Who Was Andreas Frey? Why Was He So Famous?
Andreas was born in Timisoara, Romania, on October 20, 1979. He had just turned 43 a few days before he died.
On October 22, FREY Nutrition announced that their co-founder had died:
“It is with deep sorrow that we must announce that Andreas Frey, founder of FREY Nutrition, passed away on the night of October 20 to October 21st. [He] died suddenly in his sleep. Our sympathy goes out to his wife, Ina, and his daughters, Anna and Lisa.”
At age 6, the boy who would become a famous bodybuilder moved to Germany, where his grandmother lived. She is said to have been the main reason his family moved. Most bodybuilders don’t start training until they are in their late teens or early 20s, but Frey was ahead of the curve. He entered his first competition when he was 15 years old and won a bronze medal.
When He Gained Momentum In His Career!
His career got better and better, and he was at the top of his game in the middle of the 2000s. Andreas won a lot of competitions. In 2003 and 2004, he won the NABBA World Championship for two years in a row.
But the 43-year-old was known for coming in second at the 2006 PDI Night Of Champions, behind Priest, who is known as Australia’s best bodybuilder.
The next year, he hurt his pec, which was the end of his professional career. During that time, he competed in 33 events.
Andreas is one of a number of bodybuilders who died too young and too soon. Paul Poloczek of Poland died in June at the age of 37, and Shawn Roden, who was Mr. Olympia, died in November 2021. He was 46.
Andreas Frey’s Family Will Take Over The Business After He Dies
His wife of 23 years is the only one who will remember him. On July 18, this year, they celebrated their wedding anniversary.
They have two cute daughters whose names are Anna and Lisa. When the bodybuilder wasn’t with his family, he promoted his fitness supplement brand, which was popular in his home country. After he retired, he started the business. Ina is one of the people who started FREY, so she will run the company to keep her husband’s dream alive.
