Biography

Igor Voitenko grew up in a small mining town, so his fate was predetermined, as it seemed to many. His parents instilled in him from childhood the awareness that he needed to be a good person first and foremost. But a profession is not the most important thing in one’s destiny, so one must choose a practical specialty.

The future video blogger’s father was a teacher, and his mother went to Moscow to work. Igor grew up in a large family. In addition to him, his parents had 2 more children: the eldest Artem and the youngest Alina. The children were friendly with each other and still maintain a warm relationship.

Childhood and youth

Little Igor was a smart and obedient boy. He studied diligently at school, but paid great attention to sports. He was distinguished by amazing modesty, which at times did not allow him to answer at the blackboard. And exercise and a strict diet gave me self-confidence.

After 10th grade, the guy entered the Donetsk Technical School to major as an electrician-gas welder. The specialty was chosen by the parents, who at that time taught at this educational institution. Afterwards, the young man did not want to work at the railway depot and entered the institute in Donetsk, choosing the direction of engineering, mechanics and mechanical engineering. Military actions interrupted the training of the future blogger in the 3rd year. Together with his brother and sister, he set off to conquer the capital - Kyiv.

The path to popularity

The biography of Igor Voitenko changes dramatically when he begins an independent life. In Kyiv, a young guy is trying to blog to achieve goals, improving his own body. The young man made his living by printing texts to order.

Six months later, under the influence of an ex-girlfriend who lived in Poland, Igor decided to leave for Warsaw. The guy grabbed every opportunity to make money: he was a loader, a copywriter, posted advertisements, and played poker. Having received a visa in February 2015, he fulfilled his dream, but found himself the odd one out in a love triangle. Having rented an apartment with 5 guys from Ukraine, I got a job that did not require conversational skills - carrying newspapers to mailboxes, cleaning the subway. Afterwards he was hired as a cleaner at McDonald's, and he himself began a transformation of consciousness, which led him to success in the future.

First success

While working at McDonald's, Igor began to actively study the Polish language through audio courses and books. To keep himself in sports shape, he worked out with improvised materials as equipment. For example, I used water bottles as dumbbells.

Igor gradually taught several of his neighbor children to practice on parallel bars, push-ups, pumping up the abs on any horizontal surface, and jumping rope. I trained a lot and looked for ways to get stronger without going to the gym. He filmed all his achievements and posted them online. In 2015, 1000 people subscribed to Igor’s channel in 3 months. After working at McDonald's for 361 days, Igor quit and decided to return to his homeland. At that time, regularly released videos were already viewed by more than 30 thousand subscribers.

For some time, Igor lived in the country, improving his body and receiving a modest income. Teaming up with his older brother, a programmer, the guy worked for 9 months to create a new training program called “Warrior of Sparta.” Having earned extra money from its sale, in 2022 Igor opened the first gym for “Road to the Dream” classes in Moscow. A collection of training and streetwear in discreet colors with the same slogan was also created.

Channel name history

The improvement of physical exercises was accompanied by Igor’s construction of a certain philosophy. The blogger made his first video in 2013, calling it “On the way to a dream.” Already working at McDonald's, the guy built a wall in his room with motivating pictures of the future. And he added a similar inscription, translating it into English - “Road to the Dream.” The guy himself received the nickname Spartak because of his love for street sports, determination and motivation of a real warrior-fighter.

Creative plans

Igor Voitenko is not going to stop there. His plans are to cover the entire planet with the idea of ​​a healthy lifestyle, polishing the body and mind to an ideal state. Already, his business is connected with partners from all CIS countries, contacts are being established in Europe and America.

Project and training program “Warriors of Sparta”

The income from videos on YouTube was about 2 thousand UAH (5 thousand rubles). Increased popularity and success in sports prompted Voitenko to create his own fitness program. The business idea was picked up by Igor’s brother, Artem. Together, a website and application for classes were created. The total income was approximately (RUB 3.8 million). The fitness program is aimed at transforming the body at home.
