Reg Park believed strength was built through balance training the body while sharpening the mind. This brand exists to preserve that philosophy for a modern generation.
Reg Park, born Roy Park on June 7, 1928, in Leeds, England, was not just a bodybuilding icon but a pivotal figure in the history of the sport. His early life was defined by discipline, resilience, and an uncompromising work ethic.
In 1951, Park achieved international recognition by winning the NABBA Mr. Universe title. He would later reclaim this prestigious title in 1958 and again in 1965, solidifying his place among the greatest physiques of all time.
Park’s impact on bodybuilding stretched far beyond trophies. He was a trailblazer who set new standards for muscle aesthetics, proportion, and raw strength — redefining what elite bodybuilding could represent.
His legacy cast a long shadow over the sport, most notably influencing Arnold Schwarzenegger. Park’s approach to training, mindset, and discipline shaped an entire generation of bodybuilders.
Park was ahead of his time in training methodology and is widely credited with popularizing the 5×5 training routine — a system centered on progressive overload, recovery, and long-term strength development.
Beyond bodybuilding, Reg Park ventured into acting, portraying Hercules in classic 1960s Italian films such as Hercules in the Haunted World (1961) and Hercules, Prisoner of Evil (1964), cementing his status as a global cultural icon.

LIMITED-RUN APPAREL INSPIRED BY REG PARK'S PHILOSOPHY AND ACHIEVEMENTS.
Reg Park was a trendsetter. I know when I started in bodybuilding, it was an odd thing in the mid 1970’s, and people would often make fun of me or say things that we degrading. I can’t imagine guys like Reg Park and what they had to go through. Arnold inspired me and Reg inspired Arnold, it is that simple.Today we have lots of things that make us bigger and stronger than Reg ever had. People look at guys like Reg and never stop and think about the kind of body he built using the simple things available at that time. He didn’t have much of the help that we have today.Stop for one minute and think about that, have some respect for those who paved the way. Guys like you and I are sheep following the flock, just imitating what guys like Reg and Arnold did. Can you imagine that there never would have been a Conan, Terminator, or the honorable Governor of California by Arnold if it weren’t for Reg.Stop and say a prayer for him and his family. I usually see Reg every year at the Arnold and it will be a sad day if we don’t have him next year. He is a legend, He was a pioneer, He was a champion, He is Reg Park.David RyanCo-Medical Director: Arnold fitness weekend.Editorial advisor: Muscle and Fitness magazine.
Reg Park is a Physique legend. His massive, muscular Herculean physique with good looks was the first of his era. Also a first is when he starred in many Hercules movies. Also a first was the superhuman strength and unique workouts that he established.I first met Reg when I was 17 years of age and he personally took time to encourage me, motivate me and even go through his posing routine. This bigger than life character was one of my heroes. He inspired me to follow in his footsteps.He has had great success, as a family man, movie star and businessman. His legacy will continue to motivate multitudes. I consider it an honor to have known Reg personally and can call him and his family personal friends.Dennis TinerinoIFBB professional bodybuilding legend
I met with Reg Park in 1987 during the Amateur World Bodybuilding Championships in Madrid. Then I saw him again in Johannesburg in 1991 during the Mr. South Africa, where the promoter of the competition, Mike Jacobs, invited me to Guest pose. At this contest Reg was the Master of ceremonies.What I didn’t know is that Reg influenced Mike to choose me out of all the Mr. Olympia contenders who competed in Chicago in 1990 to come to South Africa.Because of those circumstances my life changed, in fact during my stay in Johannesburg I met Adele the woman who share my life today and with whom I live the best part of my lifeAlso I would like to thank Reg and wish him the best recovery.Francis BenfattoIFBB professional
