro status in the U.S. His competitive career has seen him qualify for prestigious events like the Mr. Olympia and the Arnold Classic on several occasions. 2014 was his first appearance at the Mr  Olympia. In 2019, Jon qualified for the Mr Olympia where he achieved a 12th place finish after a challenging personal year. His resilience was highlighted in 2024 when he secured a victory at the Tampa Pro, qualifying him for the 2024 Mr. Olympia yet again. 

Jonathan has been through significant life changes, including a marriage to Taylor De La Rosa in December 2023, showcasing his personal life’s evolution alongside his professional achievements. His training philosophy emphasizes hypertrophy, focusing on muscle growth over sheer strength, and he has shared insights into his training methods through various platforms, including his association with Muscle & Fitness and other bodybuilding news outlets.
