“At Eleiko, we work to make people stronger for better performance in sports and life” (ELEIKO, 2024). With this quote we welcome you to today's podcast episode. We are pleased to welcome Ralph Pfeifer, Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe to the ELEIKO GROUP. ELEIKO is a global leader in the production of high-quality weightlifting and strength training equipment and stands for excellent quality and innovation in the fitness sector. In this conversation, Ralph Pfeifer gives exciting insights into the world of strength training, the mission and vision of the ELEIKO GROUP and how they manage to always stay at the top in the dynamic fitness market.
Ralph, who has been working for ELEIKO for almost ten years, first gives us an overview of what ELEIKO is all about and how the company came about. The founder of the first CrossFit Box in Germany also shares exciting insights into his professional career and explains how his journey at ELEIKO began.
In the current “Coach the Coach” episode, Karl and Ralph talk in detail about what characterizes high-quality equipment for athletics, how it differs from less high-quality material and what quality has to do with safety. They discuss which equipment is really necessary and which you can safely leave out. They also give valuable tips on how ice hockey players can set up an effective home gym to optimize their performance outside the ice rink. They also explain why it is often not necessary to buy the most expensive high-end product. Not every top product is necessary or suitable for every sport, and athletes can often achieve just as good results with less expensive equipment. Ralph and Karl explain what you should pay attention to when choosing and how to find the best price-performance ratio to best meet your individual needs.
Finally, Karl and Ralph go one step further and discuss what a club needs to pay attention to if it wants to set up an athletic room for 28 players. They provide detailed recommendations for choosing the right equipment and planning the space. They emphasize the importance of versatility and durability of the equipment to ensure that all players can train effectively and safely.
Look forward to an insightful episode full of practical tips and exciting insights into the world of strength training - you don't want to miss this episode!
