PETAR KLANČIR
IFBB PRO
NextGen Founder
I have been actively involved in sports since childhood, and by the age of 15 I had become the multiple champion of Croatia in athletics and achieved a still valid record in the 100m hurdles in the junior competition.
I entered the gym for the first time at the age of 15 and immediately fell in love with weights. My ambition to become an IFBB pro has driven me to work harder every day against the odds. As a two-time runner-up at the Arnold Classic Amateur competition, I have also won multiple titles, the most notable of which are:
In 2012, I became a NABBA Mr. Universe, overall champion of the Balkans in 2014 and overall winner in 2015 at Mr. Olympia Amateur in Prague, where I finally won my IFBB PRO card.
My last competition was the Portugal Pro where I placed third. My goal is to compete at Mr. Olympia and help people achieve their fitness goals and dreams.
IVAN BALAĆ
NPC CLASSIC PHYSIQUE COMPETITOR
NextGen Coach
When I first started my fitness journey, I was anything but the picture of health. I was overweight, 122 kg (270 lbs) to be exact, and I realized that it was due to very poor meal choices, many times I chose to eat fast food, drink soda, etc. I decided to do something about it. I plunged into a new lifestyle, taking care of what I consumed on a daily basis and I have never regretted it.
I had more ups and downs though. It took me years to decide and thoroughly examine my training, my diet and make the necessary changes. One of the best decisions was to hire a coach. Since then I have progressed exponentially and started competing nationally and internationally. I have competed many times, but my most recent result is winning 1st place at the NPC regional show.
I have over 10 years of experience working with clients online and in person, as well as countless client transformations behind me.
MARIO PILKO
NextGen Coach
Coming from a variety of different sports during childhood, I started with resistance training from a young age so naturally it became a fundamental part of my routine. With consistency in training came visible results and as with all things that we enjoy, I naturally wanted to learn more about specific types of training methods, sports nutrition etc. Soon it became my passion and I eventually decided to study kinesiology.
After learning and trying out a wide variety of training principles through the years and applying those that were giving the most optimal results to my clients and myself, I craved for more knowledge and progress so I decided to try and experience the competitive aspect of bodybuilding. On this personal journey I have met Petar and so started an “iron” friendship that would define the years to come.
After completing my competitive journey, I decided to focus fully on helping others achieve their personal health and fitness goals and have been doing so for the last 15 years.
