THE ART OF DEVELOPMENT
More than eleven years ago, we embarked on the path of physical and mental development. In the meantime, Potentia Gym has established itself as one of the premier places for health, well-being, appearance and performance improvement in Slovenia. After this time, we are still fully committed to this path. But in order to keep this philosophy, we choose only those members who identify with it. Potentia is a private gym but it’s not closed. We don’t sell clothes, protein powders or bodybuilding magazines in the gym. There are also no televisions, exercise machines or mirrors in it.
EVOLUTION OF POTENTIA PROGRAMS
Potentia is a laboratory. And in the past years, we have combined the world’s most successful and well-established systems of training, nutrition and restoration, with our research and testing. Result? The formation of unique programs which we coordinate according to the ability and requirements of an individual or a group.
INSIDE DISCIPLES, OUTSIDE A MOVEMENT
Over the years hundreds of people have trained in Potentia and naturally like in every community, a number of individuals who excelled by their willpower, their work ethic, and their accomplishments have broken out from the crowd. Individuals who have far exceeded both the general population and the people they’ve trained with. Individuals who have always been and will always be the greatest motivation for all other members.
Luka Gorše – 2013
There must always be the first one who makes way for everyone to follow. Luka paved the way in Potentia, soon after the sports center opened. But the carving of the path did not end there. Luka is still raising standards and setting new ones for constant advancement in performance of Potentia members.
Rok Trost – 2014
Seeing a man who radiates excellence and assuming he has always been like that is natural, but often mistaken. Rok came to his achievements (and consequently into the Hall of Fame) purely because of his iron will and unwavering determination. He not only reached the entry standards but completely crushed them.
Mira Cigüt – 2015
What do we get when we combine talent and hard work? Incredible achievement. Mira entered the Hall of Fame in less than two years of intensive training in Potentia, without any previous experience in this kind of practice. As the first woman, she is an inspiration for all current and future female members.
Urša Gorše – 2016
Through the process of hardening, the material is transformed and consequently forever changed. Human being who gets stronger through adversity never returns to the previous state. Ursa is a great example of such transformation. She reached Potentia’s heights in a little more than three years.
Gregor Kosi – 2017
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. Such paths are covered with obstacles, doubts, and tests. Gregor was able to break through all of this in just over four years, despite his previous serious injury and a flood of other activities. He has proven that no external factor can stop you.
Ivana Planinc – 2018
Success in everything comes down to focus and effort. Fortunately Ivana has both. It’s rare to find a person who does more than she is asked and is always seeking to outrain her competitors. Ivana is that person. She entered Potentia Hall of Fame in little less than two years.
Jasmina Živanović – 2021
There are few straight paths in life. But it’s the ups and downs, twists and turns that make the path all the more rewarding when we finally arrive. Jasmina knows that all too well. She achieved all the norms and was accepted into the Hall of Fame in just over four years.
Oktavijan Aram – 2022
Bravery and willpower are shown by undertaking challenges you are not naturally prone to. Oktavijan was able to achieve all the norms in four years and proven that strength and endurance can go hand in hand.
WHAT OTHER MEMBERS THINK
