Jay Cutler will receive the 2024 Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award. The Arnold Sports Festival (ASF) announced that the bodybuilding great will receive the honor on Saturday, March 2, 2024, as a part of the Saturday night finals of the 2024 Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH.





The announcement was made on the organization’s social media outlets:





“We’re proud to announce this year’s recipient of the Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award is 3x consecutive Arnold Classic champion & 4x Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler!”

According to the Arnold Sports website, the award is given to individuals “who have made notable contributions to the fitness industry and offered a lifetime of service to the enhancement of sports performance and promotion.” Promoter Arnold Schwarzenegger presents the award to the recipient every year.





Cutler’s recognition is due to his success and contributions to the sport of bodybuilding on and off the competitive stage. Cutler was the first athlete to win the Arnold Classic thrice and did so in consecutive years — a feat that has not been matched since.





Cutler won the Mr. Olympia title four times. His greatest feat may be that he was the first man to regain the Mr. Olympia title after losing. Culter, the 2006 and 2007 winner placed, second to Dexter Jackson in 2008 but reclaimed the Sandow Trophy in 2009.





Cutler’s efforts on the business side of the sport have served as a template for other bodybuilders who followed. Fans still revere him, and Cutler stays connected with them through his supplement brand, clothing line, YouTube channel, and podcast, among other ventures.
