Vivien Rolf

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.

 

It's my pleasure to share my experiences and knowledge here on the Vikingstore blog and to support you on your journey. Let's work toward your goals together!
