Who We Are and How It All Began
It all started in the not-so-distant year of 2015 with an inspiring spiritual journey to Brazil. Myself, Nikolay Petrov, and my mother Maria Petrova set off for the South American country for personal transformation with one of the most prominent spiritual mentors in the world, João De De Os (João Boži). We underwent various spiritual and physical practices, meditations, a special combined diet with fruits, vegetables, soups, and healing fasting.
The result was impressive and very impactful – we received both spiritual and physical purification and a fundamental transformation of our consciousness. During our stay there, we found that the food in Brazil is more than wonderful, very fresh and delicious. This is how the idea of the Brazilian type of holistic and healthy balanced nutrition was born in us.
Before we started applying it in our work, I myself underwent it to make sure of its effectiveness. I underwent and successfully passed a 168-hour fast with only distilled water. After that, for two months I ate only a snack of oats, watermelon and honey, followed by a two-month regime of pumpkin and honey. I gave my body what it really needed – fresh, colorful and healthy food.
Personally, I went through different nutritional stages – vegetarianism, raw food and veganism. The whole process was also accompanied by the intake of various detoxifying drinks.
Today, I apply this good practice of mine to my acquaintances, friends and clients who want to eat healthy and have both spiritual and physical fitness. With each passing month, I saw how the results became more tangible, and the number of people who believe in my philosophy of nutrition increased.
Thus, the idea for our healthy cuisine was born. During one of my summer vacations, contemplating the vast sea, I decided that the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are just as limitless and I took the risk to do something innovative and useful.
Nikolay Petrov - the Different Fitness Instructor and Health Consultant
As an athlete with 27 years of experience, I have always liked and adhered to the natural physique and a naturally separated, harmonious body. An example of this is the personal results I have achieved, which I have maintained all these years, mainly with proper nutrition and exercise. Since 2015, my diet has been entirely subordinate to the Protein and High-Protein menu of the Fit Panther® kitchen.
My shape almost always varies from 91 to 95 kg, with winter often striving to increase muscle mass, and summer entering a “calorie deficit” for about 3 to 4 months, striving to eat high-protein food with low carbohydrate and medium fat content, rotating with low carbohydrate and “charging” days.
All this develops for me mainly with 4 main sports: fitness, swimming, running and wrestling. My training during the spring and summer period is 6 times a week twice, with me striving to move mainly by bicycle to use more of the natural daily energy expenditure in the form of cardio. These are my sports to maintain my physique, but the biggest factor has always been my diet and eating habits, combined with the right supplements, some of which are proteins, amino acids, herbs, vitamins and minerals.
I graduated from the National Academy of Sports Sciences with a degree in fitness and bodybuilding, a teaching profile and specialization as a health consultant through alternative treatment with food and movement. I profess the philosophy of “A healthy mind in a healthy body”. I think positively, eat healthily, work optimally and planned, and treat my own body with exceptional care and respect.
Chef Maria Petrova: the Person - an Inspiration
I believe in the idea that behind every successful man, there is a woman. For me, this is my mother. The person of inspiration is Maria Petrova. She is a chemical engineer by education, but also a self-taught confectioner and chef with over 35 years of experience in the industry. For many years, we had a pastry shop and a confectionery workshop for the production of boutique cakes and sweets, which we later converted into a mother kitchen in the city of Pazardzhik, with delivery to Plovdiv, Asenovgrad, Stamboliyski and Peshtera.
My mother has countless books and recipes for healthy and innovative foods from all over the world, as well as ways to prepare them. It is her hobby and her passion – to search for and collect traditional and new recipes from all over the world. Thus, the basis of our healthy cuisine was established by traditions from cooking in Bulgarian, Brazilian, Italian, Greek, Mexican, French and Spanish cuisines. However, the basis is still the unique Bulgarian cuisine with its delicious and inspiring dishes. Each of our dishes is prepared from healthy and environmentally friendly products, combined with appropriate spices.
Maria Petrova has the greatest responsibility in our kitchen – she is the head chef and organizer of the entire work process. Every recipe passes through her hands, every activity is carried out under her watchful eye, every dish is tried first by her, and the final word is again hers. She is the pivot that unites, motivates, and inspires us!
I, Nikolay Petrov, have the responsible role of absorbing my mother’s potential and taking care of the correct configuration of components and dishes in each menu. I strive to distribute the correct ratio between proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
One of the most important factors in our kitchen is the correct combination of both products and nutrients, as well as different combinations of dishes and components in the menus, which are determined according to the client’s wishes and their individual goals – losing weight, gaining or maintaining weight.
In addition to these fundamental factors, my brother and I take care of the marketing strategy, finding a market and the vision of our brand.
