dollars are spent every year in the quest for a perfect body. Gyms are
big business, personal trainers are making a tidy living helping people
stay fit, and body building supplements are at an all-time level of

bodybuilding”, Eugen Sandow was credited with inventing the sport by
inviting people to view his body in muscle display performances.
Sandow built a stage performance around displays of strength
and agility as well as showing off a “Grecian” physique which was
considered the ultimate body. He became so successful, he created
several businesses around his fame and was among the first people to
market body building products bearing his name. As he became more
popular, he was credited with the invention of the first exercise
equipment marketed to the masses.
