From the world stage to the crisis and back to new strength with EISENHORN
I am Peter Böhler, born and raised in the Black Forest. My passion for muscular bodies began when I was about 14 years old. Inspired by television and various sports magazines, one day I decided to build up my own muscles. I started training in my basement at home with simple exercises such as push-ups and soon set up my own small gym where I put together the training equipment myself as best I could. Although this type of training was exciting at first, it quickly became monotonous due to the lack of variety in the exercises and I struggled to stay motivated.
However, a before and after picture of a bodybuilder in a magazine reawakened my ambition. I wanted to look like him and intensified my training. Progress was slow but steady and I realized that I was genetically predisposed to building muscle.
My path to success
As my passion for weight training grew, I finally left my basement and started training in the gym. My training options expanded there and I made rapid progress.
My first competition, the international Black Forest Cup, was a formative experience. Although I still had hardly any muscles compared to the other participants and therefore no chance, I was determined to get better and compete again.
Motivated by this goal, I increased the intensity of my training and took part in many championships in the following years. I won various regional titles, became Vice German Junior Champion and two years later German Men’s Champion. In 1993, I reached the pinnacle of my career: European heavyweight champion in Sicily and third place at the World Championships in New Zealand. My last participation in the World Championships was in Malta in 1995, where I also came 3rd.
A journey through crises and new beginnings
After many successful years in bodybuilding, I decided to set up my own fitness studio in 1994. I built it up with great passion and commitment, combining my knowledge of weight training with professional studio management. It was an exciting time. The gym offered comprehensive equipment and attracted many members.
But suddenly a personal crisis forced me to end my career and sell my own gym. I moved to Bavaria and started working in a gym there. After a few years in Bavaria, I finally decided on a complete career change and became a beer driver.
Despite the physical demands of my new job, I was longing for a structured workout again after about two years without exercise. However, I lacked the motivation to go to the gym. By chance, I discovered EISENHORN on the Internet. I was immediately fascinated by the quality and versatile training options of the machine. A detailed consultation finally convinced me to buy the device.
The EISENHORN has exceeded my expectations and helped me to start a new chapter in my fitness journey. I am thrilled all round!
New quality of life through home training with the EISENHORN
Since owning the EISENHORN, my everyday life has changed fundamentally. The machine allows me to train effectively and flexibly at home, covering all muscle groups. The versatility of the exercises, the space-saving and aesthetic design and the precision of the exercises inspire me anew every day. In addition to my physical fitness, my mental well-being has also improved. I particularly appreciate the fact that I no longer have to go to the gym, but can work out intensively at home in a short space of time. This gives me more time for myself after work and to support my wife, who has multiple sclerosis. Incidentally, she also uses the EISENHORN regularly to maintain her mobility and muscle strength. So we both benefit from an active and healthy lifestyle.
Training with the EISENHORN is a great choice for anyone who wants to improve their fitness. With my in-depth knowledge of anatomy and muscles, I can confirm that this device is inspiring. Nobody will want to give it back because training with it is simply fun. It is the best investment for the body. Whether young or old, the EISENHORN offers the perfect opportunity to train efficiently and with pleasure.
