I'm Vivien Rolf, an IFBB Wellness Athlete with a passion for fitness and nutrition. My journey began in the bikini and figure classes, and then moved to the wellness class, where I gained valuable experience. After completing my training in the hotel/catering industry in Tyrol (Nauders am Reschenpass), I moved to Switzerland. There, I continually expanded my knowledge of healthy living and athletic performance.

 

In Switzerland, I worked at the Cantonal Hospital in the private orthopedics and surgery ward, where I was responsible for food and hotel service. This experience further deepened my understanding of the importance of a balanced diet. Over the years, I have studied nutrition and hormones in depth to develop the best possible lifestyle for myself and others.

 

Based on this passion, I founded the Vikingstore to offer athletes like you the best products for their fitness journey. I also launched my own company, ViviSoaps, where I produce high-quality natural cosmetics and soaps.
