Fit as I once was as a golf pro – my key to lasting top form

EISENHORN: Andrea, golf has been a part of your life for a long time. How did it all start?

Andrea Mantoan: I played golf for the first time when I was ten years old – in South Africa back then. Since that moment, this sport has never let go of me. After moving to Switzerland in 1994, I continued to pursue my passion for golf, both as a player and later as a coach.

Today, I am the Head Pro at Golf Club Erlen and a Swiss Golf Elite Coach. My daily routine consists of trainings, appointments, travels, and taking care of my golf students. It's very diverse, but of course, that doesn't always leave much time for my own training.

EISENHORN: How important was it for you to stay physically fit after your active golf career?

Andrea Mantoan: Very important. When my active career ended, I definitely wanted to maintain my fitness level. On one hand, naturally for myself, but also because I want to be a role model as a coach for my students.

The challenge was to find a training solution that could seamlessly integrate into my hectic everyday life. I need training that is efficient and that I can do flexibly – regardless of what my day looks like.

EISENHORN: And this is exactly where EISENHORN comes into play?

Andrea Mantoan: Exactly. The EISENHORN training system was the perfect solution for me. With it, I can always do an effective full-body workout without having to drive to the gym or drastically reorganize my day.

I particularly appreciate being able to train comfortably at home and still have great variety in exercises available. At the same time, the EISENHORN takes up little space and fits very well into my living space.

EISENHORN: What convinced you about EISENHORN?

Andrea Mantoan: Definitely the versatility. No matter which workout I want to do: Due to the large selection of exercises and the easily adjustable training weight, I can customize my training very flexibly.

For me, the time independence is also a great advantage. With a busy schedule, I often don't know in advance when I'll have time for exercise. With the EISENHORN power station S , I can train whenever it fits into my day – in the morning, between appointments, or in the evening.

That makes it significantly easier for me to train regularly.

EISENHORN: Does the product design also play a role for you?

Andrea Mantoan: Absolutely. I find it important that a piece of training equipment doesn't look out of place at home. The modern, elegant, and compact design of the EISENHORN strength station appeals to me very much.

It fits perfectly in my living space and additionally motivates me to actually use the device regularly. When a training device is constantly visible and also looks good, the threshold to quickly exercise is noticeably lower.

EISENHORN: What is the importance of strength training specifically for golfers?

Andrea Mantoan: A very large one. Golf is technically demanding, but physical fitness also plays a decisive role. Stability, strength, flexibility, and a good core musculature are important prerequisites for a controlled and powerful golf swing.

What particularly excites me about the EISENHORN fitness station is that I can use the cable pull to target the muscle groups that are especially relevant for golfers. This allows many movements to be very functionally designed.

That's why I can well imagine increasingly integrating EISENHORN into the training of my golf students in the future.

EISENHORN: Have you achieved your goal to stay in shape continuously after your active career?

Andrea Mantoan: Yes, absolutely. That was exactly my goal, and EISENHORN helps me to implement it continuously. I can train effectively without losing much time or having to organize my daily routine around my training.

For me, it is the combination of versatility, easy application, space-saving design, and high quality, which makes the difference. An investment in the EISENHORN fitness station is an investment that pays off in the long run for me.

EISENHORN: Your personal recommendation for all readers?

Andrea Mantoan: I can really recommend the EISENHORN training system to anyone who wants to train effectively and time-efficiently. Especially for people with a busy schedule, it is an excellent way to seamlessly integrate regular strength training into daily life.

For me personally, it is the key to staying fit even after my active time as a golf pro – and to maintaining a physical level that I expect from myself at all times.
