Welcome to Fitshop

Europe's leading home fitness specialist with more than 700 employees developed from a small shop in Schleswig's town centre. Ulrich Tiedje, former table tennis league player, lay the foundation for Fitshop starting the business on April, 1st, 1984 and acquired a dedicated and pioneering business partner when, the information scientist and regional league basketball player Christian Grau entered into the business in 1996. Taking up the challenge to discern the signs of the times and to follow the trend, we first offered our fitness range on the internet in 1999.

Ulrich Tiedje and Christian Grau founded the Sport-Tiedje GmbH as equal partners only two years later in order to create the best prerequisites for servicing our customers in the best possible way and to implement our company philosophy in a straightforward way.

In March 2011, our eponym Ulrich Tiedje left as partner. Since then, Christian Grau has been sole owner of Fitshop.

Our company philospphy is to provide our customers with the best product with the best service and at the best price-performance-ratio. Therefore, we have not only increased our warehouse capacity many times over since 2011 and have turned our head office into a large-scale enterprise, we have also established systematically our network at home and abroad in particular.

Trend and requirements of times, just like our dedication and the trust of our customers, have made us what we are today - Europe's leading retailer of home fitness equipment.

This position was reinforced by the takeover of OZI Sport B.V., a leading fitness equipment supplier in Belgium and the Netherlands, in April 2015. Under the brand of fitshop, Sport-Tiedje runs sixfurther branches in the Netherlands now as well as fitshop.nl, fitness-rent.nl, and fitness-dump.nl, three strong websites, which strengthen the existing Benelux business distinctively.

In November 2015, Sport-Tiedje continued its expansion course in the United Kingdom. With the takeover of Laidir Leisure Ltd. from Glasgow, the second largest home fitness supplier in the UK reinforces the Sport-Tiedje Group. Thus a wide-range online shop as well as 12 stores in the UK belong to Sport-Tiedje under the brand of Powerhouse Fitness.

In addition, 21 fitness equipment locations at KARSTADT sports have belonged to the branch network of Sport-Tiedje since November 2016. Being shop-in-shop stores in the city centres, Sport-Tiedje offers its customers selected fitness large equipment for testing and purchasing nationwide.
