Sports has always been an important part of Petra Studer's life. However, after a break due to injury, she found it difficult to get back into a regular training routine. But the EISENHORN Strenght Station S has rekindled her enthusiasm for exercise. Today, Petra trains in a versatile, flexible, and direct way in her own home.

In the interview, Petra tells us her personal story.

EISENHORN: Petra, please introduce yourself briefly to our readers. Who are you and what has shaped you on your athletic journey?

Petra Studer: I am Petra Studer, a working mother of three children, former elite athlete, and passionate lover of nature and sports. My sports career started early - I was active in competitive judo. Unfortunately, my time as a top athlete ended very abruptly when I suffered severe knee injuries at the age of 17. These injuries unfortunately forced me to give up competitive sports.

EISENHORN: How did it go for you after that?

Petra Studer: After the end of my young judo career, I was not really active in sports for many years. Especially after the birth of my third child, I lost my physical balance - my weight increased to almost 100 kilograms. I no longer felt comfortable in my own body. That was the moment when I decided for myself: Something has to change. And it has to be radical.

EISENHORN: What did your radical change look like or what was your first step?

Petra Studer: The most important step was a fundamental change in diet. I reconsidered and changed my entire eating habits. The result was a massive weight loss, which not only benefited me physically but also mentally motivated me to become more active again.

EISENHORN: What motivated you to start regular training again?

Petra Studer: Due to the changes in my body, I have developed the desire to specifically rebuild my muscles. I wanted to tone and get fit so that I can enjoy my outdoor hobbies - such as hiking or snowboarding - without any discomfort. At the same time, I have become aware of how important it is to exercise regularly and develop a training routine. My main goal is to stay fit and healthy well into old age. That drives me every day.

EISENHORN: Through your training with your EISENHORN fitness station, you have undergone an impressive development. How did it come about that the EISENHORN power station became so important to you?

Petra Studer: When I tried the EISENHORN for the first time, I immediately knew: This is exactly what I need. After my extreme weight loss, I wanted to specifically strengthen my body to be able to enjoy my favorite sports like hiking and snowboarding again without pain and with joy. With the EISENHORN Power Station S I can do my training flexibly and without much time effort at home - it fits perfectly into my busy life as a working mother. Since then, I have no more excuses.

Thanks to the EISENHORN, I have regained my physical fitness, which has brought me greater satisfaction and more joy in life. For me, it is the ideal way to stay at my best, both physically and mentally, and to lead an active and fulfilling life.

EISENHORN: What do you particularly appreciate about your training with your EISENHORN power station?

Petra Studer: It is the versatility and effectiveness. My EISENHORN S provides me with over 100 different exercises, with which I not only build strength, but also strengthen my deep muscles and improve my endurance. This is essential for my outdoor activities. I find the Piston system particularly exciting: The set weight remains constant throughout the entire range of motion. You can't cheat here - no swinging, no rocking, the weight challenges me completely. This makes the training much more intense than with conventional devices.

EISENHORN: What has changed for you through the training?

Petra Studer: I have regained my athletic performance - even though doctors told me back then that I probably would never be able to do sports properly again because of my knee injuries. Today, I can go hiking again, snowboarding, and actively enjoy my life. My EISENHORN has become indispensable to me.

EISENHORN: You are a working mother of three children - how do you manage to juggle training, everyday life, and family?

Petra Studer: Of course, it is sometimes a challenge to find time for my training. But that's exactly why the EISENHORN strenght station is so valuable to me. I can train flexibly whenever my daily routine allows it - without having to drive to the gym or make big preparations. This makes it much easier to integrate my workout into family life.

The EISENHORN allows me to stay fit and full of energy, so that I can be the best version of myself, both for me and for my family.

EISENHORN: How does your family react to your return to sports?

Petra Studer: My family fully supports me - and the nice thing is: the EISENHORN is now even used together by us! It totally motivates me to see that my rediscovered enthusiasm for sports rubs off on my children. As a family, we also spend a lot of time outdoors, go hiking together or exercise in the fresh air. This not only keeps us fit, but also strengthens our bond.

EISENHORN: That sounds like a real win-win situation.

Petra Studer: Absolutely! The EISENHORN strenght station has not only helped me to get back in shape - it has also inspired our whole family to be more active.
