Shelley Gruwell is an American female bodybuilder who competed during the early era of professional women's bodybuilding. She is best known for her participation in the 1982 Ms. Olympia, the sport's premier annual championship, where she placed twelfth in the overall competition. This appearance at Ms. Olympia in 1982 marked a significant milestone, as the contest was still in its formative years as an organized professional event for female bodybuilders. Gruwell's placement among the top competitors at that level demonstrated her standing within the competitive female bodybuilding community during the early 1980s, a period that helped establish the foundation for women's bodybuilding as a recognized sport.
