Born June 7, 1928 in Leeds, Yorkshire,
England. Height 6'0". Married Mareon Isaacs on October 22, 1952. Children include daughter Jeunesse (1953) and son Jon Jon (1957).
Reg Park got started in bodybuilding when he was 17, when he met a guy at a swimming pool in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, who has an excellent physique and showed him how to train. Reg was into track and field, and playe soccer, and at first, found weightlifting unappealing to him. In 1946, Reg was drafted and sent to Singapore, where he became a physical therapy instructor. He came back to England in 1948. In 1947, he went back to college, and kept training with weights that his parent's bought him in their backyard. The first contests came in 1949, when he won both contests he entered. In 1955, a wrestling promoter almost convinced him to be a professional wrestler, but the money just was not there.
In 1958, family life was not great for Reg. His wife has developed spots on her lungs, and his two kids had health problems, so they needed to changed to a warmer climate. Since his wife was from South Africa, that is where they moved to. Two weeks before the 1958 Mr. Universe, he entered it again, and won it, which helped him to move to South Africa and open a gym as the current Mr. Universe, which was a great business advantage.
Reg Park was Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodybuiding inspiration. In Italy, Reg starred in 4 movies, including 'Hercules Conquers Atlantis' (1961), 'Hercules at the Center of the Earth' (1961), 'Maciste in King Solomon's Mines' (1964), 'Hercules, Prisoner of Evil' (1964). Reg also was renowned for his strength and his mighty physique. Reg also had published some magazines including Mr. Universe (began March 1952, lasting 8 issues), Muscleman (begain September 1952, lasting 16 issues), and the Reg Park Journal (from January 1954 - December 1959). Reg currently lives in South Africa. Reg was inducted into Joe Weider's Bodybuilding Hall of Fame in January 1999.
