Philip Heath

Philip started his amazing athletic career playing varsity basketball at the University of Denver. This experience inspired him to invest and succeed in the bodybuilding profession. The competitive edge of basketball gave him a hunger for driving himself even further and Heath felt that body building would be the perfect way to carve out his niche in the field of sport.

His first competition was in 2003 where he had already managed to increase his body size from 185lbs to 215lbs – a stunning increase – to walk away with the Rocky Mountain NPC USA Championship title. The win gave him a thirst for further competition and so he enrolled in a hardcore gym at the end of 2003 to really hone his body building craft.

This decision led to his winning of the Mr Colorado competition at 200lbs. After this his innate body building ability was cemented when he signed with Weider Health and Fitness to invest in a successful future of competition wins.

Heath has achieved outstanding results across his bodybuilding profession and has been awarded many titles and honours including: 2011 Mr Olympia, 2005 NPC USA’s Men’s Heavyweight and Overall Champ where he was awarded the Pro Card, 2006 IFBB New York Pro 1^st and 2^nd at the Arnold Classic in 2010.

When Heath set out in the bodybuilding industry he aimed to “represent the sport of bodybuilding in a way that many people can relate to while maintaining the respect the sport deserves”.