What is Our Mission
Our main mission has always been to help people. To be healthier, more motivated, more balanced, and to achieve the desired results. We promised to be their best companion in their busy everyday lives and to take reasonable and appropriate care of their healthy nutrition and general physical condition. That is why we made some fundamental updates to our catering base, by installing a special water filtration system, through 3 special filters and an ozonator for meat and vegetables.
In favor of healthy eating, the Fit Panther®️ kitchen cooks with silver water, which has an identical effect to ozonation.
The process goes through three main stages:
Filtration 1 – water purification with silver and copper ions;
Filtration 2 – purification with activated carbon;
Filtration 3 – purification and enrichment with zeolite.
We want to assure you that water purified to sterilization does not lose its mineralization!
To motivate both ourselves and our clients, we created and subordinated our activities to fundamental slogans: “Proper food brings health, and health is happiness” and “Our mission is your good health”.
The Path to Success
And so… in 2016 we opened the first healthy catering kitchen in the city of Pazardzhik. We had professional equipment and gradually we started preparing delicious, nutritious and healthy food, which I mainly offered to my clients in the gym. The advantage was that at that time I was an active fitness instructor and bodybuilding coach. At the moment I am also a graduate master in “Dietology”.
Over the years, I trained dozens of people and friends. They were also my first clients. Gradually, I started to allocate a budget for advertising on social networks, and so our business “conquered” Plovdiv, Asenovgrad, Peshtera, Stamboliyski, and several nearby industrial sites.
The main initiator of all the most delicious recipes, menus and care for the quality of the food is my mother Maria Petrova, to whom all the achievements and the quality of the food in the kitchen are due. My brother also actively participated in our family business, supplying fresh and quality products. Our delivery business also became a fact, first in the city of Plovdiv. I personally traveled to the “city under the hills” for almost a month at my own expense, until the number of customers grew. And this became a fact very soon. After about a month, we had enough, the phone did not stop ringing and the orders rained down one after another.
Over time, we have built and established our brand. The name “Fit Panther”®️ has become recognizable and preferred in the market. Our satisfied customers have also become the “living advertisement” of our kitchen.
So in 2018, we took another big step, namely to leave the small town and go to the city of Sofia, where we would try to win new clients. We did not leave our clients in the Pazardzhik and Plovdiv regions either. Difficult months passed. The kitchen had to be moved three times in 1 year, with each new location being bigger and better than the previous one. Until we finally settled at the foot of Vitosha, right under the Historical Museum – Sofia.
Now, 5 years later, we have the largest catering base for the delivery of healthy all-day menus with over 11 chefs and perfectly organized logistics with many drivers all over the country. And our ambitions do not stop there – we are also exploring opportunities for new clients and deliveries abroad.
To date, our customer base reaches 7,300 subscribed users of our service from all over the country and over 1,250 regular customers.
Our Cuisine - Precision, Professionalism, Variety and a Pinch of "Love"
What has become our trademark over the years is the love for food and the desire to be the best. Our team is very close-knit. Our people really cook with love and desire, because in order to get the magic of delicious and healthy food, precision and responsibility for the work process are required.
First of all, the health of our customers. A very important part is hygiene and properly selected components and their preparation. In total, over 22 types of different configurations of all-day menus from 2 to 6 components. We also have a large range of healthy, natural herbal teas, smoothies and juices, which perfectly correspond in taste and health to the menus we offer.
Fit Panther®️ has the largest number of all-day menu configurations – more than 23 types, as we want to give the customer a fully completed product that improves health, habits and significantly saves time preparing food every day.
In our kitchen, we offer a large number of menus for people with different goals, some of which are:
- Weight loss menus
- Menus for gaining weight
- Menus for maintaining weight
- Menus for people with allergies and intolerances
- Menus for people with diseases
Each of our clients is provided with a precise nutritional record, which records all unwanted foods as well as their favourite dishes. We also offer a free consultation with a fitness instructor and health consultant, Nikolay Petrov.
The fundamental principles we rely on are related to the controlled use of salt, sugar and fat, the limitation of colorings, stabilizers, GMOs and preservatives, as well as the constant enrichment of our recipe library.
Fit Panther® - the Talisman of Success
We chose the name Fit Panther. It comes from the power of the animal Panther – strong and mystical, both for humans and animals. We like its power and that’s why we decided to call our healthy cuisine with the main name “Panther”. But, to make it more recognizable in health and sports circles, we added “Fit” – and so it became “Fit Panther”®️ with the main motto: “Improve your quality of life with Fit Panther®️”. In this way, our name is now a trademark.
Fit Panther®️ was also the first brand for all-day healthy menus in the cities of Plovdiv and Pazardzhik. And now the largest catering company for all-day menus in Bulgaria, with our delivery throughout the country thanks to our partners at Econt.
Sincerely, Nikolay Petrov
