Intervju: Teja Krajnik - Fitnes
Introduce yourself, tell us something interesting about yourself:
My name is Mateja, I come from Cerklje na Gorenjskem, I am 28 years old and for the last few years my passion has been fitness. My boyfriend and I embarked on our business journey and opened our fitness center, which is located in Cerklje. I never imagined that I would have my own fitness center one day, but when I first stepped into a fitness center, I imagined that I would have something similar one day and it happened. The path has not been easy, it still is not, but I am trying day by day to be better every day.
I love summer and the sea, if I could choose, I would happily live somewhere where it is always warm and the sea is always next to me. I also like to jump on a hill, although lately due to knee pain it is not so accessible anymore, but when I decide I go. The pain goes away :)
I try to be positive, smiling, and active every day.
 
What does your average day look like?
My average day depends on what I have planned for that day, I wake up around 6-7am, then I either go to the gym to train or to work (I also work at a bar), in the afternoon I have fitness obligations, because my boyfriend and I run our own gym, it's quite a lot of work, towards the evening I usually have personal training. My day ends at 10pm, I eat dinner and go to bed around 11:30pm.

What were you like as a child, what were you interested in, what did you like to do?
As a child, I really loved being outside with my friends. Back then, computers and phones weren't that interesting. All that mattered to me was having a good time with my friends and being in the fresh air as much as possible.

Where does the motivation for your lifestyle come from?
I never expected this to become my lifestyle. About 7 years ago, I first went to the gym, I didn't know how to start, but I went regularly anyway. Soon my motivation dropped and I quit everything, and this continued for a couple of years. Then I met a guy and after a while we decided to go on a business journey together and open a fitness center, we were complete beginners in business, but we knew that we both loved sports and that we would succeed. We opened the doors of our fitness center in 2020, but because the corona situation started well at that time, we had a difficult year, the consequences are still being felt, but we will not give up, because if we survived this period, we know that it will only get better.
What sports do you often do?
Currently, my only sport is fitness, where I try to get stronger and better with every workout. But if I have a weekend off and the weather is nice, I'm happy to jump up a hill.

Favorite spot you like to go to?
Currently, due to lack of time, I don't go anywhere much, but if I could choose, I would gladly go to a nearby hill where I can clear my mind.


What does good clothing mean to you?
 Good clothes for me mean that I'm comfortable in them, that nothing bothers me, and that when I put them on, I imagine that the world is mine! :D

What changes once you put on sportswear - does your motivation for something more increase?
 I spend most of my time in sportswear, so not much changes. Motivation doesn't mean much to me, because the most important thing is discipline, I've learned what's important in life and what makes me happy.

What do you prefer to wear during sports activities?
 Sports leggings and a sports shirt/top.

Your plans, goals for the future?
 To be better every day than yesterday, to go step by step towards my goal. I don't want to reveal my plans and dreams because then they quickly fade away. I try to become the best version of myself and continue to help people on their fitness journey, it makes me happy when I see smiling faces in the gym because I know they are enjoying themselves and trying to do something good for themselves.
 

What do you like about the Twink short shirt?
What I like most is that it fits perfectly to the body, feels like a second skin, doesn't pinch anything, and is made of breathable materials. A great choice for all sports enthusiasts.
The Twink tank top is really great, it's made of such nice materials that it really fits your body. I tried it in the gym and the material is really breathable, doesn't bind anything and is great for various sports. I can't wait to try it out on some hills.
