Jamie Christian Johal / Giant

One of the World’s Tallest Professional Bodybuilders

IFBB Pro League bodybuilder Jamie is also known as “The Giant” due to his huge size. At 6’5 he is named as one of the tallest professional bodybuilders in the world. He has two sides: the scary side and the gentle giant.

He initially started off his career in Athletics and competed at a high level, specifically in Shotput. He then turned briefly to playing football before finding bodybuilding in 2009.

In 2015, he became ‘British Superheavyweight Champion’ and since 2018 became IFBB Pro, going on to win various competitions internationally. He was even placed in the Arnold Classic 2022 top 6: competing against the best in the world.

Alongside competing he also coaches others in bodybuilding, and sees strength and discipline as a key part of day-to-day life.

Before getting into fitness, Jamie worked as a Firefighter so is no stranger to a bit of danger!

Jamie joined the cast of BBC One’s Gladiators in 2023, as the larger than life character ‘Giant’.

Jamie’s media appearances include Comic Relief, This Morning, Blue Peter, Celebrity The Weakest Link, and numerous live events including Truckfest and Snap Fitness. His dedicated online following of 250,000 allows him to share content focused on fitness, strength training, and light-hearted challenges and is set to star in Panto this Christmas with a lead role in Beauty and the Beast at the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton.
