Welcome to Sweat and Shine!

We are two best friends (soulmates) living and loving in West LA. Our names are Courtney and Rachel and we aspire to inspire, inform, and connect using social media! Our unique knowledge and passions for fitness and health allow us to provide a holistic approach to health, happiness, and self-love. We believe that everyone can live a healthy, happy, successful life and we intend to provide you all of the knowledge, encouragement, and positivity we have to offer.

Courtney works in the corporate world as an enterprise field rep for a technology company. She is originally from Oregon, graduated from Boston University in 2011 with a degree in photo journalism and moved to LA in May 2014. She is a nationally qualified NPC Bikini competitor, a former D1 track runner, a former marathon runner, and a former ODP soccer player. Court was chosen as one of Bodybuilding.com’s five female finalists in their global Spokesmodel Search and is now a Team BB.com athlete. She is an up and coming fitness model as well as a talented fitness photographer. Courtney is passionate about fitness and about ensuring that internal health is valued above external appearances. Courtney lives and promotes what she calls the “three S’s” strength, smarts, and sexiness!

Her favorite part of her fitness routine is working out her glutes and hamstrings, which inspired her to create #growbootygrow.

Rachel is a licensed secondary science teacher and works in education for a non-profit start up company. She is originally from New Hampshire, graduated from Boston University in 2012, moved to Colorado as part of the Teach For America corps, and moved to LA in April 2015. She is a yoga instructor in the South Bay, a dancer, a former college cheerleader, and a former competitive ballet dancer. Rach is a pescatarian, gluten free, and is careful about consuming non-GMO, chemical free, unprocessed foods. She is passionate about promoting a deep connection between mind, body, and soul through yoga and fitness. She believes this connection to be a major stepping stone along the path to self-love. She lives her mantra of “choosing happiness” daily and supports others in their own endeavors to choose happiness.

Rach’s favorite yoga poses to practice and teach are inversions, which inspired her to create #mylifeupsidedown.

Thank you for stopping by!
