Sam Bond (born 1983 in Christchurch, England) is an English amateur natural bodybuilder, weightlifter and television personality who has competed for the British National Bodybuilding Federation and the National Physiques Competition.
He attended St. Peter's School and spent summers as an RNLI lifeguard before going on to have a career as a fundraiser.
In 2006, he came third in the national championships behind two professional bodybuilders. He is one of the highest ranked amateur natural bodybuilders and hopes to become professional later this year.[1]
Bond starred as Atlas in the 2008 revival of cult British television series Gladiators until 2009 when the series ended. His favourite events are Hang Tough and Gauntlet.[2] Then from late 2009 to early 2010 he starred, at the Mayflower Theatre, in 'Santa Claus and the Return of Jack Frost' as Thaw the Glaciator, being present at the Marlands Shopping Centre in Southampton when the Christmas lights were turned on.
In America he has found fame as a book cover model for romance writers, and for 2012, plans to participate in further bodybuilding competitions at home.
