Ivan is a professional firefighter at the Fire Department of the Town of Vodice. He is included in the firefighting community for over 25 years now - voluntarily and professionally. 

​

As the job of a firefighter is pretty hard and though, it is essential to be in a good physical and mental shape. Ivan is one of the drivers of training and physical activity at the fire house.

 

He started his fitness journey in 2015, with DIY weights and a rack welded by a good friend. Everyone around him could feel his passion for this. Step-by-step, other firefighters joined him for a good WOD, which lead to setting up a real little gym within the fire department, with new gear and support of the captain.

​

His enthusiasm for CrossFit didn't spread just at the fire station. It was inevitable that his wife Katarina shares the same enthusiasm.

 

She is a full-time working office manager at a  yacht sales and service company. With two kids (born 2013 and 2018), there wasn't always time to workout outside the house. So Ivan and Katarina set-up a little home gym in the attic of their house. Katarina progressed very quickly with the fundamentals as well as with more demanding exercises. 

​

Beginning 2022 they decided it was time to bring their knowledge to a new level by certifying what they already know, and learning even more.

 

Ivan is a Certified Functional Fitness Instructor, certified by ARSsport College of Kinesiology. Katarina learned everything alongside with him, but has the ambition to educate herself further in the field of nutrition. 

​

The idea of BIK box was born years ago. Finally, the box opened in November 2022, works under full capacity and has a constant flow of incoming inquiries from people who want to improve their fitness. 

​

We are sure that this story doesn't end here. With those two working together like they did by now, this is to be continued...
