Another IFBB Pro has fallen.
The bodybuilding world has lost another veteran of the sport as IFBB Pro and coach Pit Trenz has passed away.
After battling against a heart condition in October, Pit Trenz would eventually come down with pneumonia. The IFBB Pro was taking medicine to treat the pneumonia but would eventually succumb to the illness.
The news of his passing was reported by his wife on Instagram in a heartfelt and tragic message to his followers.
“My husband, my heart, the best person I have ever met … is in heaven tonight.
We always managed everything together and could rely on each other blindly.
We did not win this heavy fight over 4 long weeks.Pit was a fighter and did a lot of the impossible. But like here he has never fought. He gave everything to the utmost. I’m so proud of him!
My husband was a great coach, too often exploited.
But he was a much better man. Everything I never dared dream.We were never afraid to die, only to lose ourselves.
Pit always said we are human.
I do not know how it should go only one more day.
I’ll keep going – just for pit. It was his express wish to go through what we had in mind.”
Pit Trenz was not only a competitor but had trained Dennis Wolf and Markus Ruhl in the past, the later posting his own condolences on his Instagram.
Per Markus Rhul’s Instagram:
“My friend and former coach Peter Trenz died far too young. Our thoughts are with his family and his wife. You will always be remembered.”
